My Fav. Movie would be I, Robot.

For me, the future is going to be just like that.


I like The Pursuit of Happiness, Too.

That is what a man should do.

My favorite movie would have to be "Transformers :Revenge of the Fallen." This is a great movie, filled with tons of action. It even has a bit of comedy in the mix!

pulp fiction and inglorious baster-ds and death proof too

I LOVE the films made by quentin tarantino the mortality of main characters ( not like most other movies where you know that the main character will not die in the middle of the film)
the camara movement and cut are really good usage of music
made his films the best ever

Blood Diamond. It came out during that long line of awesome movies like the departed and the good shepherd and stuff but it didnt get as much hype. A lot of action and plot.

In Bruges was fantastic, highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't seen it, same with The Hurt Locker, and to create a strange mix, Toy Story 3. Also, Moon. I watch a lot of movies, so it's hard to pick favorites, I just list the most recent movies I've seen that I could watch over and over again and never get bored of. Also, Transformers? Really? I can't stand them, but to each their own. And Toy Story 3 had more emotional depth than Avatar.

As much as I don't want this to turn into an Avatar v. Toy Story thread, I have to refute this. You just can't beat the connection to the characters that you have in Toy Story 3. To be fair to Avatar, Toy Story had three movies to build those connections, but still, I've never been more emotionally invested in movie characters in anything else. I will admit, I shed a few tears at several moments in TS3, whereas I had trouble seeing past the fact that the characters of Avatar were the same old cookie-cutter action movie cliches. It's true that they were higher end cliches, but cliches nonetheless. It didn't help that the storyline and plot were really just a facade for the shiny effects show, rather than something cool, involving, or, for that matter, original. Where Toy Story 3 pays tribute to a variety of other styles of movies, while maintaining a solid plot, Avatar just takes a plot that has been seen countless times before and plays with the characters and setting. And if you don't have a storyline to involve yourself in, and you don't have deep characters to involve yourself in, where can the emotional depth be? Toy Story wins on both fronts.

Yeah in Avatar there isn't really anything to get emotional of but toy story has decades of connections that threatend to be destroyed along with the toys lives.

Wall-e: Amazing characters and storyline
Kung Fu Hustle: Best fighting movie ever period
Shaolin soccer: Doesn't force soccer down your throat and is pretty funny.
Cube: Don't know it's just so intresting.

explain this. if you havent sen it, i will. yes, true, if you really shake it down to the basics it is a over-used topic, 'ocahontas', 'tree-huggers', whatever. but if you really go into the plot it goes far past that. it even has themes that mirror current world events.

so throw in some amazing special effects and now the whole story itself is just a floppy reason to put that there? hardly.
