Who doesn't like a good movie?

I thought it might be nice to have a place where we can brag on and recommend movies to each other.

What movies did you really enjoy? What movies did you wish you hadn't watched? What movies do you recommend for the whole family?
 
I rarely watch movies, but when I do, it is usually animation, drama or war documentaries. The last one I watched was The Siege of Jadotville. It is classic, war stuff. :)

All-time list of movies that I have really enjoyed -
- The Prestige
- The Illusionist
- Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan
- Expendables trilogy
- How to train your dragon 1 & 2
- Wall-e
- The Replacements
- Remember the Titans

All-time list of movies I wish I hadn't watched -
- American Pie
- Aviator
- Gravity

Movies that I recommend for the whole family -
- The Prestige
- The Illusionist
- How to train your dragon 1 & 2
- Wall-e
- The Replacements
- Remembering the Titans
- Ben-Hur
 
Going to the cinema is ridiculously expensive in Norway, but I did watch quite a few movies while in Scotland.

What to recommend? Hmmm...


Song for Marion (Drama)
The Help (Drama)
American Sniper (Action/bio/Drama)
Elysium (Sci-fi/Action/Drama)
Earth to Echo ("Family movie", Sci-fi)

Oooooh American Sniper is a good movie! Elysian is also watchable, even though I am not a fan of sci-fi movies at all!

I've seen the Prestige, the Expendables trilogy, the two How to Train Your Dragons, Wall-E, and Gravity.

I must agree that I enjoyed all those but the last. It just wasn't my kind of movie. Too much drama and not enough action, I guess. And I loved the Expendables since, odd as it is, Rambo was my hero from ages 4 to about 14. I just wish it didn't have so much cussing, it's so unnecessary.

I don't usually seek out war documentaries, but when I do start watching them I always enjoy it.

Contact
The Matrix
High Plains Drifter
Artificial Intelligence
The Man Who Fell To Earth

Something more current, hmmm, let's say, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. :D

I also really enjoyed The Gospel Of John, and Joaquin's movie called "Her."
 
A movie that was so unlike what I thought it would be was Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Wonderful! The original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy was also very good. The Lord of The Rings trilogy was excellent, of course :D

The "God's not Dead" was good, I have not seen the second one. I need to, though!

I have not seen Game of Thrones, but everybody seems to rave about it. I just hate to engross myself in a show, though, because if I start watching one episode I have to watch the whole season.

I like pretty much anything with action or involving war, especially the civil and world wars.

I do like thrillers, as ling as they are not the scary ones. You are a lot braver than me, I don't handle freaky things very well XD Even I Am Legend was a bit much for me. But I really like historical based movies as well, and things set in the frontier or west.

The Great Escape was a wonderful classic. Steve McQueen, James Garner, and Charles Bronson. What could go wrong?

The others I have not seen, save Star Wars. The first was definitely the best. Pity about Mark Hamill's face in the latter two, though I hate to sound so artificial. But a great movie.
 
Other movies I really enjoyed and watched more than once are:

The Arrival (and then the follow up, The Second Arrival)
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind
Being John Malkovich
The Minority Report
The Fifth Element
Twelve Monkeys
Mulholland Drive
Donnie Darko
Adaptation
Vanilla Sky
Paycheck

:D
