Best. Movies. Ever.
Stormrider blogged about his favorite movies, and so here is my list too:
– Star Wars: A New Hope
– The Matrix
– The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
– Equilibrium
– Donnie Darko
For other, less known movies, but equal gems I have blogged about here.
I must note here that Stormirder’s post was mostly about movies that have played a big role in shaping his personality while growing up. I can claim the same thing about art work, but in my case it’s ‘Star Trek: TOS’ and ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ that has.
BTW, don’t you think that L.A. Confidential is the most overrated movie ever? It is on the top250 of IMDb and I don’t understand why. It is just a normal movie, not bad, and not great either. I don’t get any ‘greatness’ about this movie.

I don’t really have a ranked list of favourites, but from the sci-fi genre I would say Forbidden Planet(1956) is a very good film.
Whoa, deja-vu
Ever see Harold and Maude ? It’s a great dark comedy.
Lately, I watched Misery after taking a look at Bravo’s top 100 horror movies. It’s based on the Stephen King book of the same name. It’s about a writer who crashes and is rescued by his biggest fan. I had to make an animated gif of the most famous scene. I’ve in the book she uses an ax. I recently bought a copy of The Tommyknockers at Goodwill for 50 cents. I’m still reading it. I don’t think I’ve ever read any one story that’s so long. I usually prefer short stories, but a Stephen King book for 50 cents is a deal too good to pass up. I saw the movie on sci-fi a long time ago.
Well I should have really double check ed my post. Oh well.
Forbidden Planet was a great movie, and it’s hard to believe Leslie Nielsen is the same person that would later star in Airplane and The Naked Gun movies.
I join with you on your top three.
After that, here are some of my favorites:
Stand and Deliver
Hoosiers (I know everyone else hated it)
The Natural
Ground Hogs day
Even though Ground Hogs Day is a comedy, I thought its infinitely repeated day brought up some interesting philosophical speculations. And I thought it was funny!
– Star Wars: A New Hope
)
– The Matrix
– Forbidden Planet (with a not so merry Leslie Nielsen
– The Thing (the old one)
– This Island Earth
It’s hard I could add some more movies
everything that has a “film noir” atmosphere is loved by the critics. EVERYTHING. those guys are stuck at the movie stone-age.
Best movies overall:
Bladerunner
Memento
Russian Ark
Movies that left a major impression on me as a kid:
E.T.
The Goonies
The Thing (the original, I was way too young to watch and had trouble falling asleep for a long time)
Braveheart;
Gladiator.
🙂
The most overrated movie ever is “The English patient”, i would gladly kill myself to avoid watching it again.
