Best Movies….wow that’s tough. So many that I’ve enjoyed for different reasons. Most of my fav’s are documentaries. This Red Line and Paradise Lost come to mind. The Godfather was good. All the Star Wars films.
E – I liked Tombstone alot. Did you like Kevin Costner’s Wyatt Earp, too? I thought Dennis Quaid as Doc Holiday was amazing.
1. LOTR (the trilogy as a whole)
2. Fifth Element
3. Love Actually
4. Danny Deckchair
5. Serenity
not in any particular order…. there are more, I am kind of a movie freak…. but these are the ones I can not live without….
josh…. I like the other one better, Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell, Sam Elliot and Michael Biehn…. I loathe Costner. (sorry)
Yeah, I mostly think Costner is awful. He was only tolerable as Earp. I just thought Quaid was great, and the story seemed more historically accurate.
Braveheart
Godfather 1&2
Goodfellas
Tombstone (both were good)
Jeremiah Johnson

Tombstone over Earp. Val Kilmer/Kurt Russell. Costner needs to get a real job. Although, Quaid did do an excellent acting job.
Josh, I enjoyed Wyatt Earp a lot and I thought Costner was awesome in the Hatfields & McCoys. I enjoy the recent westerns more than the John Wayne era westerns.
How did I miss Tombstone?!?
And the Patriot?!?

I would highly recommend “The Impossible” for families with children over age 10. A beautiful, tragic but inspiring film. It’s about the Dec. 26 sunami in SE Asia and the story of how one family survived it. It was excellent.

Clockers and Juice are two good inner city movies
There are so many good movies out there, but I’ll say this, one of the best films I’ve seen in a long time is “Cloud Atlas”. I thought the book was pretty good too.
Muff,
I liked Cloud Atlas also, though it took a while to get the hang of what was going on…
I thought Life of Pi was completely interesting.
Fletch
JtheB,
Loved the book, haven’t seen the movie yet.
LOL at oh, no #22 That’s what I was thinking. That and 30 Jack in the Box tacos.
oh, and Gran Torino.
Les Miserables (you’d have to be nearly brain dead to miss the grace-based Xnity at the heart and soul of it)
American Graffiti
Gran Torino
It’s a Wonderful Life
Argo
42 (makes Methodism look really good, in addition to being a fantastic story)
Animal House
True Grit (either)
Patton (a close relative of mine served with him in WWII — he said it’s actually a pretty good depiction)
Bourne Chronicles with M. Damon
Oceans Eleven
2 more:
Inglorious Basterds
Babette’s Feast — for its depiction of pinched, pietist Xnity vs. grace-based
Lute #41
I’ve seen Les Mis three times on stage and the movie 3 times. So true what you posted!
Bob,
Yeah.
Isn’t it something?
At first at the movie I didn’t think I’d like all the singing. But less than 5 min. into it I was absorbed. The performances by Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, et al. were incredible.
I will see it again. And most likely again!

High Noon
The Sound of Music
Hoosiers
The Passion of the Christ
Vet, not at all ashamed…
I would be ashamed for someone if they mentioned Gili! 😀
PPVet scored the first mention of High Noon, I think, and ERunner ‘cheats’ with me on the mini series Lonesome Dove, which I count as a movie, too.
Jaws is my favorite thriller and the very racy Young Frankenstein my favorite comedy.
I consider the Princess Bride to be the perfect movie – it hits everything it aims at.
The most thrilled I have ever been in the movie theater was when my Dad took me to see Star Wars opening week. I will never forget that blast of music after the 20th Century Fox reveille and the symphony strike, A Long Time ago in a galaxy far, far away . . .
That was magic to my 10 year old self. Bought a Star Wars poster in the lobby and put it up on my wall as soon as we got home. What a great time to be a kid in a theater.
(2nd place goes to the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark.)
Some of my favorite chick flicks…. 🙂
Sleepless In Seattle
While You Were Sleeping
A League Of Their Own
Notting Hill

PP Vet,

BD’s #14
Patton….most definitely! Anyone ever read the actual transcript for the real speech at the beginning? If you look it up, beware, they cleaned it up for the movie.
What can I say I am a tanker. The man is the only general to 19K’s.
I dont know how I forgot Deer Hunter. Walken was priceless in that movie.
Nonnie # 20
North By Northwest. Gotta quit continuously seeing movies I love.
Oh, and Full Metal Jacket only counts as half a good movie, after they get to ‘Nam the movie really bombs IMO.
Most of my favorites were already mentioned:
Braveheart
Forest Gump
Napoleon Dynamite
What Dreams May Come
A River Runs Through It
Amadeus
Gran Torino
Good Will Hunting
As Good as it Gets
Green Mile
American Graffiti
Fried Green Tomatoes
But to add a few more:
Benny and Joon
Fight Club
Big Fish
Ratatouille
Ghost and the Darkness
The Last of the Mohicans
I’m waiting for My Name is Earl – The Movie.
A trashy TV show, but it is about my earthly roots. I laugh so hard.
#66 I just wish they would actually finish the story on My Name is Earl. They left it hanging…arghh!
It’d be easier to pick directors, Akira Kurosawa, the Coen brothers (I laughed through Barton Fink and No Country for Old Men so maybe my humor has a cruel streak), David Lean, Fritz Lang, Christopher Nolan, Sam Raimi, Hayao Miyazaki, Satoshi Kon (there’s a director who died too soon!), Brad Bird and a few others than to try to narrow down movies to lists. It wouldn’t take a determined person long to work out that I love Batman cartoons, for instance. I liked a good bit of John Woo’s pre-America stuff and Red Cliff was fun. If I’m going to sit for 5.5 hours it’ll be Red Cliff or the version of Pride & Prejudice with Firth in it.
And Singin’ in the Rain is one of the few musicals I own (besides Fiddler on the Roof and South Park).
Glad someone gave a shout out to my selection of Patton. Every time I watch it I am inspired by the depiction of the man. George C Scott was absolutely stunning. Every monologue has me riveted.
Speaking of monologues my all-time favorite movie monologue (well if you exclude the speech in Henry V) is the Good Will Hunting monologue about the Red Sox and “it’s about a girl” a triumphant and transcendent moment.
And I love the first five minutes of Meet Joe Black in the coffee shop… “I like you so much” Such an appealing love dialogue.
Friends showed me Glen Gary Glennross years ago and I found the movie tedious and self-important. But the play, man, the play performed on stage is amazing!
As is the movie Patton. 🙂
I feel like I’ve outgrown Episodes IV-VI but they have an immovable place in my cinematic history. I’ve made a point of showing my nieces and nephews the original theatrical cuts I saw as a kid. How It Should Have Ended has fantastic send-ups of plot holes and missed possibilities for the original trilogy, particularly The Empire Strikes Back. 😀 Darth Vader uttering the line to Luke, “Hold on! Where do you think YOU’RE going?” never gets old.
I Love HISHE! Especially, the Supercafe vignettes.
Here is the link:
http://www.howitshouldhaveended.com/
Warning, it is addictive!
As for Star Wars, I love the original Trilogy. The Prequels, were okay, but i knew what was going to happen. There were no “Luke, I am your father.” moments. Sure, the graphics were better, but the storyline could only go so far.
One problem I have with these lists is my B.C days versus my A.D. days. There are movies I saw 30-40 times before I hit the age of 25 that I haven’t seen since. So do I include such a movie even though my tastes have changed? In any event my list would be 50 movies long probably….
However, occasionally a movie comes around I never would have enjoyed in my early years, but am fascinated by today. And I don’t see it listed.
Have any of you seen, “The Mission” ?
If not, you might add it to the netflix queue.
My wife and I don’t go to the movies (don’t want to be caught in a movie house when the lord returns.)
But I think my boys & I watched Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando about 50 times.
My wife and I have watched John Candy’s Summer Rental about 20 times.
But my favorite I think is Back to the Beach with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello
1 The Twilight Saga
2 Mars Needs Women
3 Plan 9 From Outer Space
4. Battlefield Earth
5. Robot Monster
6. Bambi Meets Godzilla
7. Any movies “reviewed” by Mystery Science Theater 3000
SteveW,
The Mission was a powerful movie…I remember the stunned state of mind I was in when I walked out of the theater.
People realize mine was a joke right?
I was wondering why real Russians never seem to play Russian rolls on Rambo movies, I mean everything else about Rambo is spot on.
Favorite quote from Apocalypse Now. “Thats Charlie’s Point” … “Charlie dont surf.”
Good idea for another thread; famous or favorite lines. “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
RE # 79
Our Pets HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!!!
As missionaries in tha Philippines, we knew other missionaries whose mission did not allow them to go to the cinema. (Or dance, smoke, drink, etc…..and they had to sign a covenant). Anyway, I was always amused that many of these same missionaries had incredible collections of videos and and not just rated PG films, etc. yet to go to a movie theatre was somehow sinful . I never did understand that.
From Play It Again Sam..
Bogart: I never saw a dame yet that didn’t understand a good slap in the mouth or a slug from a .45.
Many Baptist sects (that’s sects not s-e-x for some of you) say, or used to say the same thing. It was not only for purity but to keep up appearances. Appearances are very important to some religions. It may stem from culture.
“The doctor said Dunbury could not live. So Dunbury died” The Importance of Being Ernest.
“Hey! It’s me.” Han Solo Return of the Jedi
Field if Dreams as remained at the top of the lt of all time favorite movies. This monologue by Terranc Mann (James Earl Jones) is a piece of great writing:
” People will come, Ray. They’ll come to Iowa for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn into your driveway, not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at your door, as innocent as children, longing for the past. “Of course, we won’t mind if you look around,” you’ll say, “It’s only twenty dollars per person.” And they’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they’ll walk off to the bleachers and sit in their short sleeves on a perfect afternoon. And find they have reserved seats somewhere along the baselines where they sat when they were children. And cheer their heroes. And they’ll watch the game, and it’ll be as they’d dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they’ll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come, Ray. The one constant through all the years Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It’s been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.”
I loved Grand Torino but was miffed when Dirty Harry died at the end
A good little movie was Deceived. Maybe it was just me but the ending caught me totally off guard
One of my favorite scenes.
Then there’s this one.
In honor of The Derby….
Secretariat – what a beautiful story about a horse and the people too, overcoming obstacles, love, redemption etc.. but for me it’s about a horse. Horses are beautiful creations.
Becky, did you ever see Dreamer. IT’s a horse movie my daughter and I have watched together many times.
Steve,
When my kids were quite small, I took them to the actual Field of Dreams west pf Dubuque, Iowa. That was fun! Couples have flown there to get married and at least a few years back they would have pickup games on holiday weekends. I loved the movie, too. The book it’s based on by WP Kinsella is a great read, too.
The Count of Monte Cristo
Bob Mumford was in a group with a no-movies policy early in his Christian life.
He finally broke down and took his family to see The Sound of Music.
When the green hills and the music started, he said to himself, “I’ve been cheated”.
I sure love and appreciate Bob Mumford. What a great teacher.
great documentary is “Buck,” a horse ‘whisperer’ who teaches more about the human condition and compassion for others than he does about horses. Powerful, fascinating, and a must-see.
When I was in my mid teens I frequented a Bible bookstore. I can still remember reading through all the “Back to the Bible” pamphlets. Serious discussions about the dangers of movies and playing cards.
Wow, how evangelicalism has changed. Today it seems like it’s a sin in some circles to NOT be worldly and be up on the latest greatest movies. etc.
I don’t think I saw anyone mention Harold & Maude. Great soundtrack by Cat Stevens.
In spite of being around so many horse people, I haven’t seen Buck yet. I heard its a really good story.
A Man Called Horse
Dancing with Wolves.
Schindler’s List
Into the West … a great mini-series produced by Spielberg
I can’t beliebe it. We got Ratatouille but no Clear and Present Danger or Nacho Libre… 🙁
Babette’s Feast
The Bourne series!!!
Sense and Sensibility
Pride and Prejudice
Dumb and Dumber
Gary’s list is a trilogy I think.
In no particular order:
The Princess Bride
Rooster Cogburn and the Lady
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Running Scared (the one from the 80’s with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines)
Second Hand Lions
Fiddler on the Roof
The Sound of Music
(I’ve always wanted to play the part of Tevye in Fiddler or Captain Vonn Trapp in Sound)
Master and Commander: Far Side of the World
Forest Gump
Blazing Saddles
Bridge Over the River Kwai
Beauty and the Beast
Amadeus
White Christmas (or Holiday Inn)
Schindler’s List
Smokey and the Bandit
The Help
Passion of the Christ
Captain America
Because of Winn-Dixie
Bridge to Terabithia
Although not great movies, I love the old Tarzan movies, especially the ones with Johnny Weismuller. The old black and white horror movies, with actors like Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney, were some of my favorites growing up.
Really want to see Lincoln and Les Mis, just haven’t had the time yet.
The Pianist
Jumanji
Overboard
The Lakehouse
Damn Yankees
Napoleon Dynamite
The Birds
The Village
Titanic
The Truman Show
Napoleon Dynamite was a super movie! You almost seem human…
😛
Left Behind 🙂
I’d hang out with Jackie — but only to watch movies.
Jackie,
Anyone who has Damn Yankees on their list is a friend of mine. 🙂
I think I will hook up the old VCR and watch it tonight!!
“Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets…”
I liked Damn Yankees. What’s wrong with me? My fave line is “I see cannibals munchin’ a missionary luncheon”.
OK I should have LONESOME DOVE on my list. It is too good to leave off.
Oh and I love the Man From Snowy River.
And Jackie Alnor has a movie with naked boobs on her list? Way more dangerous than Rick Warren… just sayin’
Yeah – The Pianist does – yet quite appropriate – and the version of the Titanic I was referring to was filmed in 1953 when censors wouldn’t tolerate such.

Snatch
Usual Suspects
Foul Play
All the Christian Bale Batmans
Fight Club
And the winner for the best Best Creepy Nazi Dentist Scene is ………Marathon Man (Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier). “Is it safe? Tell me, is it safe?”
Serious question, are there certain movies we as Christians shouldn’t watch, and how do you determine that? I am in no way judging anyone, as I love most of the movies shared above. Judd Apatow cracks me up. Love the Godfather and any Mafia movie. Sex and violence and language permeate the movie industry, and we lap it up. Yes it’s a personal decision, and best case scenario it’s something we pray about before doing. I guess I’m just curious how other people decide where to draw the line.
The Mission is my all time favorite movie. Spectacular sound track. The Fisher King number two.
I draw the line at anything that might make me have nightmares. Or if the comedy is based only on vulgarity or stupidity.
