What are your favorite movies?
40hz:
Not out yet, but this one looks promising. Due for release in August 2013 and also available for IMAX viewing if you're into seeing things on the really big screen. Could be good. It's called Elysium. Class warfare in a not-too-distant dystopian future:
tiaross:
Simply Irresistible and The Ramen Girl
tomos:
Just watched In Bruges for the second time - it's a really great film.
Just noticed 40hz wrote about it here - there may be a couple of mini-spoilers there (I prefer knowing as little as possible when I see a movie) but if I enjoy a movie as much second time round, it's gotta be good ;-)

a recent rerun made me remember yet another favourite of mine:
Robert Altman's Gosford Park ♥ In my mind it is within Top 50.

You may need to love the classic British understatement culture, to fully appreciate this genre. Some people have said the film isn't funny. However, when I re-saw it last week I was literally ROTFL, when the policeman (played by Stephen Fry) again and again tried to introduce himself; it was just so hilarious! I am big fan of British humour on film and tv, and Gosford Park is not at all boring - even though Robert Altman is an American....

Stephen Fry is definitely hilarious in Gosford Park but the movie is so much more than humor. Altman has a gift for building little worlds out of characters which are so engrossing the plot is almost irrelevant. Much like my other favorite Altman movie, MASH, it's almost disappointing because I could watch another hour of those people doing whatever in that little world.
