You're kidding me.

1. Revenger's Tragedy
2. Wicker Man
3. Brazil
4. Network

Full Metal Jacket is very good, almost all the films Stan Kubrick and G Del T have ever made are what i would class as 'fucking awsome'

[MarxSchmarx]

5. Fight club
4. Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Ware Rabbit
3. Memento
2. Blues Brothers.
1. Godfather pt. 1

Each of these movies are better every time I watch them.

[Fawkes]

Independent film is far better than Hollywood films. It's about on par with foreign films. I'm really into Serbian film right now, and they should have some good ones playing at the San Francisco film festival.

- Indirect quote from Stuff White People Like

Anyway, to answer the question:
A Clockwork Orange

[Celtic Leftist]

Hmm, hard to choose between some of them. Off the top of my head:

1)La Haine
2)The Godfather trilogy
3)The Lives of Others
4)The Wind That Shakes The Barley
5)Pulp Fiction

Still trying to source "Some Mothers Son" and "H3", they might make that list alongside "Land and Freedom" when I watch it again (loved it first time round, just can't remember it too well), same goes for "Europa Europa" as well I 'spose. Arghh, so many films...

[maverick]

1. Apocalypse Now
2. Fight Club
2. Star Wars IV, V, VI
3. Casino
3. Goodfellas
4. Full Metal Jacket
4. Platoon
5. Godfather trilogy
5. LOTOR trilogy

something close to that.

[Anarch_Mesa]

2. Amateur porn

...


1. Rocky Horror Picture Show
2. The Princess Bride
3. Clerks/Clerks II
4. Hotel Rwanda
5. Hotel Paradise

Rocky Horror Picture Show is good.


1. La Haine
2. Green Street Hooligans
3. Scarface
4. The Message
5. Potemkin or The Mark of Zorro (1920 version)

Not bad scarface is a good movie but it has become a cliche


1)La Haine
2)The Godfather trilogy
3)The Lives of Others
4)The Wind That Shakes The Barley
5)Pulp Fiction

Godfather is incredible I agree, and so is Pulp Fiction.


1. Apocalypse Now
2. Fight Club
2. Star Wars IV, V, VI
3. Casino
3. Goodfellas
4. Full Metal Jacket
4. Platoon
5. Godfather trilogy

Triumph of the Will
How Green Was My Valley

[Anarch_Mesa]

Another five (just to show my age):

The Trial
Pather Panchali
If...
Triumph of the Will
How Green Was My Valley


I'm going to be honest I have only heard of one of those movies.

[Pirate Utopian]

Triumph Of The Will? wtf?

[Mujer Libre]

Ah, I really should watch Pather Panchali. To be honest, I'd have to go and give this a lot more thought if I was to come up with a list. Bbl I guess.

[beaslythebeast]

1.Fight Club
2.Pulp Fiction
3.A Clockwork Orange
4.V for Vendetta

[Mala Tha Testa]

1. Full Metal Jacket
2. Dr. Strangelove
3. Enemy At The Gates
4. Behind Enemy Lines
5. The Godfather(only the first one, the others are good, but not as good as the first one)

[trivas7]

1.Fight Club
2.Pulp Fiction
3.A Clockwork Orange
4.V for Vendetta
5.The Machinist

Mmm, unmitigated violence seems to be the common link, no? :confused:

[hunterkyrie]

My favorite movies change so much. It's difficult for me to make a list for the top 5 or even a top ten. But...I can try.

1. The Professional
2. Amelie
3. American Beauty
4. Nausicaa
5. Au Revoir Les Enfants

I'm unsure about all of them except the first. The Professional will always be number one. I just have such an eclectic taste. I love foreign movies, black and whites, classics. I don't really watch any new Hollywood films. I see them as rewarmed and uncreative. The quality has really gone down over the past 10 years.

[Anarch_Mesa]

All of those movies he listed are amazing. Everything from filmwork to originality.

The Profesional is the only film here I haven't heard of. Who's in it/ why did you like it? A fine showing of film art, nonetheless.

[Pawn Power]

Another five (just to show my age):

The Trial
Pather Panchali
If...
Triumph of the Will
How Green Was My Valley

Both "If..." and "How Green Was My Valley" are tremendous, though vastly different. Both would be in my top ten or twenty.

[trivas7]

Both "If..." and "How Green Was My Valley" are tremendous, though vastly different. Both would be in my top ten or twenty.
Then I would urge you to rent Pather Panchali if you liked these.

Another film I forgot to mention that blew me away -- unlike anything I have ever seen -- Forest of Bliss.


Forest of Bliss is a 99-minute documentary devoid of English dialogue, subtitles or voice-over, with no narration or explanation. Nominally an ethnographic study of funerary practices in Benares, it straddles ethnography, cinema vérité and experimental filmmaking; think Godfrey Reggio without the gag-reflex. Exquisitely photographed without lapsing into sententiousness, precisely constructed but never stiff, Forest of Bliss captures the mystery and beauty of its subjects and their lives, without abstracting or sentimentalizing them. One imagines it as the sort of film that Levi-Strauss (or Bataille) might have made.

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056300/?fr=PWdvfHNjPTF8bG09NTAwfGZiPXV8eD0wfHR0PTF8bXg9Mj B8eT0wfGh0bWw9MXxjaD0xfGNvPTF8cG49MHxmdD0xfGt3PTF8 c2l0ZT1kZnxxPU9jY3VyZW5jZSBhdCBPd2wgQ3JlZWsgQnJpZG dlfG5tPTE_;fc=1;ft=3) also had a big impact on me.

[berlitz23]

No it's a french film that was released in 1973, and it's about a post-1968 bachelor who lives a mere existence I would say an "everyday" existence where he's in a dilemma between two women. It's a fantastic film and difficult to obtain, I highly recommend the film I think it's circulating on Youtube. In regards to Brecht, I only know Mother Courage, Galielo, The Mother perhaps you're referring to that play.

(I'm sure you are kidding)

Well, to be fair i am a bit of a Beatles fanatic. I don't know why but this is my all-time favorite film, probably because the laws of cinema continuity don't apply in it. And the songs are good aswell.

Haha, I don't suppose your done watching the whole thing yet?

[ev]

Unfortunately I found V for Vendetta to be rather pseudo philosophical and me thinks Heath Ledgers performance to be 'overrated' in the Dark Knight, to me 'The Dark Knight' was about as good as the 1989 Batman with Jack Nicholson. Some of you may agree to this assertion.

As for my favorite films... shit, it all depends on what each individual has seen really, It's difficult to say which film is my favorite because each is my favorite for different reasons. But here goes (in no particular order):

(some James Bond Films like The Spy Who Loved Me)
Enemy at the Gates
LOTR trilogy
Casablanca
Щит и мечБелое солнце пустыни
Броненосец Потёмкин
Gone with the Wind
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Doctor Zhivago
Служебный роман
Баллада о солдате
Fight Club

Among others, but i do looove romantic films :blushing:
I would recommend these films to anyone who want's to experience something great. If you know Russian you have GOT to check those movies out.
