I'm really not a big movie person. I have a best friend who is a movie buff, though. He'll go on for hours about movies. But I can only sit through a handful of movies.

My favorite movie is The Burbs with Tom Hanks. It's genius in my opinion, mainly because it takes place in a completely normal middle class, white collar neighborhood. I've seen it so many times but I never get bored of it. It's the reason Tom Hanks is my favorite actor. It's strikes such a good balance between subtly comedic and melodramatic, I can't help myself from being captivated by its charm. It's outright cheesy at times.

The first time I saw it was with my ex at a free movie theater run by the Library of Congress. But I've watched it over and over again since then and every time it's been a blast. I really connected with it.

So, what's your favorite movie? A few other notables of mine are The Matrix, Wreck it Ralph, and Forrest Gump.

Samus Aran

i'm not really a huge movie person either

my favorite film ever (or favorite two, technically) is Kill Bill

other big favorites of mine include Pulp Fiction, Fargo, American Beauty, City of God, Rear Window, the original Star Wars trilogy, Godfather 1 and 2, House (Hausu), Dr. Strangelove, Evil Dead II, and Battle Royale

battle royale was so bad that i couldn't watch more than 30 minutes of it.

pulp fiction, fargo, american beauty, empire strikes back, the godfather, dr strangelove, and evil dead are all great though

haven't seen the others

anyways i think goodfellas is a better movie than the godfather trilogy. i couldn't watch each godfather movie in one day due to the pacing but goodfellas was an easy one sitting

a clockwork orange is great

videodrome is extremely good

the big lebowski is neato

blade runner is a movie that i thought was slow and boring when i first watched it but after having watched it a second time i don't know how i ever saw it that way

the elephant man is one of the bests that i've recently watched

ikiru is good

american psycho is one of my favorite comedies

also barry lyndon is one of the best movies i've ever seen


but all in all, i've got to say that my absolute favorite ever is adam sandler's jack and jill. you just can't beat the classics

The Hand That Fisted Everyone

fucking american psycho. i tried to get into it but i read the book first and the book is 10x better imo (also some sick shit in the book that the movie never touched on)

I've always liked Lost in Translation. Sometimes I get in a sad bastard mode and that's my go-to movie when that happens. I also enjoyed The Life Aquatic. Beavis and Butthead Do America is a Timeless Classic. Probably my favorite comedy. Stop Making Sense is probably my favorite because even tho its a concert movie there is some character progression from David Byrne from beginning to end that like involves kind of letting things go. also there is some cool ass effects used.

There is this movie by Wim Wenders called Wings of Desire that I watched some years ago and really enjoyed, though idk if i still enjoy it. Alot of the movies I called my favorite at one point or another I have not seen in several years.

piano moths

Persona, El Topo, Dreams
