I loved Zoolander!!!
(Guilty admission: I also enjoyed "You Don't Mess with the Zohan.")Tropic Thunder: 10x better than Sherlock Holmes?"
This one is multiple choice:
A) Duh!
B) Nuh uh!
C) Kirth has done lost his mind!
Definitely C, but that's, y'know, other stuff than movies, too...

Moulin Rouge (it's Australian, after all)
Favorite movie with an aircraft carrier.
(P.S. Of the four movies I listed, I think I'd put Young Sherlock Holmes at the top of my list of four Holmes spinoffs/variations. Lots of fun and the OG of CGI creatures, the stained glass knight.)
I can't think of a favorite movie with an aircraft carrier, but I had to share Lagaan. A 4-hour Indian period drama/musical about cricket? I watched it one night, enthralled.
EDIT: O lassie, I have five oxen and three goats and my heart belongs to you!
Top Gun is my favorite movie with an aircraft carrier.
What movie had the best air to air combat?
Best movie swordfight?
Best movie swordfight?
13 Assassins had some amazing swordfighting, but I'd have to give it to Hero (the Jet Li movie)
Best Jackie Chan movie for pure martial arts?
Best movie swordfight?
The one in Princess Bride sort of sets the standard, duddnit?
Favorite Errol Flynn movie?
EDIT: Blast! Ninja'd by the savant!
See my first thought was The Princess Bride, but then I started to think about some of the Japanese and Chinese films I've seen. 13 Assassins had quite possibly the best cinematography of any action movie I've ever seen.
Ice Station Zebra.
Favorite Alastair MacLean adaptation?
Best movie swordfight?
13 Assassins had some amazing swordfighting, but I'd have to give it to Hero (the Jet Li movie)
Best Jackie Chan movie for pure martial arts?
Easily DRUNKEN MASTER II
I liked it in Shanghai Noon when Own Wilson said "I don't know karate, but I know kuh-razy!" Hee hee! James Brown jokes ftw!
We seem to be without a question.
Hmmm.
What actor/actress living or dead, would you burn your Pathfinder books to get into bed once?
Carole Bouquet in her prime. No question.
Favorite Bond girl (if someone else), and least favorite?

Favorite: for sheer looks, Halle Berry; for the total package of awesome, Michelle Yeoh
(Honorable mention to Jane Seymour and Barbara Carrera are close behind.)
Least Favorite: Denise Richards in a landslide
Favorite and least favorite Bond villain?
Hem-hem. Miss Moneypenny, of course, old pal. [Says something inaudible and British]
I'd have to please ignorance for least favorite. Maybe Grace Jones?
Who'd win in a fight: Humphrey Bogart or John Wayne?
EDIT: Miss Moneypenny will see you in hell, ninja!
Favorite: Klaus Maria Brandauer in Never Say Never Again.
Least Favorite: Sophie Marceau in The World is Not Enough.
Favorite Bond, if Connery is disqualified?

Pierce Brosnan, though Daniel Craig is growing on me
(I think Timothy Dalton looked the most how I would have pictured Bond looking just reading the books, but he had none of the smoothness required.)
Most ridiculous scenes (up to 3) from a Bond movie?
3. Any scene with Jaws in it.
2. Moonraker -- laser guns in space.
1. The World is Not Enough -- Denise Richards' flimsy white T-shirt, upon being submerged in water, suddenly becomes 6" thick and totally opaque? [cough]Ripoff![/cough]
Honorable Mention: Seemingly hour-long fight scene with Sean Bean at the end of Goldeneye, where they're hitting each other with lead pipes and chains and stuff that just bounce off them with no effect. It reminded me of the big chicken fights in Family Guy.
Speaking of Denise Richards, did anyone else think that Undercover Brother was hilarious?
P.S. Lazenby is still my favorite Bond by a wide margin.
Hem-hem. Miss Moneypenny, of course, old pal. [Says something inaudible and British]
I'd have to please ignorance for least favorite. Maybe Grace Jones?
Who'd win in a fight: Humphrey Bogart or John Wayne?
EDIT: Miss Moneypenny will see you in hell, ninja!
John Wayne
I'll leave Kirth's question open.
Was it better than Black Dynamite?
Or how about I'm Gonna Git You Sucka?
Or how about I'm Gonna Git You Sucka?
That one's a classic! Love the mama stuntman with the mustache.
Did anyone else think that Undercover Brother was hilarious?I never saw it. I also think we are missing a question.
Any movie that you haven't seen that everyone says you should?
Dr Stranglove
What movie do you regret seeing in the theaters?

In the Name of the King: Dungeon Siege.
Funny story actually: I left my keys at home when I went to classes at the university. When classes ended, I knew I had about 3 hours left until somebody could open the door, ride home would take about 1 hour, so I had 2 hours to kill. Wheather was dreadful, rain/snow, around freezing point, so I headed for the cinema.
No entertaining movies (I hadn't seen yet) were on, in fact only two movies were about to start (I forgot what the second was, I think an animated movie for little children), so, despite fearing the Boll, I got a ticket to Dungeon Siege...
David Stratham, Burt Reynolds, Ron Pearlman...
could be at least watchable...
wow was I wrong.
When the end credits rolled, I felt really sad for the great bands that gave their songs for this movie, and I actually still think it would have been less painful to sit two hours at the bus stop, enjoing the friggin' wheather!
What movie do you regret not being old enough (or even born) to see in Theatre?
RPGsavant, you really should see Dr. Strangelove.
Hee hee! I saw Dungeon Siege in the theater, too. Man, it sucked! However, I was quite high and had the whole theater to me and three of my friends. What fun!
In answer to the question: L'Arrivee d'un train en gare de La Ciotat.
What is the last movie you saw that either made you quite ill or disturbed you emotionally?
Naked Lunch.
Favorite Peter Weller movie?
Best animated/CGI dragon: Beowulf, because it fought and acted like a dragon.
Best movie dragon: Dragonheart, and now all my dragons speak in Sean Connery's voice
Oh and WORST Pixar movie?

A Bug's Life.
(I thought Cars 2, which many hated, was a great affectionate parody of 60's and 70's Bond movies.)
A Bug's Life was just kinda boring to me, perhaps because I didn't really like the Flik character. It did, however, have one of the all-time great villain lines in any movie, spoken by Hopper:
"If I hadn't promised MOM, on her DEATHBED, that I wouldn't KILL you... I WOULD KILL YOU!!!"
Best Pixar movie?
Monsters Inc.
Any movie have to much gore for you to watch?
I am sure there are tons, but I haven't watched many splatter movies. The last movie that really yicked me out was Black Swan.
What's your favorite Hitchcock film?

Rear Window
Any favorite film Noir? If not contemporary Noir?
Double Indemnity was pretty awesome.
And now I'll steal Pan's question. What is your favorite contemporary noir?
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo more or less fits the genre, IMO.
(The American remake, much to my surprise, was every bit as good as the Swedish version.)
Favorite American remake of a foreign film? Least favorite?

Favorite has to be Brothers; Dogme 95 is an interesting thought experiment but human beings invented lighting and soundtracks for a reason.
Least favorite? Wings of desire into City of Angels; the original might have been tedious, but the remake was a hatchet job.
Favorite dystopian future movie?
Probably Gattica.
P.S. Worst American remake = turning "Infernal Affairs" (a masterpiece of suspense) into a Leonardo diCaprio vehicle ("The Departed").
Favorite Uma Thurman role?

Fantasia, if Chernabog counts as "the" Devil. If TV counted, I might go with Fantasy Island and Roddy McDowell's portrayal.
For straight-up deviltry, however, I don't know if I have a favorite MOVIE, but for *performance* as the Devil I enjoyed Al Pacino in "The Devil's Advocate."
It's a Wonderful Life - love it, hate it, or just don't care?
never seen it so just dont care
Coolest gadget from a scifi movie?

Coolest gadget from a scifi movie?
The Flux Capacitor.
Marty McFly: Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?
Dr. Emmett Brown: The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
Would you go to see a Back to the Future reboot?
Groundhog Day
Time Cop
Terminator
12 Monkeys
Hot Tub Time Machine
