Arguably one of the best movies of all time and certainly one of my all time favorites. It defined an entire generation and still holds a special place in the hearts of the new generation of fans: "I've outrun Imperial starships and I'm not talking about the local bulk cruisers I'm talking about the big Correllian ships." -- Han Solo Empire Strikes Back - The second installment in the greatest trilogy ever produced and my personal favorite. Han gets put into carbonite, Luke loses a hand, Leia loses a love, and Chewbacca loses a friend...it ends on such a down note which models real life as reality is nothing put a series of down notes. Plus a Wampa got an arm severed which is always cool: "Luke, I am Your Father" -- Darth Vader Return of the Jedi - Ah yes...the elusive third instalment. This movie has the HUGE starfight, multiple very cool explosions, as well as a massive land battle. It also had a seriously awsome lightsaber fight that had at its core the most basic of human battles...Good vs. Evil. And Ewoks...Lots and Lots of Ewoks: "The Mighty Jabba asks why he must pay 50,000. Becuase he's holding a thermal detonator!!!" -- C3PO Matrix - Never in history was there such a movie that pitted the Abnormal vs. the Normal in the realm of false realities and computers. This movie is both a technological thrill ride as well as a glipse into the world of non-traditional religious dogma. And most awsome of all, it had the greatest and most unexpected plot twist that I have ever seen: "You take the Blue Pill, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the Red Pill, I show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes." -- Morpheus Mallrats - Mindless fun coupled with an actual plot...it's hard to find movies like that anymore. Moderate amounts of violence melded with constant comic book and Star Wars references. My Kind of Movie: "Superman couldn't bang regular chicks. The only way he could do it would be with a kryptonite condom...and that would kill him." -- Brodie Starship Troopers - Space battles, seemingly unstopable gigantic bugs, big guns, and lots and lots of gore...need I say more?: "War! We're going to war!!!" -- Some Unnamed Infantry Guy That Dies Later. (I know that narrowed it down) Aliens - The second movie in the four-movie Alien saga is also by far the best. Alot of Colonial Marines investigate a colony on some remote planet that they have lost contact with. Cool military action results. All the colonists are missing, they find them, they are in an alien hive, they go to get them. Chaos Insues. Aliens became my favorite movie after some majorly cool weaponry and a botched editing for TV by FOX. "Look I'm telling you, something's moving and it ain't us." -- Hudson Jurassic Park - While I would like to completely disavow all knowledge of Jurassic Park II and Jurassic Park III, I absolutely loved the original. Cool dinosaurs, realistic scenarios, cool characters, cool equipment, cool battles...and no Spinosaurus: "God creates Man. Man destroys God. Man creates Dinosaur." -- Ian Malcom X-Men - As I am an avid comic book fan, hearing of the release of X-Men brought the taste of bile to the back of my throut as I vividly remembered such comic book based theatrical tripes as Captain America, The Hulk, and The Punisher. With the fordrawn conclusion that with material like the X-men the movie would either rule or horribly suck I went to the theater, watched the film with an open mind, and came out proclaiming that this was one of the best movies of all time: "People like you were the reason I afraid to go to school as a child" -- Mystique Total Recall - A blue collar worker upset with the boredom of his everyday life goes to a virtual reality place and opts to take part in a fantasy where he is a secret agent...then the procedure is supposedly botched. The next hour and a half are spent halfway between both worlds and constantly makes you wonder if he is in reality or the fantasy. A trip to Mars, a girl with three tits, a fake head that turns out to be a bomb, and a weird mutant that looks remarkably like a chest-burster from Aliens. The coolest part is that at the end of the movie you still don't know for sure if it is reality or the fantasy: "We sedated him and he started screaming about being a secret agent! You idiot, he is just living the fantasy! WE HAVEN'T IMPLANTED THE FANTASY YET!!!" -- Two Random Scientists     Syntax Error/:|Forum|Articles|
