SpaceBalls... let me tell you something about Spaceballs i'm absolutely obsessed about that movie, i'm probably the guy who holdes the record of the number of times this movie has been watched, i know every word, every facial expression, every music note by heart (try me if you don't believe me) it is one of the funniest movies ever, and all of mel brooks films rule

[Remote]

Always look on the bright side of life, tu tu..........

Oh, i just bought holy grail and life of brian on dvd a couple of days ago...two great movies :D

[Remote]

Has anyone seen Bad Taste, by the creators of Braindead, and /or Little shop of horrors...

[aprentice]

1) 13 Ghosts
2) Resident Evil

4) House on Haunted Hill
5) Species 2
6) Pyscho (1960)

[Jabo]

I didn't see anyone mention The Fast and the Furious <?>

Probably would be in my top 10, it's a great movie, if you are old enough to drive :D and you like cars you will go nuts watching this movie

[adi]

Yeah its incredibly entertaining but its not classic, a bit like the matrix. I couldn't see those again, I got bored the 3rd time I watched them.

[rob in london]

how could only one person include blade runner? but then i do have odd tastes, i dont have a top five but some films i like are blade runner, silence of the lambs, total recall (actually most arnie films, because despite often not having a good storey, arnies cool), most westerns specialy butchcassidy and the sundance kid, and tombstone, emanuelle, usual suspects, vanishing point (the origional not the crappy re-make), most of stanley kubrics films, get carter, lock/stock..,most of ridley scotts films, the breakfast club, gregorys girl. anyway these are some of the ones i like best, but i couldnt pick a top 5

[RatTrap]

how bout top 5 porn flicks ;)..

[Slougi]

Hey rat why are u never on irc anymore? :)

[Jaz]

4) House on Haunted Hill

Did you not think the ending of that film was a bit pants? :plain:

[DuDe]

The ending was a bit too much of a "happy ending". Although there were some nice stuff after the credits roll. Great soundtrack.

[mesman00]

Here's my list, unfadable so please don't try to fade this:

1. Shawshank Redemption- doesn't get much better
2. Boyz N The Hood- Cuba Gooding was sooo good in this one
3. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective- if anyone didn't laugh at this, then there is really something wrong with you and i am going to punch you in the stomach
4. Menace II Society- this movie was great, although it may have been a little over looked
5. American History X- good, thats all i say about this one

[Smiff]

i liked Ace Ventura a lot, but they spoilt it in the same way as Austin Powers - dumbed down massively marketed sequel. though the Rhino sequence was worth seeing... Gotta get me one of those rhiinooos.

i didn't think Matrix was very good when I saw it @ cinema, then I got on DVD just to check.. yup, still not good. Except for the bit when he asked for guns. I liked that. '99 was a very good year though... Fight Club, American Beauty, Iron Giant (don't laugh), Go, Magnolia... all in my DVD collection. The way I judge is, if you can watch a film three times and still enjoy it, it's a good film.

[sk8bloke22]

i didnt like matrix too much. the idea was good, but keanu reaves was so pants and so like 2 sentences like "why is this so" and "why me" in his dull voice.

fast and furious is a very dangerous film to watch just before u go for a drive. do not recommend it (hehe, i almost overtook a police car at like 80mph, when i realised wat i was doing i braked sooooo quickly).

i wanna see the jap film Ring, and Ring O.

[Smiff]

Dunno I haven't seen The Fast and the Furious, might have to rent that (if it's good enough for Jabo... ;). If we want to get critical about Matrix, the problem is that it's trying so hard to be cool, and there's nothing underneath. Classic example of a see once and you'll be all "whoah" (like Keanu), see again and you'll be unmoved (wooden... Keanu again)... I think. Now Blade Runner, someone mentioned above, that is a fine film, honestly I can say each time I've seen that I've seen something new, and I normally hate Sci-Fi.

[Martin]

Keanu Reeves is the Alec Baldwin of overpaid actors. I cannot understand how he made it so far. As far as my opinion goes, he shouldn't even had been allowed to play that stupid moron in Bill & Ted's amazing adventure (or whatever it was called). And did you see how he ran in the Matrix? Like he had a basketball between his knees. Anyway, that doesn't make the Matrix a bad movie, I thought it was real cool. I just had to pretend Keanu was someone else, like Jerry Springer or someone equally geeky (yet not as pants as Keanu), to make it watchable.

[mesman00]

im unfamiliar witht he non-american lingo, whats pants mean? i assume something negative

[Smiff]

pants just means "generally bad". "bollocks" is a synonym, but "dog's bollocks" strangely, is an antonym. So Martin might say that Keanu's acting is bollocks but his film is the dog's bollocks :) (I'd disagree, saying they're both bollocks... or pants :p)

[blizz]

Keanu got the role in Bill & Ted because he was stupid moron.

[RatTrap]

heh.. i dunno i liked speed.. but maybe it's coz i liked the speed song from billy idol :D.. dunnon..

i used to like bruce willis movies.. last one i saw that i really liked was unbreakable.. i liked the "i see dead ppl" movie too :).. coz i mean.. if you haven't heard anything about the ending.. and you havent watchd to many trailers.. you'll be very surprised in the end.. although you'll suspect parts of boths movies.. it's hard to have the full picture plot and end in your head untill the very end..

the matrix.. hmm.. i liked the special effects.. it was new (actually not really.. it had been used b4.. only not in as much amount and not in the same way) and the story was good i think.. very sci-fi and it's the type of story that they have'nt really been making good movies of in a very long time.. but i agree on the cast though.. it could have been better.. but i wonder who could take keanos place really if you think about it?..

another fav of mine.. it might sound stupid to some ppl but i liked the batman movies up till batman 3.. i liked the 4th.. only it was pretty ridicules.. i still liked the gothic ambient it had :)..

then the last one.. nosferatu :).. also has keanu in it but it's only coinsidence :).. i'm a big fan of the castlevania games.. and liking vampire movies/games kind of is a big reason for me to even be into gaming at all :p..

oh and i agree on blade runner.. one of the best i would say.. and when i was younger i used to like the indiana jones movies :D.. harrison ford movies are usually good imo..

[EdgeBlade]

I like Sci-Fi and Fantasy, could some ppl recomend great movies from these categories?

[Jaz]

Yeah, sweet film.. :D

[DuDe]

The "Alien" series is a nice horror/sci fi series. Well, not including the fourth one, that one was ghey.

[Smiff]

well i can't help with fantasy, not sure quite what that is, but for Sci-Fi.. the classics are:

Alien & Aliens (very good & very different films)
Blade Runner (see Director's Cut, unless you like having what you can see read out)
2001 Space Odyssey (I only just saw this, was expecting it to be dated and tacky.. no, Kubrick tells it like he's got all the time in the world, so peaceful)
Star Wars (duh.. i think this is fantasy actually. 2nd of course, 1st cheesy, Ep1 lame, but of course everyone HAS seen them all)
Terminator & T2 (oh yes, like Alien which is better depends on taste)
Planet of the Apes (the original, i haven't seen it but have it on word its good)

Now for some of my suggestions:
Total Recall (saw this years ago and liked it, Arnie + some intelligent ideas, good lines, a woman with 3 breasts, and the guy with lots of kids to feed)
5th Element (depends very much whether you find the character of Ruby Rod funny or the most irritating thing ever.. i liked him)
The Thing (probably on par with Alien)
The Iron Giant (animated and U rated but don't let that put you off.. flawless all round)
Dr Strangelove (not what people think of as Sci Fi maybe, but essential viewing for everyone).
Men in Black (some people don't get it, i don't get why.. loved the ending)
Back to the Future (am i going way out now? hehe)

Some to avoid:
Batteries Not Included (contains a scene where a female flying saucer gives birth to a stillborn baby flying saucer which is revived by a janitor.. nuff said)
Lawnmower Man (embarrasing)
Final Fantasy (i must admit to not actually seeing it)
Waterworld (Kevin and Keanu should get together)
Independance Day (or whichever one it is that the aliens happen to be running Windows95, how do things like this ever get made, i seriously want to know)

omg where do i start... there's so much bad Sci Fi I'll leave it there before offending too many people ;) It's pretty hard to classify this stuff, lots has cross overs with horror, fantasy, adventure, drama, comedy, all sorts.

interestingly enough, all of those were made in new zealand by a new zealander...peter jackson...

NZ 0wnz j00 :)

[blizz]

I think Peter Jackson also did the Frighteners and LOTR

[Remote]

Waterworld (Kevin and Keanu should get together)

Actually, this flick is great although the story is bad, the acting mediocre but the concept of an entire world filled with water amuses me somehow...

[EdgeBlade]

I've seen:
Alien & Aliens
Star Wars
Terminator & T2
The newer Planet of the Apes
5th Element <- This movie RoCkS!
The Iron Giant
Men in Black
Back to the Future
Final Fantasy <- Cool Movie
Batteries Not Included <- Sorry, but I really liked this
Waterworld <- I thought this was cool too
Independance Day <- Was OK
Lawnmower Man <- I didn't like this much myself

I'll keep an eye out for these:
Blade Runner
2001 Space Odyssey
Total Recall
The Thing
Dr Strangelove


Who has seen Resident Evil? It was so cool, and I'll have it on CD sometime next week, isn't the internet great?

[EdgeBlade]

The spin of the earth is continualy slowing down, in fact, evey year you need to add 1 second to the year. I imagine, like a top, the spinning will die down to a crawl and then a stop and fall into the sun, yay! (Of course not in our lifetimes, again, yay!) I'm just wondering why I haven't seen a move based on this.

You have Waterworld for the whole global warming melting the icecaps thing. And then there is Lost in Space with no room for garbage or something like that. There is also mankind nearly dieing out and having apes take over. Well the last done't fit that well, but still.

I want a earth falling into the sun movie. Or would it get pulled in real close and slingshot into something else?

[Smiff]

the Earth won't fall into the Sun... what will happen, is the Sun will expand and swallow the Earth... kinda the same really :)

[RatTrap]

how bout a new GhostBusters movie :D.. it could be all evolved though.. like GhostBusters has become an agency type thing.. kinda like MIB.. but their cooler and agile and young ppl working there.. without them big ass weapons.. just small consealed weaponry.. and they've learnd to use ghosts in sertain ways to help them catch other ghost.. etc.. (kinda like in the FinalFantasy movie).. and they could kinda remind you of Batman or sumthing :p.. and ghosts could actually be scared of them.. and they could have a sallary comming in from some very high ppl in the goverment to keep the whole "Ghosts do exist"-thing under wraps.. or sumthing like that.. only what they don't know is that the goverment is doing experiments with the ghosts the GhostBusters have catchd and it ends in a pretty freaky experiment wich makes one guy become into some type of imortal ghost who can exist in both planes of reality at the same time so he can actually kill ppl.. and since he knows alot about the ghostbusters ghostbusting technology.. he knows how to kill them.. etc.. etc..

lol.. i think i just wrote a B-movie script..

[Macca]

/me rushes and grabs a copyright on Ghostbusters 3 :P

He did the Frighteners? I loved that movie (as well as LOTR).

[Jaz]

There were lots of rumors about GB3 a while back. Sony did actually register the name GB3 and the copyrights to it, but the movie never came out..

Ghostbusters 1 and 2 rock.. :D
