[bighitter]

Chopper. One of the best filme ever made and it's Australian.

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

In no particular order: (fuck it I'm bored as well, might as well throw in some little facts and opinions)

Heat, - Did you know the staging of the gunfights were done by Andy McNab (SAS dude turned trashy author.)?

Shaun of the Dead - Greatest movie ever, Contains pretty much every actor whose ever appeared in Spaced (well, apart from Twist, Brian and Bill Bailey)

Platoon - Finest John C McGinley performance ever! (apart from Scrubs which also rocks!)

Apocalypse Now - Why is it Larry Fishburne in this but Laurence in all his recent work? pretencious or what!

Evil Dead 2 - Check out If chins could kill, Bruce Campbells auto-bio. Funny as fuck!

Dead Man's Shoes - Last movie to blow me away!

Aliens - Every Christmas I ask Santa for a pulse rifle

Trainspotting - There is a Begbie in every housing scheme pub in Scotland. Fact!

Highlander - It's got a Frenchman playing a Scot, A Scotsman playing an Egyptian and a Yank playing a Russian whilst the entire population of the planet listens only to Queen. Genius!

[floody]

The Crow is my favourite movie, ever.

[toodles]

1. The Boondock Saints - fuckin ace movie. You've gotta see it.
2. Sin City - can't wait for the next two installments
3. Serenity - I'm a nerd. Big fan of the Firefly series and the movie kicked ass
4. Dusk Till Dawn - strippers, guns, alcohol and vampires - it's got everything!
5. Everything by Tarantino (Fav: Pulp Fiction)
6. Everything by Kevin Smith (Fav: Dogma)

[I-AM-TEH-FASTEST-11]

Yeh,
Ill add
sin city
from dusk til dawn
boondock saints to mine


and yeh on comments about platoon

it also has an unexploited Johnny Depp, William dafoe NOT playing an asshole, and a scared John C. McGinley... things you don't see too often in movies these days


and evil dead 2, wow how could I forget that one.... one of the best scenes in movie history comes from when Ash is in the house and all the lamps, and dead animals and everything is laughing, and he starts bobbing up and down an laughing. WTF? haha how do you write a scene like that?

[DevoDH]

The Rock
Face Off
Saw
Blade (all 3)
Harold & Kumar go to white castle (funniest movie)

Fight Club - The scene where Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) is getting the shit beaten out of him by Lou and just keeps getting up and laughing in his face is awesome.

"Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?"

Oh, and supertroopers of course!

CRACKERS!!!!!!!!! pure gold...
quote; "oh ok i get it...the cat murdered the dog...BULLSHIT!!! im goin to the pub!!!"

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

For the love of god people!

Super troopers is funny as fuck.

However to be honest it isn't much more than an extended SNL episode (only without the SNL cast, probably a good thing that!)

It's not exactly Airplane (or Flying High as you heathens call it) now, is it?

Snatch?

Guy Ritchie ripping off his own movie rather than others for once!

I think the existence of Swept Away and Revolver (dunno if it's been released here yet but if it somehow avoids getting put straight to dvdbut I'd save your $14 for something better. Like root canal surgery.) kind of prove that Mr Ciccone is a bit of a one trick pony!

Mockney Twat!

[NeBoS]

1 - Shawshank Redemption
2 - Secretary
3 - Dinner Rush
4 - Lost in Translation
5 - Revenge of the Nerds:p

[johnny]

Shaun of the Dead - Greatest movie ever, Contains pretty much every actor whose ever appeared in Spaced (well, apart from Twist, Brian and Bill Bailey)

Apocalypse Now - Why is it Larry Fishburne in this but Laurence in all his recent work? pretencious or what!


Bill Bailey is one of the zombies outside the pub in Shaun of the Dead and Mr Fishburne's being credited as Larry in his earlier work has something to do with his being an american of African descent (not wishing to be racist). Apparently Larry is a less offensive name to the fucking racist pricks that run the hole that is the US than Laurence (or so I have heard, this is only the gist of it) and was therefore used in promotional material so the ticket sales would not be damaged by having an African american in a lead role. I think he was credited like this up until around 1992 or so, but not sure.

Anyway, my favourite movies at the moment are as follows (in no particular order):

Sin City
Y Tu Mama Tambien
The City of Lost Children
Delicatessan
A Better Tomorrow
Footrot Flats: A Dog's Tail Tale
Faust
Ronin
Hellboy
Cradle of Fear
Killer Condom
Ghost in the Shell
Lord of the Rings
A Princess Bride
Four Rooms
Naked Lunch
Brazil

he is credited as laurence in friday the 13th part 3 (i think its 3)

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

I was always under the impression that he changed it as he wanted to be regarded as a serious thespian, rather than a mere actor.

Put it this way he's not exactly been renowned for his comedy roles since then...

Well, apart from the Matrix trilogy!:D

[I-AM-TEH-FASTEST-11]

I was wrong, he IS credited as Larry in Nightmare on elm street: part 3 (I realise I wrote friday the 13th in my previous post, but thats a typo..a big one)

it is possible his name was changed in a re-release of the movie, and that's why I thought it was laurence... but who knows

[fieldy]

I honestly don't see why so many people love THE CASTLE.....IT'S SHIT!!! if you want real australian comedy watch CRACKERS.

[chrus]

also..

dodgeball
anchorman
billy madison
roadtrip
old school
the boondock saints
eurotrip
zoolander
team america

[October26]

I actually like the original Donnie Darko better than the Directors edition. I think the directors edition adds some things that don't need to be there (Though some additions were excellent!).

[zen_rider]

fight club
apocalypse now (redux)
crouching tiger, hidden dragon

[sammy boy]

shaun of the dead is the funniest/ best movie EVER!

[Ronin]

Fav movies ever:

The Big Lebowski (the funniest movie ever made. period.)
The Royal Tenenbaum's (so deliciously dry, and painfully heart-wrenching)
Cidade de Deus (City Of God - my favourite gang type movie, it totally kicks ass)
The Fisher King (two great leads, one great story, Terry Gilliam 4 eva)
Dr Strangelove (Kubrick you funny khunt, an absolute pisser of a movie!!!)
A Very Long Engagement (fav director, fav female actor, best movie of the year)
Adaptation (Charlie Kaufman's best effort IMO, my 2nd fav movie ever)
Downfall (new German movie about Hitler's last days in the bunker. F**king intense, a truly awesome war movie, I felt shell-shocked by the end of it)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (great movie!!! and his new ones, HOFD and Hero were fantastic - love it, love it, love it)
American Beauty (Spacey = legend, top movie, really hit the spot)

Wow, I have heaps of favourites, I could keep going all day... :D

[ScottD]

Do you have a thing for Eric Bana?;)
nah there just my favourites, i didnt even think of that until i saw your post
