I'd be interested to hear what people's current (or all time) favourite movies are!
Despite working for a film VFX company, my top favourite films feature absolutely no special effects at all! Just goes to show all that fancy stuff isn't needed when it comes to telling a goo story!
I'll start off by saying these are simply wonderful (and are mostly in order of favouritism starting off with):
- My Father's Glory
- My Mother's Castle
- Jean DeFlorette
- Manon Des Sources
- Cinema Paradiso
- Amelie
-Fight Club
-American History X
-Green Mile
-Life of David Gail
-In America
-Dogma
-Stigmata
-Silence of the Lambs (A 3 in the series)
-The Shining
-The Exorcist
-Elephant
Lets see:
-Fear and loathing in las vegas
-Lord of the Rings Trilogy(although the books are better so read them first!)
-Ferris Buellers day off
-Dazed and Confused
-Pulp Fiction
-Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
-Hero
I could not "get" Run Lola Run. I understand the meaning of time, and the powerless feeling of trying to go back and change something to just encounter another struggle. Oh well.
Hands down, I think The Lord of The Rings is just superior with attention to detail, filming, sets, and the story explained. I really enjoyed that set of movies, and feel Peter Jackson & Co have set enormous standards.
I also enjoyed the Star Treks (although they have some flaws), and also Harry Potter.
I am really disappointed with Star Wars I and II in terms of the technological leaps Lucas makes. Why are the newer ships more sleek and modernized than the Original 3? I understand filming advances have been made, but why don't the Nubian vessals have buttons and switches, a la Millenium Falcon?
Enterprise did it correctly. No shields. Slow vessel. You feel you are going back into time stepping off Kirk's ship, and going into Archer's.
