Name me one of your favorite films and why you like it.
Please don't be a dullard and mention a porno (real or lolcrazee), let's try and get some conversation going.

I'll start.

I'm going to go with Big Fish, I emphsise with the main character and I love the acting and directing style. I find it magical and it transports me to another place, and then slaps me back to reality. It inspires most emotions in me and I find it very entertaining.

My favourite film of ALL TIME
has to be Kind Hearts & Coronets. It's just lovely

Dennis Price has to kill all the living members of his family in order to inherit a fortune
and they are all played by alec guiness. It's just very well written and it's in black and white
(I helped save b3ta! Boris Johnson's Press Secretary, Tue 28 Jun 2011, 21:16, archived)
Sounds like it's got potential, is it B&W 'cus it is old, or 'cus of the direction style?

Absolutely superb fillum
in fact, I love all the Ealing comedies. The Titfield Thunderbolt is probably my fave. Quintessentially British and produced in technicolour.
I'd love to be the drunken rich guy that Stanley Holloway played to perfection

Oh fabulous.
I find I rarely laugh at the telly if I'm on my own, but if I'm with friends and they laugh, then I'm more likely to laugh.... I think the reaction of who I'm with is worth just as much, to me, as the origional joke itself. I would like to go with you to see War of the Worlds Live or Wicked, so you could see the glee in my whole being when watching them.

Oh wow, where are you going?

Scott Pilgrim vs The World
It doesn't feel right having such a recent film as a favourite but it's like it was written specifically for me and the music's ace too.

Before that it was probably Airplane! because it's a proper classic.

visually at least. It bombed though, didn't it? It did feel like it wasn't a proper film in some way though, maybe because it felt too original.

Yeah but there's that bit where they show the audience Ben Richards' supposed atrocities and it's cut from the same footage we, the audience, saw right.
Which basically suggests that a camera crew follows him round for the whole film. It just ruins the illusion. Oh and CHIIIIIICOOOOOOOOOO

Oh yeah: Brassed Off
Caught the end of it on C4 the other night. Pete Postlethwaite's speech in the Royal Albert Hall is very moving indeed.

I liked him.

La Haine (jusqu'ici tout va bien)

MOON. Such a good film. Sam Rockwell should be in more films.

I saw Moon at the Odeon in Covent Garden one midweek afternoon just after it came out.
I had the whole cinema to myself.

Not seen that yet.
I like going in the day on my own. Or just on my own in general. No one to ruin the film afterwards by going 'Oh that was shit *moan* *moan*'

(I helped save b3ta! spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Tue 28 Jun 2011, 22:19, archived)
He was in a weird indie film called The Lawnmower Man
that was pretty weird. And the film of Chuck Palahniuk's Choke. Which was also good but not as good as Moon.

Starship Troopers
even ignoring the satirical aspect, it's a thoroughly entertaining film which has been well done. It's just a shame about Denise Richards' nose.

It's got some really good bits
but some of the acting is a bit off. I always enjoy it when it is on though. The little News updates are quite hilarious and clever.

I think the acting being a bit off improves it
makes it more comic booky which works quite well.

The Life Aquatic is my favourite film
It has Bill Murray in it and I love his melancholy face and deadpan-ness. I love the mostly-David Bowie score. I love the wide cinematography. I love the saturated colours. I love all the weird made-up animals and the faux-dramatic documentary bits. I love the typography. I always cry at the end bit with the shark.
