Your Favorite Movies

[PixieStix]

I have a ton of movies I love and 2 tons I dislike

But my favorite?

Watchmen

I really like Rorschach because he stays true to his beliefs all the way to the end. It is a complex story. But also shows how humanity, even our super heroes can be twisted

Great storyline. I highly recommend this movie

`The Count of Monte Cristo` 2002`...A story of revenge....

`This is one of my all time favorite movies...A man falsely imprisoned by "friends" escapes and is out for revenge. The film is the adaptation of the bestseller book of the same name by Alexandre Dumas`

Plot Summary:

`Dantes, a sailor who is falsely accused of treason by his best friend Fernand, who wants Dantes' girlfriend Mercedes for himself. Dantes is imprisoned on the island prison of Chateau d'If for 13 years, where he plots revenge against those who betrayed him.

`With the help of another prisoner, he escapes the island and proceeds to transform himself into the wealthy Count of Monte Cristo as part of his plan to exact revenge.....Dantes befriends a fellow prisoner named Abbe Faria (Harris), who is a great scholar and who, very gradually, transforms the unworldly Dantes into a wise, learned and cultivated man. Faria is an old man, however, and when he comes to realize that he is fatally ill, he tells Dantes of a great treasure and where it is buried.


*Full Movie....a must see if one has not seen it...

Own it... ^


Probably in the next five I thought of, though not necessarily the best version. I do like Caviezel.

This by far is my favorite funny movie

Death at a Funeral

I love this movie. The mere thought of it makes me laugh out loud The American version totally sucked, maybe it was because they plagiarized the original, plus the acting was awful
If you want to laugh watch this movie

Blazing Saddles. The greatest movie of all time.

I am not much into serious drama. I don't enjoy a good action movie. My favorites in that category are Soylent Green, Omega Man and Escape From New York.

I enjoy watching bad movies, whether they be intentional or not. Every holiday season, my sister and I watch Santa Claus Conquers The Martians. It's so horrible that it is entertaining.
If you want to laugh, you need to see Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Also the original Airplane, A Dirty Shame and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I also hold a special fondness for I Spit On Your Grave. Which is simply the greatest revenge movie of all time.

The many incarnations of Omega Man:











And made for TV in 2007 (the same year Will Smith's version was released... coincidence? I think not...)





Now I hear they are planning a reboot of I Am Legend... Rumor has it, it will focus on the plague that started the whole thing. A prequel of sorts I suppose. Then again, they cold always go the way of the new Planet of the Apes movies and try to generate series of films.


For a real treat, read Richard Matheson's original story upon witch all the movies are based.







Reading. It's fundamental...

Can't pick just one.

Same here,
Depends on the mood and genre.

It used to be Disney's Sleeping Beauty but now it's definitively Tangled.

I know that sounds kinda silly, but I like movies with happy endings and make you feel good.
