Top 15 Favorite Movies...Period

Arts & Media Anime, Movies, Video, & TV
1

I saw a favorite book thread, so I figured I'd start a favorite movie thread. I limited the number to 15, because I feel it makes us make choices with more emotion (so as to not leave out what we truly love). Here are my top 15, from most to least favorite. It was a very difficult decision.

1.) American Beauty

2.) Aliens (yes, I mean the second one, and no it's just a coincidence that it is number 2 on my list)

3.) Edward Scissorhands

4.) Full Metal Jacket

5.) Casino

6.) Gremlins

7.) Sunshine

8.) Pandorum

9.) Gattaca

10.) The Thing

11.) A Nightmare on Elm Street

12.) A Scanner Darkly

13.) Samurai X (Rorouni Kenshin)

14.) Kids

15.) Dread

Here's my top 15, in no particular order:

  1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
  2. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
  3. The Big Lebowski
  4. Saving Private Ryan
  5. Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade
  6. Braveheart
  7. LotR: Return of the King
  8. Eraserhead
  9. Snatch
  10. A Clockwork Orange
  11. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  12. Silence of the Lambs
  13. Office Space
  14. Seven
  15. Prometheus

 

Forex, I'm interested to know why Full Metal Jacket is on your list. Of all Kubrick movies, that's probably one of my least favorites. Different strokes for different folks I guess, just wondering. Also, +1 for liking Pandorum. That was pretty close to making my list as well (if you couldn't tell by my username :P).

It might take me a while to come up with a list of my 15 favorites, but some I definitely think are awesome are Casino Royale, Gladiator, The Matrix, and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. LOTR is good too, but I personally thought Return of the King was kind of a let down. The original Star Wars trilogy is also amazing. I saw Argo recently too, and that was a kickass movie.
