Lame topic i know, but bored and couldn't think of anything better.

So, what are everyone's [B]top 2 movies and why[/B]?

Personally it'd have to be

1. fight club
2. the matrix

simply because i love mindfuck movies. both make you think, and as i hadnt read the book first, and can be pretty thick[most of the time] i didnt see the whole tyler doesnt really exist, thing coming.

I would've made it three, but i can't think of three movies i'd class as top quality, not to me anyway. I'm not expecting fight club as number 1 or even number 2, infact it'd be pretty bad if we could think of nothing else...

So, go for it...

Moving and compelling, both truly cinematic achievements of the grandest spectacle ever known to mankind. Once seen, never forgotten.

- Triumph of the Will
- Buttman does Ben Dover's English Muffins

This is making me spew my coffee onto the screen...the word "muffins" by itself is funny, but just hearing and then saying aloud "buttman does ben dover's english muffins"...hehehe, my god...

Anyway, my two favorite movies have always been Raiders of the Lost Ark and Superman...I guess because now they mostly make me feel like a kid again.

I'll admit it... I dig Chris Reeve as Superman, although "Superman II" was always the best in my book... mostly cause of the baddies from space led by Terence Stamp. Plus the whole storyline about becoming mortal was great, especially when he gets his ass kicked sticking up for Margot Kidder. I get psyched just watching the credits for Superman, true, and I still have a hard time watching any new superhero flick compared to that one... although The Hulk looks bad ass with Eric "Chopper" Bana...

Terence Stamp has one the greatest speeches ever in movie with the first Superman, when he's yelling at Marlon Brando. I know it by heart:

"...yours will a great voice in the new order, second only to my own. I offer you a chance at GREATNESS, Jor-el!! Take it!! JOIN US!! You WILL bow down before me Jor-el, I swear it...no matter if it takes an eternity!!! YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME!!! FIRST YOU, AND THEN ONE DAY...YOUR HEIRS!!!"

Terence Stamp is fucking awesome.

These are kind of knee jerk reactions though, so really I can't say this with 100% confidence.

I like it, too, but oh well.

"Harold and Maude"

Yey. Sideways

Hrm, two I watch the most would probably be the same as Rents, heh. Dammit. Seriously, Trainspotting comes on HBO (or is it cinemax?) all the time. And my friends watch Snatch religiously, so, yeah, heh.

Fight Club & Se7en, I guess, I dunno... I can't pick favorites. I'm incapable of it.

I've always wanted to see Harold and Maude ever since my sociology textbook used it as an example of gender rolebreaking in sexuality. I was like, "Wow. That sounds so gross. Must see." Is it that good?

Gender rolebreaking? Hrm... I guess.

It is incredibly wonderful, though. Great, great, great greatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreat movie. It's definitely helped me out. After I saw that movie, I was fucking giddy as hell for like a week straight, haha. It just makes you feel good. A lot of the "just let go"-ness of Fight Club, except from a totally different angle.

And it's more effective. Cos it's a way to let go that is a bit more feasible. Well, maybe less feasible, depending on the person, I guess.

Well, Wes hates flashy action movies. I can understand that. Simply a matter of different opinions.. I agree to an extent, but I don't think simply being a flashy action movie should instantly mark it as 'bad'.

I understand. My mom thinks the fight scenes looks really cheesy. She doesn't understand that kung fu is the fucking hardest thing in the world to learn.

But it's not all about flashy shit. Ahh whatever. I still love you.

1. Clockwork Orange
2. Requiem for a Dream
(honourable mention) Dr. Strangelove

And now for no good reason of all, retitling of films for the wrong target audience because I'm bored and don't feel like starting a new topic. Feel free to make up your own. Here are two.

1. Pray tell, good sir, have you seen my automobile?
2. Me and Andre shootin' the shit over chicken and waffles
