Favourite film?
Gosh, that's a tough one Peon...I'd have to say it's a toss up between "Escape from L.A." (yes, the second Escape movie), or "The Thing" (the remake with Kurt Russell).
Granted I also love pretty much every single zombie flick ever made, so *shrug*
My favorite movie changes frequently and really can't be narrowed very well to anything less than 5. However, if I had to tell you right now, without even looking at my movie collection I'd say.... The Departed.
Now, if you would like to talk about directors then I'd say (in no particular order) Michael Mann, Riddley Scott, Sam Mendes, and Akira Kurosawa.
I love movies, couldn't pick a favourite. For me, a movie has to be original, evocative, potentially thought provoking, and creative.
I really liked:
Fight Club
The Game (Michael Douglas and Sean Penn)
Pi - indie film, great!
Shawshank Redemption
Doctor Strangelove - "Gentlemen, there shall be no fighting in the War room!"
LA Confidential (I love film noir!!)
I will throw in my hat with the Lord of the Rings, but I think you have to take al three movies together.
on the comedy front, how about Fletch, Airplane or Caddyshack?
Kill Bill 1 and 2
And yours?!?!
