I felt like the topics on here have been kind of repeating themselves (i.e. which camera? film or dv? etc. etc.). So I would like to take a moment and start a topic that every single one of us has an answer to.

What is your favorite movie(s)? and/or director(s)? Which one has influenced you the most?

some of mine include:

Road to Perdition
Singing in the Rain
Edward Scissorhands
Leon the Professional
Donnie Darko
The Truman Show

Tim Burton
Guy Ritchie
Luc Besson
Sam Mendes
Peter Jackson ("Dead Alive", "Bad Taste" era.)

NOW GO!

This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.
? Clint Eastwood

I didn't think about who directed it, I just watched it and thought it was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

not only did he direct it, but hes in it. im surprised you didnt recognize him as the undertakers assistant. he pretty much is doing the same character as derek from bad taste except hes only on screen for like 2 scenes i think.

"I'm a Derek. Derek's dont run."
-Peter Jackson as 'Derek' from Bad Taste

haha priceless

I'm gonna have to say that my all time favorite movie is Back to the Future (the first one, they're all good but the first one is the best).

Does anyone know who directed it?

i agree with robi. we need a movie talk forum on here.

this is kind of off subject but its still "movie talk"....

does anybody here like the movie The Deer Hunter with Robert De Niro? I always heard how amazing it was but frankly i thought it was pretty dull. i knew going into it that it wasnt a war movie as some are lead to believe but there was only about 10-15 minutes in that whole movie that piqued my interest. i mean, come on, that wedding scene was like a half hour long! a half hour! of obnoxious music and drunk dancing. one can only take so much. let me know what your opinions on this movie are. maybe im just missing the point.
