Every year in the final days of school the science teachers always put this movie on to give us something to watch and every year I only get to see up to the same point
 So how does it end? Does he end up getting to go into space? ------------- |

It is very hard to pick your favourite movie due to the numbers of movies that I saw. the movies that impressed me are:
1.The Legend of the Fall.
2.Beautiful Minds.
3.Good Will Hunting. ------------- "May the eyes of cowards never sleep" Khalid Bin Walid

Life is too important to be taken seriously so I like comedies the best.
Harold Ramus has done some classics like:
-Analyze This
-Analyze That
-Groundhog Day
Others:
-Fools Rush In
-Garden State
-As Good As It Gets
-Mystery Men
A Beautiful Mind about John Nash was really good too. ------------- |

Absolutely. Apart from those, I love a lot of the historical dramas out of Hollywood (especially Braveheart, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven and the wonderful Cleopathra of 1963 with Liz Taylor), as well as anything by Stanley Kubrick (in particular Eyes Wide Shut), Quentin Tarantino, Akira Kurosawa and Hayao Miyazaki. I'm also a big fan of Star Wars, perhaps especially now as the latest three installments have fleshed things out and matured the concept, and the Alien movies (apart from the fourth). Then there's the Appleseed anime of 2003, an animation of Masamune Shirow's manga, which features some of the most impressive animation I've laid eyes upon, Miyazaki's movies included. ------------- |

How about; "The Island of Dr. Moreau?", or "The Hunchback of Notre Dame?"
Don't any of you kids ever watch classic movies? How about, "The Manchurian Candidate?", or "The Graduate?", or literally hundreds of other movies which it seems, none of you under the age of 30 have ever watched nor would you watch without a gun to your heads! ------------- http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/history/ |

OH! Piss boy? Laugh!
Yes, of course it was "good to be King!" LOL Thanks for knowing! PS, I once used the insults from the Frog on the Wall of the Castle in Monty Python's great work, as he insulted the "King", and was given a warning! I posted something like this? "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your silly English K-nig-hts." 
Well maybe not those exact words? ------------- http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/history/ |

A Walk in the Sun
King of Hearts
Amourcord- Best Foreign Film, 1976
It's a Mad Mad World
Middleaged Crazy
For King and Country
The Mouse That Roared
Young Lions
Wings, The original. First Oscar winner. You can rent or buy this. It's long, almost 3 hours, but if you want to see flying like it was in WW I this is it. No tricks, the crashes are real.
Corporate Pirates, A short that was included in the tape of "The Holy Grail"
Monty Python's Holy Grail
A Man And A Woman
And a sentimental Fav. "Death Race 2,000" An early 70's low budggie put up by David Carradine.
It was awful, but an old College buddy had a speaking role and was also listed in the camera credits. Miller Drake is, if not retired, teaching film at a Uni somewhere in the Midwest.

| Probably the movies I have watched the most are the first 5 Marx Brothers films, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner and Jeremiah Johnson. After those, Brazil, The Loved one, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Gladiator, Braveheart, Heat, Sorcerer and The Ghost and the Darkness. Then dodgy comedies like Shakes the Clown and Barfly. |

As of the recent movies I have watched, I really enjoyed Real Steel. I actually though it would be one of those movies like The Transformers where robots will take over the human race. But rather, it teaches some good lesson. It was a crowd pleaser but did not end rather how people probably expected it to. The Da Vinci Code was nice as well, thinking that I enjoyed reading the book, to begin with. |
