Sonatine 11378 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 In no particular order.... Blue Velvet, still my favourite David Lynch film. Watching Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth never gets old. Blade Runner. From the opening sequence flying over the city with all the fire shooting into the air, til the end with Rutger Hauers "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" speech. Still awesome now. The Outlaw Josey Wales. Clint at his best imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) I always get a hard on for Amelie. I could also have mentioned Amelie and Dr Strangelove, the Shining, 2001, The Kid, Rashomon.... Modern favourites is another interesting one...best 3 of the noughties...

Barney 0 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Back to the Future would be in there. Not sure why I love it so much, it's obviously a good film but there's something about the whole premise that makes me love it to bits. The third one is canny as well but the second one is a bit shite. Taxi Driver is up there as well. De Niro is unbelieveable in it, the scene at the presidential rally is one of my favourite scenes of any movie and the end sequence with the gunfight in the brothel is immense from the little conversation between him and Harvey Keitel to the ending. Love it. Great choices. Would both be in my favourites. I'd find it hard to narrow down, as there are so many films I love and love to watch dependin on my humour. Big Lebowski, Godfather 1 & 2, Goodfellas. I thought Magnolia as HF mentioned was amazing up until the end, I've only seen it once though. Spirited Away is also a favourite.

NJS 4386 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Dogma - good mixture of comedy, emotion, tastelessness, blasphemy and thought provocation Blade Runner - characters, style and intelligence. Grosse Point Blank - black humour and excellent story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Modern favourites is another interesting one...best 3 of the noughties... Battle Royale Moon City of God for me. I think, they just come straight to mind. No room for Lost in Translation, The Assassination of Jesse James, Amelie or Infernal Affairs, it would appear. I'm fond of In Bruges as well.

Jimbo 175 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 This is going to be difficult as there are about 15 movies in my top 3 lol Pulp Fiction I recall watching it for the first time, thinking to myself "what the fuck am I watching" and then that final scene just loops it all together so perfectly. The Empire Strikes Back The perfect dark and brooding sequel, the best of the series, and of course the fantastic revelation at the end. Apocalypto No movie has kept me on the edge of my seat as much as watching this for the first time, an unexpected gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
