Favourite Movies?

  #1  
Sep 11th, 2004
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

Regards,

Martyn

Amelie was good; Run Lola Run, a German movie is very interesting as well, but my all time favorite movie is Good Will Hunting.

Hello,

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.

Worst disapointment? Matrix III.

Christian
