For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It’s such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There’s just that extra something in that movie
What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?
The Princess Bride. It has great comedy, action, and romance. It’s influenced my sense of humor and it’s just so much fun.
Absolutely agree. Have really enjoyed passing it on to my two girls as well.
Yes, and now to my grandchildren!
i literally watched this because of this comment. great movie.
The cinematic masterpiece form 1999 starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz “The Mummy”
He was handsome, she was hot, great story, action, comedy and a great villain. Classic action/adventure/comedy mix.

Peter Jackson’s Lord of the rings fellowship, two towers, and return of the king extended editions.
It takes me 11hrs to do my hair and this is my go to series to watch while doing it.
lotr trilogy very good.
Hot Fuzz. I think to me it’s a perfect movie. So much great build up, very funny. Just so good.
I’m going to admit to some movie watcher crimes, i haven’t seen any of the godfather movies or the older classics like clockwork orange. However, of the movies I’ve seen it’s gotta be Shawshank Redemption for me. Beautiful movie everything about it hits so well.
The first Matrix!
This was mine for about 9 years until it was made into a tie with The Dark Knight
In Bruges.
“I can’t see! I can’t see!” “Of course you can’t see! I just a shot a blank in your fucking eye!”
That duo also did another movie together, The Banshees of Inisherin, which is about a remote Irish island and these two friends who are suddenly no longer friends.
The Big Lebowski.
I lie to people about how many times I’ve seen it because I don’t want them to think I’m crazy (if you though about a number, it’s more than that).
Every line of dialogue is simply a masterpiece.5th Element. Multipass. Super Green.
I got to see it as a double feature with Blade Runner.
Oh yeah. Watched it as a kid, it ignited my love for sci-fi. Flying cars and endless skyscrapers in all directions.
Top 5 for sure.

It’s a tough call between Fight Club and the Matrix. But id have to give it to the Matrix. That was groundbreaking and it still holds up.

I watched the Matrix 9 times in the theater. It was groundbreaking. I really wish they skipped the 4th one.
Aliens. Ripley and Vasquez are some of the best female action characters (with the alien queen coming in a distant third). The corporate claptrap from Burke and the setup of the mission is solid 80s cyberpunk. Every character has a great arc (except Burke - fuck that guy). Effects are amazing. The soundtrack is perfect.
It’s an incredible action movie.
Give Burke a break, man - he just made a bad call. No need to nail him to the wall or anything.
This one’s also mine. I’ve held off rewatching it for a while, waiting for what seems like forever on the 4K version to be released at which time I have a movie night locked in with my eldest daughter. Can’t wait!
At nearly 40 years old it has held up incredibly well.
Back to the future
I second this and add Fight Club, Star Wars (the original trilogy), The Matrix, Inception, Tim Burton 's Barman (both) and Indiana Jones (until the third). Oh, and The Family Man.
It must be no. 1.
It’s perfect as it is.
The Hunt for Red October
Give me a ping Vasily. One ping only pleash.
I must have watched this movie 20 times. Def in my top 5. Still haven’t read the book though.
The book is very good as well! Additionally, for me anyway, it doesn’t spark the internal struggle of, “The book/movie was better!”.
Be careful what you shoot at. Most things in here don’t react too well to bullets.
Be careful what I shoot at?!
If you love THFRO what do you think about Das Boot?
Just finished it. I’d heard about it, and many people recommend it when red October is mentioned (and vice versa). I’m not sure I’d put them in the same genre.
I’m not sure what I think at the moment. It was very long, but had some very intense scenes. I think it was trying to get me to feel deeply for the characters (especially the captain) but it didn’t really reach me (spoiler) Eg The people jumping off the burning ship.
I’m also not sure yet what to think about the fact that (spoiler) the whole movie takes place on the submarine, with no cut aways. I think on one hand it added to the tension of surface ships trying to find them, but on the other hand it was difficult to orient the story without visuals for location or relative locations.
I feel the length was included to show how boring it can be waiting for orders or enemies, but a shorter cut might’ve been more engaging.
It’s not a movie I’d go and rewatch in a hurry (if ever). Red October has much more rewatchability.
Snatch is such a great movie. For me it’s too close to call between Snatch and O Brother, Where Art Thou?. It took me a long time to realize that John Turturro was even in the movie because his acting is so out of character and well performed.
Ya like dags‽
Oh dawgs
Hot Fuzz. Every time you watch it, you discover some new joke or callback.
Yarp!
