Mentioning Galaxy Quest reminds me that Starship Troopers was also a real hoot!

I've really come to enjoy any movie I liked that I can get my kids to watch and enjoy.

Last time it was The Forbidden Planet.

 

This weekend, I'm going to see how well the radio version of War of the Worlds goes.

Our Halloween tradition is, instead of trick-or-treating, we each buy a bag of candy (our pick of the mix), we dump them all in a big bowl, and then we spend the day sitting around watching a movie trilogy and eating candy. Way more fun than dressing up in costumes and going around begging for handouts. This year the trilogy is the original Jurassic Park(s).

My absolute favorite movie of all time is The Martian.

Screw it I'm young, ok? No time to watch those low resolution, terrible acting classic movies.

I am quite a big Quentin Tarantino fan. Actually I'm completely into this whole class of directors - QT, the Coen brothers, Robert Rodriguez, and the like.

One film I find to be severely underrated is The Hateful Eight. The general consensus that I see is that the film is bloated and/or has an excessive runtime. I don't feel this way - in fact one of the aspects of the film that stood out to me the most was that it felt more like a play than a motion picture. No other film has made me snap out of the "I'm watching a movie" sentiment more than this one. The camera and aesthetic choices, along with the sound track, simply make this the most immersive and frankly amazing films I have ever watched.

Another film(s) that I find to be special is the Kill Bill series. I don't know many other films that manage to be so overblown and exaggerated, yet do so while being taken seriously and perfectly maintaining their self-awareness.

Ancient thread, but YouTube popped this up this evening—the entire movie.

Ha, funny it should come up. This year our Halloween trilogy was Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. The best superhero movies ever made.

Interstellar, hands down

Hey, look! It's that guy from Prometheus!

Cars. It is the reason why I want to go to America and watch Nascar. The intro is still giving me goosebumps...

I personally enjoyed immensely was Darkest Hour

That film was amazing in every way. 
 

Personally I can't pick a favorite film. I would say the best made film of my generation is the lord of the rings.

More relevant than for the "upcoming" megathread: Fellowship of the Ring premiered 20 years ago.

I saw ST with one of the guys who did the physical effects for the movie—and I poodleed about the movie the entire time, I was not a fan

I think I owe him a bottle of scotch for that.

[Lisias]

There're many.

But right now, Zero Population Growth comes to my mind:

It's of the same kind of Sci-fi as Soylent Green.

 

[Stormpilot]

There’s a few

Mine too! I like The Polar Express, The Wind Rises, and the Indiana Jones movies (all five!).

My all time favorite movie that holds a place beyond special to me is Lady and the Tramp. Its roughly 26 years older than me. I have so many happy memories of watching it as a child in the 80’s. 
 

gonna leave 2 songs for you

They truly, honestly do not make movies like this any more.

I just watched Lady and the Tramp again for the Ive no idea how many times. And it made me think of this thread and I wanted to bring it forward again to see if anyone else wanted to join the fun and share or add a new favorite movie.
