[Renneh]

I have loads, but I won't name them all.

Pan's Labyrinth
Titanic (I never used to like it much but then I matured and it made me a bit tearful when I watched it, it deserves to be on my list for emotionally moving me)
Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Stardust
The Fox And The Hound
Peter Pan
Schindler's List (MASTERPIECE! Just simply amazing).
Memoirs Of A Geisha
Queen Of The Damned

[Horizon]

I don't watch a wide range of movies, really. Just the ones I like. I really like the Star Wars films, the POTC trilogy and the LOTR trilogy to name a few. But my all time favourite film is Gladiator. It is simply epic, the ending just sells it for me ("I will see you again. But not yet."). I have always been interested in Roman culture and it's history.

[Aegis]

1) Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
2) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
3) Star Wars Episode Three

A lot of people don't like FF: tSW, but I think it's awesome XD I watch it all the time when I just want something going in the background, it never gets old for me.

[Spectrum]

Kill Bill: Both parts. One of the most enjoyable movies I've ever watched. ♥
The Matrix: First one only, the sequels weren't as good.
The Day After Tomorrow: I... really don't know why. o_O Guess I'm a sucker for apocalyptic movies with cool effects.

[Asura Nirosuki]

Film:
Secret Garden
City Of God
Pan's Labyrinth

Animated:
Horton hears a who
Polar Express
Mononoke-hime

Lost In Translation
This was the movie got me into Sofia Coppola. It is undoubtedly one of the best directed movies ever, ever. So add her to Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Japan, the best music selection I've ever heard in a movie, and you've got an award winner. It totally made me cry in the end..

Sin City
Apart from the amazing visual achievement, this is a properly well written film. The director, Robert Rodriguez (who has a deminished reputation imo because of the "What were they thinking?" movies, like Spy Kids and the other one with the fish boy and fire girl >_<) had the challenged of still maintaining the comic book's visuals while keeping it in motion. And he pulled it off brillliantly.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2
It is a tricky thing, these movies. Technically, they are rediculous. The amount of blunt violence alone would make it hard for most people to say it is a genuinely good movie. But it is. Uma Thurman totally nailed it, and I'm sure had a blast doing it too. There are also moments of brilliance, most notably the last few sequences.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
One of my more serious favourites. Another fantastic direction, and a stunning storyline. Also, a very surprising performance by Jim Carrey. =O Who would've thought he could pull off a drama so effortlessly, let alone as a total introvert character.

Spirited Away
This was probably the first taste I had as a child of proper anime. Back then I couldn't understand most of it, obviously, but I saw it again a while ago and it totally stole my heart. While it is a hard story to explain to others, since it sounds very generic, it manages to capture your attention whenever you walk into it.
I recommend it to anyone.

[monetmelly]

star wars episode 4,5,6. those are the best movies. 1,2,3 can stay on the shelf

[PH House]

All of the Star Wars films: Purely an epic set of films. The series has an excellent storyline with a great blend of politics, philosophy, and science fiction. Overall, it puts a person's mind to great use and really makes one think outside the box. The special effects are AMAZING and the fight scenes are great. The music is also beautiful. Furthermore, it has a large number of likable characters. Anakin/Darth Vader is by far one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Basically, he was a good person who cared about bringing peace and freedom to the galaxy, but was clouded by the pain and suffering that lurked within his heart. His thoughts, feelings, and character flaws were all realistic to me, and I for one can understand why he went down the path of the Sith. However, in the end, he sacrificed himself to protect his son, which in turn brought balance to the force. In that act of love, he redeemed himself and went from being one of the galaxy's greatest villains to a true hero.

Unlike the majority, I prefer Episodes I - III to IV - VI. Luke's story did not interest me nearly as much as Anakin's. In fact, I find Luke as a character to be irritating. Basically, he went from being a whinny and immature kid to a dark figure simply because he learned Vader was his father. If you ask me, his character development was lousy, since he only changed because he learned his father was a dark bad-*** and (as such) felt the need to become that way as well. Overall, I prefer to see characters change for reasons other than, "Oh, he or she is blood related to me, so I should wear a demeanor just like his or her's!" I am just glad Vader, Palpatine, R-2D2, C-3PO, Chewbacca, and Boba Fett were there to keep me amused.

And the Han x Leia romance, which EVERYONE seems to like? I despise it. For starters, with a few exceptions, I dislike love-hate relationships, since most of them only revolve around childish bickering and shallow sexual tension. This is the case with Han and Leia's romance. Not only was it annoying, but it also felt very rushed and poorly written. I much prefer the Anakin x Padme romance. It seemed more natural to me. I cannot say I dislike Han and Leia together, though, since if it were not for them becoming a couple, Jacen from Star Wars: Expanded Universe (one of my favorite Star Wars characters) would never have been born XD

Robot Monster: The worst film ever made, but that is why it is one of the best. Ro-Man's bad costume (a gorilla suit and an underwater helmet), the poor set, the toy dinosaurs, and the bubble machine are all made of win. Every time I watch this movie, I cannot stop laughing. It is bad to the point of being hilarious.

Big Daddy: One of my childhood favorites. A truly humorous movie.

Silent Hill: Overall, I feel that this film is a good adaptation of the game series. In fact, it even improves on some of its aspects, such as replacing Harry from the first game with a more likable lead character and making Cybil a class A bad-ass.

So, yeah. A horror film with an excellent plot, great characters, and monsters galore. Truly awesome.

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Very entertaining movie with a nice story, wonderful characters, an awesome soundtrack, and outstanding effects. I look down on anyone who views it negatively.

I am Legend: An action packed horror film with excellent effects that takes place in Manhatten. Overall, this is an awesome zombie flick, WAY better than the piss poor Resident Evil trilogy.

Disney's Peter Pan: What can I say? I love the Elegant Captain Hook in all his gay glory, along with his "I top-from-the-bottom" flaming cabin boy, Smee. They are what make this film GREAT, not Peter, Wendy, and the Lost Boys (though the horny Crocidle and Tinkerbell are pretty cool, too).

Disney's Peter Pan Return to Neverland: The return of Captain Hook and Smee. What more can I say? In this film, we even discover that Captain Hook wears fake eye-lashes and get to see a picture of him in drag (that was NOT his mother, damn it).

Disney's Beauty and the Beast: I like this film. It has a good story with a deep message: true beauty lays within, not on the exterior. It also has many memorable characters. Belle, Beast, Lumiere, Chip, Mrs. Potts... They are all great.

[Excellent]

it's too hard for me to pick favorites, any of the star wars movies, LOTR, james bond, all those i love.

[Briareus]

This is in no particular order.

Pan's Labyrinth - The movie was extremely (and sometimes overly) violent, but the story was good and strong, if not too depressing.

Little Miss Sunshine - This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It actually has a good sense of humor and it's plot is pretty realistic. Now I'm not saying to make movies exactly like this, but Hollywood could learn a few things from this movie.

The Blair Witch Project - While not exactly terrifying, it's creepy due to the fact that you never truly see what's after the protaginst, letting your own imagination do the scaring. To me this is actually one of the scariest movies of the past ten years, in my opinion. Today's slasher/thriller film aren't even in the same league as this move, only trying to improve on how realistic things look instead of the quality of the scares.
