-----
I like most Science fiction movies from the 50s and 60s
livinginchaos 08-07-05, 10:13 PM Gil, have you seen the 5th Element? or 12 Monkeys?
I don't watch a lot of sci-fi, cut I like these 2 movies.
livinginchaos 08-25-05, 08:46 PM I'm watching Sweet Home Alabama - I forgot how much I like this movie :)
Has anyone seen "Guess Who" with Ashton Kutcher and Zoe Saldana? It's a take off of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" with Katherine Hepburn and Sydney Potier.
It's pretty funny!

I like Science Fiction, especially Star Wars. Although I found Episode I and II disappointing.
But I really love to watch stupid-funny movies with friends late at night. Like Oh Brother Where Art Thou, and Robin Hood Men in Tights, and Monty Python's Holy Grail, and Dodgeball, and...the list goes on and on. I can't pick one that was my favorite.
I also enjoy Horror, Action, and pretty much every genre except Romance and Disney :P

Crybaby1898 09-19-05, 03:00 PM the last sameruia with tom cruise.
Personally, I prefer comedy. But I like these too:
~ Holes (based on the book)
~ Scary Movie 3 (comedy)
~ The Day After Tomorrow (suspensful; i mean, not really, it's just bad weather)
~ Just Like Heaven (saw it yesterday :D comedy/drama)
livinginchaos 09-19-05, 10:10 PM Did you love "Just like Heaven" Paws? I can't wait to see it!!!!
Jeremiah Johnson, the siege of firebase gloria, alien 1 and 2, the final option, oh brother where art thou, predator, sniper, caddyshack, blazing saddles, fallen. thats all i cant think of right now.damn add. :) Bently
truman show, just b/c I just saw, and was reminded how much I love Jim Carrey, to start things off. Jumanji, I grew up with Robin Williams, and this movie is my fav. I also love Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1-2, and I would like to see Reservoir Dogs.
Guy Ritchie's masterpieces--SNATCH, and LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS. The best two movie's ever made. Funnier than me guarentee..(i'll give you my lunch money, if you don't agree)
Lord of the Ring's have to get some credit considering they are the greatest of all movies, ever to be crafted by the hands of a mortal. The only movies that were almost as good as the book.
O geez, I can go on for some time, but that's all you shall receive. For now.
Did you love "Just like Heaven" Paws? I can't wait to see it!!!!I LOVED the movie! The ending has a twist, and it rocks. Plus it's halarious!
Watch it ASAP :D
I love the movie save the last dance!!!
Ok..this isn't one of my absolute favorites..but I'll buy it anyways..because I really liked it...believe it or not...
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Maybe it's because I love Angelina Jolie..maybe it's because the movie was full of action enough to keep me totally interested...either way...I really liked it !!!
Nova
Errm.... 12 Angry men.
Hellfighters,
Old Ealing B&W films (uk)
Road Movies, Vanishing point, 2 Lane black top, etc
Any Laurel & Hardy
:D
hmm...some more for you: Saw, and the Ring (the first one, American vers.) the two coolest horror films I have seen.
Stephen Chow is one of my favorite directors. Shaolin Soccer, and Kung Fu Hustle are amazing, funny, and touching. He also stars in both of them.
Of course, there's Austin Powers(all of them). And I really liked the Italian Job(the new one), especially the part when Scott from Austin Power's is making up a conversation between J. Stratham and some girl. Part of the conv.--
Just pretend that their conversation is actually one person talking to himself in the car.
J.S - I'm gonna need that car, and your shirt.
Girl - Would you like my virginity as well?
J.S. - If it's on the menu.
NotBob1 10-02-05, 03:32 PM Carlito's way

I love that movie! Me, Sci-fi and fantasy are awesome.
Star Wars and Lord of the Rings are great to despite flaws in parts of the star wars... (cough)episode I and II(cough) but it was still good though.
dude, where's butterfly effect?
Butterfly Effect: AWESOME!

livinginchaos 10-09-05, 01:17 AM I liked Blade Runner, ubermoi! I'm not too into sci-fi, but I also like 5th Element.
Best sports movie ever........is Slam Dunk Ernest
'' he say you blade runner, he say you dead!'' says cheeky chinese man who looks like he coud deal a dodgy deal!
what a maroon! So, is this "Blade Runner" worth renting?
Don't hurt me, I'm fragile.
livinginchaos 10-28-05, 01:18 AM I like Blade Runner, bosi. I wouldn't say it's a favorite of mine, but I thought it was intriguing.
If you like sci-fi movies and/or movies that take place in the future, you'll like it.
