I do like so many titles, but I think my favourite is probably Dr. Zhivago. I saw it in the cinema as a young teen and was quite captivated by it. Also sneaked in to see Psycho in the cinema at age 9, and that was extremely exciting, as it was the first time no one was allowed in after the film started. For those of you too young to recall, movies used to run constantly, several showings, one after the other, and it was not uncommon for people to come and go in the middle of a film. If you came in the middle, you simply stayed for the next showing to catch the beginning. But Psycho changed all that, with its surprise ending. Really I like Hitchcock films in general, Stanley Kubrick as well, especially his older films, such as Lolita and Clockwork Orange. The Great Santini, late 70s I believe and starring Robert Duvall, is a very good movie, especially if you come from a military family.

Its so hard to pick a favorite. I guess the one film I've been rewatching (that's how I know its one of my favs) is Pride & Prejudice. This is going to sound corny but watching it has a theraputic affect (effect?) on me. The music, set design, and cinematography made for a beautiful film. Every frame of this film looks like a painting. I barely pay attention to what the characters are saying half the time because I'm to busy enjoying the beauty. When I have a migraine I take 2 Aleve, put the film in the dvd player, and take to my bed until the headache passes.:sleep:

My favorites are:

A little mermaid
Cinderella
A Beautiful mind
Gladiator
The Notebook coz I cry so much
Zoolander
All the Adam Sandler and Jim Carey Movies
The man on the moon was fantastic!!! Jim Carey plays Andy Cauffman to a T.
And The Trueman Show was great.

I love 'em all as long as they are feel good and as long as they aren't boring or tooooo scarey like supernatural cant stand supernatural.

As long as they are good enough to keep my interest.

Can't do the blood and guts movies anymore. I like 30's and 40's movies (esp. The Thin Man movies) If youv'e never seen a Thin Man movie rent one on a rainy day, you'll be hooked forever. Any Mel Brooks, Monty Python, Bean, Adam Sandler ("You can do it"!!!), Jim Carey. I know there's lots more but I can't think of um ("Hello, McFly") right now.

I watched Wart Hogs last night. A very lighthearted movie. Pretty good.

And The Departed is excellent

The first movie I could think of was blazin saddles with mel brooks playing the chief. Considering the movie was a blast at racism, its kinda ironic that he was blind to his own stereotyping of the red indian. And speaking of indians my favorite movie is Fitzcarraldo the movie that inspired Apopalypse now.

I think my most favourite movie ever is Clockwork Orange. I like the story but as an artist I also just really like the design of the movie and the camera angles. I'd like to make a comic out of it actually. I've drawn lots of sketches of various scenes in the movie. Many of Stanley Kubrick's movies intrigue me for the camera angles.

I also like Kill Bill Vol. I & II, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the original Star Wars trilogy, Phantasm, Mad Max, Braveheart, Batman Begins, many more. I like a lot of film festival movies as well but I can't remember the titles now. The last movie I saw that I liked was He Died With A Falafel In His Hand. It was really weird but good.
