You and me both. It's definitely on my top 3. So is Children of Men.
Comedy? Big Lebowski, easily.
Movie? There's a few. It'd be hard for me to pick one. 2001 is up there, though.
If you're gonna post Macho Man related rap, at least post the good stuff:

This shit is amazing.
I'd probably like them more if they hadn't been played every 5 seconds for fucking ever.
:lol
You. Good taste. Children of Men is totally up there too. Such a great movie.
Comedy for me would probably be Hot Fuzz/Shaun of the Dead.
EDIT: Meh acid. It's been a while.
Copy and pasted from top 10 movies thread. There are my favourite movies ever.
10) The Dark Knight - I dislike comic book hero movies. This was able to redefine the genre for me and show me that they don't all need to fall into the usual campy drivel of most current (and past really) comic book hero movies.
09) In Bruges - I don't know another movie that bleeds such a depressing story about whether redemption is possible or not, with brilliant comedic timing and a couple great action scenes. Best movie in the last 5 years. Fucking Bruges.
08) Vanilla Sky - One of the best soundtracks to a movie ever. A tale of love, consequences of vanity and what's most important in life. The ending realizations are absolutely heart wrenching.
07) Infernal Affairs - If you've seen The Departed before this movie, you have done a dis-service to yourself. I believe The Departed missed what was the philosophical and emotional essence of this movie. The emotional impact of the line "I'm a cop" is what makes the movie special.
06) Gattaca - The most interesting and in my opinion, realistic, representation of what the future may be like. A tale of the human spirit.
05) Back to the Future - When I was a kid, me and my best friend would re-enact the Doc Brown scene where he's on the clock tower and Marty is racing to get there in time. Of course we would re-enact this on the couch (clock tower) and a chair (delorean). I believe I have seen this movie the most out of any other movie.
04) The Empire Strikes Back - This is the pinnacle of movie making in my opinion, a movie accessible to everyone and easy to love. Everyone remembers their first time seeing this movie and everyone remembers "I'm your father".
03) Lorenzo's Oil - This movie absolutely kills me every time. I'm not sure what it is, whether it's a combination of acting and script, but there isn't a movie that affects me emotionally as much as this movie.
02) Before Sunset / Before Sunrise - I could not pick one of these as they are essential to be watched one right after the other to see the before and after conversation about life, relationships and love.
01) Rudy - "Who's the wild man now?!" This may invalidate my list to everyone but I cannot help loving this movie. I watch this movie once every couple of months. It's a ritual for me. It motivates me.
We're playing the Wild tonight. It's not like there'll be anything to talk about for us. I'll try not to fall asleep.
Also I agree, TDK is overrated. It's good, but no favourites-list.

In Bruges was great, but it fell apart at the end. Brendan Gleeson nor Ralph Fiennes could save that awful bit of screenwriting.
The Thin Red Line is my favourite movie that no else likes.
faux edit: Rudy is an awful movie.

Ah, TDK. Overrated as fuck just like the Canucks
It would've been fucking fantastic if the last act wasn't so horribly drawn out.
Whenever you guys disagree with me, all is right in the world. Shoot me in the fucking head with a large caliber bullet if you guys ever agree with me
Gattaca is on your top 10 list, so you'r clearly doing SOMETHING right.
Also Desi, what about City of God?

You just posted one of the most unobjectionable top ten movie lists I've ever seen. Acid was just trolling you.
Underdogs always win in the movies. His bandwagon teams win in the NFL. He never loses!
This. Absolute garbage.

City of God, Children of Men and Gattaca getting good resonance in here? You guys are okay.
Everyone loves Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz, so that was expected.
Actually I wasn't trolling about TDK. Not a huge fan of that film.
I don't love them. They're funny but not something I'd ever watch again.
I don't know where people get this from.
My teams are:
NHL - Vancouver Canucks
NFL - Mannings' Teams aka NY Giants and Denver Broncos, formerly the Colts
NBA - Boston Celtics
MLB - Toronto Bluejays
CL - Bayern Munich
CFL - BC Lions
MLS - Vancouver Whitecaps
NCAAF - Notre Dame
UFC - Lyoto Machida
Those are the only sports I follow currently.
Well it's not like I either get or can understand German league games, so it counts
And too many teams? There's 1 team in every sport except for NFL. If the Vancouver Canucks played in those other sports, I would cheer for them
Also if you don't love Rudy, it means you are dead inside! Rudy Rudy Rudy!

SOTD maybe, but hot fuzz gets better every time I watch it. Goon was randomly on shotime last night, watched it in the background, that movie gets better every time too. The goalie kills me.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I haven't seen City of God.
But I have seen every Rocky movie at least a dozen times. I can quote Rocky III and IV in their entirety.
You need to do that ASAP. It's brilliant. Very intense.
This guy knows. Hot Fuzz is always better upon another viewing.
That was a pretty hilarious call. At least they killed it.

Source for this? This is why you don't pull stupid pranks like this.
Edit: wtf watch City of God dammit...
I shut off the movie halfway through. I know it's generally loved, but I fucking hated it.

This X 1000
First time I watched it I liked it, then I watched it a few more times and you start finding all the little things that they put in the movie and it just becomes absolutely brilliant. Probably my favorite movie ever.
Also we have no offense against Columbus, pretty frustrating and boring game to watch right now. :/
At least we aren't losing... yet...

It kinda tries too hard, I always thought it felt disingenuous, I get the praise, but it gets more credit than its worth.
B2B Bobrovsky shutouts would be pretty hilarious.
Also, Columbus with the longest active point streak is weird.
Only a dozen?
I figured the original Red Dawn would be your favorite.
I can't imagine anything in the movie worth hating enough to turn it off.
That's too bad. Probably the best movie about love and relationships ever made, imo. Give it another chance while you're miserable over a breakup (not that I wish that upon you).
Mhmmmmmmmmm.

No, I've only seen that movie once and it was good, but not my favorite and barely remember most of it.
Hey Crazed, as long as the Red Wings don't fuck with the Nucks this year in the playoffs, I no longer hate you and your team! I wish you guys the best in the East! Unless you play the Nucks in the SCF, then fuck you, I hate you.
I'm flattered, but I will still always hate you and the Nucks even when we are in the east <3
Columbus is officially on my "I hate them they should be relocated list."
:lol rb pls

In Bruges and Children of Men are in my top 5 of all time. My man.
the other three: Finding Nemo, Dumb and Dumber, and a tie between Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich
Speaking of red, I just remembered another brilliant movie/book: The Hunt for Red October. Haven't watched it in AGES though, so my view might be tainted by nostalgia.
