fav. movie?

[Simon Darkshade]

Maybe because he is strapping fascist skinhead who dislikes communism, has low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for dramatic exaggeration

 

[SuperR]

Taxi!!
Unfortunately it's in French but it can be found with sub titles.... it's produced by Luc Besson (fifth element), and it's damn good!

 

[animepornstar]

movies like taxi, ronin and gone in 60 sec are nothing compared to pascal's ride on la peripherique.

 

[stormerne]

These are the only movies I've seen in the last 40 or so years that I would voluntarily see again. I guess that makes them my favourites.

• Life of Brian
• Little Big Man

I've often thought about this, and I always feel bad about leaving some out. But, here are my top 5 with my favorite lines/scenes from them (probably not 100% accurate):

Field of Dreams
"Dad, you wanna have a catch?"

Caddy Shack
"I like you Betty."

A River Runs Through It
<The whole last scene with the old guy fishing in the river>

Dumb and Dumber
"We've got no food! We've got no jobs! Our pets' HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!"

Happy Gilmore
Shooter, "I eat pieces of s**t like you for breakfeast."
Happy, "You eat pieces of s**t for breakfeast?"
Shooter, "NO."

There are to many to list, however the following come to mind:


Life is Beautiful

Goodbye Mr Chipps

The full Monty

Last of the Mohicans

The Castle

Life of Brian

The Blues Brothers

There's many more I can't think of at the moment.

"Dad, I dug a hole!"
"Tell him he's dreamin'!"
