Urban75's favourite film

[cathal marcs]

Its a Wonderfull Life or Battle of Algiers for me.

This thread makes me laugh... The title of it clearly says 'Urban75's favourite film' but many seem to think that this means it's asking what their favourite film is...

Therefore - for the benefit of the group - i'll spell it out:

Even if you like a film very very much - if lots of other people don't like them - that means that they can't be Urban75's favourite film.

This is because there is a difference between your own tastes and the tastes of others.

Got that?

Good.

Armageddon every time,

Top class.

Films I've enjoyed that might get in:

Scarface
La Haine
City of God
Old Boy

Old Boy is wicked.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I'm in delirious shock that Top Gun now has three votes

Best. Film. Ever.

City of God

&

Napoleon Dynamite!

City of God

&

Napoleon Dynamite!

Agree with City of God - but that Ginger Geek film is too shit for words...

In my opinion like.

 

[jodal]

My vote:

Donnie Darko

 

[girasol]

Why isn't 'The Idiots' on the list? I wasn't joking! It's a real film, quite a good one, actually!

(Although City of God will prove to be a lot more popular - I'm voting for it: City of God that is!)

I hate the Big Lebowski.

I would defy anyone to say they hate Hana Bi though.

I love the big Lebowski. "They peed on your rug"

I like Hana- Bi though found it quite incredible that his wife had been terminally ill for ages and only had a matter of days left to live yet seemed perfectly healthy running about etc, with no signs of sickness.

I haven't seen Fight Club.

I'm surprised that Withnail & I hasn't been mentioned.

 

[Bomber]

Glad to see Hana Bi get some much deserved credit. However I am going to be grosssly predictable I'm afraid, it seems destined to be my all time favourite film anyway, I vote for 'The Godfather' parts 1 & 2 because they are inseperable IMO .

I'm willing to bet that less than 5% of Urban has seen The Idiots and I'd say about 80% of them saw it due to the infamous penetration shot.

Still, great film though, kudos for nominating it. (I think Festen is better )

I agree(about Festen being better)! I now realise that it was I (indirectly) who prompted the poll!
