Last week one of my girls asked me to rent 'Fight Club' and a son asked me to rent 'Burn After Reading'. Both because of Brad Pitt. Maybe we need a favorite actor thread too.

Most of my favorite movies are a little old.
![]() On the waterfront La ley de Herodes/ Herods law (English title) Pasqualino Settebellezze/Seven beauties (English title) Mean streets The grapes of wrath The Last Waltz The hustler The graduate Goodfellas Casino The graduate The great Gatsby High noon Donnie Brasco Min and Bill The pianist Reds Julia Stalag 17 A streetcar named desire Three days of the condor This are some of my favorites but not all. Most of this films should be familiar to most people living in the West except Seven beauties and Herods law. You should be able to find them somewhere, if you want to watch them. Even though I am not much into comedies, this two films, satires with extremely strong subject matter are some of my all time favorites. They are very heavy, and Seven beauties, specially, is such a film that once you ll watch it, you ll never forget it. ![]() Bo |

@bo
The Graduate and Goodfellas would be my top choices from your list. @Terarus Spirited Away is indeed a wonderful film, highly recommended. Infernal Affairs is great too. Another film that I've got to recommend is Donnie Darko. |

Inception is worth a watch, but did not impress me much. I kept hearing its a great movie, and so maybe it created the extra hype for me, and I was expecting more. Its not a bad movie, but towards the end, the movie slacks a bit according to me.. the van kept falling in slow motion, and all... became a little boring and it put me off.

I like
Matrix Trilogy The Bourne Trilogy - Really liked Bourne's character in the movie. He straight away used to hit the guys who were hunting them. Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Wonderful saga Pirates of the Carribean series - very enjoyable. But, I did not like the last movie that much. Still, it was entertaining. Chronicles of Narnia series - another series worth watching and enjoyable Harry Potter series - I really liked Harry Potter movies... they were engrossing and entertaining I think I have covered the series films in this post. Will post more later.. I have many favorites ![]()

Its also based on real life wiseguys. Pescis role was based on this boy, bad boy. He even looks like Pesci and he was as nasty as Jimmy Burke and Two-Gun Tommy..... combined. ![]() http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Spilotro Bo |

One movie that I forgot to put on my list is "Coogans bluff". I don't know how I forgot it because I really like everything about this film. Probably it is my favorite "Clint" movie. Something peculiar about it is that nobody dies in the movie. Unbelievable but true, a Clint Eastwood movie were nobody dies.
For people not familiar with it. Clint is a New Mexico Marshall who goes to NYC to bring back a criminal from New Mexico who gets captured in NY. Clint goes there and in the meantime, the bad boy escapes and Clint looks for him. This film is very stylish. Bo |
