Nice selection there John, that just about covers my favourites too.

 

[johngalt]

I have more, but I tend to split favorites up into genres, so I have a favorite family, favorite action, favorite suspense, favorite horror, etc.

In fact, when folks ask me my fav, I *usually* respond with "What genre?"

 

[Joan Archer]

I don't really watch many films, can't even remember when I last went to the cinema, there isn't one near me, well there's a small cinema in the town which is about 6 miles away from me and is a 20 minute bus ride, but you can forget it if you want to go on the bus. The last ones in or out of here are about 6 o'clock taxi's cost a fortune and parking in the town is a nightmare.

I don't subscribe to Sky movies plus I don't have time to sit through one nor could I physically be sat down that long

So I don't have any favourites as the ones I've seen I like but wouldn't put one above another

 

[SYNC]

1.Seven Pounds

6. Halloween (very first one)
7. The Net
8. A Walk to remember
9. Pursuit of happyness
10. American werewolf in London



I have so many more

Half the movies I listed I did not see in any sort of cinema or theater (nor theatre, for that matter).

Also, note I did not assign numerical values of any kind - my posts were not in any sort of order, other than in the order that my rambling stream of consciousness pulled them out of my head....

 

[darkassain]

you JG you may be onto to something...
i looked over everyone's list and i may be in the same boat as you are...
all these are very good movies and shine in one way or another...
im not a movie goer per se but i do watch one or two once every two months...
another not mentioned...

the animatrix

 

[johngalt]

I considered putting The Animatrix (2003) (V) in there, but then I would have to have included many other animated films that I liked as well, including Watership Down (1978), The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury (2004) (V), and of course, Titan A.E. (2000)

[black dog]

The first that come to mind are..

Theres something about Mary
American Beauty
As good as it gets

Cant think of any more for now. I hate anything with kung fu, Van Dam, Chuck Norris, car chases, or anything that glamorises war.

 

[johngalt]

I hate Ben Stiller, and anything that is bad comedy.

I just read that someone said they hated Chuck Norris films, which reminded me that Lone Wolf McQuade was a pretty good movie..

[johngalt]

Heh - I see a lot of other movies that I didn't mention - Die Hard, The entire Bourne trilogy, even Star Wars .... all of them....

 

[Gemini Man]

Wow, just realized that NO ONE has mentioned the original Jurassic Park.... :shock:

 

[johngalt]

I didn't care for that much enough to rate it as one of my top films....
I'd pick Twister before JP, and I don't really care for Twister either....well, except for Helen Hunt

 

[Gemini Man]

The Negotiator was a pretty good movie as well, though I question whether or not it's "greatest of all time material". It stars Samuel L Jackson and Kevin Spacey in a conspiracy within the police department..
