What can we say? It was a good movie.
Right on. I forgot to put this one, dont know why. I'm not usually a huge fan of Christian Bale, he's kind of like a slightly more talented, more intense Keanu Reeves in acting stylebut that movie was rich.
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
It just felt really thrown together, the plot wasn't as cohesive as I would have liked. Good concept, bad execution.What can we say? It was a good movie.
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,

Hah, I thought you may forgot it in your list because you mentioned before that you like it a lot.Right on. I forgot to put this one, dont know why. I'm not usually a huge fan of Christian Bale, he's kind of like a slightly more talented, more intense Keanu Reeves in acting styleI watched it in TV back then and I can say that this was the first movie I considered to be my absolute favourite. However, "Ultraviolet" (by Kurt Wimmer as well) sucked a lot imho, even if the plot was kinda similar.

same as previous $$$$
I dont have a special order, but in general I like "psychological stuff" (requiem for a dream somewhat, memento, pi, waking life...)
anticipation too (brazil)
Twelve Monkeys is probably the one ive see the most, its incredibely good. Scenary is somewhat conventionnal, but actor, decor and general ambience make all the movie.
Matrix was having a huge effect on me too, but now it tend to get me bored.

My favorite movies usually deal with the horror and essential indecency of humanity.
Favorites
Irreversible
A Clockwork orange
Enter the void
full metal jacket
The 400 blows
Im sure there are more. A lot of movies seem recycled and draw upon classic archetypes in a cliche manner.

In the following order:
1) The Crow - by usual standards far from the best here, but I loved it.
2) Fight Club
3) The Godfather I and II - so I can cheat, but they really are best watched in unison.
4) A Clockwork Orange
5) Gangs of New York
6) The Shawshank Redemption
7) V for Vendetta
8) The Lion King - because I needed an obligatory Disney film (most of which I love), this is my favorite, and childhood memories are fantastic.
9) Labyrinth - not Pan's, which I regrettably haven't seen but have heard amazing things about, just Labyrinth. The grand dish of scenery for David Bowie to chew on. It was campy brilliance.
10) American Psycho - it's not even that great a film, I just found the musical rants and sheer yuppie-ness, coupled with completely homicidal insanity, so entertaining to watch. The parallel of the psychopathic individual with a psychopathic society wasn't displayed as strongly as in the novel, sadly, but it was certainly there.

Definitely my honorary #11. In fact, it should probably be around where The Shawshank Redemption is on my list. I can't believe I forgot that movie.I loved it so much - it managed to be artsy and sweet at the same time. Plus, I could completely relate to the titular character - she was awesome.

How did I forget Amelie?!
So they're telling the story of how Spiderman became Spiderman before he became Spiderman?Just when you thought Hollywood couldn't get more unoriginal...
‪Amazing Spider-man trailer (Official)‬‏ - YouTube
They're completely restarting the whole Spiderman Saga from scratch, which is pretty stupid considering they just finished the last one like four years ago. I don't see how this could appeal to anyone over the age of 18.So they're telling the story of how Spiderman became Spiderman before he became Spiderman?

I don't have favorite movies. I wish I did. I have movies I really like and then I wonder if these movies are special enough to be my favorite movies. And I can't remember all of my "favorite movies" off the top of my head and so it's more likely that when I hear of the movie I'll think "I love that movie!" but then it turns out I only love it sometimes... for instance if I love the movie but I never feel like watching it then I don't know if I really love it anymore. And there are also the favorite movies that I've seen too many times and so they can't be my favorites anymore because I'm sick of them. There are also the movies I'm embarrassed about ever having called "my new favorite movie" that I don't like anymore and that I wouldn't want to admit to the horror of having watched it over and over. Then there are some of the beloved movies from childhood that I can't call favorite movies now but that hold a special place in my heart and I look back at them with fondness and nostalgia (but don't ever want to watch most of them because of my fear of getting bored). Some things are best left as memories.
Anyway my current "favorite movies" that I don't watch are Alien vs. Predator and Predators because I've suddenly become interested in the Predator movies (although the first two are too boring to watch... but I did at least watch Predator 2 and I've seen Predator not too long ago on TV and so I feel I know enough to compare the nature of the "Predators" between all of these movies... I also watched AVP2 which is a god-awful stupid movie but it was necessary to watch to continue my comparisons. My comparisons all center around my newfound fascination with the "Predator" aliens all based on the off-key notion in AVP that they were once worshipped as gods on Earth and so then I wondered if their hunting thing on Earth was the only way they know to form a relationship with humanity and I did find it interesting that they have no interest in conquering the Earth and seem to actually try to minimize their modern-day interference... and I like to think it's more than just preserving the Safari. Anyway I became highly curious about all of this, leading to my obsession with this, but unfortunately I'm growing tired of my obsession and will probably soon want a new obsession. I wish I could write stories about these things but I always feel blocked, or perhaps concerned I won't capture anything and so it won't seem real enough).
My other new favorite movie is Nightwish, a horrible Vidmark movie from the 90s because I miss the 90s and the crappy movies of those days and this one I feel captures a lot of the things I miss. I watched this movie because of my goal of watching all movies Brian Thompson was in because I love "Brian Thompson" since he played the Alien Bounty Hunter on X-Files. I also like comparing the sorts of roles Brian Thompson ends up in (like the asshole boyfriend, as he plays in Nightwish, although I don't really think he's really underneath it all an asshole).
Unfortunately I haven't slept enough all week and I can't for the life of me remember the movies I own.But neither of the above will be "favorite movies" for long and so if I could see my movie shelf I'd be able to identify the more continuous "favorites". If only I had internet at home again.
Well now I've went over other people's lists to jog myself from my daze (and I could also look at Netflix where I have rated all of my "favorites" if I get to it, and maybe I will because I'd like to be able to better categorize all of it), and made the following list:
For sure a favorite:
Terminator 2 (own) - I can't express the depths to which I love this movie
Possible favorites:
E.T. (own)
The 5th Element (own)
Serenity (own)
I Am Legend (don't own because I can't stand the dog dying and the main character's pain and it just kills me whenever I watch it)
(I love all of these a lot)
I love that movie:
Dances with Wolves
Jurassic Park
Leviathan (have seriously pondered buying)
Indiana Jones I-III (who doesn’t love them?)
A Streetcar Named Desire
Hancock
Last of the Mohicans
The Abyss
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (own)
Xena the Animated movie (I love Xena)
All the Aliens movies
I liked that movie:
Inception
District 9
MIB
That movie meant something to me:
Twelve Monkeys
Shawshank Redemption
What Dreams May Come
Oh a beloved childhood movie:
Gremlins
Not really a favorite anymore:
V for Vendetta (own)
(I'll fix my list later)

Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?
I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

I don't really have any fave movies per se, but I just recently watched People Places and Things and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
In Your Eyes was cute too... and Time Traveller's Wife made me cry (the book was 100x better). I guess I just really lowkey like romance movies, heh.
