Hmm.....A favorite movie list eh?

Well, I don't have a favorite. I find it hard to pick just one, since I feel that I am being unfair to the other excellent movies that I enjoy.

Some off the top of my head:

Stay
2046 (Chinese movie, it's still non-Japanese XD)
Dream-catcher
Requiem For A Dream
3-Iron
Boondock Saints
Sin City
I Am Legend
SAW
Black Mask
The Matrix
Constantine

Sorry, I got carried away, this list is long enough.


Movies that I dislike:
Ultraviolet
(Can't think of anymore. ATM)

I am Legend is good. Wouldnt say that its a favourite of mine though ^_^

I prefer 28 days later and 28 weeks later. :3

Some of my favourite movies...

10 things I hate about you (RIP Heath..>_<)
Dumb and dumber
Braveheart
Stand by me (I can never get enough of this movie xD)
28 days later/28 weeks later

Worst movies? Hmm...Stardust o.O...cant think of anymore.

Yeah, 28 Days Later, I didn't care much for. I felt it was trying to be like a zombie movie, even though it wasn't. It was a virus that leaked out into the world. I am Legend is similar, but it is much more extreme. I guess that's why I like it more.

I never saw 28 Weeks Later. I found the first one kind of slow and boring.

EDIT: You think Stardust was a bad movie? I never saw it, it looks unique. I also want to see the Seeker, and Golden Compass.

clairebear 01-27-2008 02:12 AM

I thought 28 days later had more action in it than I am Legend..if you know what I mean >_< Hah, I thought IAL was kind of slow, but its still a good movie. ^_^

Oh, Golden Compass, I forgot about that. I went to the cinema to see that a while ago, its pretty good. My dad dragged me to the cinema to see it, and I had no idea what it was about so I wasnt expecting it to be very good xD And yeah, I guess Stardust just isnt my kinda movie :rolleyes:

If both of you like the 28 later... there are a great movie out soon ewww
Scotland 2033

I see your point. For me, action doesn't make a movie. (Not saying that it does for you.) It's the plots, the story depth, and how much it makes you think, and sit there in awe.

Most of my favorite movies aren't adrenaline pumping action. As long as I can use my brain to think, and work to understand what the director was trying to accomplish, then I find the experience more enjoyable. IAL was about survival, and trying to find a new future. Almost the same with 28DL it's not about the action. ^_~

EDIT: Thanx for the inside scoop on Stardust and Golden Compass.

I actually really liked Stardust! I though it was one of the first films in that area that actually done a good job. It included comedy in a subtle way that was great and the actors performed amazingly. It was like theatre acting, but in a movie which was nice!

koaku 01-27-2008 11:34 AM

I watched stardust yesterday and...its not the worst but ...i'll call that a " Sunday_Movie" The end is great (the fight with the Witch) and Robert De Niro can do better lol
