Lord of the Rings - book and movie
Star Wars (4 and 6)
Indiana Jones
Lethal Weapon
Forrest Gump

Chevy Chase and Billy Crystal are supposed to be funny... but they're really boring. Robin Williams is funny.

My absolute favorite film ever is 'The Time Bandits' by Terry Gilliam

This is a hard one for me because I like a lot of movies, but my favorite changes often. I guess I would have to say that my favorites are the old John Wayne Westerns. Those will never die on me.

LOtR

I think Nicholas Cage and Keanu Reeves are the worst actors ever. There's so much hype around Nicholas Cage, but he acts like the same dry person in every movie. No matter what role he's in, you always know how he's going to act and sound.

We should hang out!
I don’t understand the Cage hype, I cannot even think of a good movie he was in. It still amazes me he can find work. And don't get me started on Keanu...

I really liked Amelie. I thought it was very creative and loved the story.

I have a lot of favs too... so it's a hard one. I also really liked What Dreams May Come... with Robin Williams. Hmmmm.... what else.... I loved the first Matrix (not really the last 2) LOL... I don't care if Keanu can act or not.... he is HOT!!!!!

Best Movie I have seen with my wife (chick Flick) would have to be Notebook
Best Movie I have seen with my 7 year old (kids) would have to be the new Cars movie.
I like movies with action, old and new war movies. Hard to pick just one.
Worst movie ever was Fargo. GEEZ!

[dandestroy]

1st matrix
LOTR

but my absolute favorite is The piano (the war movie)

[RyanH]

The Best: The Empire Strikes Back

Honorable mention: Schindlers List
The Godfather
Dead Poets Society
Pretty much any movie made by the Coen Brothers ( Raising Arizona, O'Brother Where Art Thou?, The Big Lebowski, etc.)

The Worst: Natural Born Killers

Dishonorable mention: About Schmidt
Battlefield Earth
Superman III & IV

Since I love bad movies, the best and worst categories sort of overlap. My favorite, of course, is the immortal "Plan Nine from Outer Space." It manages to be utterly incompetent without a dull moment, which is a unique combination. Other classic turkeys are "The Giant Claw" featuring the most ridiculous monster in movie history (a giant antimatter buzzard from "some God-forsaken galaxy"), and "Robot Monster", featuring a guy in a gorilla suit with a deep-sea diving helmet on his head.

In addition to "Plan Nine", Ed Woods made a number of other films, all of which are just as bad, and incoherent to boot. Possibly the most mind-boggling is the transvestite classic "Glen or Glenda".

Also highly recommended are the Mystery Science Theatre episodes. The worst I have seen so far is "Manos: The Hands of Fate", although "Eegah" is a close runner-up.

OK here goes:

Scifi/horror-Empire Strikes Back
Dawn of the Dead (2005)
Mad Max (but with the Max Facts Rolling)

Drama/Action-Saving Private Ryan
Hunt for Red October
Fight Club

Thats all I can think of right now...

I don’t understand the Cage hype, I cannot even think of a good movie he was in. It still amazes me he can find work.

FYI, Cage is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola. It helps (a lot) to be connected in showbiz. :p

Great to see so many liking LOtR as their favourite movies, as you all know the director Peter Jackson is a New Zealander. He does us proud.

I'm going to stick up for Keanu Reeves and Nicholas Cage. It's easy for you to judge and try to bring them down because you yourself do not have the fame and money they do. The good thing is you know what to expect when you see their movies as they always bring a certain style to it. Neo couldn't be much cooler, same with Nick. Their acting ability comes in almost a non-acting sense. It's like they're not trying hard and overacting, so it actually makes them more believable. Just my opinion of course.

Best Movie: Dual (Spielberg's first)
2nd Best Movie: The Jerry Springer Movie
Worst Movie: Napoleon Dynamite
