February 12, 200620 yr I do not understand the attraction of 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' personally I find it rubbish. However if it brings pleasure to other people; then all well and good.I suspect these same people who love 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' have some kind of 'humour deficiency syndrome', they probably 'don't like' comedy genius like 'Fawlty Towers'. Just my view, I am with mittheimp on this! Oh well said! A minority of two, but we have right on ourside!

February 12, 200620 yr Author don't make fun of me but I also like "Jurassic Park" the first one it's fun, not serious, it's the same reason why I like "Lake Placid" "Come to the edge, He said. They said, "We are afraid." "Come to the edge," He said. They came. He pushed them... and they flew." Guillaume Apollinaire
February 12, 200620 yr Am I the only Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness/Bruce Campbell fan out there?
February 12, 200620 yr Author Am I the only Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness/Bruce Campbell fan out there? Well, I do like the Rocky Horror Picture Show, is that close enough "Come to the edge, He said. They said, "We are afraid." "Come to the edge," He said. They came. He pushed them... and they flew." Guillaume Apollinaire
February 12, 200620 yr How come no one has mentioned Forrest Gump? To me it's one of the most honest and sincere movies of all times. Forget about American history references - just look at the life and struggle of one man. Far better than the original book. I have to say that I can't force myself to sit through it again, but I have watched it at least a dozen times. Another movie that I've seen a lot of times is Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise. They have tried to work magic, and it happened. Maybe not in the empty Times Square episode, but overall. Dreams that look so real you don't know when you started lying to yourself. Or maybe it was the soundtrack - it's mesmerising. From Bob Dilan to Leftfield - now that's the long way to put the tracks together. Pulp Fiction has been mentioned. I haven't watched it in a while, but, I think it still retains some novelty, just like ten years ago. What about Austin Powers? Hasn't he been a phenomenon? And, hmm, Natural Born Killers, at least for the raw power.

Am I the only Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness/Bruce Campbell fan out there? This is my Boom Stick! Oh yeah, love those movies!
February 12, 200620 yr don't make fun of me ... ... Do I make fun of you ? Where did you get this idea from ?
February 13, 200620 yr As far as Thai films go I watched "The Bodyguard" and "Ong Bak" more than once , Tony Jaa cracks me up.

February 13, 200620 yr I watched a really great film last night here in Thailand. I bought it on DVD from one of the big chain stores. The film was called ‘Dear Frankie’. I think it’s a recent release. It’s a small movie filmed in Scotland about a single mother and her deaf son. It is the best film I have seen in a very long time. It won’t appeal to the Hollywood explosion fest fan’s out there, but otherwise I recommend it.
February 13, 200620 yr Pulp Fiction - Best dialogue EVER in any movie! The Godfather - The ULTIMATE movie! The Godfather II - The 2nd best ULTIMATE movie! The Lemon Drop Kid - Very old Bob Hope comedy, the best in my opinion from the King of Movie Comedy! Anything Laurel & Hardy - Superb, classic slapstick! Can watch these movies anytime, anywhere and generally do! TV: If I feel like a good giggle, I never get bored with my Del Boy collection or Auf Wiedersehn Pet. I'm waiting for delivery of The Young Ones & Blackadder box sets at the moment. Not movies I know, but still classics!
February 13, 200620 yr Am I the only Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness/Bruce Campbell fan out there? I liked them a lot. Also Re-animator and Phantasm.
February 14, 200620 yr Author Blazing Saddles,Any Monty Python, I'm sick I know. I especially like Monthy Python and The Holy Grail "Come to the edge, He said. They said, "We are afraid." "Come to the edge," He said. They came. He pushed them... and they flew." Guillaume Apollinaire
February 14, 200620 yr Blazing Saddles,Any Monty Python, I'm sick I know. I grew up on Mel Brooks and Monty Python.
February 14, 200620 yr Blazing Saddles,Any Monty Python, I'm sick I know. It's about 25 years ago now, but there was a cinema in Dublin that showed a double bill every Saurday night of... Blazing Saddles and The Holy Grail. I went nearly every week for years! I know it's sad, I can reel off the script to either of them...

February 15, 200620 yr I'm ashamed to admit this, but I have enjoyed the Terminator movies each and every time I've watched them. I can't help it. They are entertaining!
February 15, 200620 yr I can't get enough of "Grease" Got to love that film, musicals are great. I really love The Rocky Horror Picture Show that film is just amazing.
February 15, 200620 yr Author I can't get enough of "Grease" Got to love that film, musicals are great. I really love The Rocky Horror Picture Show that film is just amazing. In Montreal a while back (and like many many other places) we would go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show late at night, and we would bring props like toast, and an umbrella to protect against others who would spary water, some would dress up like the characters and go on-stage and play along the movie. I must have gone at least a dozen times. It was so much fun. "Come to the edge, He said. They said, "We are afraid." "Come to the edge," He said. They came. He pushed them... and they flew."

February 15, 200620 yr I can't get enough of "Grease" Got to love that film, musicals are great. I really love The Rocky Horror Picture Show that film is just amazing. I had forgotten about The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It showed as a late show every Friday night for years in a cinema in Dublin and every now and again they had an 'admission free' night if you dressed us as one of the characters. We'd all show up, erm, feeling happy! and cause mayhem in the cinema. Toast was thrown, water was sprayed, slurpping noises were made, the songs were sung, the dances were danced - it was a riot! The only thing they tried to clamp down on was the lighting of lighters and holding them in the air, a health & safety risk!!! As I said to the manager, the only H&S risk is me showing up in high heels and stockings. He seemed to think this was funny...
