Aside from Bond, what other movies do everybody like watching?
I personally love the HalloweeN films. Starring the one and only Donald Pleasence as Dr. Sam Loomis. I've seen them all except HalloweeN 6:The Curse Of Michael Myers (it hasn't been released on Region2 DVD and the video is so hard to track down). They're all pretty good, although 5 was a bit of a letdown and H20 could have been soooo much better.
I'm definitely looking forward to the release of Hall8weeN: Resurrection
in July. Only thing, I won't be able to go and see it as I'm only 16.

I also like watching the Jaws movies. The first one is a classic and 2 is just as good. The third one's great especially if you wear 3-D glasses for the computerized 3-d parts. Jaws: The Revenge isn't all that could though. Sure, it had Michael Caine, but his character seemed bored in the film and the storyline was drab. I really do hope that Universal get their act together and make the long rumoured/awaited 'Jaws 5: Darkest Waters'. It'd be great!

I also pretty much like all action and horror movies. My personal Horror favourites are:
Scream
Scream 2
Scream 3
I Know What You Did Last Summer
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer*

These are pretty much all 90s teen slasher flicks and aren't as epic as the classics such as The Exorcist, but I still have a soft spot for them. I also like a load of action films but it's too many too list.

So, what do you all like watching?

*I seriously doubt this, but does anyone have any info on the third installment 'Final Hook' (working title) otherwise known as 'I Will Always Know What You Did That Summer'. I've been trying to get some for weeks but It seems limited on the net.

PS. Sorry if there is a topic like this already in existence. I didn't see it (if there is one) and so have assumed that this topic has not yet been started.

Regards.

[General Koskov]

I like so many they're hard to list--plus I'm lazy...

But at the moment, I love the Godfather films.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

I almost forgot the Monty Python movies. My favourites are Life of Brian and Holy Grail ("Run away! "Run away! ). I also like: Independence Day
The Batman movies (up to Batman Forever, the last one kinda sucked)
Poiseidon Adventure
Terminator 2
Bowfinger
Rob Roy (I'm a direct descendant of him)
I also rented The Sting and The Man Who Would Be King today. My parents liked those ones, thought I'd give 'em a go.

[Mourning Becomes Electra]

Too many to list; they span from Buster Keaton silents, 30's screwball comedies, 40's film noir, 50's musicals, 60's british angst, 70's blockbusters, Disney animation, spy films, thrillers, black comedies, sophisticated drawing room comedy, Billy Wilder, Alfred Hitchock, Preston Sturges, William Wyler, Howard Hawks, John Ford, David Lean, Kurosawa, Boorman, Kubrick, early Mel Brooks films, Monty Python, etc etc etc.... Heck, basically if it's well written, acted and directed I'll watch it, and in some cases it only needs one of the three to still be enjoyable on some level.

But I don't particularly care for loud films who's sole reason is to be loud (Bruckheimer) or treacly romantic comedies (Meg Ryan) that for some reason believe they don't actually require a script. Oh and gross out comedies which I have to be threatened with torture to see.

For all those who are interested, a Hall8ween:Resurrection teaser trailer is now available. Follow this link:
http://movies.yahoo....o&id=1807530862

I must say, it gave me the chills. The mask looks superb and is definitely one of the best from he sequels. I cannot wait to see this movie. Being in the UK I have to wait until October fo it's release. Those in the US can see the trailer in theatres, it should be attached to most prints of Jason X.

[Icephoenix]

Just saw Resident Evil on the weekend, man I love that film!

[Evil Doctor Cheese]

I've just had another look through the list and it seems that me and the ladies like our musicals. I think that says alot more about me than it does MBE and Xen!

'Nuff said.

Okay here goes the list.

Rocky Horror Picture Show
Barbarella
American Beauty

Clue

I hate (and I wouldn't usually say this unless I felt so strongly about it) the Lord of The Rings. You could've burn Proffessor Tolkien alive infront of me and I'd still go home and have a cup of tea with a slight feeling that world was a far better place. The only film that I have ever wanted to walk out on but physically couldn't because I was was so bored I could not feel my or my legs.

That's me in a filmic nutshell.

[DJ]

Sorry Tanger, I couldn't get any information on Final Hook for you, I'll keep an eye out for you though.

On a brighter note, Double-Oh-Zero, I did find out lots about the forth Indiana Jones movie. However, its not all good news:

Release Date: Unknown; George Lucas told TheForce.net recently that this would certainly have to wait until after he finishes Star Wars Episode III, so the summer of 2006 is probably the earliest possible target (and that's just "maybe").

Cast: Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones), Karen Allen (cameo) (Marion Ravenwood), Kate Capshaw (cameo) (Wilhelmina Scott); Other cast are not yet announced. (9/21/00) Ford mentioned in a recent interview that he hopes Sean Connery will return for the sequel.

Based upon: This is, of course, the 4th in the world-famous Indiana Jones series. The third film was 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Indiana Jones, is of course, an archaelogist who has amazing, roller-coaster-ride adventures, usually in the 1930's, but this 4th film, released over 12 years after the last, may be set as far in the future as the 1950's or 1960's when Indy is an old man. (That last bit hasn't been confirmed; it's just a guess)

Seeing as I am here, here are my favourite movies:

American Pie I and II
Blade
Blade Runner
Casino
Con Air
Forrest Gump
Gladiator
Goodfellas
Hunt for Red October
Independence Day
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Lethal Weapon I, II and III (Haven't seen IV yet)
Liar Liar
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Directors Cut)
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Mad Max II (haven't seen the others, but I also heard there will be a Mad Max IV starring Heath Ledger with Gibson as Director)
The Matrix
Meet the Parents
Men In Black
Mrs Doubtfire
The Mummy and The Mummy Returns
The Rock
Rocky I and II (After that it was just repeating)
Rush Hour I and II
The Shawshank Redemption
The Sixth Sense
Star Wars I (I want to watch the trilogy after Episode III is released in 2005)
Trading Places
X-Men

Looking at all of your movies theres a lot I have seen listed that I wanted to see but never found the time to like Fight Club.

[Aston-Martin]

I love Star Wars almost as much as I love the James Bond series. Almost.

I like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Dumb & Dumber, Men In Black, Indiana Jones trilogy, National Lampoon's Senior Trip, Blazing Saddles, Saving Private Ryan, just to name a few.

[DJ]

I noticed that a lot of people seemed to like 2001: Space Odyssey, so I thought that it might interest these people to know that there is going to be a sequel, maybe the fourth in the series, I don't know, and it will be known as 3001: The Final Odyssey. They were hoping to release it this year, but a cast hasn't been pulled together yet so I think they would be aiming for a late 2003 release to make it a good movie.

Modification: There is also supposed to be a Lethal Weapon 5 where Danny Glover has firmly stated he will not return to the fifth in the series.

[Max Zorin]

I got a lot:

The Godfather Trilogy
The Indiana Jones Trilogy
The Die Hard Trilogy
The Jurassic Park Trilogy
The Back to the Future Trilogy
The Lethal Weapons
The Star Wars'
The Waynes Worlds'
The Ghostbusters
Goodfellas
Platoon

And oh, so many more.

Thanks for the info. I recently went to ign.com and they said the same basic thing. Only they said that Spielberg confirmed the appearance of Capshaw as a supporting character, not just a cameo. What's the betting that Harrison will trade in his whip for a walker?

Just popped in here before I go off to the land of nod, to tell you that this is my 666 post. Just thought i'd point it out.

Anyway, the number of sigs on the HalloweeN 6 petition has now risen to 237. Thanks to everyone who has already signed it and thanks in advance to those who are yet to do so.
Here's the address:
http://www.petitiononline.com/h6pc

I actually saw this cut of the movie today and let me tell you, although the quality was p**s poor, the movie is far better than any of the other sequels and makes so much more sense than the released cut. The ending's much better and almost all the questions you will have had are answered by this. Excellent film.

Goodnight.

I'd just like to go back and develop a few points on my liking of the HalloweeN series and at the end, I have a small favour to ask you all.
As you may or may not know, there were two versions of 'HalloweeN:The Curse Of Michael Myers' produced. The first cut was far superior to the final and has so far never been officially released. It is extremely sought after by die-hard fans and so far the only copies available are illegal bootlegs.
This leads me to the favour that I'm asking you all to do me. The HalloweeN fan community would seriously like to see the release of the 'Producer's Cut' of the movie. To do this, a petition has been set up to urge 'Dimension Films', who made the picture, to release a VHS/DVD which incorporates both versions of the film.
All you have to do is leave your name and a valid e-mail address. You will not receive any SPAM as a result of this, and the only e-mail you will receive is confirmation of your signing, which does not need to be replied to, and contains a letter that can be copied and sent to your friends, to urge them to vote. You can also leave any comments you wish to make, when you sign.

This is the link to the petition:

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/h6pc/

and these are links to sites which contain info on both versions of the film:

Many thanks everyone and I hope it is OK that I posted this here. Feel free to delete it if you want Dan.
You don't have to vote if you don't want to; but every vote counts. Currently: 187 and rising.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

I enjoy watching a good action film. I also think Jaws is very good, but I am not too fond of the third and fourth Jaws films. I also like the Star Wars movies and the Indiana Jones series as well. I hope that they do make the fourth Indy movie soon. Does anyone know details about this? I also enjoy comedies as well.

My top five films (other than James Bond) are:
1.Star Wars trilogy
2.Indiana Jones trilogy
3.The Rock
4.The Untouchables
5.Men in Black, Jaws (tied)

[mccartney007]

I've got a pretty varied taste in movies. Here's some of the films I like:
David Lynch films
The Untouchables
The Thomas Crown Affair ('99 version)
The Tailor of Panama
Stanley Kubrick films
The Liquidator
Alfred Hitchcock films
House on Haunted Hill (the original)
Almost all classic or really cheesy horror films (i.e. those made in 60's and before)
The Beatles films (what the heck is with Magical Mystery Tour? It's so stupid, I love it!)
Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (all Vincent Price movies, really)
Batman: The Movie (Somedays you just can't get rid of bomb!!)
The Brady Bunch (I should be ashamed)
A Very Brady Sequal (I should be equally ashamed)

Those are just a few of my favorite films.

I've remember a few more from reading other people's lists!

Sunset Boulevard - Good flick. I like Lloyd Webbers musical version as well thought I must admit, I've only ever heard the Patti LaPone version and not seen it on stage! On that, it's rumoured that ALW is consider Dame Judi for the title role in the film adaptation!

Back To The Future Trilogy - Great film series! Love 'em!

The Untouchables

Fight Club - I was on Zencat's website and I noticed a script he'd written Catfighter and it mentioned it was a cross between one film and Fight Club. So I went out and watched Fight Club. What a drug induced trip that film is!?!?!
