I seem to like sad/sappy movies:

Awakenings
What Dreams May Come
Philadelphia
Serendipity

then of course:
Neverending Story (OH YAH!)
Hero
Dave
The Abyss
Terminator 2 (OF COURSE!)

uh...that's all i've got for now.

I tend to like 'em weird.

*Fight Club
*American Beauty
*8 Mile
*Snatch
*Harry Potter (I like them both)
*Underworld (loved the concept, the fight scenes with Kate Beckinsale rocked and the actors were extremely easy on the eyes)
*Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door
*Lord of the Rings (both so far, I'm sure the third one will be added to the list soon!)
*Spider-Man (it's about time they made a GOOD comic-to-movie transelation. It satisfied my inner geek :goodjob2: )
*Holes

And just for the record, Icedawg, I cried like a little girl during Philadelphia.

Well.. I'll try in no order, but given, my all time favorite is:

- Ghost in the Shell
- Donnie Darko
- X
(now in no order)
- Blood
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail/Meaning of Life
- The Pianist
- Matrix (of course)
- Lord of the Rings (meh, kinda)

Can't think of much else really.. those are the biggies I suppose.

Are there many anime fans on here? I think anyone on this board would love the movie Donnie Darko.

Donnie Darko... that's another one I forgot. That one was pretty good too.

I'm an anime fan. I used to be an otaku (though much cleaner!), but I sort of grew out of it. I really like the Lain series, as well as Cowboy Bebop. I started to get into .//hack, but I've only seen the first couple of episodes (I borrowed it from a friend).

Oh, and anything by Miyazaki-san has my vote. Every single one of his movies (and graphic novels) kicks ass.

Sorry O'nus, but I strongly dislike Donnie Darko. Perhaps I was expecting too much, but it seemed it could of been more. Beautiful cinematography though...

Kind of funny... as soon as I read that "Hi! I'm New, but please read.." thread you started I immediately thought of that movie.

It was cool. Plus it had a little bit of the movie Evil Dead in it, which is also cool! :D

its one of those movies where its funny, but you pretty much just feel sorry for the characters, because all kinds of fucked up stuff happens to them.

oh god, i JUST watched "FLATLINERS", with Keifer Sutherland, Julia Robers, Kevin Bacon, and 2 other popular actors. it was made in 1990, and is amazing compared to other movies that were made around that time, and dont get me wrong, there are alot of older movies that are great, like...star wars, or something, but this movie was great.

it is amazing! anyone seen it?

knowing his "remake" work, it will end up being a trippy re-telling like he did with Planet of the Apes.
