What is your favorite move?

[DanL53]

Feel free to make a list.

My number one is "Modern Times" with Charlie Chaplin

I don't claim to be a film critic. Just know what I like. But some others would include:

"Million Dollar Legs", with WC Fields
"Duck Soup", With the Marx Brothers, "Horse Feathers" with the same could be substituted.
"The Longest Day", with too many to count.
"Jeremiah Johnson", with Robert Redford
"Caddy Shack"
"Animal House"
"High Plains Drifter"
"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World", with everybody.
"Raiders of the Lost Arc"

That's ten, would probably all be in my top 25 if I tried hard to think of others.

The best move to make in your career:

To climb the corporate ladder one rung at a time, and
not step on anybody else on the way up.

This raises the age-old question of defining your terms.

Best movie I've ever seen is "Citizen Kane." But if you told me I could only watch 100 movies for the rest of my life, it probably wouldn't be one of the 100.

Let's say I'm stranded on a desert island for the rest of my life with a DVD player and one DVD. What movie do I pick?

Probably "Shane." It's the best western movie ever made, and it's a movie you can watch over and over and over again and always get something new out of it.

A close second would be "Miracle on 34th Street" because it gives the viewer such a wonderfully warm, hopeful feeling and also is extremely well-acted and funny.

Of course, that's assuming there is no DVD titled "How to make a seaworthy boat out of sand."

 

[bagdropper]

Hmm...the contenders would be:

The Ten Commandments (Heston version)
The Big Sleep (Bogart version)
Battleground
They Were Expendable
Das Boot (original US theatrical release...shorter, better voice-overs)
Fail-Safe (Fonda version)
Once Upon a Time in the West
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
My Name is Nobody
True Romance
Pulp Fiction
North By Northwest
Operation Petticoat

I find it almost impossible to narrow it down farther than that.

 

[longliveCS40]

Goodfellas
Shawshank Redemption
Jaws
Good Will Hunting

Know it isn't a movie but Band of Brothers

 

[hooper56]

The Outlaw Josie Wales

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

This thread is producing some very odd lists of favorite movies.

Usually I see LOT of top movies mentioned by HROTers. This time not so much. Some perfectly good movies. Top 50 or top 100 movies. But no great movies.

Maybe it's the difference between "favorite movie" and "best movie you ever watched". Like the difference between a broad that's great in the sack, or just great looking.

Example, purely imagination of course. Mae West or Raquel Welch?

I'm betting dollars to dimes Mae West sends the guys (all the guys) over on DDay ready to kill for the lady back home. Welch, she's the girl they pin up so nobody smirks at the slightly pudgy belly of the girl they left behind.

 

[THE_DEVIL]

Favorite movie....Hunt for Red October

Favorite move...I call it the Russian Roulette

Slip off the clothes and saddle up to MRS_THE_DEVIL(no pic) from behind while she is sleeping on her side in the morning. I either get lucky or an elbow in the face. You never know which you are going to get.

Yep. That's the way I roll.

These are some of my favorite movies just off the top of my head. Perhaps not the "best" movies, but I'm a fan of the Dead Kennedys and I don't think anybody would classify them as a 'great' band.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark"
"The Breakfast Club"
"The Sting"
"The Grapes of Wrath"
"Star Wars"
"Back to the Future"
"The Blues Brothers"
"Fargo"
"Tootsie"
"Soapdish"
