dARKSTAr Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 This is my list, i'd be interested in hearing yours. 1. Casablanca: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains ? Superb Cast, Story and Acting. This is my favorite film for many reasons. Every single line is a classic line and this is one of those rare movies that you can put in and your girlfriend will love it and you will too. It is thrilling, brilliant film making. Fave Lines: Ugarte: You despise me, don?t you? Rick: Well, if I gave you any thought I probably would. Renault: Why did you come to Casablanca? Rick: For my health, I came for the waters. Renault: The Waters? We?re in the middle of the desert! Rick: Well, I was misinformed. Fave Moments: Too many to list, and as with the favorite lines part I don?t want to give away the film to those who haven?t seen the movie. However the moment that grows on me each time I see it is when Lazlo leads the crowd at Ricks place in a rousing rendition of the French National Anthem which drowns out the Nazi?s singing the German National Anthem. 2. Apocalypse Now: Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando. Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Larry Fishbourne (his first movie) Cameo by Harrison Ford - The Vietnam War on Acid, very loosely based on Joseph Conrad?s Heart of Darkness. Fave Lines: I hardly said a word to my wife until I said ?Yes? to her divorce. My orders say I don?t know where I?m supposed to take you, so I don?t. But one look at you and I know it?s going to be hot. He?s close man. He?s real close Fave moments: The opening sequence and the attack on the Vietnamese Village. 3. Lawrence of Arabia: Peter O?Toole, Omar Sharif, Anthony Quinn - Definition of Epic film making, gorgeous cinematography. Fave moments: The famous switch shot of the match blowing out to the rising sun. which is reminiscent of a similar shot in ?2001? with the rotating bone in the air to the space station. I also love the scene at the well. Beautifully shot. 4. Goodfellas: Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci ? Prototypical gangster flick. Fave Lines: It?s hard to quote any lines from GF since nearly every line has a swear word in it, but one of my favorite clean lines is ?I ordered spaghetti and all I got was egg noodles and ketchup.? Fave moment: Pesci?s ?Why am I so funny? sequence and the card games with Spider. 5. Citizen Kane: Orson Welles ? Absolute Power corrupts absolutely. Fave Line: (Yeah, yeah, I know its clich?d, but it?s got to be) Rosebud! Fave moment: Kane clapping for his wife at the opera when everyone else has stopped. 6. The Godfather Part II ? Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton ? Coppola gives us a second offer that we can?t refuse and it?s better than the first. Fave Line: Fredo, I know it was you! You broke my heart. Fave moment: All of the DeNiro scenes in Italy. Pacino?s face when Kay tells him that she had an abortion. 7. Schindler?s List: Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Raif Finnes ? Heart breaking movie with one of the most evil characters ever created on film. Fave Lines: I think we better have that drink now. I pardon you Fave moments: The german officer maniacally playing the piano while they liberate the ghetto. 8. Unforgiven: Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman ? The western that shattered all the myths of the genre. Fave Lines: Little Bill: You just shot an unarmed man. Munny: Well, he should have armed himself. LB: The Duck of Death. Uhh, that?s ?Duke?. LB: Duck, I says. Fave Moments: The end shootout, and Munny and the Kid talking about death before Munny rides into town before the last shootout. 9. Taxi Driver: DeNiro, Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel ? Harrowing Disturbing movie, there is a belief that Scorsese made the best film of the 70?s with Taxi Driver, the best film of the 80?s with Raging Bull and the Best Film of the 90?s with Goodfellas. Not that bad to have on your resume, but this movie still bugs the hell out of me and I?ve seen it many times. Fave line: Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere, in bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere, there?s no escape, I'm God's lonely man. Fave moment: Sport dancing with Iris. 10. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef ? More of a moralistic opera than a western, it has amazing cinematography and it grows on me more each time I see it. Fave Lines: Tuco: "God is on our side because he hates the yank!" Blondie: "But god is not on our side because he hates stupid idiots" Tuco (Trying to read a letter): "See you soon id...., id...., id...." Blondie (Taking the letter from him): "Idiots. It's for you." Fave moments: Tuco searching for the grave and the brilliantly shot shootout at the end. Okay, that?s my list. What?s yours?
