I think it's important for people to know at any given moment the answers to all life's BIG questions...
Favourite artist, favourite number, who would you have dinner with etc etc.

My favourite movie OF ALL TIME is actually a franchise. It's the Rocky franchise. If I were forced to pick one, it would be the last one, Rocky Balboa.
This franchise has such depth it's amazing. If you haven't seen them, you need to go rent them and watch them back to back, in order.
If you don't have that kind of time, just watch the first one and the last one, although you'll be missing out.
If you don't even have THAT kind of time, just watch the first one.

Best movie ever.
What's yours? And don't say some Disney/Pixar animation formula crap unless you want to risk my losing all respect for you... This is the best movie of all time here!
Go!

nzlockie: Best movie of all time is definitely The Godfather.
But best movie I've seen is Raiders of the Lost Ark.
My favorite movie though, is The Lego Movie.

nzlockie: The lion king.
The animation and the live London production.

They both made me cry.
Also, The Blind Side. That didn't make me cry but it's awesome.
I'm not sure if I trust anyone who doesn't have their face as their profile.

best movie with main characters being Asain is Shaolin Soccer, hands down.

9spaceking: Shaolin soccer has a great second half, first half is really boring though.

admin: true true, first half is more or less set-up, random comedy relief, things go much more exciting from the transcending scene. Nevertheless, the black-and-white scene is really really darn cool. I also LOVE the contrast between the beginning and the ending...technically the movie could've just ended at the point where the villain is shut in jail, but I really like the add on. The beginning, people are falling, failing, getting fired, but at the ending, everybody's awesome at Kung Fu, and the main character plus the woman are a couple! I really liked the movie!

best sci-fi movie is Source Code in my opinion. Although mostly because Matrix has WAAAAAAY too much stop motion for my viewing pleasure, and S.C. has a far cooler ending (it was cheesy for a few seconds, but then it backtracked and managed to obtain the super cool mood it had set up)
