Best films you have ever seen

The foreign films you have enjoyed

Favorite actors, male and female, now or all time

What genres you really like, those you won't watch, those you can't watch, and the films you enjoy in each one.

Favorite popcorn movies, meaning you love them even if they are not exactly a piece of classic cinema. Example for me, Youngblood.


Anything goes, no predetermined top ten or 5 lists, just whatever you like.


enjoy gaining new knowledge about different kind of films or just bs about what you like



go.
I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

    Sex and Lucia

    Hollywood is good for action and all that stuff, but European cinema blows it out the water in every other area in my opinion. The story to this movie is a bit of a mindbender at first but a great idea and overall brilliant film. Visually one of the most amazing films ive ever seen as well.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    You did?

    I never knew that, geez you would think you would have told me that, knowing what a fan I am as well:p


    LOA,and The Lion in the Winter two more of his films I love.

    I also saw some of Beckett a week or so ago, and need to rent that one, what I saw of it was brilliant, him and Richard Burton.

    Lots of good films here, keep them coming.


    Besides Mr O'Toole some of my other favorite actors include Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant.

    As for the ladies, Carole Lombard will always have my heart, and the two Hepburn's, Audrey and Kate rank right next to her.

    hum, I don't remember, but okay.


    A few films for this late night post


    A Face in the Crowd, Andy Griffth like you have never seen him with Patricia O'neil from 1957.

    The Hustler Paul Newman at his best with Jackie Gleason and George C Scott, and an amazing performance from Piper Laurie in 1961.


    The Cooler a more recent movie with William H Macy, Maria Bello, and a supporting acting gem from Alec Baldwin from 2003


    Finally two films both starring Cate Blanchett who is one of actresses of the present who I quite enjoy.

    Elizabeth from 1998, since the new film is coming out next month, I thought I would mention that one, and a small little film from down under called Oscar and Lucinda with Cate and Ralph Fiennes in 1997.

    Yes it is, it's a long filme just under 3 hours, but if you are a person who like movies, I find it hard to believe anyone would not enjoy it.

    If you have it already, the worse that happens is you wasted your money, or you see one of the best films ever made in my opinion.
