I think I gave up on Born on the Fourth of July before I got to the end (maybe I did see it to the end, I don't remember anymore - I do remember some of the parts where he's at a protest in his wheelchair later on "People say if you don't love America then get the hell out. Well, I love America and I'm not leaving" or something like that) and only saw the last part of Any Given Sunday, so I guess I'd have to give it to the only OS movie I've seen the whole thing of, which was Alexander. It was okay, and Rosario Dawson is HAWT, but having not seen any other OS movies I have to give it up for that one.

Favorite Albert Hitchcock movie?


North by Northwest.

Go from Vertigo to The Beastmaster in 6 jumps or less?

Scarab Sages Contributor, RPG Superstar 2008 Top 4, Legendary Games

Vertigo starred Barbara Bel Geddes
who was on "Dallas" with Charlene Tilton
who was on "The Love Boat" with Gavin Macleod
who was on "The Love Boat" with Tanya Roberts
who was in the Beastmaster

Or, for almost all movies rather than TV:

Barbara Bel Geddes was in Vertigo
and was also on "Dallas" with Linda Gray
who was in Oscar with Ornella Muti
who was in Flash Gordon with Timothy Dalton
who was in The Living Daylights with Desmond Llewellyn
who was in A View to a Kill with Tanya Roberts
who was in The Beastmaster

If no TV shows are allowed, the question stands.

I am going with Sheryl Crow and Tomorrow Never Dies. Its my least favorite Bond everything. No scratch that the one with Halle Berry is the worst Bond movie but Tomorrow never dies is right behind it.

Mr. Dark, in Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Favorite non-Monty Python movie featuring a Monty Python alum (including their role in the movie)?

A Fish Called Wanda, with John Cleese as a bumbling lawyer, and Michael Palin as an animal-loving bank-robber.

Come to think of it... favourite Monty Python-movie?

Life of Brian
Favorite of the 'classic epic movies'?


Would you care to more narrowly define the question.

My initial answer is The Great Escape.

If this answer is acceptable, then:

Favorite character from The Great Escape AND favorite other movie that actor was in.

For example, Blythe the Forger, Halloween.

Super Mario Bros. Bob Hoskins still haven't recovered.

Favourite non-dystopian science-fiction movie set in our own solar system?


I was going to say Demolition Man, but that was pretty dystopian despite being a comedy, so I guess I'll have to pass.
Question stands.


For dystopian I would have answered with Equilibrium

but for non I guess Blade Runner

I dont know the whole thing was so corny even for a Bond film. I did enjoy it it was Bond after all.

"No -- I expect you to die!"

James Bond movies are ALL ABOUT being cornball. They pretty much always have been. Diamonds are Forever has the cutesy psycho pool-party girls. Moonraker has a Star Wars laser gun fight in space and a guy with metal teeth. I could go on all day!

Wow. That's like asking what's your favorite way to be kicked in the balls with a steeled toe boot.

Can you even call what Uwe Bol does filmmaking? I guess if you can legitimately call FATAL an RPG you can.

I have unwillingly sat through 3 uwe Bol movies and if I have it my way I will sit through no more. Of those movies Dungeon Siege was the one that least made me want to PUNCH A HOLE IN THE UNIVERSE for committing a crime against SANITY in allowing these movies to exist.

Favorite Ray Liotta film?

Hannibal - Is it me, or does his lobotomy in the movie seem like it is his natural state of acting?

Which is your favorite "Hannibal the Cannibal" movie.

Nah, Ray Liotta is a pretty solid actor. He's pretty damn great in Something Wild and Goodfellas (which are my two favorite films of his).

I'm torn on the Hannibal the Cannibal thing because while I really like Silence of the Lambs I think that Brian Cox is EXCELLENT as Lektor in Michael Mann's MANHUNTER. It's because he seems so reasonable and normal that when he does what he does in the scene after he meets with Will Graham makes him so much more horrific.

Despite the fact that I dont think that Brett Ratner is much of a filmmaker I also liked Red Dragon.

But to answer your Question I'd have to go with Silence of the Lambs as my favorite.

Yeah, I always thought Hopkins was too over-the-top Broadway theatrical to be convincing. Cox as Lecter scared the hell out of me.

I also agree Manhunter was the best Hannibal.

Shin, the question is in your court.


Favorite movie with Scott Glenn? (Mine being a toss up between a movie he did with Frankenhiemer called The Challenge (with Toshiro Mifune) and Silverado)

I remember that movie. I liked it, athough the very end made little sense.

That being said, I like his portrayal of Henry Jones Sr.

Scarab Sages Contributor, RPG Superstar 2008 Top 4, Legendary Games

I've never seen the "Sean in a big diaper" movie and I probably never will. Nonetheless, Mr. Hitdice has the question. Bring it on!

The Man Who Would Be King, no question about it -- that movie is awesome!


That was in no way a serious answer (probably would have said Marnie) but here goes:

Ill say Stand by Me based on the body a short by Stephen King.

First movie you ever purchased on VHS?


I think it was A Life Less Ordinary - my first glimpse of Cameron Diaz, in an assymetric swimsuit, walking along a swimming pool. Rrrow!

Last movie you purchased on VHS?


To Kill A Mockingbird.
(It was for a school teaching project... it was a complete waste of time and personal funds given the school promptly got rid of VHS players afterwards.)

Favorite Black and White film?

It's a wonderful life.

Yes I am a sap and I know it.

As an out-of-sequence comment, I liked the movie of Hunt for Red October better than the book, perhaps because I saw it before reading it.

  • Michael Mann's Last of the Mohicans (1992)
  • David Cronenberg's The Dead Zone (1983) -- with Chris Walken!
  • Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980)

    Just to name three. It's coincidence that two of them are from Stephen King books, because most King book adaptations on film just SUCK.

  • See, I saw the kubrick version of THE SHINING before I read the book and loved it. Then I read the book in 10th Grade and now I completley discard the movie.

    I did a bunch of Agatha Christie when I was younger, but all I really remember is the book Ten Little Indians and some Hercules Poirot scenes. But, since no one else is going to answer:

    Murder on the Orient Express

    What's your favorite Lumet film?

    Interesting. I saw the movie, thought it was just OK, read the book and loved it, then saw the movie again and said, "Wow, this is way better than I remember it being!" Stuff like the steady-cam tracking of the Big Wheel, and the creepy little girls, or the fact that Nicholson is always in front of a mirror or other reflective surface when he sees ghosts (and then finally the "REDRUM" in the mirror that Shelly Duvall sees) -- these are things you can't capture in print even if you wanted to. Kubrick changed the story a lot in order to focus on the actors' stengths and the visual medium, and it works.

    And besides, the movie has Scatman Crothers in it, which automatically makes it better than the book!

    12 Angry Men -- I'm a sucker for Henry Fonda movies, and I thought Serpico sort of dragged and didn't really showcase what Pacino could do as an actor.

    .
    Favorite Pacino scene, in any movie?
    Mine is when he and DeNero pull off the highway in Heat and hang out at the diner. The rest of that movie I could take or leave.

    Scarab Sages Contributor, RPG Superstar 2008 Top 4, Legendary Games

    I enjoyed his "Eff You, God" speech in The Devil's Advocate.

    Favorite superheroic scene in a superhero movie (as in, scene of them doing SUPERHERO stuff, not other romantic, comedic, or character development things they do in their secret identity).


    So... sick... of... superhero/comic book... movies...


    Sorry, just the glut of them in recent years is starting to get to me! Pray continue with the thread, good sirs!
