Your favored movie.

[olfu]

Another problem with movies is our  taste changing with our age.

Lets see--my favored movie from China--zero,

                                          from Russia--zero,

                                          from India--zero,

                                          from Africa--zero,

                                          from US--zero.

                                          from France-The Cats;  La Villa,

                                          from Polish state--The Manuscript found in Saragossa.

But I have to admit Japanese movies are something.

Yes, I have my own private movie theater with 4K projector.

Shawshank Redemption.   by some distance.

 

 

Others that impacted at the time - and still have longevity:-

 

The Dambusters

Goldfinger

Sound of Music

Trainspotting

Clockwork Orange 

Papillon

The Godfather

Jaws

Good Morning Vietnam

Interstellar

The first Blade Runner!Being a scifi nut.It's my favorite but I'm not not sure if I would pick it as the best movie ever made that would be tricky.

I have seen things You people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire of the shoulder of Orion, I watched C beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser gate , All these moments will be lost in time , like tears in rain. Time to die.
Blade runner gets my vote

Didn't like Crouching tiger hidden dragon then? Hero was even better.

Thailand has made some excellent movies too.

 

My most favourite movies all come from Studio Ghibli ( Japanese )

I'd give Good morning Vietnam a 10 star rating, if only for the gut wrenching scene that accompanied Armstrong singing What a beautiful world.

Can't watch it now without feeling a deep sense of sadness from Williams killing himself- what a waste of a brilliant life.

Apparently he made all that up on the spur of the moment. Best scene of the movie.

Then they made a sequel and completely cocked it up- so stupid.

Singing in the rain,lost count of the times I have watched this.

[BritManToo]

Fight Club + American Beauty, two movies that woke me up to corporate life and together changed my life.

“Brilliant “.... a much overused word.

 

 

 

....but not in the case of Robin Williams.

For British movies, nothing beats the Monty Python trilogy; Holy Grail, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life which I'm sure spurred the Mel Brookes movies; Blazing Saddles and History of the World part I. (also well done) Can't see either set of flicks being released and accepted today.

All time favorite/most watched would be Patton.

Best horror movie that I've only seen once (so far) "It" by Steven King. I still don't like clowns today.
