That movie f'd me up after watching it... but I felt okay as this big burly guy sitting behind me was sobbing like baby Its an excellent movie!

 

[darthviper107]

Well, I'd have to say mine are;

1. Star Wars Saga
2. Serenity/Firefly
3. Lord of the Rings


It was difficult to put Serenity up there but since I've watched the TV show lately I've become a fan so things have changed. And of course Star Wars is a must just because we all know it is.

Some others that I've not seen mentioned above much:

Saving Private Ryan - WHAM! Hits you like a ton of bricks right from the start.

Gladiator

Braveheart

Rob Roy - I love this film, and Archibald/Tim Roth is absolutely fantastic as the villain.

Harry Potter films......These seem to get better with each new one released.

Amores Perros
Downfall
Very Long Engagment
21 Grams

[Bannister]

Ah, yes the Kurosawa Criterion Collections I wish i had the $$$ to get those. Nice set there Tom. Have u seen Rhapsody in August? There is no doubt that you would love Star wars because Kurosawa has a tremendous affect on Lucas's vision of filmmaking.

It's funny watching Hidden Fortress and seeing scenes that Lucas used in Star Wars like C-3po and R2 on Tatooine, plus all the similar editing techniques like the wipes.

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

[LOTRFan]

Ok, for impact and "watchability" I think I can come up with three, but for all-time faves or classics that is much harder.

1) LOTR - no matter when or where it's on, I can always seem to be in the mood to watch it

2) Star Wars OT - ditto

3) Braveheart, Gladiator, Princess Bride, The Three Amigos, Rocketman etc, etc

I am NOT saying that those are the "best" movies ever made; some are not even close , but I can always watch them.

As for "classics," well my tastes are more:

LOTR (again, it wins with me); Citizen Kane; Casablanca; The Longest Day; Saving Private Ryan; Lawrence of Arabia; Indiana Jones; Ben Hur; well and Rocketman ....

 

[ragacin]

Biggest Impact:

Star Wars IV
Highlander
The Usual Suspects

Over and Over (besides the above)

Superman
Pulp Fiction
Alien


How about listing 3 films you could NEVER EVER watch again? , or would that be a new thread?
