Proper break this time
Armageddon - I was just staggered by Willis' performance in this!!
Battlefield Earth - Travolta at his best, a sublime film with glorious set pieces and a plotline worthy of... Well tbh I can't think of a better one, so a plotline worthy of itself!!!
The Postman - Kostner's masterpiece, a sublime look at what the furture could be if commies took hold, staggering cinematography - kicks Akira Kursawa's shoddy work in the pants.
The Patriot - One man's struggle against adversity - a beautiful yet tragic story of betrayal and opression - god bless you Mel.
Pearl harbour - Searing histrorical commentry, accurate to a T, a beautiful and unbiased account of the biggest terrorist attack since 9/11.

Absolutely.
also:
donnie darko
alien
fear and loathing in las vegas
jason and the argonauts
being john malkovich
truman show
pulp fiction
minority report
The list could go on...
It is nice looking at other people's lists and thinking, oh yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing that!
But if I had to choose one... jason and the argonauts (only because it used to be on every xmas when I was a kid, without fail, and I loved it)

These type of threads can have two answers.
If I was being dishonest and poncey, I would say my favourite film is Breaking the Waves.
However, if I was being honest my all time favourite film is the ultra MORTAL KOMBAT! I have seen that film at least 20 times now.

Some great choices
I forgot
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956 of course)
The Incredible Shrinking Man 1957 (much underrated IMO)
Don't Look Now (has to be one of the best films ever and it showed the true evil of hooodies for the 1st time)
Häxan (with the William Buroughs narration)

The 1940 version here
It's got that wonderful Technicolour, the score is exquisite, ther costumes are sumptuous
it's the one with the camp genie and the toy horse that flies away
it's got a beautiful princess, an evil visier, a prince who's a thief, it rocks!
Only just realised that there's an earlier version, I'll have to chec kit out
also
almost forgot
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Lon Caney and the Charles Laughton versions, both magnificent movies with incredible performances from the leads

the Michael Powell (praise be upon Him), that's alright then - good choice!
(which goes to counter-act the fact that i agree with tbaldwin about something as well - phew!)
