My absolute favorite movie of all time.

And my favorite scene, which precedes the one you posted.

I got Holy Grail on DVD and have watched it a few dozen times. So many classic lines. I also saw Spamalot on Broadway and it was just as funny.

Toga! Toga! Toga!

Best comedy movie of all time.

10/10. I want to say I first saw The Blues Brothers at least ten years ago at the age of 7 and haven't stopped loving to watch it since.

What I would consider the second best comedy movie of all time (though sometimes ties with Animal House).

This is one of the best scenes in the film:

Blues Brothers Mall Chase

If you haven't seen Slumdog Millionaire, do so now. I was skeptical, but I loved it. I'm going tomorrow to see the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It jumped up to #70 something on the IMDb Top 250 list, so I'm forced to go see it as I'm already on #200 something.

Slumdog Millionaire was a great movie.

I think you'll love Curious Case of Benjamin Button J. I wasn't sure going into the movie whether it be good.

But 3 hours later just about, I had a different mindset. It was easily my second favorite movie of the year (Dark Knight was #1) and even gave Dark Knight a run for it's money in my opinion.

You won't realize how fast time flies by in the theater if you get into it. Brad Pitt played one of his best parts in years but it's the women of the movie who make it. Cate Blanchett's best acting by far.

Yeah, Benjamin Button looks great. I just couldn't find anyone to go with me until tomorrow. I hate going to movies alone.

I wouldn't mind going to the movies alone but for whatever reason I never do go alone.

still no one has gone to "doubt"?

i still dont get the dark knight thing...and what about the tom cruise nazi thing..?

animal house was great..blues brothers was great....

horrid new year's confession....i have a thing for john travolta....its like a damn illness...if you turn on "staying alive" or "urban cowboy" ...i go into this unnatural trance and will stop what i am doing....blow off appointments and watch it. the scene where scott glenn eats the worm....okay too much info..sorry

 

[Jon]

still no one has gone to "doubt"?

I might take in a double feature tomorrow and see that along with Benjamin Button. I love Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

i still dont get the dark knight thing...

I'd say it's a guy thing, but I know a lot of girls who liked it - and not just for Heath Ledger. I think because Batman is such a staple in the superhero world that it's nice that someone is finally portraying at the story as it was intended. To me, though, The Dark Knight plays more like a crime drama than a superhero movie. You can definitely see the director's love for movies like Heat.

and what about the tom cruise nazi thing..?

I vowed to never see another Tom Cruise movie after War of the Worlds. Even though I LIKED War of the Worlds, I HATE Tom Cruise. Lions for Lambs was a box office embarrassment, and Valkyrie isn't doing so hot either. If it weren't for his cameo in Tropic Thunder (for which he got a fucking Golden Globes nomination...wtf?), his career would be dead.

 

[strollingbones]

the nazi movie release on christmas day....even i saw that as a rather odd thing....given the choice of taking your kids to a nazi movie or a guy and his dog movie...o gee....

tom cruise let scientology or however you spell it....ruin his career...and you really shouldnt be rude to matt on the today show

war of the worlds was okay as far as that type goes...

yes i really like seymour...his capote was excellent

El Cid staring Charlton Heston

Amazing movie, for three hours you are in mideval Spain and for a change the Muslims and Christians fight side by side under the Cid.

A real old time 'epic' movie well worth watching with surprisingly few slow spots.

 

[PoliticalChic]

watched it on dvd last night...2 hours of my life...gone...

Strollingbones, what didn't you like about it? I'm set to watch that one soon. I hope I'm not going to wasting 2 hours as well. BTW, Happy New Year.

I just rewatched Slumdog Millionaire. I'm still debating with myself over what rating to give it. 9/10 seems appropriate, but it's probably the best movie I've seen since Pan's Labyrinth, which I gave a 10/10 to.

Also, I decided not to go to the movies tonight. Gonna go tomorrow probably. I want to see Benjamin Button, because I want to decide which of these two films deserves Best Picture nod at the Golden Globes. Benjamin Button looks good, but I can't imagine it being this good. I'll have to see for myself.

One thing I will say...Bollywood can put out some amazing films.
