2. Source Code (because TRAINS!!! And Science! And Chicago!).

3. Cloud Atlas (because timelines!).

4. (500) Days of Summer (because reasons).

Also, if any one of you know of a good Transgender movie, Please tell! :)

Porco Rosso! In fact, you could probably put all of the Miyazaki movies! but I love Porco the most. As I've said before, I'm a giant sucker for anything involving a grand adventure or mystery.

Pacific Rim.

I'm easily entertained.

The above because reasons.

Otherwise, anything by Mel Brooks. The guy is comedic genius.

Car movie: Rush, hands down although Gone in 60 Seconds is up there.

they haven't all been winners, same can be said for ghibli, but I did really enjoy Grand Budapest .

I've not seen a Wes Anderson movie that I didn't at least like and enjoy but I agree, some are better than others. It's true with everybody.

Never was a big fan of the Indian Jones series. I do know that I can offend all of you by saying the fourth movie was the best :P

wow. really? i'm a big wes anderson fan too but those aren't common choices for favorites. i'm in camp rushmore/royal tennebaums. moonrise kingdom and grand budapest are up there too. and of course i'm still waiting for the midnight coterie of sinister intruders.

Not unexpected from someone who's favorite movies of all time are the Rush Hour series.

Life Aquatic and the whole Zissou character spoke to me in a weird way I don't fully understand, but it did nevertheless. Same thing with Darjeeling Limited and the 3 brothers, also the orange/yellow aesthetics made India my top priority country to visit. We are both waiting haha

Seriously? It was one of the biggest action movies of the 90s. My favourite as a kid. Also, one of only two good movies that Michael Bay has made (largely due to great producers - Bruckheimer and Simpson).

'Easily entertained' my bum. How could anyone not love this? I can't believe we're actually getting a sequel!

Now, I can understand that position - I shared it for a number of years - but IV doesn't have anything like this:

Any film with a space battle, between just two ships, that lasts a good twenty minutes and yet still feels decently-paced and tense, deserves major props from me. I wish people still made stuff like this, in films or on TV.

IV does hold a comfortable second, though.

TheHondaBro > KirkyV 01/19/2015 at 18:26

Okay, but if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that The Final Frontier was the worst.

Anon > djmt1 01/19/2015 at 18:27

I don't care what anyone says about Pacific Rim, it was dumb as hell and I fucking loved it! I don't need Evangelion levels of mind fuck to make me like giant robots being the shit out of stuff!

KirkyV > TheHondaBro 01/19/2015 at 18:41

Oh, christ yes. The Final Frontier's the one film in my blu-ray box set that I refuse to so much as try to watch. Every other less-than-excellent Star Trek film has at least one redeeming quality*, but The Final Frontier's just bad frosted in bad with extra sprinkles of bad.

...

**The Motion Picture's incredibly pretty, and so help me, I fucking love twenty-or-so-minute Enterprise porn spacedock sequence. The Search for Spock has Christopher Lloyd, the 'stealing the Enterprise' sequence, one of the most heart-rending scenes ever committed to film - you know the one I'm talking about - and... Actually, come to think of it, The Search for Spock's a pretty good film, generally.

Generations, at the very least, provided a decent number of pretty shots of the Enterprise D - my favourite - doing cool stuff, which are kinda hard to find elsewhere. Insurrection had less-than-excellent special effects, and a few dumb moments, but the most common complaint levied against the film seems to be that, 'It felt like a feature-length episode of TNG' and, honestly, I still have trouble grasping why that's a bad thing—I fucking love TV TNG! As for Nemesis... Some of the space battle scenes were pretty fucking cool, even if the effects still could've been better.

...

Wait, what other Star Trek films? LALALAICANTHEARYOULALALA

Any of Studio Ghibli's creations. Magnificent stuff. The Italian Jobs, both the 1969 and 2003 movies. IMO, the 2003 movie was one of the best types of reboot I've ever seen. Ultimate favourite though is probably Contact.

It was always a toss up between II and IV for me. III used to be played on tv endlessly when I was kid, and I got sick of it and refused to watch it until I got the bluray set. First off, it and VI have the nicest picture quality of the set, but holy crap did III really hit me after not seeing it for years. The shots of the station interior and exterior with the Excelsior pursuit are phenomenal, and Kirk's reaction to David's death and the subsequent destruction of the Enterprise. I remembered all those scenes, but they hit my adult self much harder than my child self. II is still my favorite, but III is definitely my second favorite, and IV I find my self liking less and less as I get older.

II,III,VI,IV,I,..........v.

KirkyV > Agrajag 01/19/2015 at 22:31

I still love IV, but III is either third or fourth—First Contact's pretty high up there, for 'It's the Enterprise!' alone. The 'stealing the Enterprise' sequence is just utterly fantastic, and the 'death of the Enterprise' scene is everything the death of the Enterprise D, in Generations, wasn't. I think The Final Frontier is by far the worst Star Trek film, objectively speaking, but Generations might be my least favourite, simply because it provided such an inadequate send-off for my favourite Enterprise, the Enterprise I grew up with.

Agrajag > KirkyV 01/19/2015 at 22:50

Oh man, I don't know that I could rank the two series together, but First Contact would be high up there.

Agreed on Generations. The thing that bothered me the most about that was the how drastically they changed the interior lighting on the Enterprise. During the show it was warmly lit making a inviting atmosphere, but then in the movie it looked like the Enterprise was on auxiliary power.
