    I think Anthony Hopkins is good in whatever he's in. Vigo Mortenson was really good in "The Road."

    I like Angela Bettis. I don't think she's been in anything big, but she's believable.

    I thought "The Exorcist" was the creepiest movie I ever saw.

    "Seven" had the best twist of all time.

    Bladerunner
    Robocop
    The Matrix (part 1)
    12 Monkeys
    Creepshow
    Full Metal Jacket

    I don't really care for spaghetti westerns, but I think Tombstone is my favorite western, and Deadwood was an awesome series.

    Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was the most memorable for me.

    This is hard... I actually have to agree with Wrathful Buddha on Viggo. He can do just about any genre very well. Johnny Depp is quite good also.


    Keira Knightley... and no, it's not just because she is astonishingly beautiful.


    Not really any one in particular.


    Either Fight Club or Shutter Island.


    In no particular order:

    The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (is that cheating?)
    Pan's Labyrinth
    Paris, je t'aime
    Shutter Island
    Inglorious Bastards
    300

    No, I don't.

    All time is difficult. I would say Ed Norton is my current favorite.

    Again... ignoring all time... I like Maggie Gyllenhaal lately.

    The 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. It may be the worst thing I have ever seen. I give a strong second to Manos The Hands of Fate... both for creepy and worst film in history.

    A Boy and His Dog

    Ugh... I just can't do these "all time" things. I have thousands of films. I watch way too much film. Off the top of my head...

    The Matrix
    Once
    Inception
    Star Wars (episode V)
    Alien
    Blade Runner

    Fistfull of Dollars

    Probably Kung Fu Hustle... even though that wasn't what you were asking for.

    Hard to choose, but I am going to go with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's a very wooden actor, but I love all his films.

    Jodie Foster, hands down. No one even comes close.

    Sir T made me think of a film - The Lottery. I don't know if its the same one he mentioned but the movie I saw of that name gave me the chills for weeks afterward.

    Can't think of any off the top of my head, but I liked the ending of Inside Man. Being able to pull off a bank robbery in such an ingenius way is up there with the best.

    Terminator 2: Judgment Day
    The Terminator
    Terminator: Salvation
    Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines
    Panic Room
    Dante's Peak

    You can tell I'm a massive Terminator fan. ;)


    I don't even know what a spaghetti western is!

    I haven't seen that many films with martial arts scenes, apart from a few Jackie Chan films.

    1)Brad Pitt. Many actors with awesome portfolios, but his work to date has been by far the most versatile, can play anything, and still has half of his career to do more.

    2)Too much sexism in Hollywood. Tough to call. They all look pretty and cry on que. Any woman can do that. Claire Daines can bring quality to any role. Julia Roberts probably has the best resume but I don't like her on the screen. Cate Blanchet was awesome as Catherine Hepburn in Aviator.

    3)Witchboard. When I was a kid. Probably would be dumb now.

    4)The Game. Michael Douglass and Sean Penn

    5)I don't know if I could pick a favorite 100. Watch a lot of movies. LOL

    6)Of course. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

    7)Not my favorite. Could still be a good show like the Rush Hour ones, but if strictly martial arts would not even bother. I don't mind watching real fights, but choreographed fights can't be the center of the movie.

    Seriously... find it. 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. It will ruin anything close to respect for Lucas. I strongly recommend you find the Riff Trax (guys from MST3K)... it is the only way it is watchable.

    Worst thing ever.

    Yes... the real cast is in it... though most of it is made up of Chewies extended family...[​IMG]

    Leah belts out some awesome lifeday songs... a seemingly never ending friendship song from Bea Arthur...

    and... of course these things...

    It was billed as episode IV 1/2... and introduces Boba Fett (animated middle bit).


    You are the only human on earth who could watch this thing on its own... however... again... I strongly recommend the riff trax version.

    Hard to choose just one. I like Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor and Colin Firth, but I'm going to have to go with Gary Oldman.

    Meryl Streep, with Glenn Close not far behind.

    Nothing stands out, since I don't watch many creepy movies.

    Sort of drawing a blank. Maybe the Sixth Sense? I could probably come up with something better if I thought about it some more.

    Torch Song Trilogy
    The Princess Bride
    Apartment 0 (that's a zero)
    Monty Python & The Holy Grail
    Raiders of the Lost Ark
    Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

    Not that they're the best films ever made, but they happen to be my top favorites.

    Pretty much 'no' to both.

    Tough call. Maybe Stallone? He's kind of typecast, but I like what he does.

    I'll give this one some more thought. There are a few others I'm weighing.


    Fight Club. Seven and Shutter Island were good answers too, but I saw both of those coming before they happened.



    Oh man, quite a few. At least a couple of Bruce Lee flicks. I'll get back to you on this and the other ones I didn't answer.

    Anyone seen the remake of 'True Grit'?

    I just bought a film, this week - 'Old Boy'.

    Not watched it yet, but it is very rated.

    I hate remakes too. But the new true grit surprised me. I think they did the old one justice. Kept to it.

    Yes, very funny. Edit: I should perhaps clarify - My mother is the one who got me hooked on it.

    Never saw it.
