Favourite Movie
 
My favourite movie is True Romance. If you have not seen it dump it into the top of your netflix/blockbuster que today!!! Everybody and thier mother is in it. Quentin Tarrantino wrote the script...People study this film in film school.

The Blues Brothers.

Directed by John Landis, a cast including John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Carrie Fisher, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway, John Lee Hooker, Lou Marini, Matt Guitar Murphy, Tom Bones Malone, Steve Cropper, Donald Duck Dunn, Alan Rubin. If you don't know all of these names, look them up. Cropper cowrote sitting on the dock with Otis Redding, in the midnight hour with Wilson Pickett, etc. and is considered by many the best living blues guitarist. Apparently the Beatles wanted to come to record Revolver with him but were talked out of it by Epstein.

"Play it, Steve".

Duck often smokes a pipe while playing.

This is the movie film students go to watch when they want a break from studying films and just want a good laugh and to listen to good music.

I first liked it because of the reference to my hometown. Then then I listened to the movie. All-time fave.

Made my girls watch it with me one day and during "Shake Your Tailfeather" they said, "OOH, it's the Cheetah Girl's song...":bh

I used to hear this a lot, resulting in one my nicknames being Goonie.

I think Conan the Barbarian is an amazingly well made movie that is overlooked. If you actually watch the movie (and not the for-tv-edit) you realize how un-campy it is. The set designs are amazing and Basil Poledouris turned in one of the best original scores ever heard. There isn't even that much violence for most of the movie--it isn't nearly as mindless as a lot of people believe. The sequel and all the sword & sandal movies it inspired are nowhere near as good (but Destroyer isn't actually that bad).

Blade Runner's another brilliant movie.

If you like well done action, check out Brotherhood of the Wolf. If nothing else, Monica Belucci gets naked.

I have quite a few and it would be tough to narrow it down to just one since my mood influences what I want to watch. Having said that here are some of my all time favorites.

These are in no special order just as I think of them one by one.

V for Vendetta
Night on Earth ~ if you haven't seen this one I highly recomend it.
The Exorcist
Emprie Strikes Back

Oh and also Brokeback Mountain, lulz just kidding.

Cheers,
Rob

Conan the Barbarian was a decent film, but it was definitely NOT the same Conan the Barbarian from the novels and comics.

My favorite movie is Van Wilder. It's always a great movie to watch if I'm really sad because I know I can always get a good laugh from the final scene "I'm bleeding".

Re: Favourite Movie
 
To many to name one but I guess that I own all Star Wars, Star Trek and Lord of the Rings (4 disc set on these 3) tells what types I am partial too.
