What’s your favorite movie and why?

[CQ Beans]

Donnie Brasco. Great musical score. Tons of dark comedy. Very accurate portrayal of the actual story. Acting is top notch. "I need to EARN!". Hilarious ending which is also true, where the mafia guys laugh at the FBI when they tell them that 'Donnie' was undercover. "Hah! Yeah right. Like Donnie could be a Fed". Oops.

Silence of the Lambs is a close second. Lost of dark comedy with Buffalo Bill. I laugh at the movie because the Pests ruined it by repeatedly calling into Jocktober and enemy radio shows as characters from the movie. I can't watch half the scenes now without thinking of the thousands of Pests that were spamming Scott Ferral's phone lines trying to get on as 'Fred Bimmel' or 'Clarice'.

Apocalypto is another. Hard to just casually watch it like I would just throw on Casino or Predator when I am working or playing games or whatever. But it is one of the greatest movies ever made. I will probably watch it once a year for the rest of my life. "What..?......WHAT?!!". "BLOW ME!!".

Every once in a while I try to sit through Godfather III and I have not been able to finish it. I forced myself a long time ago to get through it in one sitting and it was brutal. You can just tell that all of the actors and actresses are embarrassed by the script. Bridget Fonda was a legit 10/10 back then. What the fuck was Coppola thinking? Other than paying off his debts from his wine business.

The book Donnie Brasco was a slog. Being in the Mafia or around it or whatever is apparently as mundane as being a line cook. Great adaptation and I agree with actors perfect for the part, though.

Anthony Hopkins is a genius and was a great pick for Hannibal. But yeah the endless,’ Was she a great big fat person’ repeats kinda kill it. The sequels weren’t that bad. Just a matter of comparison, I guess.

This is why The Sopranos is great. They spend hours in the show dedicated to Tony and guys sitting around bored to death just fiending for any amount of action. Like when they are all at the pork store and a car accident happens outside. And they leap from their chairs and charge into the streets just to have something to do.

Thinking about it, I would say Marathon Man. Great score, and just a depressing feeling for Dustin Hoffman. Through no fault of his own, he’s put through excruciating torture, and while he’s able to overcome his tormentors, his life is pretty much fucked.

I honestly have a weird six degrees of Kevin Bacon relation ( not familial) to Bruno Kirby’s character who like Lefty didn’t die in real life at least not as portrayed.

As far as the mob goes I guess it’s just as mundane. My father’s uncle was a numbers runner in NYC. He just seemed like a regular guy. He sawbucks me this one time on my birthday,’ Ya got a little of my blood in ya.’

I love how the Sopranos did the exact opposite of what its fans expected. Telephone fights and petty arguments. Just a bunch of glorified gang members. Chase gets so vilified by his fan base for nothing. Alright, I’ve said my piece.

 

[AwfulManTitTankTop]

Jaws. I was obsessed with sharks as a kid and fell in love with the movie right away. But as I got older I never stopped appreciating it. One of those things that really influenced me.

Plus the no work union jobs, they're all just filling their time with addictions to food, gambling, and drugs

 

[Convict Wyzz]

Barry Lyndon
It's long, interesting, and every frame looks like a painting that should hang in the Louvre.
Not unlike my cock. (haaaaaaaaaaaamburger)

I’ll check it out. Your cock, I mean.

Rape.

 

[Patrick O'Neal]

I like movies that are not comedies, but are funny nevertheless. So Trainspotting and Being John Malvovich are up there.

Beautiful movie. Ima go with the assassination of Jesse James by the faggot Jim Norton.

Im a Kubrick Fag but mines the Shining. Bc every time I watch it it's like the first time I've seen it.
Also tied with that is Platoon. When I was a kid I found out I had 5 Nam vets in my family but no one wanted to talk about it, so I'd check out books from the library, and also it just happened that Vietnam: A Television history was replaying on PBS at the same time. So as a 10 year old I read a lot and watched stories of this spooky ass war full of ambushes and jungles and shit. Then I watched platoon at 12 and it made me feel like I was that 10 year old again

The Shining is fucking awesome. Kubrick had this giant hotel that he made feel like a claustrophobic prison. King of course hated it because he’s a stupid hick.

As far as people who are very talented but also enormous faggots go, King has to be right up there.

The Stand book and tv film are great.

The movie I've watched the most is Dune. Not sure why I'm so obsessed with it, but I can pretty much quote the whole movie line for line.

Love Lynch but I thought he botched that bad.

 

[Chive Turkey]

There's a lotta options but I'm probably going to say Boogie Nights or Amadeus as I can just watch those over and over and never get tired of them.

What the fuck was Coppola thinking? Other than paying off his debts from his wine business.

It was literally just that, I think. He'd been pestered to direct a third one for years before and he was broke when he did III.

It might've even been just a mediocre movie on its own if the cash-grab nature of it wasn't compounded by a whole bunch of bizarre casting and script choices. Duvall walking meant they had to rewrite the plot in the ludicrously convoluted one we got, the dialog was terrible, the characters are cartoonish, Sophia Coppola has easily the worst fucking performance I've ever seen in a major production.

The movie's just fucking baffling. It's impossible to watch without thinking about all the mystifying decisions they made. It's like they did half their planning while stoned out of their minds.

Conan the Barbarian because of the pfg soundtrack.

The whole Pine Barrens story started because Paulie was a dick to a guy who paid up no problem.

 

[PickleRickle]

Probably Terminator 2. I cant think of any movie i've thrown on more than that.

The miniseries was great.
