In my opinion, nobody comes even close to Jim Henson and the fantastic movies that he made. For those who don't know I'm not talking about the Muppet movies, but rather the other movies he made like Labrinth, Dark Crystal and Legends. At least I think Legends was the name of that move... There's probably more than that, but nothing comes to mind right now.

Frank Oz has my vote for lifetime achievement award. Who else was so involved with people like Jim Henson and George Lucas? Exactly...

You mean the movie in which the unicorns get in trouble and the world turns dark? The one with the devil with the frikkin' huge horns? That's called "Legend", great movie, an ex-girlfriend of mine actually knew the entire movie by heart, she could watch it and mouth along the entire thing.

Jim Henson did have the skills, yeah.

My Movie-Related To-Do List

1.) Watch 2001 until I understand it (could be awhile).
2.) Ditto Blade Runner.
3.) Realize I forgot to make popcorn.
4.) Make popcorn.
5.) Start list from beginning again, skipping steps 3-5.
6.) Watch Alien, Aliens, and Alien3 to clear my head with blood, gore, terror, and brutal violence to alien critters ( :cry: ).
7.) Repeat, just for the hell of it.
 
hey darkshade, whats your favorite Alien or Aliens? personally i like Aliens cause of the marines and everything plus Ripley kicks a lot more ass in the sequal. Although i give credit where credit is due and Alien is a lot scarier.
 
I like Alien because it is scarier. I still can't watch the air vent scene because it is deeply disturbing, somehow.

Oh, and a neat thing. I went frame-by-frame during Brett's death, and you can actually see the alien's second mouth go through Brett's hat, into his skull and it pulls some of his brain out. Nasty, but cool.
 
me... well, prepare for some unusual titles... here's some...

- cardcaptor sakura the movie 1
- SIN the movie
- Macross plus movie version
- Patlabor WXIII the third movie

all anime... i'm just addicted to them...
 
hey

I just watched Citizen Kane based on some of the lists posted here, and I have to say it was pretty good. The guy who played Kain was pretty good, and some of the camera angles used made me pretty surprised because it was a 40's film in which most films had the stationary side camera.
 
Kane is played by Orson Welles himself, the director of the film

Citizen Kane is a true turning point in cinematic history, the way it was filmed was remarkable and very much so renewed the entire industry, not to mention that it was filmed during WW2, which makes Welles' achievement even more impressive.

And do realise that Citizen Kane uses the backtrack storytelling, i.e. you start at the end ("Rosebud") and end...well...a bit later, but you know now the real story, including what Rosebud is. Tarantino isn't all that original, when it comes to that.
 
I like any film with a good car chase, something with lots of car crashes, explosions, and violence. My top five films are here:

(film title/year/who stared in it)

1. Falling Down (1993) Micheal Douglas, Robert Duvall
2. Ronin (1998) Robert De Niro, Jean Reno
3. Blues Brothers (1980) Dan Akyroyd, John Belushi
4. Die Hard With A Vengance (1995) Bruce Willis, Samual L. Jackson
5. Matrix (1999) Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne

What is Rosebud? i remember it as a password in Wasteland. You found taht password in the sleeping area in the Citadel and it was used to open the vault in the same citadel. That vault would countain pseudo-chittin armors .
 
Rosebud:

MAJOR CITIZEN KANE MOVIE SPOILER WARNING

"Rosebud" is the last word Kane says before he dies. The movie Citizen Kane is about a reporter trying to find out "what is Rosebud" or "who is Rosebud" and why he/she/it is so important to Kane. The reporter doesn't find out, but at the end of the film, you see a wooden sled being consumed by flames as Kane's house is being cleared. There's a single word on the sled; "Rosebud"

The sled if from an earlier scene, when young Kane is taken away from his parents (with the sled) to become rich, basically. The sled represents a happy youth lost, and the importance to Kane signifies the mayor moral of the story; money and power aren't everything and can in fact ruin a man's life, signified moreover by the following conversation somewhere in the movie between Kane and the man that raised him (Thatcher):

Charles Foster Kane: You know, Mr. Bernstein, if I hadn't been very rich, I might have been a really great man.
Thatcher: Don't you think you are?
Charles Foster Kane: I think I did pretty well under the circumstances.
Thatcher: What would you like to have been?
Charles Foster Kane: Everything you hate.
