[0maxpower0]

Another night of poker and movies. Both went fairly well, but toward the end of my session I found that I've watched all the movies i have.. sigh. Im always trying to find good movies, but im running out of options, figured this would help...
Feel free to post your favorite movie of all time, Not asking for it cause i couldnt pick one myself, but I'd love to know...
Your Favorite...
-Action Sequence
-Fight Sequence
-Story Line

Figure any movie that would fall into one of those is worth watching.. So let me know I need more movies and im interested to know what movies rank as your favorites... If i watch scarface one more time i think i might explode meng!!
I guess to start it off
Ronin car chase scene all of it (if you havent seen ronin SEE IT)
jackie chan final scene drunken master (posted about this before, not much response, watch this SCENE)

-Action Sequence
-Fight Sequence
-Story Line

Wow, tough one...

Action Sequence -

I love the car chase in swordfish. As i also love the car chase in the Matrix Reloaded. Thats brilliant CGI. Pretty much the entire film of "Eagle Eye" is action, so all of that is good. The car chase vs the Joker in "The Dark Knight", now theres a good car chase for ya. All of "Wanted"? Mad film, but great.

Fight Sequence -

Con Air. Good bit in that.
Also Harry Potter 5. The voldemort vs dumbledore vs potter vs bellatrix where

Spoiler

Sirius Dies

Is great too.
ANything from Shoot Em UP

Stroy Line -

The Island? Thats awesome IMO. Mainly for scarlett but a good idea behind it.
Eagle Eye i love. Dunno why.
Layer Cake.
Sex Drive!!!

I'm not sure about action sequence, but for my favorite fight sequence I definitely have to go with the swordfght between Westley and Inigo in the Princess Bride. It's even more impressive since neither of them knew a thing about swordfighting before the movie.

As far as storyline:

I Am Sam
Labyrinth
Mr. Holland's Opus
The Life of David Gale (don't trust Ebert and Roper on this one, it's amazing!)
The Notebook
The Princess Bride
When Harry Met Sally...

I strongly recommend all of these movies!

The lastest movie I wacthed and I liked was Into the wild.
Such a nice story.
That probably lots of non-north-americans dosent know about.
That guy Alex Supertramp, he is amazing.. That hippei on the beach is so @#*( funny..

The action scene i liked most was on that movie ( hero or it was House of Flying Daggers?? by Zhang Yimou ) i think... where is raining, and a blind music player playes that small trings intrument...
Its a such a felling of calmnes combined with hard swords fight... loveed

I think eejit gave you a really good list, and if you want a good laugh try Good Luck Chuck. The newest Die Hard movie Live Free or Die Hard has some pretty good action too.
