One day a Wise old man told me that life is like a movie... There's a beginning, an intermediary, and an end.
I told him "shut up , this is the good part"

That being said.. what is everyone's favorite movie...and why ? :

deanh77 deanh77Founder

Comedy: CABIN BOY, a movie so cheap and so bad that even its star pretends it was never made. Chris Elliot is a genious.


I will post in parts as they come to me.

legs legsFounder

that movie is SO incredibly ridiculiously cheap!!! (*sigh* I love it...)

deanh77 deanh77Founder

seriously one of my favorite movies of all time.
you are cool whoever you are.

Handsome Boy Modeling School... hahahaha so funny.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

lol!! cabin boy was so funny man...

and get a life was great too. "what would you say is your body type? Muscular? atheletic? or lean?" ... "hmmm, i'd say more like soft dough."

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

S.P.E.W.E.Y. - it's an acronymn. Special Person Entering the World... uhh... Egg Yolks

please dont kill me! i'm too young and bloated to die!!

tpham tphamOG 2001

cabin boy made no sense it was utter nonsense.. so was monthy phython and the holy grail..but it had cool decapatatino scenes.. It's ONLY A FLESH WOUND.. iki ik ik ik i k ik ik ikikik ik

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

look, don't diss monty python. if you don't get it, fine, but don't diss it! many people haven't seen the episodes of monty python's flying circus, they were so awesome. And as for cabin boy, it was stupid, but very funny, definitely only a narrow audience can appreciate it though.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

you've probably only seen it once or in parts like 5 years ago, so you can't criticize it anyway

tpham tphamOG 2001

whoa whoa whoa whoa.. i'm in no way dissing monty python and the holy grail .. i loved it. .it was funny ! i'm just saying it was sooo off the wall and stupid funny.. geez man.. SHUT IT

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

well i'm sorry then. but i still think your tone lacks appreciation. i bought jesse the whole set of monty python episodes on dvd for his graduation party, i cant wait to see em!

legs legsFounder

HAHAHAHAH!!! THat was sooo hilarious! It was utterly stupid too but...that's what makes it so great. That merman guy was really scary!!! I can't remember his name though.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

it was sharky!!!!

legs legsFounder

I think I was at your house when I saw that. Yeah! Alex went and rented it. Sharky...LOL

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

Comedy: So many to choose! i'll say Monty Python & the Holy Grail, since everyone already said Dumb and Dumber. UHF and Young Frankenstein were great too! i could put an endless list here though. (props to Drowning Mona)


Drama: hmmm, Forrest Gump was good, so was the Truman Show


Action: Everyone already said the matrix, so i guess i'll go with rush hour 2, or any jackie chan movie.


Suspense/Thriller: Frequency takes the cake


OVERALL: The Princess Bride is one of my all time favorites, or Monty Python and the Holy Grail

tpham tphamOG 2001

geez.. everyones liking frquency.. it was ok.. but all time suspense.. i don't know.. The NET was good.. sandra bullock.. on the beach.. ahhh. FORREST GUMP .. now that was just awesome..thats when i learned that i'm a stupid because i do.

mandie mandieOG 2001

What is frequency? I don't think i've ever seen it! (everybody gasps..haha)

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

You've never seen Frequency?!?!??!?!!?!?

mandie mandieOG 2001

Yes that's what i said. i've never ever seen frequency. Who's in it?

magnum magnumOG 2001

I think randy quaid but i may be wrong. Was a cool little movie about time altering and such. Blockbuster should have it for rent for 5 nights and your forget to take it back till a week later and get charged a redicilous fee and that will be that!

tpham tphamOG 2001

you know if you fly on a plane from west to east and while your buddy flies on a plane from east to west .. you would have time traveled compared to him.. in a way.

mandie mandieOG 2001

ok so how about this question: If your in the back of an airplane, and you run to the front of the airplane, are you going faster then the plane?

deanh77 deanh77Founder

in relation to the ground, yes. physics is all "frame of references". If you're on a train going 2 miles an hour, and you walk to the back at 2 miles an hour, you might travel the whole length of the train, but you would always be looking out the window at the same telephone poll or whatever.

mandie mandieOG 2001

ok, makes sense, how about this one: do airplanes have keys? i mean, its a huge door, how big would the key have to be?!?!?! hahaha

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

okay jerry seinfeld ripoff!

mandie mandieOG 2001 thefunkyfresh

you ALWAYS catch on to my seinfeld and princess bride references, your hilarious!

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder mandie

heeheehee... :)

tpham tphamOG 2001 thefunkyfresh

why did i picture matt for a second as an elf rubbing his hands together going.. hehhehehehehe

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder tpham

lol, you know that i was ty.

tpham tphamOG 2001

Yea but what if you in EMPTINESS

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

it was definitely a cool movie, but it's the same as with any suspense movie, it's not the same watching it again once you've seen it. that's why i only saw it once

tpham tphamOG 2001

you know what stinks is that.. i only saw it once but i saw only about an hour into it.. i had to leave once i saw the part where they realized they can communicates with each other.. when i came back home my parents returned the tape.. so i never found out what happened.

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

I saw another great movie last night...Finding Forrester...it was good, has anyone seen it??

tpham tphamOG 2001

finding forrestor? what were you thinking..

magnum magnumOG 2001

Rough, Just the way your mother likes it TREBEK!

tpham tphamOG 2001

MOoo.. but thats the sound your mother MAKES !!!

tpham tphamOG 2001

i just made a CD of all the jeopardies last night. because of the long drive to vermont. can't wait ! so funny..

bennybergs13 bennybergs13OG 2001

Hmmm, way too many to choose from...

Comedy: Dumb and Dumber I mean who doesn't like that movie, but everyone picked that so my other one is Say Anything, you know the movie with John Cuscack....yea love John Cuscack.


Drama: Shawshank Redemption...very good movie-love the ending.


Action: Goonies-don't even say that it wasn't an action film!


Suspense/Thriller: Shawshank Redemption...very good movie-love the ending.


OVERALL: Blah dont know

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

BOOOOOOOORING!!! i think goonies should have been under the category of "worst movie EVERRRR!!"

jc is funny guy... i liked "better off dead"

tpham tphamOG 2001

kelly! you hate the goonies? what.. you're crazy..i mean . it wasn't the greatest movie.. but it sure wasn't BAD... THE ANIMAL.. now that was stupid ! except for the black guy .. he was soo funny

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

ty, i also thought you turned in a brilliant performance in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"

tpham tphamOG 2001

yes, but clearly that was not one of my best works.

bennybergs13 bennybergs13OG 2001

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

tpham tphamOG 2001

Are you mocking me ? i know you're not mocking me..because you won't like long enough to mock me again if you were mocking me.. i'm not a clown here for you amusement.. alright !

bennybergs13 bennybergs13OG 2001

I dare not MOCK the fox in the box with the red sox!

tpham tphamOG 2001

but i dont wear red sox and as a YANKEE fan I HATE THE RED SOX.. but then they gave us the babe

bennybergs13 bennybergs13OG 2001

Yea yankees RULE!

legs legsFounder

Matt...I have lost all hope for you. How can you not love the goonies!?!?!?! It's so great!!

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

Gonnies..we just talked about that this weekend, about the greatest movies... The Goonies are great!! Especially the fat kid and sloth..LOL

tpham tphamOG 2001

GOONIES .. ACTION ? what are you kidding me.. i starred in that movie!! laying bOOTY traps all over the place..so i know.. it wasn't action !

tpham tphamOG 2001

what is SHAWSENK?

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

Comedy: Hmm... Princess Bride, Dumb and Dumber obviously... GOONIES! Drama: hmm... im not really into drama i guess...

Action: Star WARS!!!

Suspense/Thriller: JACKIE CHAN MOVIES!

OVERALL: STAR WARS!

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

jackie chan... suspense?? i dont think so.

tpham tphamOG 2001

yea jackie chan is not suspense.. well yea in a way.. because you see their lips move and then 10 seconds later you hear the words.. so its a little suspenseful

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

HAHA!! yes, that's very true. i'm sorry mike, i didnt realize you meant it that way

magnum magnumOG 2001

What is this princess bride movie you talk about? This movies sounds very boring!

tpham tphamOG 2001

i know you're kidding about never hearing about this movie.. i know you are kidding

magnum magnumOG 2001

i just saw my sister with the sound track. It looks GEY!

magnum magnumOG 2001

wait that was the pricess diaries she has... oh well

tpham tphamOG 2001

Yea two totally different movies.. whoa now.

tpham tphamOG 2001

You know what i really wanted to see.. NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE.. it looks so funny.. making fun of everything.. why did it have to be R !

magnum magnumOG 2001

Yes and why did the little mermaid have to be G ?

tpham tphamOG 2001

because it had a talking lobster/crab?

magnum magnumOG 2001

Sebastian the crab!

N
nine9starOG 2001

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder g.f.s.rocks

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001 thefunkyfresh

tpham tphamOG 2001

magnum magnumOG 2001

ive watched the cartoon on tv so a big =P to all you haters. However i appreciate sponge bob more for his entertainment qualitys!

N
nine9starOG 2001

whatever - just cos i have been emotionally scarred for life after seeing tha Hans Christian (sp) Anderson version

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

Comedy: i dont know if you would classify this under comedy, but i LOVED clueless... its so hysterical! and im soooo surprised no one put JOE DIRT!(this look queer this look queer)but then, Happy Gilmore & Billy Madison were soooo peeinmypants funny! i could go on & on!


Drama: GOod Will Hunting was amazing...Shawshank redemption was one of the best. Also "the cutting edge" was pretty good...


Action: i dont wanna put it cuz everyone else did, but its so good! Matrix. also Mission Impossible was pretty good (the first one)


Suspense/Thriller: probably scream 3... just because.


Love: Serendipity-- John Cusac is so awesome! every movie he's in a absolutely love.


OVERALL: DEEEEEFENITLY has to be Princess Bride. Such a good movie. thats my all time fav!

tpham tphamOG 2001

Princess Bride was good.. but definately over rated.. just a little bit.. it's still good and NBL (mk) but still it's not the BEST.. i've still yet to see the best.

tpham tphamOG 2001

I'm so happy no one said anything for TITANIC !... i hate that movie.. it's a pretty good comedy though..

magnum magnumOG 2001

especially at the end when they in the water, that is the funniest part of the movie.

tpham tphamOG 2001

no no... the funniest part is when the ship is already broken in half and people are at the top..then they fall and hit the tables on the way down.

it's like a titanic pinball game but instead of balls it's people..

magnum magnumOG 2001

yeah that part was pretty cool too, thats the only part i saw of the movie

C
crazygirlOG 2001

hey i saw lord of the rings today...IT WAS GREAT! the ending though was upsetting cause they just ended in the middle(kinda like when a car goes of a cliff in a movie and it says to be continued)anyway.. there probably gonna come out with another movie though.did anyone else see it?

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

probably? that's the whole point of the movie, that there will be sequels. i wanna see it too! maybe i'll go tonight after the bookstudy

C
crazygirlOG 2001

deffinitly! there were a few parts that were weird like with wizards and stuff but overall it was really good

tpham tphamOG 2001

magnum magnumOG 2001 tpham

hrm im guilty of doing bad things when it was just like 4 of us in a theatre :(

tpham tphamOG 2001 magnum
