A Bronx Tale starring Robert De Niro and Chazz Palminteri no if ands or buts

My favorite movie that is full of great life lessons good music and a great coming of age story then you sprinkle in a few monsters and you have the makings of a perfect film.

Plot Summary
As he grows into a teenager on the streets of the Bronx in the socially turbulent 1960s, Calogero (Lillo Brancato) gets taken under the wing of neighborhood mobster Sonny (Chazz Palminteri). Sonny initiates the boy into the ways of gangland life, in direct conflict with his straight-arrow bus driver father (Robert De Niro). But when Calogero falls for his African-American classmate, Jane (Taral Hicks), the repercussions threaten the entire neighborhood.

Tough choice but I have to go with Kill Bill
The fight scenes are amazing and make it my favorite film.

So hard to choose! :anguished:

If I have to decide on one, it has to be Rear Window.

Also in the running are North by Northwest, Notorious and Rope. I’ve got a bit of a Hitchcock thing. :sunglasses:

So many excellent movies. @AnkerOfficial It would help you do this quarterly, each should be a different genre :slight_smile:

Sound of Music for musicals.

Kid with Golden Arm (1979) for martial arts.

Saving Private Ryan for drama.

I have like the Matrix. The first one. It is a sci fi terminator with virtual reality. Inception was another good one.

The Princess Bride is one of my absolute favorites. I even read the book, and that’s huge, because I don’t read books AFTER I’ve already seen the movie. It makes you laugh in all the right places, it has all the feels, swordfighting, pirates, and hello… Billy Crystal! What else could you possibly want in a campy rom-com?
A very, very close second, Deadpool. Because the Merc with a mouth is, uh, flipping awesome. I absolutely loved every bit of that movie. The music, the action, that mouth, the sarcasm, breaking the 4th wall, his roommate. I’ll stop now, I’m kinda fangirling here.
I will admit, two totally different movies over 3 decades apart, is kinda odd. Guess I shouldn’t mention Annie (1982) or Pillow Talk (1959) then. :flushed: BTW-Only in my 40s, just like classics. :innocent:

My favorite rom-com has to be About Time. The story is amazing and the ending made me tear up. Otherwise, in the action category, I really loved all of the movies for the Mission: Impossible series, especially the recent ones as they seem to up the ante every single time.

So many to choose from…but mine would have to be;

Castaway (2000)…first rate acting from Hanks that I think even eclipses his performance in Philadelphia

Schindlers List…perhaps one of the few times we got to see Neesons acting chops

Braveheart…perhaps Gibson’s finest so far

Too bad for the both of us as I’d love to learn I’m owed a nice chunk of Scottish inherentance! Or a sliver of land even if only to squat on :grin: But hey, at least we’ve got our claim to fame (whatever that’s worth!).

I work in a very disfunctional manufacturing facility (probably why I am looking for a better employment oppertunity…) and for me and most of the people I work at Office Space seems to be the one we all reference the most. Best parts are the Milton and his red stapler,

the ongoing saga of “The Bob’s”

And just about every other quirk involving copiers and reports means I will always watch at least some of it when it is on TV.

I would also like to give a runner up shout out to Zombieland

Space-Balls and Airplanes has to be my favorite movies of all time because they have a good sense of comedy and is clean adult humor. :sunglasses::heart_eyes::relaxed::stuck_out_tongue:

My all time favourite movie is without doubt, The Lion King. It taught me a lot as a kid, and as an adult I still watch it. :smile_cat:

Others that make the top of the list:
The Lord Of the Rings - tend to watch this on stormy winter day when I don’t need or want to do anything but stay cosy at home!

Blade Runner - open ended, thought provoking, sci-fi movie. What more could I want?!

And anything by Studio Ghibli when I’m feeling ill or upset. Howl’s Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke are two of my favourites here.

For me I have to say the whole MCU movies I grew up on reading marvel comics and I could never imagine the the comics I read as a kid to be turned into movies and they were ( in my mind ) just as good and even better
