Hey all.. this is a great new folder. I'm curious to know what all my fellow BBFC addicts like to watch on the big screen. I watch such a WIDE variety of things... y'all will laugh when ya read 'em. I'll start with a few that I can remember off the top of my head... When a Stranger Calls Urban Legend Scream (the first one) Gia Dazed and Confused Girl Interrupted Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory And SOOOOOO many more... curious to see what everyone else thinks..

My favourite 3 B movies of all time are Kentucky Fried Movie, Death Race 2000, and Heavy Metal

My favourite A movies would be Braveheart, Glory and maybe T2?

I don't know..I like 'em all! I'm just a movie buff!

Highlander. The first one. Not the second one which I REFUSE to acknowledge exists. Not the second-third one, which although ok, was a blatant remake of the 1st, and not the 4th, although it was VERY good, and went on an unexpoected tangent. The first Highlander movies is THE BEST. That is just ...

My 2 cents.

I think my favorite older movie is "The Way We Were" and as for movies of today, I have many favorites such as "Girl Interrupted", "Face-Off" and "The Watcher". As you can tell by my name, I love Nicolas Cage and many of his films.

I have diverse taste in moves. I adore action movies with Arnie (Terminators, True Lies, Running Man, blah blah blah), and Face Off, Con Air, The Rock etc. I have a real soft spot for romantic comedies, especially Muriels Wedding, My Best Friends Wedding, Father of the Brides (Steve Martin), The Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed... I could go on an on. Those are all my favs.. Oh yeah, I love Sound of Music and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation!!! :)

Okay for my faves:


Horror: The Exorcist - saw it on tv when i was 8 and it freaked me out... then saw it just recently in the theatre and it was still pretty good.... "You know what she did??? You're c*nting daughter?" freaky...

Psychological thriller: Psycho - both hitchcock and van sant versions. "a boy's best friend is his mother"

Teen Movie: The Breakfast Club - I saw it as a teen and it was and is still a great movie - "What did you get for christmas????"

Action/Drama: Armageddon - i get choked up when they put the newborn baby's hands up to the screen for the one guy...

Drama: whatever happened to baby jane - this is a true dramatic movie Joan Crawford, Bette Davis... i guess it's more a horror/drama but hey this is a tough decision... "But you are in the chair blanche, you are."

Legal Drama: A civil action - gotta love the whole bring corporate america down angle.

Comedy: Airplane - there is only one river... there is only one sea and it flows through you and it flows through me.... Hilarious...

Dark Comedy: Fight Club - this movie is so funny!! it's sick... "if i had a tumor i'd name it Marla Singer"

Sci-Fi: E.T. - i cried when he turned white... first movie i ever saw that made me cry...

Action: The Fugitive - i consider this more an action than a drama and it was intense.

Made for TV: Sybil - That woman that was the mother was freaky, and sally did an awesome job.

Musical: Grease - c'mon olivia newton john and john travolta??? this is the epitome of the movie musical.

Independant: Boys don't cry - it was interesting movie and researching the true life accounts is more interesting.

Foreign: Like water for chocolate - it's story is timeless.

Lifetime Movie w/Meredith Baxter-Birney: The one where she's a bulimic mother... - i loved this movie she goes on a binge and eats everthing then barfs it was great... loved when she shoplifted the chocolate covered marshmellow cookies and ate them then threw up outside the store - classic meredith baxter birney.

Kid's movie: Freaky Friday - Jodie foster switching places c'mon this movie was awesome... love the whole change me let the inside person come out movie that is so prevalent in Disney movies....

Based on a true story: Silkwood - everytime i see a cars lights shining on my rearview mirror i think of this movie so it must be something... "thelma is cooked"

Estrogen Flick: Thelma and Louise - This is one of the best chick flicks out there. "Let's keep goin"

{Phew} this was a time consuming post...

There are many I will forget until I see another list them.

My favorite genre is Thriller and I cannot think of a damn one right now.

I dislike old movies and abhore musicals.

soooooooooo.....
>Goodfellas and Godfather I II and even III (most mafia movies)
>Get Shorty
>Terminator I and II
>The Sixth Sense
>The Arnold/JamieLee movie that was a spoof of James Bond...I can't think of the name.
>Liar Liar (I love Jim Carey)
>Good Will Hunting
>Analyze This

There are, of course, many. My previous favorites tend to get wiped out by new releases. Movies get dated so quicky and I move forward with them.
>To Kill a Mockingbird is a old one that remains.

It is a movie that all ages can watch and laugh at.
