Favorite movie...EVER!

Aliens - Theatrical release (best sequel EVER) The directions cut was stupid and James Cameron had it right with the original release. 17 minutes of crap, I tell you.

The Usual Suspects - I did not see that coming. Youre lying if you did! Who is Keyzer Soze?

Clue - Based on the mystery game. Who killed Mr. Boddy?

Event Horizon - I have no idea why I love scary movies. I totally watch them thru my fingers.

The Ring - I can't even let this run in the background while i'm on the computer. I get the heebie jeebies every time I watch it and I've only sat down to watch it fully twice. Its the bits and pieces that you catch on hbo that scare the hell out of me!

Stir of Echos - Saw it fully twice. That's it. LOVE IT, but can't watch it again. :-o

Newer movies have been ok...Resident Evil, Aliens 4 but I tend to watch the old ones over and over again. =)

Fight Club
Seven
Braveheart
LoTR trilogy
The Matrix
Sin City
The Princess Bride
Original Star Wars Trilogy (Ep. 3 gets honorable mention for being semi-OK)

Stranger than Fiction - Wil Ferrel does such a great job as Harold Crick. Plus I love Emma Thompson and her sense of humor (and accent).

1. Willow
2. Braveheart
3. Princess Bride
4. Harry Potter
5. just about any movie with Kira Knightly in it (I've got way too many to name!)

and of course my newest obsession, Twilight
Miralyssa Viamorte 13 years ago
True Romance

I feel like that movie had everything in it. if you haven't seen it, you are missing out. Written by Tarantino.
Miralyssa Viamorte 13 years ago
now a list of movies I could watch over and over again:

Heathers
Pump up the Volume (its not my fault Christian Slater made amazing movies EARLY in his career)
Clerks
Bullet (Rourke not McQueen)
Fist of Legend (Jet Li's best imo)
Rock'n'Rolla (Guy Ritchie's best)
12 Monkeys
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction (again, I can't help it that Tarantino made awesome movies - I am NOT a fanboy)

And Donnie Darko is probably the 2nd best movie of all time
Kelefane 13 years ago
Donnie Darko was a trip. I was hella disappointed in part 2 though.

I actually liked Clerks 2 better than 1 =p but both are excellent!

Braveheart has to be up there IMO. I love that movie.
Miralyssa Viamorte 13 years ago
I turned off part 2 about 5 minutes into it (Donnie Darko).

Clerks 2 was bleh compared to the original imo, not a bad movie, I like the girl in it.

The entire flow of Clerks, the dialogue, the cast, the characters makes it probably #3 all time for me.
