[size=large]HONESTLY, how many have seen Way Of The Gun...?[/size]
I think its the best movie ever made. It's so real, and the atmosphere's intoxicating.


Top 5 SpacemanSpiff23, Top 5.

I've seen The Way of the Gun. I thought it was great. But not one of my favorites.

Nice choice; some of the better firearm sound effects I've heard through film. The last scene in the courtyard was one of the more visceral moments I can remember in cinema. McQuarrie is a good director for fleshing out the dirty and sublime in us.

By the OP's lead, for today I'll say:

Action: The Bourne Identity
Thriller: Vertigo
Fantasy: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (orginal)
Comedy: A Fish Called Wanda
Horror: Rosemary's Baby

 

[marvin]

Action: Hard Boiled
Thriller: Silence of the Lambs
Fantasy: Star Wars (Ended well. The Alliance won, Luke got the girl, Han got the money, Darth Vader got lost in space. Then Lucas just had to go on...)
Drama: The Deer Hunter
Horror: 28 Days Later

 

[Ooztuncer]

best western: once upon a time in the west
most watched: star wars 4,5,6
most inspiring: shawshank redemption, braveheart
best trilogy: indiana jones / kill bill / back to the future
just before the 21st century: fight club

can watch any given day: pulp fiction, lost highway, in the mouth of madness, mulholland drive, alien, forrest gump, terminator, dr. strangelove, lotr, blade runner, trainspotting, 12 monkeys, heat, any val kilmer movie, and many others that I can't remember now...

I liked Hostel, but I wouldn't say it is the only good horror movie. Some recent horror movies that I thought were better were Decent and High Tension. The Shining is still the most psychologically disturbing movie I've seen. I guess my picks would be:

Das Boot
Fargo
To Kill a Mocking Bird
Blade Runner
The Shining

 

[Gil Schwartzman]

V for Vendetta
The Big Lebowski
American History X
Gladiator
Equilibrium

There is a difference between horror & gore.. I found hostile to be very disturbing, but there was nothing scary about it.

1. Aliens
2. Titanic
3. T2
4. NOTLD
5. Shining
