Glad you said Dumb and Dumber as well. That movie is a quote machine. One of the cleverest comedies around.

GeneticKiss 08.20.2010 12:36 AM

Favorite Horror Movie?

Alien

Favorite Western Movie?

Haven't seen enough westerns to say

Favorite Movie Soundtrack?

Can change a lot. Right now it's tossup between Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Lost Highway, but Judgement Night has an awesome soundtrack too (never seen the actual movie).

Favorite Comedy Movie?

First thing that comes to mind is A Fish Called Wanda.

Favorite Romantic movie?

I can never enjoy romances because I end up feeling jealous of the characters in the film.

Least favorite movie by your favorite director?

Drawing a blank. Most of my favorite directors have pretty good records.

What movie character's "life" would you like to experience EXACTLY as it exists in the movie?

Let's be honest here: Who would want to be a movie character? If you're in a horror movie, you experience the worst fear you've ever felt in your life and have a couple of your closest friends die horribly (or die horribly yourself); if you're in a comedy, you go through a series of shocking embarassments; and if you're in a romance, you get the girl in the end but not before she breaks your heart royally. That said, Ferris Bueller.

Favorite animated movie?

The End of Evangelion

What is your favorite movie animal?

The raptors in Jurassic Park. Before that movie, no one knew they existed; afterwards, they were everyone's favorite dinosaur.

LifeDistortion 08.22.2010 05:07 AM

What nightmares are made of: George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead
I want to be a cowboy: The Wild Bunch (I'm surprised to see so many people hating on westerns)
Dig those Tunes: "Stand By Me" been a long time since I bought a movie soundtrack
Barrel of Laughs: Monkey Business
All you Need is Love: Harold & Maude
Bad Film/Good Filmmaker: Torn Curtain
That's me up there: Navin Johnson "The Jerk"
Its NOT a cartoon: Akira
Movie pet: Gizmo the Mogwai (But only from "Gremlins" not the sequel)

chicka 08.22.2010 10:30 AM

Monkey Business is an excellent choice I almost went with it myself but what about Coconuts or Night at the Opera or Duck Soup or A Day at the Races or.....you get the picture. Also like The Wild Bunch as I personally love westerns.

LifeDistortion 08.22.2010 01:06 PM

I've recently been renting Marx Brothers movies from Netflix, and have been really enjoying them all. I've been renting them in chronological order. I think I've seen parts of "Duck Soup" but not certain if I've seen it all the way through. They show it a lot on TCM. Right now I've got "A Night at The Opera" in the queue. I've seen up to "Horse Feathers". Yet after I saw "Monkey Business" I thought that was easily one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

lucyrulesok 08.22.2010 02:09 PM

Favorite Horror Movie? - ooh i'd go for nightmare on elm st for a cheesy one and wicker man for actually downright terrifying.

Favorite Western Movie? - i've only really see the quick and the dead (that i can remember)..... sorree

Favorite Movie Soundtrack? - akira

Favorite Comedy Movie? hmm pretty tough - think i will go for mallrats, always in the mood for that


Favorite Romantic movie? ummm, maybe there's something about mary? haven't really seen many romantic movies.

Least favorite movie by your favorite director? sweeny todd. ok tim burton is not my favourite director but i reeeealllly like some of his movies, but the recent ones are just toss.

What movie character's "life" would you like to experience EXACTLY as it exists in the movie? gail weathers from scream. lulz.

Favorite animated movie? akira for srs, but i guess the disney robin hood too :D

What is your favorite movie animal? bagheera.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.23.2010 08:37 AM

Favorite Horror Movie? A tie between Psycho and The Shining

Favorite Western Movie? The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Favorite Movie Soundtrack? 2001: A Space Odyssey

Favorite Comedy Movie? The Jerk (honorable mentions: Dumb and Dumber, the Big Lebowski, Slap Shot, and Peewee's Big Adventure)

Favorite Romantic movie? Empire Strikes Back. Annie Hall, Amelie, Une Femme est Une Femme, Pierrot Le Fou, Eternal Sunshine, Better Off Dead, Casablanca, and the Graduate (my first instinct) all came to me, but I decided ESB because of "I love you!" "I know." And also I just find it an interesting love story. They're on the run from the law, and they find a friend's to stay at. But their friend betrayed them, so they get captured, and Han has to be frozen before Leia's eyes.

Least favorite movie by your favorite director? I've yet to see Eyes Wide Shut, Barry Lyndon, or AI, so I have to say it's a toss up between Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket.

What movie character's "life" would you like to experience EXACTLY as it exists in the movie? Teen Wolf. Or Lane Meyer in Better Off Dead. WAIT NO. Corbin Dallas in the 5th Element. Yeah. Or maybe Han Solo. Because he not only is awesome and gets the girl, his best friend is a Wookie.

Favorite animated movie? I'm having a hard time choosing between Peter Pan, Dumbo, and Winnie the Pooh which were my favorites as a kid. Add in Akira and Wall-E, newer favorites. . . and I don't know. Dumbo is the most emotional for me.

What is your favorite movie animal? There are a lot I like, but I can't think of one as a definitive favorite. And CHEWBACCA IS NOT AN ANIMAL, HE'S A HUMANOID!

I kind of lean towards Monkey Business as the funniest of the lot. When you get done with the Marx Brothers if you've never seen W.C. Fields check him out he's great with the comeback quips like Grucho just not as fast. Also a must see for comedy Billy Wilder's (excellent director who seems to be overlooked in here) Some Like It Hot.

Rob Instigator 08.23.2010 10:28 AM

I love the early Marx bros, when they were adapting their stage act for screen

"I couldn't fool you on a piece of pipe, right? a woman like you..."
