Jamie Uk, being from the UK, have you seen the movie "Green Street Hooligans"? I have yet to meet someone from your neck of the woods that has. It is based in England. It stars Elija Wood. I am not a fan of him but I like the movie. Its a guy flick with a lot of fights

I haven't seen it my friend. I believe it to be about Football hooliganism, which, as a football fan, and a decent human being, is a cause of behaviour I have always deplored. I find the concept of sticking someone with a knife because they support a different sports team completely abhorent, always have done, so, no I never bothered to see it.
I prefer American movies anyway

pulp fiction.

I LOVE that movie! Just popped it in again saturday night, actually. Although, Waking Life is my #1. I could watch that movie every week and still not get tired of it.

Best scene from Pulp Fiction:

Jules: Hey kids! How you boys doin'?
[to man laying on the couch]
Jules: Hey, keep chillin'. You know who we are? We're associates of your business partner Marsellus Wallace. You do remember your business partner don't you? Let me take a wild guess here. You're Brett, right?
Brett: Yeah.
Jules: I thought so. You remember your business partner Marsellus Wallace, don't you, Brett?
Brett: Yeah, yeah, I remember him.
Jules: Good. Looks like me an Vincent caught you boys at breakfast. Sorry about that. Whatcha havin'?
Brett: Hamburgers.
Jules: Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast. What kind of hamburgers?
Brett: Ch-cheeseburgers.
Jules: No, no no, where'd you get 'em? McDonalds? Wendy's? Jack in the Box? Where?
Brett: Big Kahuna Burger.
Jules: Big Kahuna Burger. That's that Hawaiian burger joint. I hear they got some tasty burgers. I ain't never had one myself. How are they?
Brett: They're good.
Jules: Mind if I try one of yours? This is yours here, right?
[Picks up burger and takes a bite]
Jules: Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger. Vincent, ever have a Big Kahuna Burger?
[Vincent shakes his head]
Jules: Wanna bite? They're real tasty.
Vincent: Ain't hungry.
Jules: Well, if you like burgers give 'em a try sometime. I can't usually get 'em myself because my girlfriend's a vegitarian which pretty much makes me a vegitarian. But I do love the taste of a good burger. Mm-mm-mm. You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?
Brett: No.
Jules: Tell 'em, Vincent.
Vincent: A Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese! You know why they call it that?
Brett: Because of the metric system?
Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett! You're a smart motherfucker. That's right. The metric system. What's in this?
Brett: Sprite.
Jules: Sprite, good. You mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down?
Brett: Go right ahead.
Jules: Ah, hit the spot.

My favorite movie of all time is....


2001 A Space Odyssey

Ok, it is not for everyone, I'll admit that. But Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi masterpiece is the pinnacle of filmmaking. The special effects were groundbreaking then and still look good today. The story is extremely complex and thought provoking despite a very limited amount of dialogue. Plus, HAL is one of the great movie villains of all time.

The thing I like about 2001, and all of Kubrick's movies, is how they all seem to be totally off the wall, but don't resort to having a big "oh, now I get it" payoff moment at the end where it all ties together. If you are lost 20 minutes in, you are going to be lost the whole way.

Jim, you’re absolutely right: I am the golden god. I proclaimed this with a smile — and I wasn’t standing on the roof of a house; I was at the top of a palm tree on the night of Bonzo’s [John Bonham’s] birthday in 1972. It was an unfortunate moment, because someone drove across the garden in a Cadillac and wedged it between two palm trees. And I was busy making sure everyone knew exactly who and what I was. I wanted to get it in perspective before the party really started. It was the night that George Harrison karate-chopped Bonzo’s birthday cake, and therefore had to be flung into the swimming pool.'

this one is interesting... dunno how accurate it is though... apparently the airplane scene was in reference to an almost crash when travelling with the who.

Almost Famous.
Cameron Crowe did a awesome job on this film.
If interested you should http://www.imdb.com it. I few Pearl Jam parts. Like McCreedy helping with the main riffs during the concerts.
The little thing the band does together before they go on stage, well they got that from PJ. Pretty cool.
Also it has some truth to it. Crowe did this with the Allman Bros.
He also got the band fighting stories from Zeppelin.

Best movie ever!

Mine too, Sir, mine too!!!

Dead Man. Jim Jarmusch, Neil Young, Johnny Depp...i don't know why exactly but it just works for me like no other. Only movie i can watch over and over again...preferrably alone since most people i know consider it to be too boring.

watch over and over again? it's a long ass slow-paced movie, but it's cool. i loved it! it's so unpredictable and arty, and that's how i like my movies to be

Thanks Helen, I was beginning to think I was going mad. All these bloody Knowitall Americans putting me straight on everything
But then, they do have a different version of most of history to the rest of us
