What are some of the best movies you've ever seen?

[Charles Martel]

What movies have you enjoyed the most?

Which ones would you rate as the best?

 

[referendum]

I like alot of the old film noir era movies, but none stick out as extra special. Micheal Collins is a great film about a great leader of Ireland. Gods and Generals isn't the best in terms of technical quality etc. but I'm amazed that it was allowed to be filmed. It portrays Jackson and Lee as such great, decent, honorable men that one is tempted to start up the war again and fight for Southern Independence all over again.

 

[Tom Iron]

referendum, Agreed about "Gods and Generals."

There are many many others as well,

"From here to Eternity"
"On the Waterfront"
"The Godfather"
"African Queen"
"Treasure of Sierra Madre"
"Gone With the Wind"
"Gunga Din"
"Requiem for a Heavyweight"
"Casablanca"

Etc., Etc., Etc.

The Hustler, Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, great pool player movie!
Full Metal Jacket, reminds me of my days in boot camp.
The Caine Mutiny, Humphrey Bogart!
The Searchers, John Wayne
Hud, Paul Newman
One on One, Cult Basketball classic starring Robbie Benson
Taken, more recent movie with Liam Nesson kicking A$$

Cool Hand Luke, Paul Newman,

I know, I know, Paul Newman was a big liberal, but most of them are! He was truly a great actor!

Ben Hur, Charleton Heston
Death Wish, Charles Bronson
The Dirty Dozen, Lee Marvin

Some of my favorite include "Gods & Generals", "Birth of a Nation", "The Passion of the Christ", "The Searchers", "They Live", "Gladiator", "300", "The Outlaw Josey Wales" & "True Grit" (the original).

 

[white defensive back]

Jaws, Breaking Away, Searching for Bobby Fischer and the burial scene at the end of Glory.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Taxi Driver, favorite movie of all time. Also I like Bad New Bears(classic), all the Indiana Jones Movies, American History X, Deer Hunter,and Powder just to name a few.

 

[Menelik]

Shane, Platoon, Old Yeller, Kelly's Heros, Good Fellows, Casino.

 

[Anak]

Dr. Strangelove, Ran, Moon, Alien, The Thing, Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Apocalypto, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Twelve Monkeys

You all should check out Moon if you haven't yet, it's an excellent movie with a virtually all White cast, indeed there's essentially just the one actor for the majority of the film. Not a single black to be found.

Ran is one of just two Japanese movies that I enjoy (the other being Battle Royale), I hated Seven Samurai that was also by Kurosawa for instance.

 

[white defensive back]

Why does everyone love " Taxi Driver " ? I thought it showed no real direction into Travis Bickel's character.

 

[werewolf]

"I hated Seven Samurai that was also by Kurosawa for instance."

Why did you hate 7 Samurai!? But my favorite Kurosawa movie is "Dersu Uzala", a joint Japanese-Russian project filmed in Siberia.

Mostly I try to avoid all modern Hollywood movies. Heavy handed anti-white pro-Jew pro-Negro pro-homosexual propaganda. Same reason I don't watch telavivavision.

 

[dwid]

12 monkeys, watched it a dozen times, and I usually don't like rewatching movies. The Town was the best in recent memory. If you want two both you and your wife can enjoy, Fool's Gold and Sahara. White guy hooks up with White chick, beats up black people in the process. Yeah they save some Africans from getting sick in Sahara but the main worry was it the spread to the ocean and getting other countries sick. Also shows that black people with power are corrupt with the funny line of the african dictator saying something like "who gives a ****! its africa"

Two for the Money

The Fighter

Shooter

Boondock Saints (2nd one sucked)

Rounders

300

Troy

The Departed

Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist

The Other Guys

True Grit

All the Pretty Horses

Some of the Bourne movies. Some of Edward Burns movies, he doesn't know how to pick a quality soundtrack though which can make or break a movie to the casual viewer.

There was an Italian documentary about the "liberation" of black Africa that came out in 1966 called "Africa Addio". The original uncensored long version is very hard to find now. It showed what the negroes did when they were "liberated". It shows the trashing and slaughter of the animals in the pristine game parks and the mass murder of non-Negroes and the reduction of the formerly rapidly modernizing colonial countries to the jungle savagery that they remain today. Alternate titles: "Farewell Africa" and "Africa Blood And Guts".

I'm a movie buff and I've taken some courses in film as an undergraduate and in grad school. It helps you to appreciate movies more if you study them, because, particularly with the great ones, there is a ton of stuff beneath the surface that enhances the experience.

There are a lot of great suggestions in this thread:

The Searchers, The Departed, Cool Hand Luke (almost any Paul Newman movie is good including Hud and the neglected The Young Philadelphians). Stagecoach is considered "the perfect film" for its structure.

I would add these with many others left out:

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Rio Bravo (the answer to High Noon)
Pork Chop Hill (war as a battle of wills)
Westfront 1918 (see this with All Quiet on the Western Front)
Touch of Evil
Barbarossa (an underrated little Western that is very entertaining).

I will undoubtedly think of others later and have to run back here to post them.

Anyone who's a fan of Kingpin (one of my all-time favorite comedies) will enjoy watching Big Ern's "commercial" again:
