Haven't done this in a while: favorite movie -other than LotR I assume- and why? Starting this topic makes me think about my own favorites, but that ain't easy. I make a list of movies:
The Usual Suspects: beautiful movie, with lots of unexpected things in it
The Shawshank Redemption: well acted movie, with one of my favorite actors: Morgan Freeman
The Dark Knight: what can I say?
Lost in Translation: Scarlett johanson =D> and great acting about ordinary people
StarWars: :uh-huh:
Das Leben der Anderen: intens movie about making choices and not knowing what to choose
Arrghh, where did I get myself into? ](*,)

well done!

Agree with all those except the foreign one (haven't seen) and Lost in Translation which has to be the dullest film I have ever seen in my life. Best film I saw recently has to be Slumdog Millionaire, absolutely brilliant.
-
The Godfather, The Dark Knight, Kingdom of Heaven, The Sixth Sense.

Go and see Das Leben der Anderen, really awesome. And I can imagine people think that Lost in Translation is a dull movie. Not much is happening, but I was touched by the acting performance...
And AP, come on, Kingdom of Heaven? Please entlighten me, for maybe I'm blind. Sixt Sense, funny story. I was in a so called service cinema, where you can order drinks during the movie. I was ordering something when: SPOILER ALERT!!!!
Bruce was gunned, so at the end I was like: huh is he dead?
-

-

Mindhunters

SPOILER ALERT: Yeah, he's dead. That's the whole twist. Osment sees dead people. No one else interacts with Willis for the entire film. It all makes sense.
Kingdom of Heaven was good because it was surprisingly historically accurate, had a great score, had a great cast who performed very well, a great director, and overall a very well made and entertaining film.
-
Get Smart was funny, have you seen the original tv show SoP?
-
Seven Pounds, Gladiator, Lion King.
-
except LOTR?
Lion King
Gladiator
Eastern promises (Viggo Mortensen)
The Dark Knight
Get smart - was ok
-
Crank
Sin City
James Bond movies
Borat
V for Vendetta
and finally, clap with your hands as loud as you can: Lord of the Weed \:D/
...some other movies for sure, too.

Really? I mean, I haven't seen it, but from what I had read about it (which was written, BTW, mostly by various historians....) it wasn't historically accurate at all.
Could just be that the reviews I read were overly critical, I dunno.
Batman Begins & Dark Knight
LotR
WALL-E (so what if it's a kids movie? It's still freaking brilliant!)
Iron Man
Cinderella Man
....was I the only one who actually thought Australia was really good?
And did anyone see Outlander? I heard about it right before it left theaters about a week ago, and I never got to see it! Sounded like the greatest B-grade movie ever!
-
ooh, a movie topic!
Aviator: Cate Blanchett
The Gift: Cate Blanchett
Bandits: Cate Blanchett
Elizabeth: Cate Blanchett
The missing: Cate Blanchett
The Lord of the Rings: Cate Blanchett, Liv Tyler
Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Cate Blanchett
Mononoke Hime (Sorry, no Cate this time :'( )
-
Star Wars (All 6 of them, definitely classics.)
The Lord of the Rings (All 3, though TTT was changed too much)
Indiana Jones (1 & 3, 2 was a little lame in parts; haven't see 4 yet)
Pirates of the Caribbean (All 3, though the 2nd was a bit slow)
Patton (Greatest war movie ever)
The Battle of Britain (Second greatest war movie)
Tora, Tora, Tora! (Pure WW2 awesomeness)
Iron Man (Great movie, though I didn't like the anti-war propaganda)
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (Great movie.)
The Matrix (Only the 1st, kind of weird, but awesome once you figure out what's happening.)
The Mummy (Awesome movie. Good mix of story, action, and horror.)
-
You all liked Iron Man? Interesting, I thought it was quite slow and boring.
-

Indiana Jones (1 & 3, 2 was a little lame in parts; haven't see 4 yet)
Don't see the 4th, it's a mess of a movie. It shouldn't have been made imo.
-
V for Vendetta
Yeah! Forgot....(just look at my profile ;) )
-
Q for Quincy.

I've heard both. It's not 100% accurate (what movie is?) but it's truer to the tale than most.

not really, they completely reversed the girl's character from real life to the movie. and the only reason for it was so that she could have sex with orlando bloom. lame.
-
Allthough I liked the scene where Liam Neeson hits Orlando -somehow that can't be done enough- the whole story was totally unbelieveble. 1 guy saves the day, not an ordinary guy...well actually the most ordinary of all. That is cool, when you have a superhero movie, not when you try to make an historic and epic movie....I guess
-
Especially as he defeats Saladin, one of the greatest leaders of the Islamic armies during the Crusades... ludicrous!
-
I have to say, that the whole story is very complicated in history. A lot of contigents appear and dissappear. Besides the great crusades, their were a great number of other wars during 2 centuries. Even the first one can be divided in three main parts - so, which history would you like to hear? Do not forget that all decisions are influenced by each other. You can hardly decide to show just a little part of this topic.
People get involved in more fates, then a movie can show in such a short time. I think the movie shows some problems and some facts. The remaining part is movie additional.

I think people have kind of overeacted in their criticism of Indy 4. Although I wasn't all that keen on the ending I found the rest of it to be good old traditional Indy fare. I thought it was really entertaining. People have gone over the top in how bad they say it is.
-
well in one and 3 we have angelic forces and such, invisible bridges, in the second one we have demonic forces, so alien forces seemed to be the logical next step.

I found the movie to be corny and unbelievable. The others had some feeling of realism to them, this just felt...rushed and badly done. The only character I liked was Indy and his son, the rest were just too plastic, even Cate blanchett.
-
Agreed. IV was disappointing.
-
So I shall not watch the 4th movie of Indiana Jones? I liked to first three?
-
If you liked the first three is for you to decide.
-
I liked to first three?
:o I do not know what this should mean :-k. Sorry :-[. I tried to say, that I like the first three movies.
-

Up to you if you want to see it. It's not something I plan on renting again anytime soon, nor will it be in my movie collection.
-
don't take the 4th too seriously. its pretty much just for kicks and giggles. i really laughed through the whole thing pretty much.
