What a fun topic!
in no particular order... The Intouchables - I would like to dance like Omar Sy Amelie - and create mischief like she does Forbidden Planet - and have a robot Nacho Libre - and know characters as great as the extras Pride and Prejudice - and what girl doesn't love, love, love Mr. Darcy?

Oh, Wow, Littlepaw. Another Jane Austen fan!
Saturday Night Fever -- The 6:00 p.m. dinner scene early in the movie reminds me of my family. Raising Arizona -- Still a fun smart movie after all these years. Moonstruck -- Great writing with good actors. Witness -- The photography, the story line. . . Harrison Ford singing and dancing to "What a Wonderful World This Would Be." Pulp Fiction -- I saw this as a Christian parable. My sis can quote lines from this and other films of Q. Tarrantino. Pride and Prejudice -- Just as good as the book. Gatsby -- In many ways better than the book. The music by Jay-Z is superb. The Notebook -- Yes. I admit to being a Ryan Gosling fan. ------------ I liked Brokeback Mountain too. I watched it on television years after it hit the theaters. It has the devastating loneliness of writer Annie Proulx's other movie, The Shipping News except that The Shipping News ends with some happiness. I liked Any Given Sunday, especially for Al Pacino's lines like these "On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is - can you win or lose like a man?" and "You find out that life is just a game of inches. . . .The inches we need are everywhere around us." I went over my five. Sorry about that. M |

We get a lot of reruns of Forrest Gump on tv in our area. Life is like a box of chocolates ......
Here are two more that I really like: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre – a classic tale of friendship corrupted by greed, with Bogart turning out to be the bad guy in this one. Addams Family Values – a really creative comedy, with little Wednesday Addams having most of the good lines. |

Saving Private Ryan- good films cause you to feel, in my mind. When Oppum didn't save Melsch and he gets stabbed by that German soldier near the end I felt violent and betrayed.
It passed, and there were certaiy many other moving scenes in the film, but the rage I felt at that moment = gripping storytelling to me.

In no particular order, and solely based on the fact that I still watch them whenever they're on despite the fact that I've seen them a jillion times already.
Saving Private Ryan The Shawshank Redemption Good Will Hunting Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (original) Monty Python and the Holy Grail and I have break the rules and add ET as well. |

OMG! I watch Good Will Hunting every two or three years because of the dialogue.
Three favorite scenes: First One: They buy fast food and then stop the car to pick a fight in a playground. Casey Affleck: "We just seen the guy 15 minutes ago at the park. If we was gonna fight him, we should fight him then. We got snacks now. " Second One: Robin Williams and Matt Damon discuss in detail Game 6 of the 1975 World Series of the Red Sox vs the Cincinnati Reds, a game that neither one had seen. Williams had tickets but missed the game: Williams: "I just slid my ticket across the table, and I said, 'Sorry, guys; I gotta see about a girl.'" Third Scene: Heartbreaking when Matt Afleck convinces Matt Damon to leave town to follow his future: Matt Affleck: "Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way but, in 20 years if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house, watchin' the Patriots games, workin' construction, I'll kill ya." |

Room with a view
Favorite line.... Lucy Honeychurch: " Mother doesn't like me playing Beethoven. She says I'm always peevish afterwards." Heat Very violent, not my style but watching a young Al Pacino play detective against Robert Deniro running his last crime before leaving his criminal life....a Robert Mann film, is worth it Traffic Love Benicio Del Toro Things we lost in the fire ...another Benicio Del Toro film Out of Africa KnowNothingJon....Princess Bride is also one of my all time favorites...thought I was the only adult who liked that film. I stole Westley's line "as you wish" and annoyed my friends and coworkers for weeks! Great choices everyone....love this thread! D. |
