Favorite Movies, They did it a while ago Options

[DoomedOne]

Alright, I'm a movie buff. I'm a history buff first, a book buff second, and a movie buff third. I love good movies. Here's my list of my 7 favorite movies. These, in my opinion, are the best movies every made, and some are controversial, but like most hard-core movie buffs, my taste in movies are alternative.

7) Batman Begins

Really great lines, and some very fine actors. It was the best look at my second favorite comic-book hero, and after they screwed up Constatine I was very relieved. The philosophy of Batman felt so relatable that I ate it up.

6) American Beauty

Wonderfully done. Even the inexperienced actors gave knock-down performances. It all felt so real, so gritty and yet really wasn't. Not only that, but the idea of being able to see the world's beauty after you find something spectacular touched down. That monologue was excellent.

5) Once Upon a time in Mexico

The fourth installment of the series of El Mariachi, Desperado and Desperado 2. This is the only one I really liked, and it wasn't that great. Hundreds of movies beat it, I just loved the feel so much.

4) Shawshank Redemption

Everybody knows it.

3) Donnie Darko

Easily third. It's disappointing because in the US it was advertized as a Slasher, and it wasn't at all. It was about growing up in a way, with a few other themes mixed in, loved it.

2) Scarface

Al Pacino is a master. The story was nothing special, the rise and fall of an American gangster, but Pacino's acting is so good, and his lines were so excellent.

1) Crash

Best movie I've ever seen. Can't even describe it, you just have to see it.

Point of this topic is to list your favorite movies. It's been done in Coffee shop once, but that was a long time ago.

I like Disney movies, Aladdin being my favorite.

I hate Disney sequels, no matter which one. With the exception of Winnie the Pooh.

I absolutely though that "War of the worlds" is the worst movie I have ever spent near two hours of my life watching.

Why? Did you read the book? If so it wasn't supposed to be like the book. I loved that movie.

Oh and btw I still love alladin, omg, its like the best movie there is... bring a girl to your house look through your movie cabnet and say,

"Oh my god, look at this.. I haven't seen this in forever"

90% of the time they say, "What is it?" or something else to prove their interest, and then you go..

"Well I know its silly but I love the Alladin movie"

And there like (most of the time, "Ahh! Thats so cute!"

And then you coninue on to say, "I think thats the only movie I've ever cried watching.."

then should come (from teh girl) "Aww, you're so sweet!"

Take movie, insert into VHS player, and enjoy the cuddling

Note that its only worked about 5 times, twice it didn't.... so 90% isn't a very good percentage..
