    Being a huge filmophile (and future film school student), I'd like to see some more movie discussion around ForgeHub. So, I thought I'd make a thread specifically for movie discussion. Get discussing.

    My favorite movies of all time? There's too many to name, but if I had to...

    1: The Shining
    2: Psycho
    3: The Blair Witch Project
    4: Vertigo
    5: A Clockwork Orange

    My favorite is always changing, so I cannot really say. As of this moment, my favorite film is Slumdog Millionaire. The writing, direction, acting... everything was so seamlessly perfect in my opinion, might I add the score? But it has honestly been awhile since I have started commenting on the cinematography while watching a movie. I really need to check out Anthony Dod Mantel.

    However, one that I will always love no matter what, would have to be Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi. The movie is quite good, but when you learn about how it was made and everything, it makes it that much more amazing.

    That movie is god awful. To say it's a movie you can only watch once is a gross understatement. I payed $10 for it and I regret it. It's an ordeal in itself just to sit through it.

    I don't know if I can rank my top 5 off the top of my head but without a doubt, my favourite film of all time is The Dark Knight. I too, like Sarge, have a long list of favourites.

    Some others I really enjoyed: The Wrestler, Slumdog Millionaire, The Prestige, Batman Begins, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Iron Man.

    I'm not sure I could list favorites, but just to throw a movie out there, anyone seen The Boy In The Striped Pajamas? I really liked it, but it got mixed reviews.

    Some I really liked
    -The Dark Knight
    -The Prestige
    -The Illusionist
    -The Great Race (old but awesome movie)
    -Wall-E
    -Toy Story
    -Finding Nemo
    -Yellow Submarine (I dunno what it was, but I just, as the Blue Meanies would say, hated it)
    -Star Wars: Episode V
    -The Godfather

    I still need to see Benjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire, Pineapple Express, and The Wrestler.

    Haha, a lot of people think that, but for whatever odd reason, I've always loved it.

    Yeah, it's pretty good I guess. I mean, I've only seen it twenty times.

    I'm going to watch the Illusionist some time this weekend. As well as 3:10 to Yuma

    Has anyone one seen the movie "Brick?"
    It was an Indie-ish film that took a spin on the classic film noir by "putting 1940's and 50's language in the mouths of modern teens."

    Recently, I've been watching The Green Mile whenever I can. It's become one of my favorites now.

    We're watching The Shawshank redemption for English next week.
    I'm yet to see this movie, according to imdb.com it's the greatest film of all time.

    The Green Mile. I don't know why, but it never fails to mess with my emotions.
