Springing off of Hooker's movie review thread, I thought I would post this thread up to get your input on some of your favorite movies of all-time. I'm on break from school right now up until Jan. 18th and I don't have anything to do during the day but watch movies. I'm starting to run out of ideas of what to watch . Hopefully I'll get some good ideas from all of ya.
Oh I've got way to many to list, but here are a few of my all-time favorites. Old School Snatch The Goonies Super Troopers The Godfather (Part 1 and 2 only) In Bruges The Shawshank Redemption And uh...so many more What kind of movies to you like?
Godfather 1 & 2 Tombstone Goodfellas Silence of the Lambs Alien Aliens Braveheart Training Day The Lord of the Rings Trilogy The Matrix Batman Begins The Dark Knight Old School Dumb and Dumber The Usual Suspects (oh oh almost forgot this one!) and on and on... (I liked the way Hooker listed his better so I edited. :D)
I'm open to all kinds of movies really. I like action, comedy, Drama, Thriller/Horror, Suspense, some Sci-fi. Just to give you an idea, some of my favorites are American History X, Almost Famous, Harry Potter series, Blow, A Beautiful Mind, Men of Honor, Behind Enemy Lines, LOTR series, Gladiator etc. I'm pretty diverse in what I like, and I'll usually give anything a chance so long as it doesn't bore me to death in the first half-an-hour or so.
