Ghostbusters

Just the perfect mixture of well-timed gags, drama and action with special effects that still (mostly) hold up and a brilliant cast. I can still quote pretty much the entire movie.

No Country For Old Men

Lord of the rings (1978)

or

Jason and the argonauts

Don't even think snatch is the the best Guy Ritchie movie. Lock, stock and two smoking barrels is better imo.

Hard to nail down only one favourite. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, North by Northwest, and Out of the Past head the list.

I love a good laugh-out-loud comedy, so I’m going to go kind of obscure with Amazon Women On The Moon. You’ve probably never heard of it, because it was a straight to DVD from ‘87 by Zucker/Abrams/Zucker, the same guys who made Airplane and the Naked Gun movies, and it’s also the spiritual successor to The Kentucky Fried Movie.

It’s difficult to describe it, other than to say that you’re loosely supposed to be watching a 1950s sci fi movie called Amazon Women On The Moon on late night TV. Interspersed among the bits of the movie are fake commercials and other skits that are absolutely hilarious! And the cast is unbelievable - Roseanna Arquette, Michelle Pfeffer, Arsenio Hall, Steve Gutenberg, Andrew Dice Clay, Joe Pantoliono, David Alan Grier, Ed Begley Jr., a long list of classic comedians in one skit, and, if you keep it rolling during the credits, even Carrie Fisher shows up.

Sadly JustWatch shows that it’s not available to stream anywhere (except the high seas I guess? 🤷🏻‍♂️), but Amazon has the DVD & Blu-Ray available, and, if you’re a fan of Airplane type humor, it’s worth the purchase!

EDIT: After a Google Search, I discovered that there’s a copy online at the Internet Archive! Go watch it before it’s gone!

If you like Snatch, try Gettin' Square. It's an Aussie thug movie that I reckon is pretty good.

As for all time favourite movie, I'm not certain anymore as I prefer to watch a familiar variety of movies. It's maybe independence day

Of more "recent" movies I would say Inception. From days when I was younger maybe TMNT II or Surf Ninjas

Just saw Across the Spider-Verse. That movie is so beautiful. You can literally pause on any frame and you're looking at an artistic masterpiece.

I watched it on a large OLED in 4k HDR, so ymmv. While it takes a really high place, my favourite is still PREDATOR; just an awesome script.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079278/?ref_=adv_li_tt Chilly Scenes of Winter is a current favourite. I recommend going into it a bit blind, and seeing how long it takes for you to figure out what's happening.

Childhood favourites were Back to the Future 2, Return of the Jedi and later, the Matrix

The Third Man (1949) if I had to pick just one. It is cinematic poetry from start to end.

In no particular order

• The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
• Day of The Dead (1985)
• Night of The Creeps
• Night of The Comet
• The Blob (1988)

Almost Famous

Blood Diner, because it's actually about a trans man who helps his dead uncle become his living aunt. It's easy to lose track of the fact that this is a movie about two transitions in the chaos of the ancient blood cult, vegan diner that serves human meat, wrestling with Jimmy Hitler, and all that, but it's all in there. Blood Diner was decades ahead of its time. I watch it a few times a year. Watch it as a double feature with Frankenhooker and pretend they're modern experimental indie movies. Frankenhooker is a feminist masterpiece.
