Best movie ever
« on: October 24, 2003, 04:15:00 pm »
I'm sure this has already been discussed here. If that is the case, I apologize for the repetition.
 
 Not that board members might want to know which is my favorite movie, but I'd like to see which movies are mentioned here in case I hadn't seen them.
 
 In my case that would have to be "12 Angry Men"

There's no way to point to one.  I can't do it.
 
 Inherit the Wind
 Goodfellas
 L.A. Confidential
 Star Wars
 
 Note, these are among my favorites, obviously, but a lot of my faves are fantastic movies but not Great Cinema (ie, Spinal Tap, all the Christopher Guest movies, Princess Bride.
 
 12 Angry Men was a good choice.  Citizen Kane as well, though I find Touch of Evil more compelling.

If you don't get it, you don't get it.  Did you read Gibson's Neuromancer, by any chance.

ditto on the Christopher Guest movies, I rented Spinal Tap this week and I've watched it at least once or twice a day.  I absolutely love it, the commentary is even better than the movie itself.  of course I love the Monty Python movies, but I am a Life of Brian fan MUCH more than Holy Grail.

I never know whether to laugh or cry when watching Spinal Tap. It's hilarious, but those situations really happen, we live them here sometimes.So maybe it just hits a little too close to home. But hopefully they had such a blast here doing A Mighty Wind that they'll want to come back as Spinal Tap.
