Favourite Films/Movies?

Leon Charmant · Apr 28, 2013

I was searching RD for a movie thread, but can't seem to find one (point me to it if I'm wrong). I'm sure plenty of people are looking for new and awesome movies.

So.. what are your favourite movies? Give reasons as to why your favourite films are worth a watch!

Here's my list from best to a-little-less-good-but-still-very-good:

1. Into The Wild
2. American Beauty
3. SLC Punk!
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Donnie Darko
6. Pulp Fiction
7. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
8. The Lovely Bones
11. Little Children
10. Requiem For A Dream
11. Goodfellas
12. The Kids Are All Right
13. The Chumscrubber
14. God Bless America
15. Trainspotting

Bonus: the Senna movie is one of my favourites as well, but it's more of a documentary so I didn't include it above.

To sum it up:

Into The Wild is my favourite movie of all time (until I find a better one), because the beautiful music, story and locations really touched me like nothing else. The atmosphere in American Beauty is all-round fantastic. Although most of you won't have heard of SLC Punk!, it's a funny yet compelling story about two punkers whose lives go terribly wrong which is definitely worth a watch. Reservoir Dogs is bad-ass and funny and the rest, well... everything is worth watching in my opinion.

Judging from this list, what movies would you suggest I should watch?

Shane Butler · Apr 30, 2013

Lots of my favourite's have already been said above, but I would add "Inception" to that list. My favourite ever movie though, is "The Evil Dead" from 1981. It's terrible acting and glaring mistakes make it absolutely hilarious, but it's quite scary at the same time!

Miguel Gonzalez · Apr 30, 2013

Have you seen the remake Shane? I found it on a stream site and saved it for another time but the production values and acting were good up till I stopped. I love the evil dead too lol See this? THIS is my BOOMSTICK!

I didn't see it yet, but I actually heard that it was quite dissapointing. They will never make as good a movie as the original though

And here is the full movie of the evil dead if anyone wants to see it.

I've not seen any of the movies you've listed, except for The Shawshank Redemption and Avatar. Yesterday evening I saw Forrest Gump for the first time, excellent film

Hampus Andersson · May 19, 2013

Best movies i´ve seen are these, (alot of other movies comes close but the standouts are these)

Green Mile
Scarface
Fight Club
Snatch - probably Brad Pitts best role ever,
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,
Inception
District 9 (f´n loved the main character)
Pan´s Labyrinth.
Wall-E
Life of Pi

And almost anything Luc Besson has produced/written.
Leon
Fifth Element
The Big Blue
Danny The Dog

Haven´t seen any movie yet on Cinema this year. Lots of crap like the "Pacific Rim" or some other money-film they pump out these days.

But saw Hobbit and Life of Pi and liked both but Life of Pi was something special for sure.

Edit: and a small shoutout to mr. Tarantino. Brilliant movies. Kill Bill, Django, Inglorious Basterds.
