Sh*t, I forgot Star Wars. That was my favourite when I was a kid (the old ones).

I remember the first time I watched Episode V. The Imperial Fleet scene was probably the most epic scene I've ever watched.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

TG, TBATU really is probably the coolest movie ever. All of the three main characters are portrayed pitch-perfectly.

The Thing, Zombie 2, La Chinoise (a great movie by Godard about a group of Maoists in France during 1968), and An American Werewolf in London.

Seriously guys, watch Tommy Wiseau's The Room. It is so bad that it's actually almost genius. I don't think you could make a movie this bad on purpose. It's possibly the best movie to watch with a bunch of friends and a load of beer. The acting is beyond crap, the dialogue makes little sense, there's loads of unresolved plot lines and a very, very, very subtle Chekov's Gun. Tommy Wiseau's delivery is just insanely bad. Just watch it guys.

Haha. The funniest thing I found about it is that Tommy Wiseau tried to make a serious drama but once he heard the reviews, he changed his mind and decided to describe it as a comedy. What balls!

And this was re-dubbed in editing! That means he sat down with an editor, a sound recordist and a few assistants and re-recorded those lines for better sound quality. all those people yet they decided to keep it in! Everyone there must have suppressed a laugh.

I can't watch too much of The Room because it makes my head hurt if I do. It's good in only small doses...there's no way that I could watch the whole thing straight through at this point.
