Hi

So how many of you are going to list star wars or the lord of the rings?

I like scary movies, they got to really scare me but I also like other kinds, action, war, dramas, comedies.

Here are my 3

1) The others (N.Kidman)
2) 28 days later
3) The exorcist

I found these 3 movies quite scary, it's a great feeling to be scared when there is no real danger that is. I like to watch late at night when I am off the next day and the rest of the family is sleeping.

Hmmm...I really hate you. Why only three? haha...I'll give it my best shot though...

1) Donnie Darko

Words cannot describe just how freaking cool this movie is. With a mind-boggling plot, magnetic characters, and a unique tendency to draw from just about every single movie genre out there, this flick does nothing short of knock you out. The music is chilling and the ending deeply depressing. You'll be scratching your head for weeks (and probably lose some sleep in the process too!). Overall, highly recommended for just about ANYONE. You will be BLOWN AWAY!

2) Platoon

As a war film, it is continually praised for its gritty realism. As a Vietnam film, it is always mentioned with the classics of its kind. But the thing that makes Platoon so unique is the heart and soul that Oliver Stone, a Vietnam vet himself, poured into the production. As much psychologically twisting as it is action-packed, the film emphasizes the clash between good and evil under alleged unity. Excellent performances across the board (yes, even Charlie Sheen). The music is haunting, and the tone is perpetually harrowing. Belongs in every history addicts DVD collection.

3) Life is Beautiful

This film ultimately accomplishes the impossible: it creates a comedy about the Holocaust. While it seems absurb, Italian slapstick genius Roberto Benigni manages to pull such a task off without offending the masses. A gently love story turned tragedy, it contains a magical essence that touches the heart in all the right places. The screenplay is brilliant, and the score is nothing short of magnificent. This film will stick in your mind for days--it is truly a beautiful piece of cinema.

Honorable Mentions: Requiem for a Dream, Apocalypse Now, Forrest Gump, Rocky

i watch quite a lot of movies but i don't have particular favourites but i can still make a list:)

Mummy returns - I used to have this movie on my computer, so i have watched it a million times.

White chicks - I think this movie is really funny and the songs in the movie are very nice

Pirates of the Carribean - One day I had nothing to do so I bought a ticket of this movie, thinking that i could get a nap in the cinema. And it turned out to be a very exciting movie that later I downloaded it to watch it again.

Monsters Inc - Although it's a cartoon, it's very touching, not to mention the cute characters in it.

The Incredibles - People might say it is over-rated but i still love it

I know i listed more than 3 movies but i really dont have a particular order for them. all of them are different types of movies and... they are just different to be compared...

I didn't catch the "...and why?" in the title.

I like Sin City because the plot is engaging and the cinematography is masterful. Not to mention the fabulous production quality.

I ♥ Huckabees is hilarious and insightful. The soundtrack is perfect. Mark Wahlberg is fantastic in this film. Unfortunately, the majority of people to whom I've shown this film have hated it.

Immortel is bizarre. Half live-action and half CGI; Egyption gods meet interdimensional travelers.

Like every other normal human on this planet I love LOTR, Star Wars and Star Trek. Besides that I love war movies like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers (the best movie that HBO ever made).
I shouldn't forget The Matrix which is one of my favourites.

I don't really think I have a top 3, but I have a number one. Its the Matrix. Most people wonder why. Its quite simple, I like the matrix not only because of the cool special effects and non-stop action, but this movie explores many deep issues that apply to life today.

My best example is when "Smith" is speaking with Morpheus, and he describes the human race as a virus that spreads to survive because of thier lack to form an equilibrium with the enivornment like all other living things.

I agree with that statement, but I can't help it because im also a virus like the rest of us = ).

1) Notting Hill - Because I'm a closet romantic masquerading as a cynic who is actually a naive optimist. Leave you to figure that one out.

Oh, and also because I'm a total pushover for pretty (Brit!) boys. (Although technically Hugh Grant can't be considered a boy anymore...

But nevermind that.)

2) LOTR - Orlando Bloom. What else is left to say? Okay, if not for him, I'd prefer the books, really. Hmm, he's British too. Maybe I should migrate to the UK...

3) Pirates of the Carribbean - I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Arrr! Oh, and yes, having both Orlando and Johnny Depp in the same movie makes for better value for money

And now I'll grant your wish and stop gushing... Before you hurl.

Hey its just very hard to restrict myself with only 3 movies... ok... i will post what i have...

note: The order is not based on my liking... i like all of them so much.

Life is Beautifu
This movie i watched after some recommendation from my friends. After watching the movies i recommended to atleast 200-300 of my friends. This movie is more than awesome and just great... The characterization and expressions are more than very good...

The Godfather
This i think is one of the movies that i have crossed the threshold limit of 50(number of times i have watched...). i just cant believe make-up can change a person so much... The way Al Pacino looks in the first part and in the last part when he dies... wha... the make-up is worth some mention.. And this i like so much... Al Pacinos action when his daughter gets shot ..when he cries aloud.. he is the best.

Lord of the Rings
I have watched this movie atleast 60-70 times, but still not bored. worth 11 oscars...

Forest Gump
Tom Hanks is one of the best.

Terminal
the real situation when you think is un-bearable... But... no words man... awesome movie...

The pursuit of happyness
Below is my blog post about the movie.
http://varalu.blogspot.com/2007/06/pursuit-of-happyness.html

Gladiator
Russel Crowe is one of the best...

The Matrix
I still cant believe those brothers were able to get an idea like this... Awesome man awesome. They were the beginning for some of the great movies that followed.... What i like in Matrix?? concept, colors, dialogues, actions, reactions, accessories, costumes, guns, machines... of course the red women, Neo, trinity and the others.
Forgot to mention morpheus

Departed
nice Movie... I like the drop kick murphy album so much.... i am going to play that now...

ok...time to move... there are still more movies... that i like...

Notting hill (nice romance)...
Troy
Remember the Titanz
The prestige
The Patriot
Titanic

1) Scarface

who doesnt like this movie. so far this is the best movie ever made. shows wat a guy had to go though when he arrived here the the u.s and it also showed how gangsta he was. this movie is packed with action and there never is a dull moment in the movie.

2) Matrix(the forst one)

i think this is the best out of the 3 cuz in the 2nd and the 3rd they talk to much. i mean there better fights but they just talk to much. int he first neo just gets all into the fight instead of talking first. besides all that slow motion stuff is cool in the first one but the 2nd and 3rd got a lil old for me.

3) The Decent

this is by far the movie that gave me a heart attack in the teature. this movie mad me jump a lot and like scarface the women in this movie were s8 gangsta man killin all them lil monsters and stuff. and there never was a dull moment in the movie.
