Favourite German film?
Murnau's Nosferatu, in terms of cintematography, is still almost certainly the greatest vampire movie ever made.
I also thought von Donnersmarck's The Lives of Others was nicely done.
Sorry -- I tried to post a question and the boards went down instead.
Q: Three best acting jobs from Bond villains. I don't care if the villain is "cool," or what the movie was; I just care about the skill with which the actor handled the role.

While the movie itself didn't exactly impress, Christopher Lee was still Christopher F-in LEE in The Man with the Golden Gun.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Rosa Kleb and Red Grant from From Russia with Love - true, they weren't the ultimate boss villain, but they were excellent villains.
No love for Yaphet Kotto in Live & Let Die?
Lt. Giardello for-evah!
James Bond sucks.

James Bond sucks.
Of course he does. We just can't say WHAT, cuz this is a family website. We just know he takes his pleasure seriously, so he has got some hardcore game under the covers. Remember, this is a series where he apparently converted Pussy Galore back to sausage by the sheer force of his manly-man-ness!
How about:
Favorite 3 stop-motion-animated monsters?
1. Anything from Wallace and Gromit
2. The Harryhousen skeletons from Jason and the Argonauts
3. King Kong (the original one)
Q: Name 3 CGI-heavy movies that didn't make you want to shove a sharpened #2 pencil through your eye and into your brain.
The 3 Lord of the Rings movies.
Iron Man 2
Going to cheat and include a TV-episode: the 2nd episode of Band of Brothers. No, most of those planes flying over the channel are not real.
Favourite movie about D-Day or the build-up to D-Day.
Sorry, Private Ryan, but it's gotta be The Longest Day, starring every male actor in Hollywood!
That's funny when you know who wrote The Longest Day
Favorite WW2 movie set prior to 1944?
Flame & Citron about two Danish resistance fighters (one played Mads Mikkelsen).
Favourite movie about resistance against an occupying force (in WW2 or some other war)?
Favourite movie about resistance against an occupying force (in WW2 or some other war)?
Inglourious Basterds, even though it's a fictitious resistance against a fictionalized occupation.
Q: Three least favorite male movie leads currently active, and why? (This is guys who get top-billed starring roles, not guys like Steve Buscemi.)

(Surely no-one dislikes Steve Buscemi?)

1. Dicaprio. He seems to play the same character over and over. He also has been trying to take on roles of an older man and he is too boyish for the part.
2. Tom Cruise. The mission impossible movies keep getting made and I dont know a single person who goes to see them. There is something awkward about the way he is that comes through when he acts. Sometimes its really good for his part but often its just weird.
3. Johna Hill. He has joined the Stiller, Wilson, Vaughn club. Meaning he makes one funny movie that everyone remembers for years. He then makes 3-4 movies a year that nobody can even remember.
Runner ups, Russel Brand and Seth Rogen.
q. Three least favorite female leads and why? (Women that get top billing roles not women like Joan Cusak)

1. Angelina Jolie - she has a nice enough body, but other than that I just don't get the appeal
2. Jennifer Aniston - everything she does just seems whiny and annoying
3. Carmen Electra - she looks like she's made out of plastic
(to Pan: I went to see the MI: Ghost Protocol movie last December and I found it very enjoyable. I previously saw MI:1 (meh; not bad, but pretty much every good scene was spoiled in the commercials) and 2 (decent) but not 3.)
I used to be a big DiCaprio hater, but he has sorta grown on me over the years. I liked him in The Aviator and Catch Me If You Can. Tom Cruise I like okay. Jonah Hill has been funny in some movies and boring and one-note in others (and I've avoided most of his movies. Seth Rogen I like, though again he just has his one schtick that he does. Russell Brand I just do not understand the appeal.
But, on to the question:
Top 3 movie scenes that make you feel like you are tripping on some kind of wacky drugs?

I wouldn't say I'm a Dicaprio hater so much as the last bunch of movies I saw him in seem poorly casted. I just couldn't picture the role at least the way he portrays it. He has some great movies too.
MI I dont know it just seems like this franchise ran out of gas 18 years ago or whenever the first one came out. Just doesn't interest me. I cant help but feel these would be better movies if they were made across the pond.
I can agree with your list of leading ladies. However I don't think Carmen has the draw she used to. Russle Brand is god awful the worst thing to hit the pop culture scene in some time.
Top 3 movie scenes that make you feel like you are tripping on some kind of wacky drugs?
1. Naked Lunch, in its entirety. Just about every scene.
2. The car crash and aftermath in Vanilla Sky.
3. Casino full of humanoid lizards in Fear and Loathing.
Q: Favorite three movies with "Cowboy" in the title, and why? (Hint: no reason they should all be westerns. Or even any of them, for that matter.)
Fishing for 1) Midnight Cowboy, Kirth?
...and someone else will have to complete the answer, since that's the only one with "Cowboy" in the title that I can recall watching. :-0

Maybe not for the #1 slot -- I'd personally probably go with something more like
Midnight Cowboy: The Musical Interlude
Also, "that cowboy stuff is strictly for ----."
U.S.-70.
That should have read "U.S.-87" -- I just looked at what I typed and had a "WTF" moment. That should teach me to Google Maps Lubbock in one window while discussing Big Spring on Paizo in another window.
Five favorite Western movie stars?
Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Steve McQueen (Nevada Smith, Magnificent Seven, Tom Horn).
Q: 5 least favorite Western actors?
2. Alan Ladd in Shane. Seriously, I thought that movie was pretty lame. I don't get the big deal.

The only part I liked was when Jack Palance goaded that poor stupid Southern farmer (Elisha Cook) into trying to draw on him. Guy reaches for his gun, looks up, and Palance's pistol is already out and pointed, as if by magic. Farmer lowers his gun.

Yeah, that was the only part I liked, too, and Cook stinks up the whole movie!

Last movie you saw at a Drive In?
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
Age you were the 1st time you got laid at a drive-in? (Extra credit: post what movie was playing, if you even remember.)

23 I think? The movie playing was What's Love Got To Do With It starring Angela Bassett. That was probably the last Drive-In I've ever been to, but so it goes...
I guess my question is: Favorite movie where an abused wife totally kicks the stuffing out of her husband?
Casino.
Favourite movie about Australian gangsters?
