411 Movies Feedback: What is Your Favorite Movie?
Posted by Chad Webb on 06.20.2009
The movie-zone feedback continues. Share your opinion with 411!
Even though the argument could be made that movies are getting worse, the fact is that every year movies are released that thrill and inspire audiences. That raises 411's Movie Feedback question...
What is your favorite movie?
For me, my favorite film has not changed in many years. It is The Shawshank Redemption, starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. I remember watching it for the first time over at a friend's house, and he felt the need to provide commentary on the twists in case I didn't understand. Despite this annoyance, that film struck a chord in me that few films have achieved since. It represents everything I love about film, and it caused an obsession of prison movies since then. To me, one's favorite movie is one that you can watch over and over again, but it never gets old.
So what about you? What is your favorite movie? How many times has your favorite movie changed over the years? What was it like when you watched it the first time?

The Stoned Age. One of the most quotable movies EVER.
Posted By: Steve307 (Guest) on June 19, 2009 at 10:50 PM
A Few Good Men. I love this movie the comedy that's not over the top and the seriousness. Of course the great lines that will be used forever like you want me on that wall you need me on that wall. You can't handle the truth.

I get ripped on every time someone asks me, but my personal fav of all time is Scream. Im a fan of all the actors/actresses in the movie. It was also the first real "scary movie" I remember watching.

JFK. Even if you don't agree with it, you can't doubt how, in 3+ hours, you never once lose your fascination in such an epic story with such amazing characters.

Lonesome Dove - greatest mini series, greatest western, greatest epic, greatest story ever told, All Star Cast.
Posted By: andi (Guest) on June 20, 2009 at 12:07 AM
Fight Club.
I remember watching this many years ago when I was younger, and thinking the twist was the greatest thing ever. But then I watched it a year or so ago, and absolutely loved every aspect of it. I just feel like the films speaks to me in ways others do not. Plus Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are two of my favourite actors. I think I've watched the film five times, and I could watch it again, and again, and still enjoy it as much as the last time.

Indiana Jones Series , Raiders being the best one IMO .
Posted By: HBK (Guest) on June 20, 2009 at 01:38 AM
Slumdog Millionaire is the work of an artist at the peak of his powers. India is Boyle’s palette, and Mumbai – that teeming “maximum city,” with 19 million strivers on the make, jostling, scheming, struggling, and killing for success – is his brush. The portrait that emerges has been executed with bold strokes, vivid colors, and striking images. It would have stayed in the mind’s eye a long time .
Honorable mentions -
Titanic
Star wars

Silence of the Lambs

As a whipper-snapper it was He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword. It's no lie when I say I've seen that movie over 100 times.
Nowadays it's definitely The Shawshank Redemption, with Glory and Forrest Gump not too far behind.

Rocky II, its basicly the same as Rocky I ecxept he wins in the end, and being a kid when I first watched the movies, it was better than losing (of course now I realize the significance of the original Rocky, but its one of those things that you see as a child and forever sticks with you)

Nice to see a thread without hate as yet.
3)The Lion King- Barring Toy Story, this was THE animated movie for my generation. I I could quote the entire movie when I was 7. Still can.
2)The Dark Knight- I've been a Batman fan since I was 2, and this move reminded me why.
1) Pulp Fiction- cliched answer thou it may be, this film is the reason I now want to make movies. I find something new every time I watch it, and I look forward to viewing #137.

True Romance a 1993 American romantic crime film directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino. It stars Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette with an ensemble cast; Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Val Kilmer,Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Penn, Tom Sizemore Bronson Pinchot Michael Rapaport and James Gandolfini It is billed as a "love story", albeit an unconventional one, as the plot revolves around drugs and violence. Clarence Worley (Slater) and Alabama Whitman (Arquette) attempt to start a new life for themselves using cocaine stolen from Alabama's former pimp and find themselves on the run from the Mafia, ending in a dramatic double-crossing when the police get involved.
True Romance was a breakthrough of sorts for Tarantino. It was his first screenplay, and he had hoped to direct the movie himself, but ended up selling the script.

I used to say Monty Python and the Holy Grail both because I love the movie and because the memories I have of watching it at every swim team party we had.
However, I've come to realize my favorite movie has changed.
Clerks.
Both for the movie and for the story behind how it was made. It motivates me to pursue my own dreams.

Rocky is my all time favorite movie. I'm known for it. My walls are covered with Rocky Posters, rocky pictures, everything Rocky. While I am a big fan of all 6 Rocky films (Yes, even V) I set the first two apart as being the best, but if there is one that I can watch over and over it's 'Rocky'. Makes me feel better when I'm down, and it has an endless supply of life lessons, that I form my life around. I even wear similar clothes. Yes, thta's a bit excessive, but hey, it's my favorite movie.
Posted By: Joe (Guest) on June 20, 2009 at 01:02 PM
When younger I loved "Harold & Maude." An incredible dark comedy with a soundtrack by Cat Stevens. Now, I'd say "Chinatown" is at the top of my list. It has a tight script, great performances and a great soundtrack.

There are a few that do have a special place in my heart. I couldn't choose between them but one that does stick out at present is Eyes Wide Shut. I LOVE that movie. Everything about it to me is incredible. AND it introduced me to to Jocelyn Pook. AMAZING musician! She is is responible for the music in the "mansion scenes". That actually caught my attention more than what was going on on the screen. But yeah, an incredible movie.

depending on what kind of pretentious I'm feeling at the moment, I usually say either High Fidelity or American Beauty.

The Godfather Parts I & II will always be tops for me as a complete narrative. I don't and will never include Part III in such discussion.
Others in no particular order:
The Dark Knight (or for those who truly love it, "The Passion of Harvey Dent")
V for Vendetta
Jaws
Clerks
Dirty Harry
Seven Samurai
Once Upon a Time in the West
Snatch
Lost in Translation

Usually I get caught up with whatever is great in the moment, and I go with what is my favorite movie right now. Recently Dark Knight, Iron Man and the new Star Trek have all held the top spot.
But all time--Tombstone.
Posted By: Guest#5636 (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 11:03 AM
Singin in the Rain. It's a fucking classic and it's pretty much perfection when looked upon on the screen.
Posted By: Rant Casey (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 11:30 AM
Star Wars:A New Hope... has been since I was a little kid.. first movie I ever saw in the theatre and still the classic. Only The Crow and When Harry Met Sally come close IMHO.
Posted By: Rayne (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 11:50 AM
The Dark Knight, Rocky, Empire Strikes Back and Lord of the Rings. The Dark Knight took everything good about Begins and made it almost flawless. Everyone dived into their roles and gave 100%. Aaron Eckhart and Heath Ledger are considered to be the two who took this movie to another level. It was the comic book movie that transcended the genre. Batman finally was dark and depressing. In the end Nolan had the balls to not give us a happy ending and to this day I love that decision. Because in the end Batman does not have happy endings. Rocky is a no brainer. The underdog from Philly who just wants to go the distance against a cocky champion who seems unbeatable. Two moments in this movie give me chills. One is before the fight when Rocky goes the empty arena, a real arena and not some dump or gym. He walks around and stares at the arena almost like to get ready for the fight. The other part is the near the end of the fight when he starts gaining an advantage against Apollo and the music kicks in and Creed realizes he has a fight on his hands. The other two movies are no brainers.
Posted By: JM (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 12:22 PM
Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Jaws, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
My top 5.
Posted By: Bubba (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 12:41 PM
Ghostbusters.
Posted By: Joel Yeomans (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 12:56 PM
The Empire Strikes Back.
And an earlier commenter(s) named Army of Darnkess. I just saw that movie, and am a fan of Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. I knew going in that the movie was supposed to be campy, but it went into cheese territory and just kinda sucked. Evil Dead 2 is the superior movie of the series, hands down.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Fight Club
Rocky II
Youngblood (haven't seen this for decades, maybe it's not as good as I remember it)
There have been a lot of great movies, it'll be fun reading comments on this.
Posted By: Serp (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 03:12 PM
my favorite film of all time would have to be Jaws, It's Wonderful Life, and To Kill A Mockingbird. Three of them got me into movies and one probably saved my life from being depressed and stuff. To Kill a mockingbird is so great to watch all due to Gregory Peck.
That's IMO
Posted By: Guest (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 04:20 PM
My absolute, all-time favorite is hands down "The Lord of the Rings"
There's a tie for 2nd place between...
The Dark Knight; King Kong; Saving Private Ryan; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; The Departed; The Shawshank Redemption; Blade Runner; Pan's Labyrinth; The Matrix; Apocalypse Now; Raiders of the Lost Ark; Pulp Fiction; Wall-E; The Empire Strikes Back; Terminator 2; No Country for Old Men; The Silence of the Lambs; Iron Man; Young Frankenstein; Star Trek; Evil Dead II; Grindhouse; Batman Begins; Kill Bill; Adaptation; Big Fish; The Wizard of Oz; Bride of Frankenstein; Serenity

my favoritist movie that's not been listed yet is Phone Booth. (yeah, that Colin Farrell movie you and your friends didn't like.)
Posted By: 6d6 (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 04:54 PM
I know it's hard to choose a favorite. Many of you like me are avid film geeks. I love all sorts of movies, but very few stand out as truly exceptional to me. Those films that completely blew me away and changed the way I look at cinema. Honorable mentions are, Apocalypse Now, Kill Bill, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Evil Dead I & II, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Eraserhead.
Above and beyond any movie I've ever seen my number one choice is Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Before seeing it I had never heard of it or Kubrick. I had heard the name and that it had a reputation as being a dangerous film. I remember renting it on VHS in around 2000 or 2001 watching it and being dumbfounded. This film was disturbing, it was bizzar, it was funny and it was unlike anything I had ever seen.
The first thing I did was call all my friends to tell them what I had just seen. Since then I've watched it a thousand times and I've seen it on the big screen 5 times at midnight showings and what not. I'll never tire of it and it will never be replaced as my all time favorite movie, because nothing else will ever affect me the way that movie did.
Posted By: CM Putnam (Guest) on June 21, 2009 at 04:55 PM
The original "Halloween". It will ALWAYS be my favourite.

Memento. Can watch it over and over and continue to see new things. Unbelievable in its story and scope.
Note: I disqualified any Star Wars films cos I view each one as part of a larger whole. I love Star Wars, by the way.
