What kind of movies do you people like?

MOD EDIT : Some of the first few posts have been merged from another similar topic that has now been closed. This thread was originally created by orangephoenix and the first post of the old thread is here.

Although I like all movies Independent films are just so good cause they always have a plot or a moral, ya know? Instead of how some movies are just pointless. (Like "You Got Served")

I completely i agree! that movie had no point!
Hey...what did you think of Mystic River? Did you like it?
I like alot of movies as i'vs said before, but i agree that there are some that are just so pointless!

I have yet to see Mystic River, but I hear it's very good.

It is a very good movie. I really like it. I like Sean Penn. After i saw him in "I am Sam" I have loved his acting. And this movie was fantastic to me...great acting went on. What do you think of the younger actresses these days..like Hillary Duff, or Raven...to me i like Dakota Fanning. She had already been in many great films and i just saw this preview for this new film she is in. It is with Robert Deniro(Who i love) and Dakota's hair is long and black. It didn't show much in the preview but by what i saw it looks like a horror and it seems as though Dakota's character knows something...like a future seeir or something and Robert's Character needs her help...it looks pretty good..by they way..have you seen Man on Fire yet?

I'm just wondering but err why are LOTR and Pirates of the Caribbean in their own categories? lol.

Has anyone watched the whole movie of Monster (with Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci).

mmm haven't seen Man on Fire, didn't appeal to me.

Monster is a good movie, really well done. Haven't seen Mystic River, and I loved Man on Fire... just got the dvd the other day, haven't had a chance to watch it again yet though.

Dakota Fanning is one of my favorite actresses, and her new movie (the one halfbloodprincess mentioned) Hide and Seek will almost definetely be awesome. Its a thriller I believe, and lol, dakota looks really creepy with dark hair. Very mature, and very weird :-P

I read the descrip on IMDB and well, yeah the movie sounds like it'll be awesome. Sean Penn is great too, I loved him (and Dakota) in I am Sam and Sean in 21 Grams.

But why's the Rum gone?! I love POTC but i love HP more

i love loveactually
and everything else.
but harry potter beats out everything else.
so does love actually.

Yeah, I am looking forwrd to Hide and Seek and i have Man on Fire on DVD to. And i have seen monster. Brillaint acting by everyone.
And i so agree...HP beets out everything else in the end...but i still like these other movies.
And yeah, i cried when i saw i am sam for the first time to. Can you belive that is Dakota's first movie? I am sure one day ppl will be looking back on it when she is as famous as Meryll Streep to see how she started out! LOL!
Man on Fire really hasn't been in your theaters yet? It is already on DVD here!
HP rocks!

Joeshmoe, i have them in thier own catoegories because believe it or not some ppl dont like Lotr or Potc! It shocks me to. I love those movies! LOL!

So I started this topic to discuss our favorite movies. Of course one of mine is the Harry Potter series, but I also LOVE Miracle. Dunno why, I'm not attached to hockey in any way, the movie was just too real and inspiring I s'pose. Plus it has a good soundtrack lol.

hmm Well, all of the HP films, A Little Princess, directed by Alfonso Cuaron, and (this might not count) but Beauty and the Beast done by Disney (the very first animated one)

I love so many movies! I like: HP, Lord of the Rings, Kill Bill Volume 1&2, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, the Last Samurai, Star Wars, Big Fish, any movie by Michael Moore, and every comic book movie except Dare Devil and the Hulk. There are a lot more but those are all I can remember as of right now.

hmm I also like:
Monsters Inc. (I know its considered a kiddies movie but too bad, I like it anyways! )
The Terminal- It was alright I don't love it but it still was good
ummmm like I said there are plenty other I just can't think of them right now...

Hear, hear! taks... *high five*

I absolutely love Monster Inc. (and that's say something about kiddie movie considering my age, eh? Who cares! It'a a movie for all ages...it's a family movie... Boo!! Kitty!! )

Oh, The Terminal is awesome too!! Tom Hanks is so convincing (sp?) in it!!
And Zeta-Jones in it too!!

Hey, what about erm...Ever After, Sense and Sensibility and some old one...Back to the Future (still watching it sometimes! The idea of making that story still amaze me... ) and oh, Indiana Jones series!

Aw, yes, Monsters Inc was awesome........my friends and I got all sad at the end when Boo opened the door and 'Kitty' was gone, that was so sad.......Finding Nemo was cute although the idea of vegetarian sharks still baffles me.

Ever After was good (thats the Cinderella type one with Drew Barrymore right?)
I like 50 First Dates alao

My favorite movies, as you may guess, are Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. They are the most awesome movies and stories ever on this Earth. I have to say that I frankly like them a whole lot better than Harry Potter. Harry Potter is my 6th favorite movie, if even that.

Pirates of the Caribbean also rocks. Some movies that are slightly funny as comedy movies (though I like action/adventure a whole lot better than comedy) are Father of the Bride and Legally Blonde. Though I think that Legally Blonde is really very almost incredibly stupid. It doesn't require any concentration. Movies have to include some complexity to make them cool and Intense.

Anyways, that's basically it. LOTR and Star Wars Rocks!

I love Ewan McGregor movies ::blushes:: Moulin Rouge is my all time favorite, Baz Lurhmann is a genius. But I like Trainspotting too.

Mystic River is really good! It depresses me though, the irony of it all. But you should watch it! Take out your bootlegged dvd zyra and watch it lol.

I must say that directors of movies don't really matter to me now, since I haven't seen enough movies by certain directors to really know how good they are and how they create their movies etc etc. I look for genre: mostly I like comedies and action/ adventure.

Hmmmmmm this topic is dying......so today, I pose a new question:

What is everyone's favorite sports movie??

MOD Note: Please don't double post, just hit the 'Edit' button. This goes for everyone, I'm not just going at orangephoenix.

Hmm, I don't really watch Sports movies but..:
Miracle seemed good from the little I saw (it was playing while I was on an airplane)
Drumline was good (that doesn't count does it? have to watch it again sometime)
I have never seen Remember The Titans before, although parts of it were filmed at my old school...

Oo Pirates of the Carribean was really good (I know thats not a sports movie )
Another good, non-sports, movie is Ladder 49, it (literailly) just came out though. Its about firemen, basically its the 1 fireman looking back on his life. Its rated PG-13 for language and such though. Its not the best but it is a tear-jeaker.

i dont really have a genre of what kind of movies i like. i like all different kinds of movies for differnet reasons

I am not into sports.

However... I like...
Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter (hmm... surprise!)
The Princess Bride
What's Up, Doc? (Streisand movie. completely hilarious)
Waking Ned Devine (great Irish comedy)
The Emperor's New Groove
Disney's Robin Hood (primarily for Prince John)

So I guess that makes it mostly epics and comedies. Heh. A bit of a gap there.

the best sports movie ive seen lately is friday night lights.
it was so incredibly good.

Was it really that good? All of the cheerleaders at my school (Note: I'm not a cheerleader, I haven't seen it yet) went to see it to celebrate the end of the end of football season (for us, we lost too many games to make it to the play-offs). They said it was really good.

i lilke LOTR and HP and POTC
lord of the rings, harry potter and pirates of the caribean.

Ooh! Ooh! I just remembered another movie that I really like: Return to Me. That makes one romatic comedy for me, lol. I always crack up when the irritating lady asks for bottled water- "preferably French". HAH.

Lol you get into your movies kalondo don't you? Heehee.

I liked POTC (that confused me for a second but then I read on and said, "Oh! I get it!) from the little I saw- we watched it the last few days of Algebra classes (best lesson plan ever!).
I love comedies too, they crack me up, and I like especially going with a big group of friends 'cause then we're never able to stop laughing it's so fun.
Ooohh there's good movies coming out this holiday season! Too bad there's no Harry Potter stuff , I could annoy my friends by recalling parts of it constantly . I want to see Christmas with the Kranks and Series of Unfortunate Events....oh yeah that'll rock .

I like Pirates of the Caribbean, but I LOVE chick flicks. Tee hee.

I like action-packed movies! I like movies which have Jackie Chan in them! The latest one I watched was The New Police Story, it was action-packed and very sad(a heart touching movie). Moreover it had Nicholas Tze in it and as well as Daniel Wu. I love martial arts movies especially the one that has Kung-Fu and Taekwondo.

I haven't seen Around the World In 80 days yet,hmph!

Ok, I liked: POTC, Don't Say a Word, A Christmas Story, [lol] Mean Girls [lol] and a whole bunch of other movies. It would take too long to type them all.

hmm.. here are a few
-POTC-Johnny Depp AND orlando bloom !

-all harry potter movies
-Big Fish
-Shrek 1 and 2
-MULAN-"Let's get down to business/to defeat the huns"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just finish watching 'Small Soldier'. I've always like that movie. Kristen Dunst is still young then... among the Gorgonites, I particularly like 'Slamfist'... with his line "I'm seasick already..." when they just getting aboard a ship on their mission to find Gorgon... hah!! he's so cute....

The Patriot with Mel Gibson was a really good war-action film. I can't think of any of my other favorite movies at the moment.

I have so many movies that I absolutely love. As you can tell, the holidays are almost upon us and my favorite movie of the moment is ELF with Will Ferrell! "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." It's such a great movie!
