Top 3 Favorite Movies

The Silence of the Lambs
The Matrix
Good Will Hunting

They all are totally awesome movies to me.

1) Mulholland Drive - the atmosphere, sound design, story and what the overall mind-fuck it is, I love the big revelation and that dinner scene that is a complete nightmare for everyone with social anxiety
2) Love Exposure - I love the ideas in it, it's so provocative and hilarious, it made me laugh so hard the first time I've seen it
3) MirrorMask - soundtrack, mis-en-scene, how it's more like an artwork than a movie thanks to its visual style

Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs

How to Train Your Dragon

2001 A Space Odyssey
Martyrs
The Fifth Element

They represent my three favorite aspects of cinema I guess

The Cowboys

Top gun(s)

Heat ( in spite of the disgusting DeNiro) its the best cop and robber movie ever made. Great cast and writing.

There are too many so I’ll recommend two of my favorites I recently saw for the first time.

"Wages Of Sin" A mid 1950's French film about four way down on their luck men, desperate to leave a poverish life.

"Sorcerer" is a remake of the above set in a different country. One of the best movies of the 70's

The Godfather 2, The Firm. Top Gun, Maybe My Cousin Vinny

Casablanca

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

A Christmas Carol - the Alastair Sim one

I'm still not tired of watching these three so that must count for something.

only 3? i'll say: hunt for red october, the martian, and oceans 11

Martyrs (2008) - A cornerstone of New French Extremity. It starts as a brutal revenge thriller and turns into a bleak, philosophical exploration of suffering. A secret society tortures people to the absolute limit to see if they can reach a state of "martyrdom" and glimpse the afterlife. It is relentlessly heavy.

American Psycho (2000) - A pitch-black satire of 1980s Wall Street yuppie culture and toxic masculinity.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980) - The grandfather of the found-footage genre. It's infamous because it looked so real the director actually had to go to court and prove his actors were still alive.

The most important thing in rating a movie to me is the acting. Second is story telling. The least important is a message. I can usually get a message in a paragraph or two.

1. The Godfather..great acting across the entire cast.

2. Inglorious Bastards..Christopher Waltz delivered one of the most underrated performances of all time.

4. The Ten Commandments..'56 version. There is not a religious bone in my body. But I'm always intrigued by the over the top acting style. The director displayed real genius making this movie.

Tomorrow I may have a different three at the top.

Nice...

Mine'll have...let's see..

1 - 'The Empire Strikes Back' - The BEST 'Star Wars' movie, period. Great story arc, wonderful locations as well. Well made.

2 - 'Witness' - The Harrison Ford/Kelly McGillis movie, based in the Amish community. Wonderfully shot. Just a brilliant drama/action movie.

3 - 'La Femme Nikita' - Wonderful French language movie...not the TV thingy....of a convicted criminal given a new life and training as a professional hit-person.
