For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie
What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?
People laugh when I tell them this but it's definitely Muppet Treasure Island. I love the muppets, I love the music, I love pirate movies, and Tim Curry. I could have just said Tim Curry and I feel like that would have been enough but it's really every aspect of the movie. It's PERFECT.
I like movies that explore the human condition and the facets of society.
Currenlty Magnolia is my #1.
Previously it was Fargo.
And before that, Meet the Feebles.
My comfort movies include A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, and the Naked Gun series. Also always really liked Moonrise Kingdom.
There Will Be Blood. Masterpiece.
Close second: No Country for Old Men
I couldn't choose just one, but 'Snatch', 'Baby Driver', 'Pulp Fiction', and 'Nobody' are all incredible.
Other notable mentions are 'Barbie', 'The Founder', 'The Green Mile', and 'Captain Phillips'. I still haven't watched Oppenheimer yet!
L.A. Confidential. Gripping moody story and you just have this sense that it's taking place at the cusp of a city becoming itself.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead - especially if you’re familiar with the plot of Hamlet. I love that the opening theme song (Seamus) is by Pink Floyd.
Fight club
My favorite all time is The Count of Monte Cristo, 2002. My Cousin Vinny is my favorite feel good movie.
I'll go with the movie I've rewatched the most in my life
Shaun of the Dead
I want to say The Matrix, but in all honesty it's Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.
The Conversation by Frances Ford Coppola. It's a low key but intense film with an incredible cast. There's something about the mood and that I love.
I'll watch it every few years at Christmas with my dad, which adds to the pleasure of seeing it.
Snatch! All-time #1! ...except for when Blade Runner is #1.
Other faves that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
This is hard for me to answer as I have a couple on the same tier. I’ll probably choose Sicario.
Hot Fuzz. I was thinking about how this movie is just edited/directed so perfectly. Not one second is wasted, so tightly packed. It's funny while taking the plotline very seriously.
Snatch is a damn good movie too, for a lot of the same reasons.
It never makes these lists unless I add it - The Fountain with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. Something about it just resonates with my soul.
The David Fincher masterpiece, Zodiac.....
Hard to choose one, so I'll list two: Live and Become, Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi.
The ending of Live and Become gives me chills and chokes me up to this day. SUCH a powerful movie!
Movie: Nausicaa
Movie series: Older Evil Dead / Army of Darkness
Director: Terry Gilliam
Genre: Cyberpunk (with the note that almost all modern cyberpunk is waterlogged garbage and I'm very disappointed)
Fight Club resonated so hard on me and my misfit pals when we saw it for the first time. Probably not my favourite film now, but that times where intense, so it always come to mind thinking about good films. Now it's maybe Blade Runner for totally different reasons, mostly superb aesthetic. I guess I chilled down quite a bit.
Star Wars. My highest-ranked movie that isn't usually on these lists is Stardust, at number 3, following The Matrix at number 2.
Drive, it's a movie where the cinematography told more of a story than the dialogue between the characters. The dialogue does matter, sure, but we're shown the story as opposed to being told the story.
If you need proof, the first scene is one of the best vehicle chases ever. Plus, the elevator scene gives me chills every time.
Terminator 2
