Your Favorite Movies? : Othor Games

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 12:49 am

So, I just finished watching My Neighbor Totoro, which I probably should of gotten to along time ago, however it's been getting put off, over and over and over...

I absolutely loved this movie, but then again, I think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki is a genius, and I absolutely love everything he does.

So for me, i'd have to say Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and My neighbor Totoro are my favorite movies. I realize i'v stuck my head in the sand here with just one genre of movies, however I think these, personally, outweigh everything else i'v ever watched.

I'm a fan of Miyazaki as well.

-Scarface
-Road Warrior
-Spaceballs
-The Star Wars original trilogy
-All of the Indiana Jones movies
-Heat
-Howl's Moving Castle
-Spirited Away
-Zombieland

Those are the only ones that come to mind

Hayao Miyazaki's films are indeed great. I wouldn't say they are all in the same genre, however. Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, for example, are actually quite different from each other. Yes, they are both animated and share similar undertones due to both being created by the same man, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are in the same genre (unless you feel like lumping every animated film into the same genre, in which case, well, have at it). Anyway, some of my favorite films, in no particular order:

The Fountain
The Royal Tenenbaums
2001: A Space Odyssey
Children of Men
Blade Runner
Pulp Fiction
Requiem for a Dream
Coen brothers' films (O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Big Lebowski, etc.)
I could go on and on, but an etc. will just have to do.

Iv seen most of those and enjoyed them. I guess anime movies grab me more :whistling:

@Sep

I agree, however he has that distinct style I think in all his movies. I, for the sake of making things easier, tend to classify all his stuff in the same stream, due to the same way of story telling and character development.

Die Hard

Don't because you won't really remember any part of the movie for it to make any sense.
