My movie tastes vary like my musical tastes. I'm a horror/suspense/thriller person though. Love Hitchcock movies, "The Birds", "Rear Window", "Dial M for Murder" (also like the remake "Perfect Murder"), "Psycho" and so on.
I also like Clive Barker and his books to movies , "Hell Raiser", "Candyman", "Lord of Illussions", "Nightbreed". Stephen King is my favorite author (don't laugh) and I like several of his movies that were made from books like "Carrie", "Cujo", "Shawshank Redemption", etc. Tim Burton movies, "Edward Scissorhands", "A Nightmare Before Christmas".
Also fan of Wes Craven movies, John Carpenter, Vampire movies, The Prophecy, Dawn of the Dead, Saw, The Scream trilogy, ok, ok, most anything in this genre.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is among my all time favorite movies, the extended versions, not the theater versions.
Comedies: All time fav is "It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world", also "Leatherface, Chainsaw Massacre 3 (ok, so it wasn't technically a comedy),"Evolution", etc...
Sci-Fi: "Star Wars", "Chronicals of Riddick", "Pitch Black", "Harry Potter", etc...
Action: Love action movies like "Crimson Tide", "G.I. Jane", "Italian Job","Once Upon a Time in Mexico", "Gone in 60 Seconds", etc...
Drama: "Indian Runner", "Citizen Kane", "Its a wonderful life", "Albino Alligator", "Fahrenheit 911", "Day after Tomorrow","A History of Violence", "The Glass House", etc...
Western: "Hildago", "Big Jake", "Silvarado", etc...

I read these postings a lot, but this is my first time on here. There are a lot of good flicks out there, and all the ones listed are good. But I just couldn't resist since I haven't seen the one that has stuck in my head all these years: The Year of Livining Dangerously. Another great fun flick is Amalie.
Amen on the accents in Steel Magnolias. One thing that grates on me is a bad impersonation of a southern accent.

I have a long list of favorite movies but among those that most readily come to mind:
Several all time favorites:
"The Godfather" parts I and II--the third one should never have been made.
"Apocalypse Now"--I like both the original and the later "Redux" version that restored the parts that Coppola inexplicably cut out.
Others that come to mind for a number or reasons:
"Moonstruck"; "A Field of Dreams"; "The Big Chill"; "Grand Canyon"; "Tender Mercies"; "The Apostle"; "When Harry Met Sally"; "Michael"; "Grapes of Wrath"; "Citizen Kane"; "A Touch of Evil"; "Patton"; "Rocky Horror Picture Show"; "O Brother Where Art Thou?"; "Raising Arizona"; "Fargo"
I do have more favorites--and when I have another list--I will probably come back with another post.

I have not seen all of Mategascar yet. Parts, but the parts I did see were funny.
Jack Jack is funny in The Incredibles. Great movie!
And I did forget one that I have loved since it came out........."Bird Cage"!
That movie is down right hilarious! I love it. :)

Thpugh sne never would tell me what turned her on so much, The Devil in Miss Jones left her literally dripping and very tasty.

Some more movies that come to mind that are faves:
"Band of Brothers" was a good film--I do consider that HBO series to be a film and the series was very much related to a feature film that came out in the same relative time frame made by Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks: "Saving Private Ryan." Speilberg and Hanks served as executive producers of the "Band of Brothers" mini-series.
Another recent film that I enjoyed--admittedly a bit violent but good none-the-less: "Open Range" with Kevin Costner, Robert Duvall and Annette Benning. I think that the movie was one of the most realistic western films ever made.
Gonna follow a stream-of-consciousness thing relating to favorite stars and similar types of films now: talking about "Open Range" reminds me of another recent film that Annetter Benning starred in along with Denzel Washington: "Under Seige"--that film was rather prescient.....and something lighter with Annette: "The American President" that starred Michael Douglass--that film leads me to "Dave" with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver and thinking of Sigourney--my all time favorite sci-fi type flick: The original "Alien." (still thinking about Sigourney makes brings to mind a film someone else mentioned in a previous posting that I loved since the first time I saw it: "The Year of Living Dangerously.)
Another classic sci-fi film, that I think a guy named Gene Roddenberry boorrowed some ideas from when he made a little TV show he created in the 1960s called "Star Trek"--the movie is "Forbidden Planet"--that film was head and shoulders above all of those low rent sci-fi flicks of the time--that leads me to one other sci-fi classic--"The Day the Earth Stood Still."
While still thinking of classic sci-fi flicks---I have always been a fan of the H.G. Wells story "War of the Worlds."
I always liked the 1950's version and have to say that while I am not a big fan of Tom Cruise---Spielberg did a great job of bringing the story into the 21st century.
I do wonder--how did Dakota Fanning become the sci-fi/horror flick little girl? She is a cute kid and does a great job acting--I just find it interesting that she has already, in her relatively short career and life, become the queen of sci-fi flicks--I want to see more of Kari Wuher (sp?)

Some more fave movies: I do like the "chick flicks" as well---some of those: "Sleepless in Seattle"; "You've Got Mail" and "Steel Magnolias"--from having lived in the south for a time--I knew each and every one of those women--"Fried Green Tomatoes" was another good one. I also liked "Where Fools Rush In"
I have to correct the title of a film from a previous post: instead of "Get Smoochy" the correct title should have been "Death to Smoochy" Robin Williams did a great role as someone "with gender issues"

I love a lot of movies, quite varied in topics, but I have maybe a preference for comedies and action/adventure movies to get away of the problems of this world... :tong:
But I have a big problem, I'm quite bad at remembering titles of movies, books, etc. what it makes me appear as a real dumb person (more than I am... :rolleyes: ). So I think it's better for me, to give some comments of the movies and maybe you can identify them... Oh, well...
1) I said I love comedies, but maybe not Mel Brooks type, as they seem too easy obvious jokes, but I have here one of his: "Men In Tights", apart from the jokes, Robin Hood is played by Cary Elwes, who made my eyes bulge since I saw him in "The Princess Bride", another romantic comedy.
2) I love actors and actresses before they become famous, and usually I have a gift for identify them in the movies, sort of yelling "omg, do you know who this is? This is X", followed by somebody answering "no way", but then after looking at the cast list, I'm usually right... :bigrin:
I remember one comedy where Val Kilmer played a party boy genius kid in a school for genius kids and they ended blasting the bad guy's home with pop-corn... Cannot remember the title... :(
I can remember another one of Val Kilmer when he was damn cute, "Top Secret!", it's about a famous rock & roll star (played by Val Kilmer) - sort of Elvis Presley, going to East Germany to play a concert. The humour is an adult one, so no for kids, but Val Kilmer performed all the songs... really well!!!
I like also the film "The Saint" with Val Kilmer, as I have a thing for travelling, speaking other languages, adventure...
I think I prefer Antonio Banderas in his movies in Spain (where I think in almost all his movies was requested to appear nude ;) ), before making it big in America, but from his ones in America, maybe I'd choose "Interview With A Vampire" and "The Zorro". His filmography in Spain (being gay director Pedro Almodóvar's protegé) deals mostly with sexual issues, being quite avant-garde (seen mainly as underground till international recognition). See for instance the advertisement comment for "La Ley del Deseo" ("The Law of Desire"):
"Seventh feature by a Spanish writer/director hitherto unknown in this country: a lush, overblown, steamy, tragi-comedy murder thriller set in Madrid, there's something to offend and delight everyone. It opens intercutting between the filming, dubbing and première of one of fictional director/writer Pablo Quintero's homo-erotic movies. Pablo leaves the first-night party without his quasi-lover, Juan, who's straight and loves him dearly, but... desire's off his menu. Pablo sends Juan to the country to put distance between them, and a handsome stranger, Antonio, obsessed by the director, makes his move to fill the gap. Actress Tina, the director's sex-changed brother (the stupendous Carmen Maura), now a lesbian, has her own problems to deal with, plus her lover's precocious daughter. Pablo, Tina and Antonio take up their themes in a passionate fugue which accelerates fast. Wit, sex, drugs and topsy-turvy clichés abound; Almodóvar's sensuous style carries all before him. A life-affirming joy. "

I love martial arts films, but they make me laugh with such unrealistic special effects in some of them. I love the Bruce Lee's ones, his also late son Brandon Lee's, Jean-Claude Van Dam's, Dolph Lundgren's, Jackie Chan's... (in Jackie Chan's "Gorgeous" there is a funny gay man, and the story also is funny... even the love message in the bottle is romantic)
"Showdown in Little Tokyo" with Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee (what a great ass Dolph has!!! and both of them are cute... :) ) and I think it was the first role for Tia Carrere, who joins Dolph in the bath... :drool:
"Shaolin vs. Lama" and that sort... lol
"The Last Dragon", a funny romantic martial arts comedy, starring Taimak and Vanity (I read that Vanity is short for Vaginity, being one of Prince's [known also as the Artist, formerly known as Prince] former girlfriends, known for her ... abilities where she got the nickname from). The story is about a young black guy obsessed with Martial Arts, and not paying much attention to other parts of his education... :bigrin: The songs are great (I think from the 70's with big screens as in a disco...)
Well, those are some of my favourites, I have many more...
All the best,

I wanted to find that title for years, and the filmographies of Val Kilmer I saw were not that good.
With the info you kindly provided, I made a search and found some pics and where I can find the DVD. Thanks, sweety.
Well, I now need to ask Santa for it, for this year or a bit later... ( :2cents: :( ) I need to have a good laugh and it made me laugh when I saw it.

I love the beautiful landscapes depicted sometimes in some movies... I could just enjoy the reactions those images produce in my mind and my heart, and completely forget the rest of the movie...
Those landscapes can be soft and relaxing, like some tropical beaches... with a palette of soft pastels like in "The Blue Lagoon" or "Return To The Blue Lagoon", it can be underwater like "Splash", mountain landscapes like in "The Sound Of Music", or they can even be really powerful with a high level of contrast, like in a kaleidoscope with strong colours... as in Akira Kurosawa's "Ran" or Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor"...
rayosytruenos
Dec 22, 2005, 4:17 PM
Those landscapes can be also an enticing temporal/geographic atmosphere like in "Doctor Zhivago", magnificent natural landscapes as in "Out Of Africa" or with an etnographic element added to it, like "Dances With Wolves", powerful contrast of colours, with striking lights and shadows like in "Gone With The Wind", or even aerial views like in "Top Gun"...
Of course, the music has to fit the wanted feelings on the spectators... but I think that can be a whole new thread... lol

Reading one of Rayo's posts about non-English language films--brought to mind a recent film from Mexico that is a favorite: "E tu Mama Tambien"
I have only seen the film once on a movie channel and can't seem to find it at my local Blockbuster to rent it so I can see it again.
The movie deals with the lives of two teenage buddies who along with one of the boys' cousins--a very beautiful actress (I know, females should be called actors but somehow I like the sound of the word "actress" and am sorry that word went out of favor)
The three of them take a trip across Mexico. Their trip takes a day or so and they wind up in a beautiful unnamed spot somewhere on the Mexican Pacific coast.
One of the things I found most interesting about the film--the two boys, like most teenagers, have hyper active sex drives and are always horny--there is one scene where they are masturbating together while sitting around a pool. I find that interesting since Mexican culture seems to me is still very traditional and hyper masculine. I wonder what the response to that scene was in Mexico?
A good line from the movie--both of the boys try their hand at seducing the beautiful cousin--she tells them she won't screw them but says something like: "Why don't you just fuck each other, isn't that what you both really want to do?"

[...]
This is what Jeff Shannon says about the film in amazon.com:
Plenty of juicy "s" words apply to And Your Mother Too: sexy, sweet, subtle, sad, surprising, superb... and did we say sexy? With enough male and female nudity to qualify as softcore porn--but deserving none of the stigma attached to that label--this vibrant coming-of-age road movie is guaranteed to jumpstart any viewer's libido. Frank treatment of its characters' burgeoning sexuality makes this unrated film a real eye-opener, but it's never prurient or juvenile. Rather, the three-way odyssey of two 17-year-old Mexican boys (Gael GarcÃ*a Bernal, Diego Luna) and a 28-year-old Spanish beauty (Maribel Verdú) is energetic and affirmative, while acknowledging that relationships--and sexual adventures--rarely develop without a hitch or two (or three). Filmed in sequence by Alfonso Cuarón (Great Expectations), and shot with invigorating natural style, this refreshing comedy-drama employs an omniscient narrator to reflect upon precious stolen moments, weaving three lives into a memorable tapestry of fun, friendship, and fate. --Jeff Shannon
Here you can see that one and some more comments about that film:

Hi!
I want to comment on one movie I cannot remember its title, but I found it quite interesting... Oh, where is Arana now??? lol
The movie is about the Good and Evil, and it's another movie about the end of the days, so the title could be sort of Prophecy, Apocalypse, Last Days or something similar or including those key words...
It's a horror movie, but I remember it with a good touch of humour... I remember 2 young guys who seem to be the key to help to establish the Good forever or something like that, and they think a black guy is a demon, but it seems that eventually he is an angel...
Ok, the funny thing that was marked in my memory is that the guy to demonstrate them (I think) that he is an angel, he says to one of the young blokes "you are j****** off all day, man!" to what the youngster replied "yeah, I'm a f****** horny sob, and there are some hot chicks in our school... hahaaaahaa" giving high 5 to his mate, and then the angel added "yeah, but you also j*** off over some blokes..." making the youngster's mate put a shocked face and shout "what dude? you j*** off over some blokes?", his mate then answering "well, dude, just a couple of times..."
This dialogue is not a quotation, it's more or less how I remember it (I'm not Arana... :( ) so please, if this rings a bell to anyone and makes you recognize the film, would you be so kind to say the title... I cannot even be sure of what actors were in it...
Yeah, I know I should change my anti-depressants... lol... but everything has its own advantages and disadvantages... :)

I know that A LOT of people are really happy and relieved to know you as you are, nice and wise, :) and not like me :( but I wish just to have a bit of that wonderful magic you have... :tong:
Hmmm... I'm trying to remember more details of the movie, but not sure if I'm mixing details with other films... Or completely changing them...
If I remember slightly correctly, the 2 guys were travelling I think in a train when the black guy (who is a famous stand-up comedian apart from actor, younger than Eddie Murphy and I think good-looking but it's not Arsenio Hall... could he be one of the Wayans brothers? not sure, I cannot recall properly his face) shows them or wants them to help with the task, but they lost him...
I remember I think one of the last scenes in front of a cathedral, and the baddies are trying to prevent them to enter the temple. Not sure if there are even vampires included in the plot...
I also think there is an unexpected angel (?) with suddenly growing wings or sort of structure who is an actress with usually not very deep roles, with long blonde hair or dirty blonde hair...
Does it ring any bell now??? Please don't tell me that the bell ringing is the one at the door of a psychiatric asylum... lol
Am I hallucinating??? :( :eek:

Seriously worried about my sanity, I decided not to sleep till I found something giving me some hope that I'm not totally crazy... lol
By the way, can you just be a bit crazy??? :bigrin:
Ok, so with the detail that the guy I thought was an angel was a "famous black stand-up comedian", I did a google search, and one of the first things that appeared was the name Chris Rock, so I made a search for pics of his face, and I thought it could be him.
Somewhat a bit relieved now and hopely wishing that I could prove I'm not hallucinating, I made another search, this time for "Chris Rock filmography", and I looked for a film that could be the one giving me nightmares... Was I really hallucinating?
I found "Dogma" (1999) which can be related to Prophecy, Apocalypse, or Last Days. I made a search for the movie and seeing a pic, I started to be really anxious...

The plot summary posted by one reader says:
"The last descendant of Christ is called upon by the Voice of God to stop two exiled angels from entering a New Jersey church and thus negating all existence. She is aided by the little know thirteenth apostle named Rufus, a literal muse turned stripper and two bad-mouthed, mall-crawling, joint-smoking prophets: Jay and Silent Bob. An ex-muse turned demon named Azrael tries to keep the group from accomplishing their goal so he can have his revenge against God."

So I was not that wrong about the plot either...
And I found even my quote!!!:
"Jay: Yo man, tell me something about me.
Rufus: You masturbate more than anyone on the planet.
Jay: Aw fuck, everyone knows that. Tell me something nobody knows.
Rufus: When you do it, you're thinking about guys.
[a shocked Silent Bob stares at Jay]
Jay: Dude, not all the time. "
Again, not really perfect memory, but I would say approximately enough.

You cannot imagine how relieved I am now... My pills are really affecting my memory and I can have even hallucinations as one of their many side effects!!!
I must warn you that if you want to watch the movie, you must keep in mind that you can be offended in more than one way. I remember to be quite shocked by the treatment of some religious topics and I AM QUITE OPEN MINDED!!!
I think I can have a well deserved rest now... SO I'M NOT THAT CRAZY... OK??? :rolleyes:
All the best,

Thanks, Rich!
I did, but I guess I had not enough patience to wait... I was seriously thinking that I made a film in my mind with pieces of other movies... lol
And yeah, the pills are something, but they don't work well enough to pull me out of the hole I'm in it, and I wish that hole could be something else... :rolleyes:
All the best,

Ah Ray, I'm so glad you figured it out. That was the movie I was thinking but some of the stuff you had wasn't clicking and I was afraid to say Dogma and then be way off. It's a great movie isn't it! I love it.

...good??? I'm not that sure... The only thing I feel they do for me it's no need to carry on with me a fool box of tissues... and no, not for that... lol, but for the deep sadness with no explanation I fall into without them.
Free association??? You should see me without the pills, I couldn't keep my mind in one topic for more than 10 seconds as my thoughts were jumping from one to another one with the sometimes weirdest and slightest free associations of thoughts...
I guess my mind map would be worse than thousands of spider webs disturbing each other... lol
Your memory seems to work better than mine... after all, you say you did remember even the names of the actors!!!
All the best,

lol... more than figuring it out, it was more of a worried search after search to check my mental status... :bigrin:
I liked it, that's why I wanted to know the title, but I cannot assure you which parts I like most as you can see by my posts that I am not able to remember it properly... :(
The only thing it was marked in my memory was that convo (the quote) and I think at the time I found the blond guy attractive and wanting to help him... lol, but I believe that there is also an actress there who is gorgeous...
I'll have to check...
Thanks for your comments, Arana. :)
All the best,
