Your favourite Movie?
To pass time, I was hoping to see a movie at home but then could not decide which one. So, tell me your favourite English movie and briefly why?
My favourites are: The Shawhank Redemption ( for its hope against hope..never say die attitute ) and The Legends of the Fall ( Its quite an average movie and I never could figure out why i like it so much, maybe for that "bear inside every man" ).
Inglorious Basterds
House of Saddam (series) not really a movie, but who cares.
Becoming Jane
The Other Boleyn Girl
The Pursuit of Happyness
I am Legend
I am Sam
Forrest Gump
Marley and Me
Lord of the Rings (trilogy)
Taken, taking lives.
CITY OF ANGELS...definitely one of my favorite,it makes me cried..bohoooooo!
dog day afternoon. the best movie ever made.
What about the iconic cyber thriller The Matrix?? one of the greatest films in motion picture history.
Just watched it today in the cinema ..great movie!
some of the movies i wud recommend ppl to watch -if only, when a man loves a woman, sweet november, walk to remember, msg in a bottle,here on earth, notebook, remember me, love actually, city of angels for romatic stuff.. then do watch following, dark knight, batman begins,memento,human traffic, lock stock and two smokin barrels, pulp fiction, trainspotting,gladiator,goodbye bafana, zodiac, fracture,goodwill hunting, day of the jackal ( brilliant) , snatch, sea biscuit, schindlers list, pricelesss, a knights tale, ten inch hero.. these are some of my personal fav apart from the ones mentioned in the forum
Didn't anyone watch Amin: The rise and fall about the late Ugandan dictator Idi amin? Good movie that one.
Interesting to know you have been there arien,but Raid on Entebbe is included in this movie as well.
In o particular order(because I think, they'll get jealous of one another)
Fight Club. "You DO NOT TALK about Fight Club."
History Boys. If my memory serves me right, this was actually a play?
Requiem For A Dream. This one is very depressing, and quite disturbing, so be prepared if you do decide to watch this.
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys. This one too is quite sad.
Running with Scissors. Somewhat sad and funny.
Harry Potter 5 and 6. This is the beginning of the end *sad face*
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Jim Carrey actually delivered a good performance.
Click. Lighthearted and quite moving.
Little Miss Sunshine. Not your typical comedy movie.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Will Ferrel is so funny!
Dan In Real Life. Light romantic-comedy-drama movie.
Evan Almighty. I thought Steve Carrel was waaay better thab Jim Carrey.
American History X. Two thumbs up for Edward Norton and Edward Furlong.
Wizard of Oz. I had nightmares when I was little because of the Tin man, LOL
The Man in the Iron Mask. If you're up for some grand adventure with the Musketeers :)
Sleepy Hollow. Tim Burton + Johnny Depp = how can you resist?
Edward's Scissorhands. Again, Tim Burton + Johnny Depp = how can you resist? :D
Sweeney Todd. Long live Tim Burton and Johnny Depp!
The Nightmare Before Christmas. Yes, I am a Burton fan.
The Wedding Singer. I fell in love with Adam Sandler in this movie.
The old Bond movies, not the ones with Pierce Brosnan and the Casino Royale guy. Ugh.
Back to the Future (all 3 of them). Marty McFly was my first love :)
Castaway. I don't know why, but this movie captivated me.
500 Days of Summer. My kind of bittersweet movie.
The only romantic movie that I would suggest you watch is Sassy Girl, it's a Korean film, it'll make you cry, laugh, laugh and cry. Hollywood rom-coms, for me, are basically the same. Similar plot, ending...
So yeah, I'll end my suggestions here, seems like i could go on forever. Have fun watching! :)
Pay it forward or Righteous kill
catch me, it was stupendous, fantaboulously , fantastical movie...the best movie i have seen so far...Aamir is always superb in his acting skill..

& Blood Diamond is good too.
Ratatouille
Did it really scare you? i mean with it's unpredictable villains,the lions in this movie,out to wreck havoc on the entire community in that film,yes i agree it was quite disturbing to a few people.
And btw,Indian actor Om Puri is also in that film.
I might add another african movie based on an actual event,Black Hawk Down,about the failed American Military mission in Somalia.That movie didn't do so well though.
Arien,the last African movie you mentioned is actually The Ghost and The Darkness,it is about two maneless,african man-eating lions during the building of the East African railway during the colonial rule in East Africa,one lion is named Ghost and the other Darkness,it's a fantastic movie.
i've couple of frnz who like shawshank redemption just becoz its top on imdb's all time top 250 movies... i like it too, but its not better than blood diamond...
best English movies are.....in no particular order...

American History X

Blood Diamond , Assassins , Sometime in April ...huh there are many :(
blood diamond is also really good
i agree one of the best
shapil, The Shawhank Redemption!!! it's my favorite movie too...an excellent prison drama!
In fact my QL ID is a dialogue in that movie that impressed me... :)
i kinda like forest gump movie ^_^
I like the "Resident Evil" ( the 3 installments and one more coming up) and all other Femme Fatale movies. "My wife is a gangster" was very nice also(all 3 installments).Plus,I like asian horror movies and always watch them in this site- asia-horror-movies.com.(try it at your own risk);)
Friends,
My all time hit movies are 'The last American Vergin', 'Yes Man', 'The Basket Ball Diaries','3 o'clock high','August Rain','less than zero','Paradise', 'Birthday Girl' & 'Mad Love'
I hate war actions.... but i also love horror/terror like 'cujo', messenger','from dusk till dawn' e.t.c.
'Unfaithful' is one of the best movie ever
Suggest you to watch such movies which entertain you, educate you something good n'makes you to FEEL...
Happy watching.
The Pursuit of Happyness
Starring Will Smith Based on A true story.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pursuit_of_Happyness
i love AVATAR...simply bcoz it touches my heart...
imam, AUSTIN POWER?? wow...It's hilarious..
lol tinker...yup some BOND MOVIES are really irritating and really difficult to digest the story line and the sequences...
I preferred Austin Power then Mr.Bond :P
I love romantic comedies too :P
Fav movie is "Remember The Titans" though.
I like Blood Diamond starred by Leonardo diCaprio...years back I've red a novel based upon the deBeers co.history in South Africa and that attract me to watch Blood Diamond...nearly the same thrilled feeling after finishing both stories...for imagining what kind of life happened there... Horrible and bitter.
And I like the cartoon movies Despicable Me...just like The Devil's Advocate but in humouric taste and its doesn't give me "pain" like the Devil's Advocate.
Happy Watching on the weekend
hey tinker, don't feel bad..Even i like BOND MOVIES..But this one(DIE ANOTHER DAY) was really terrible..
tinker, you know i got severe headace when i went to watch the BOND MOVIE namely DIE ANOTHER DAY...hehehe..
I have seen Demi Moore's GI-JANE and i just loved it..
The reason is just simple : to see a WOMAN FIGHTER as strong as depicted in the movie..
still brave heart is the best
i like the scene when they show their A** to the other army hahaha.
despite of what the actor is now , i like brave heart the most.(acting,music,drama,...etc)
and now he is a racist after his "small comment about jews"
they own the media that plays in your minds, so simply they ruined his picture like they did with briteny before.
but yes i like another scene , when he discover that the one who betrayed him is his friend. the look in Mel is great man.
i watched inception yesterday thought it was pretty good...
GodFather- Al Pachino is the best movie ever and never
Brave heart got good drama, nice action, some moments of laughter, good picture and the acting ain't bad. Hard to find all that in one movie.
i personally like good fellas a lot. Scorsese usually does it right, even with daniel day lewis in gangs of new york..
I don't like Mel Gibson too! He is racist and his movies are full of graphic violence! Apocalypto is horrible! I didn't finish the movie. So is 'Passion of the christ'
But he has a bright future if he enters the Porno film industry as a starcast, director, producer, camera guy, all packed in one.
Braveheart is a terrible movie, showing a fake picture of the world and showing the anti english of Mel Gibson, who is one of the biggest women haters and racists going.
Brave Heart
because it shows honesty in one man to seek for the righteousness without fear of being alone to achieve it and being ready to pay his life for it
i hate the "god father" because it teaches the cheating and deceiving and treating people lives like garbage.(i know its reality but i hate it)
