Ah, yes. Good comedies. :) Have you seen The Kentucky Fried Movie or The Naked Gun trilogy? Those were done by the same guys that did Airplane. Also, if you like Mel Brooks and his stuff, have you seen the live stage musical version of his movie The Producers? I saw it when it was showing in San Francisco a year or so ago. That was excellent.

QUOTE
Shrek and Shrek 2
The Incredibles

Yes, the Shrek movies and anything made by Pixar are high on my list.

QUOTE
Goonies
The Labrinth

Those were fun movies, though Jennifer Connelly seemed out of place in Labyrinth. David Bowie was great though.

QUOTE
Ice Age

That was a real surprise hit for me. I had never heard of Blue Sky Studios until that came out. If I remember correctly, they showed a preview of the movie in front the first Lord of the Rings movie which was the first I learned of it. The preview was the entire opening sequence with Skrat and the acorn. The animation quality and the humor just blew me away. The characters are just great in that movie. I still enjoy watching it. I even have a large movie poster of Skrat. :)

I just saw Ice Age 2 which wasn't bad. I don't think the story was as good as the first one, but the animation was simply stunning. There was so much detail and nuance in the movements, and the rendering of the characters and the environment was jaw dropping. The lighting and sense of depth they could achieve was great. And the rendering of the fur and feathers was unbelievable. They did the most realistic looking wet fur I've seen so far. It looked like it was a real fantasy world you could reach out and touch.

On the opposite end, I also saw Disney's The Wild recently. Boy was that poor. The animation was pretty, but the story just meandered around and ended up no where. It was one of those movies where you keep looking at your watch. Like Chicken Little, it's another in a long string of duds for them. It's a good thing they bought Pixar. Disney needs all the help they can get.

QUOTE
Chronicles of Narnia
Ocean's Eleven
National Treasure
The Matrix
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Good stuff! Particularly the Lord of the Rings movies. I got the extended versions on DVD and I think they're great. If you like the movies, I highly recommend at least renting the extended versions once.

I like all three of the Matrix movies as well.

QUOTE
Dark City

Ah, one of my favorites, too. I think that's one of the best sci-fi thrillers ever made. It wins on both story and visuals. I wish they'd make more movies like this.

Let's see, other movies I like:

Star Wars Series
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Terminator 1 & 2
Jurassic Park
Ronin
The Lion King
Balto
Classic James Bond movies like Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds are Forever

And many more! :)

I really like it, too. I think it's a very underrated movie. In addition to the plot, the visuals, the sets, the music and so on, one of the best things about it is that they bring it all together and resolve things at the end, as well as explain everything. Some sci-fi thrillers never really resolve at the end and leave too much unexplained. I want that closure at the end myself. I like everything to be revealed.

Another thing that impressed me was that it was one of the few times that the movie turned out as good as the trailer looked. :D So many times a preview looks good, but the film turns out lousy. And a lot of previews I see really leave me flat, but I remember seeing the preview for "Dark City" in the theater and thinking, "I gotta see this movie!" And the movie was everything I hoped it would be.

That definitely doesn't happen very often. The previews for "Ice Age" and "The Lion King" were two others that really impressed me (and the movies turned out great), but there aren't many others like that.

Yes! It did indeed have Sean Bean in it. He was a secondary character during the first half of the movie. It's definitely worth seeing if you like realistic type spy thrillers. It's very down to earth: no silly spy gadgets and no impossible stunts. It's a very believable and involving movie. And it also has two of the best car chase sequences I've ever seen. They're very intense and don't contain any impossible stunts. It's all stuff that could happen with real world physics. I highly recommend it if you like that type of movie.

I totally agree with ya there Furox, one of the very few underrated movies that turned out so great. Its funny how I heard about Dark City; I was just watching TV one day and all of a sudden I see this trailer for this movie "Dark City" and I was really excited! but I guess it suddenly faded away and forgot about it. Then later on, I listen to a remix song from the movie and I'm like "Woah! Deja Vu!" so went back online to search it and sure enough there it was! I watched the trailer so many times cause it just blew me away! couldn't really buy it since I haven't seen it :( but as luck would have it, it came on TV! so me and my parents watched it and I was like "OMG!! BEST MOVIE EVAR!" ^_^ ^_^ they liked it too hehe :dance: and yea everything came together, the ending was supurb :faint:

Oho, have I been there! Some trailers are good and bad like you said, so I think the bad ones are when you see all the cool car chases, sexy women, explosions! well you just saw the movie! :lol: :lol: but yes it was everything we could hope for and hopefully future movies could be more like that :)

Wow! sounds awesome, finally a realistic spy movie! I'm real tired of the whole little inventive gadgets that no human could do and "impossible stunts" too <_< defintely take your word for it and check out that movie :)

I just LOOOOOOOVE movies! :wub: :wub: just watching and talking about them makes me feel good of how hard they made this and to be in "one of the best movies"history and really did make a difference :)

Yeah, the movie worked on so many levels. In addition to the great story, the music and the visuals were perfect. The whole film noir look they chose just added so much to the mood.

The Dark City DVD is great, too. Some nice bonus material including two commentary tracks. One of them is by Roger Ebert. He did the commentary because he likes the film so much. He rated it as one of the top films of 1998. He also says the movie so exemplifies good film making that he used the movie as a case study in a film study course he taught at one of the Chicago area colleges. So not only do sci-fi fans like me enjoy the film, but so do the critics.

Boy, with all this talk about the movie I think I'm going to have to pull my DVD out and watch it again sometime soon. :D

Yes, I'd say it's worth seeing if you like spy thrillers. It's nice and down to earth: the spies just use guns and cars for the most part. The story is very involving, with double agents and betrayals. You never quite know who's on whose side. Though things resolve at the end which is good.

QUOTE
Oh man! those were all great movies! ESPECIALLY the Indiana Jones trilogy, Jurassic Park and all the classic James Bond movies!

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was really something. At the time, no one was making movies like that, and it just exploded on the scene because of all the pent up demand for a serial style story with a great hero like that. I'm not sure if it shows, but that movie was an influence on how I wrote There's a Dragon in My Time Machine.

"Star Wars" was the same way: no one was making sci-fi movies like that at the time. It was just so new and different for a change.

And speaking of sci-fi films, who else likes "The Fifth Element"? I thought it had a great balance of action and silliness. :D I find that movie just plain fun to watch.

DargonXKS - May 12, 2006 12:28 AM (GMT)
Hmm... favorite movies, let's see...
Well as far as current dragon movies go, I think that Dragonheart has been one of the best dragon movies to date simply because it came the closest to creating a dragon similar to how I envsion them to be.

I also love the Lord of the Rings movies just as I loved the books! As for other adventure type movies I love the Indiana Jones movies too!

Some of my favorite Sci-fi movies are the Star Wars series, Serenity, most of the Star Trek series, The Fifth Element, Event Horizon even though its more of horror, Galaxy Quest, and certainly a few others.

The list goes on...

Yes, the CGI in the episodes 1 through 3 is really stunning. It creates such a fantastic world and let's them use settings that they could never build sets for, practically speaking. I just love the fact that it let's them visualize worlds that otherwise could never exist on film.

Well as far as current dragon movies go, I think that Dragonheart has been one of the best dragon movies to date simply because it came the closest to creating a dragon similar to how I envsion them to be.

I really like that movie for the same reason. Draco comes across so well in that movie, and for that style of dragon, that's really how I would like to imagine them. Of course, I also really like the Dragon Booster style of dragons even though they're quite a departure from the traditional.

It's amazing: that movie is now 10 years old, yet the CGI on Draco (both look and animation) is still top notch. If they made that movie today, the only thing that would be different would be that they could afford to keep Draco on screen more since the CGI costs have come down. But the quality that ILM put into Draco way back 1996 is as good as it would be today. The CGI in that movie still impresses me.

QUOTE
I also love the Lord of the Rings movies just as I loved the books!

Those movies are all great. I saw them all on an Imax screen when they came out and it was an awesome experience!

I have the extended versions of all three on DVD, and if anyone here is a fan and hasn't seen those versions, then I highly recommend them. The extra footage isn't superfluous at all. It really enhances the whole experience of the overall story. And there's a lot of extra material. The extended version of the third movie is like 4.5 hours! And it's all good. It never gets boring if you can believe that. And then you've got two discs of behind the scenes footage to explore as well!

QUOTE
As for other adventure type movies I love the Indiana Jones movies too!

Those are definitely popular movies. They're just plain fun to watch. (I've got them all on DVD, too.)

They were both great in that movie, and they played off each other real well. As you say, a great balance of action and comedy. The movie was such an extraordinary vision.

Yes! Everybody I've ever met who likes this movie always mentions that scene. :D It's a great example of cinematography and how you can inter-cut two otherwise unrelated scenes to create something that's far more visual and dynamic than either would be on their own. It's amazing how a sequence can be enhanced like that just by skilled editing. I have such an appreciation for people who know how to do that. And as I've mentioned before, the cinematography in Dragon Booster just impresses the heck out of me as well.

QUOTE
ever rode the Indiana Jones Ride at Disneyland?

Have I! :D I swear I'm not exaggerating when I say I've probably ridden it over 100 times since it opened in 1995. I'm a huge amusement park and theme park enthusiast. To date, I've ridden 364 different roller coasters all across North America and Europe. And I love all the Disney parks. I've been to Disneyland more times than I can count, Disney World in Florida almost as many times, and I've been to Disneyland Paris as well. (Tokyo Disneyland is next on my list.)

In fact, I leave on a trip to Disneyland in two more days! I'll be down in Los Angeles all next week. I'll be at Disneyland most of the time, but I'm also going to Knott's Berry Farm and Magic Mountain as well (a new dragon themed roller coaster just opened there!). I can't wait to go!

I'll have my laptop with me, but if I seem less active on the forum next week, then you'll know why. ;)

I'm with you there. I think episodes 4-6 were stronger, more satisfying stories. I wouldn't say I dislike episodes 1-3, as they are fun to watch, but they don't leave me with the same feeling as 4-6. There's certainly a lot more emphasis on CGI eye candy in 1-3, and perhaps that distracted them from the story. But I can also see that Lucas had a really hard job to do with 1-3. I think it's really hard to do satisfying prequels like that given that everyone knows what happens in 4-6. It's sort of like you already know the ending. Those must have been tough to write.

Lets see my favorite movie(s) are

The Lion King
Shrek 1 & 2

Ooo, good choices! The Lion King was awesome! And the two Shrek movies are definitely the best animated films to come out of Dreamworks to date. They're supposed to come out with a third one next year.

Ah, so many good movies. Now I want to pull out my DVDs and watch all these again! :D

Don't really have any favorite actors/actresses. Although there are some good movies. Harry potter, dragon heart, star wars and other movies that are in the sci-fi and fantasy for me. :dance:

I don't really go in for actors/actresses, altough the only one I really care about at the moment is David Tennant, as he plays the Doctor in Doctor Who at the moment. But as this is a movie thread, not a TV thread, he doesn't really count. :P

Favourtie movies, hmm...Well, all of Pixar/Disney's movies bar Monsters Inc. (saw that WAY WAY WAY too many times) and Cars (haven't seen that yet, don't really want to).

I generally can't STAND movies that are set in 'real' situations and locations. I think it's because of the usually urban setting. Urban is just so dull and grey, IMO.

I really liked The Lord of the Rings because of the beautiful shots and imagery used in the movies.

So, generally, I go in for fantasy/comedy/historical movies.

Recently I saw Ice Age 2 on the plane to Alice Springs. I thought it was rather good. It was quite sillier and more funny than Ice Age, and I think that worked in it's favour.
