What Are Your Favorite Movies? by Ra(f): 11:46am On Mar 26, 2005 |
Top ten There are movies and there are movies as we all must know but there are some movies I really love. I must have seen them a million times but I'll see them again at the drop of a hat. The other day, I sat down to see all four of Mario Puzo's 'Godfather'. I couldn't help marvelling at Al Pacino's and Rob Deniro's combined acting talents all over again. Another one is 'The Shawshank Redemption' - amazing film. Usual suspect- absolutely amazing. 'Murder In The First' -- about Alcatraz and the hideous things that went on in those cells before it was finally shut down. I love 'Pretty Woman' as well on the lighter side. Ah well, I could go on forever about the films I love but I best give you guys a chance to do the same. So, who likes any of these films as much as I do? Ciao. |

Well, I am a science-fiction movie addict but I definitely like the 'Godfather' trilogy and 'Any Given Sunday' (also by Al Pacino). I like the tango scene he performed in 'Scent Of A Woman' but 'The Last Samurai' is one of the films I watch every few days. 'Bourne Supremacy' is also a film I like. The 'Lord Of The Rings' trilogy, The 'Matrix' trilogy (interesting that I always seem to watch films in threes), 'Troy' and 'King Arthur'. I am still waiting to get a CD of 'Alexander'. Well, those are mine. ![]() |

It's amazing, but you definitely sound like a guy after my heart ... well, film wise ![]() Those are by far my favourites of all times as well. I must have seen 'Bourne Identity' and 'Bourne Supremacy' at least a zillion times. 'Casino', 'Last Don' ... I could just go on and on ... |

Just saw 'Finding Forrester', absolutely fantastic. I've not had the opportuinty of watching 'Godfather' and don't even tell people, its such a shame! All the seasons of '24' could make u stay indoors for two days. The suspense is remarkable. Been out of tune for a while now and looking forward to watching 'Hotel Rwanda' and 'Diary of a mad black woman'. I love epic films, comedy, action, sci-fi, cartoon and thriller. Don't talk about best-sellers. Anybody loves books? 1 Like |

delarontus: delarontus: 'Finding Forrester is, as you put it, is absolutely fantastic. Now, 'Hotel Rwanda' you must look for and see. I wish I could post my copy to you. It's an amazing film. I've seen it 3 times in the last week and there's no getting used to it. |

Dominobaby I don't know how u did it but I did not like 'Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels' whatever, because I didn't understand it. Long time ago though! Seun, thanks for the advice. I'll get prepared. Ra, I think you do have a taste for good films |

Re: What Are Your Favorite Movies? by Ra(f): 9:13pm On Apr 11, 2005 |
Talking about movies again, I heard someone utter a statement barely an hour ago that reminded me of a film I saw ages ago and loved so much. I can't remember just how many times I saw the movie in question but let's just say that I can still say so many lines from it offhand. I'm talking about the all time comedy 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil'. Now that was some funny film. For the benefit of those who never saw this film, please go to your nearest video club on Friday night, curl up on the sofa and have a wild time laughing all the way preferably with your husband, wife, partner, b/gfriend as the case may be. Two friends; one blind, one deaf dominated the film to the end; hence, it's all telling title. Moving on to heavier stuff, some might start thinking I'm obsessed if I say I saw Hotel Rwanda again last weekend ![]() Let me tell you a bit about the film, enough to whet your appetite. For starters, it's a true life story about the genocide in Rwanda. The film is so perfect that you actually momentarily forget you are not in Rwanda. The emotion that wracks through you to the very end reassures you that there is hope left for humanity yet. It is the story of a man who single-handedly saved the lives of so many people. Well, maybe I shouldn't say single-handedly because some of his hotel staff helped him out. The man was none other than Don Cheadle (starred in Ocean 11 &12, Sword Fish amongst other films). What never fails to amaze me is how this American mastered the Rwandan accent so perfectly. Well, I must add that he spent a long time in Rwanda prior to the shooting and met with the man whose life he sought to portray (Paul Rusesabagina) who is still very much alive. In another part of this forum we were discussing what makes a man the head of his family and how respect is earned by him. If and when you see this film, you will marvel at the faith and complete trust the wife (acted by our own Sophie Okonedo, a Nigerian, an Ibo girl, though she was born and weaned in the UK) had in her husband. The husband is Hutu (the ruling tribe) while the wife is Tutsi (the minority massacred in Rwanda). It was like the case of the uproars between Ishekiris and Ijaws in Warri. You know Ijaws married to Itshekiris and vice versa were killed during the crisis, some even by their very husbands. But this guy stood up to provide a refuge for his wife's people together with others who were merely neighbours and those who ran to him for help. He disregarded his own life and submitted himself to fate. He even managed a sense of humour through it all. The only reason Ray Charles got the OSCAR and Hotel Rwanda didn’t is simply because it is still very fresh in victims’ memories and might lead to a crisis in America between whites and blacks based on the way the whites in Rwanda treated the indigenes when they were in dire trouble and needing their help. And of cause, forgive this escaping my memory; the whites started the whole problem in the first place by empowering the Hutus and then leaving the Tutsi’s in government. The best thing, really, is to see this movie. It is now available on DVD and I'm sure you can obtain a copy if you go to any major film shop or something. If you see it and it's anything less than I've proclaimed, please feel free to have a go at me... only don't swear please! |

[I]em[/I], Ra, I think you have done some kind of advert for this film. I'll try find it out. That reminds me of the advert for Troy done by the [I]Silverbird Cinemas[/I] when they first started operations. The advert was much more catchy than that done by the movie producers themselves. So long! |
Re: What Are Your Favorite Movies? by Chigszy(f): 6:07pm On Apr 12, 2005 |
My favourite all-time movie is 'Sound of Music'. As a kid, I loved watching it and even now I still watch it and still have that same feeling of awe about the movie. I loved 'Tripple Bleep' with Vin Diesel. Man oh man, is that guy hot? I also like 'Lord of the Rings' (all three of them)! Men that movie deserved all the Oscars it collected! I mean, I am still amazed at the whole production, scene, suspense, romance, combat, pictography etc. And I love New Zealand! I hope to settle there one day or at least stay there a couple of years! And men is Aragon hot or what? Gosh, I have a lot of movies that I love. 'Finding Nemo', that was pretty neat and cute! The Incredibles!, Constantine! You guys have got to see that movie! 'Resident Evil', men I loved when the laser thing that was going on in the room when they were trapped and then when the guy was sliced up like in cubes because the laser beam changed to that formation (ok, I mean that is kind of gross but it was a good visual effect!) 'Hitch' was not all that bad but men Will Smith has come a long way! That man is hot hot hot! I mean, look at him now and him then (as Fresh Prince of Bel Air) I mean I give him props for that body! Jada is such a lucky woman! Gosh, I can go on and on. I also like Anastasia (the Disney production cartoon). I mean I can also watch it many times and still enjoy it like I first did also 'Mulan'. |
Re: What Are Your Favorite Movies? by kodewrita(m): 3:50pm On Apr 25, 2005 |
Well, Aragon is cool but Legolas is more handsome (looks like a Viking). Anyway, being a guy, I'll say Arwen is the coolest of the whole bunch. I particularly like Gimli because he keeps grumbling. Anybody watched 'Hackers Unite'? Fairly old but quite interesting. |

Last week, I watched the ''Indiana jones triology'' all over again. I think Sean Connery is doing well in old age. I enjoyed ''the rock''. I've seen ''the league of Extra-ordinary gentlemen too''. But one of my best movies of all time is ''the game'' by Michael Douglas. |

Re: What Are Your Favorite Movies? by gina34(f): 6:56pm On May 09, 2005 |
I like movies, but tripping for 'Keeping Faith', and I would love to see 'The Godfather' because I have not seen it yet. Most especially, I love bestsellers especially 'Save the Last Dance' and some Indian films. ![]() |

The Godfather trilogy? Awesome The Good, The Bad and The Ugly? Great The Shawshank Redemption Spectacular When it comes to movies, I could go on and on... there's Braveheart, (although Mel Gibson's senses of history is warped), The Sound Of Music,... |
