I always thought Alien was fantastic movie. Great cast, great atmosphere - a simple story that's probably as old as humankind, but done to good effect when set on a spaceship.
I remember seeing a...
The first film I recall seeing was actually on television. I was about 5, and it was "This Island Earth" (apparently I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as a kid - but I can't really recall it)
I...
I agree that Foundation (at least the 1st 3) are quite cerebral, but I'm sure that wouldn't stop Hollywood having a crack at it if there was a quid in it.
But if you think about it, Foundation and...
I'm from Canberra (Australia) and we have (arguably) 2 arthouse cinemas
Electric Shadows (I always thought that was a cool name)
and
Centre Cinema
There was the Valhalla in Sydney, but I...
Yes, John Hurt was the wand salesman.
The imdb claims that we was alive as recently as this year some time, so I don't think the old boy has dropped off the twig just yet. The imdb claims he was...
The brief case (including the battery and light globes or Mr Wallace's soul or whatever it was) from Pulp Fiction would be a winner.
Some of the props from Alien (the version of the alien that...

What about John Hurt. He could do Dumbledore OR Snape to a tee. John Hurt is so bloody good he could even do Harry Potter himself.
I took my 6 year old son to see the 1st one. I...
Mad Max 2 was good - but I think it lost the charm of the first one by being too concerned with the stuntwork. I understand that Mel Gibson had only 13 lines in Mad Max 2 - still that might have been...

Gotta disagree. Sure, Easy Rider might have been a simple story about a couple of drug addicted pushers on bikes on their way to New Orleans and all the fun and excitment that is...

Much as I'd like to be able to talk for all Australians, I think that it might be abit presumptuous.
I think "Picnic At Hanging Rock" would generally be liked by most Australians and I spose...
As I'm an Australian (yes, I'm loud, boorish and pig ignorant for the most part) I thought it MIGHT be interesting to see what others might make of a top 10 Australian film list. I realise that...
I'd have thought The Exorcist would have been head and shoulders above anything in this genre.
I like it! Ozzy likes it! Nuff said!

Dunno if Americans are provincial or not. Trouble is, I'm pretty provincial myself. I know a few Americans through work, and the ones I know strike me as good humoured intelligent folks...
I actually have 7 foreign films in my top 10, namely
Reservoir Dogs,Raising Arizona,It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World,2001:A Space Odyssey,Dial M For Murder,Casablanca,Trainspotting,
However, by...

What are cajones? I'm assuming that cajones are testicles - but I might be wrong.
Also, I'm hoping that cajones is an Americanism (perhaps a North Americanism) that I'm just not...
Here's my top 10 - with some memorable quotes (which I might have abit wrong)
Reservoir Dogs - "Everyone wants to be Mr Black"
Raising Arizona - "Nope - not unless you think round's funny"
...
I notice that neither of you have included "Dial M For Murder". I reckon Dial M is Hitchcock's best and would easily be in my top 10 of all time.
I guess I liked the atmosphere of the thing - and...
To be honest, I've never seen the movie, but I did recently finish reading "Charlie and The Chocalate Factory" to my 6 year old.
I found it odd that two of the kids got in strife from Mr Wonka for...

Don't want U2 think that I'm so nationalistic as to think Aussie filsm are the best in the world - but there area few gems..
Since you ask my favourites would include "Mueiel's Wedding"...
Yes - "What a co-incidence!" as Bill Hunter's character said in "Muriel's Wedding"
I know the internet is great and all that, but might it not be easier if we just went to the Tuggeranong Footy...
What about checking out The Nostradamus Kid. I would have thought it was clasic Taylor - if there is such a thing.
I have certainly seen it - and what a movie it is - violent (it makes Reservoir Dogs look like a walk in the park at times) funny and - well that's about it violent and funny. The 1st half hour is...
Dr Starngelove is a Kubrick film that is not Sparticus or The Shining - ergo it is a classic

It's that simple.
I've seen the 1st half of Full Metal Jacket (ie the part where they're in training) about 50 times and the second half about 5 times.
The first half is just so damn funny. Abit dark perhaps, but...
