I just had a movie marathon over the weekend with my girls and watched some great movies from the past, including 16 candles, the goonies, the godfather, a bronx tale, and others. What are some of your favorite movies?

the goonies is a friggin classic.

dont think I have seen 16 candles, but of course the godfather is just pure class

16 candles is that brat pack movie from the 80s with Anthony Michael Hall. Of those brat pack movies, I would have to say that The Breakfast Club is my favourite. Judd Nelson played his role pretty well. Some would argue that Saint Elmo's Fire is the ultimate brat pack movie, and to a degree, I agree, but I just like how The Breakfast Club was presented, although, had it been like 30 minutes longer, it might not have been as good, considering that we are seeing a bunch of kids locked up in school on a Saturday.

My all-time favourite movies would be the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Who wouldn't want a friend as loyal as Samwise? And just apart from that, the movies have a LOT of heart. "For Frodo" is one of the most touching moments in movies for moi.

The Godfather is sheer brilliance. I don't think that there will be a mafia movie that will ever rival it. I pray that they will never remake such a masterpiece.

The Star Wars movies are also amongst my favourites, with episodes 4, 5 and 6 being the better trilogy.

The Shawshank Redemption is another favourite. You gotta love the symbolism in his escape when Andy has to literally crawl through shit in order to reach freedom.

Yeah, WAY Too many good movies that have left their mark on me along the way. I could go on, and on, and on.

Incidentally, a friend and I were also taking about having movie marathon weekends from time to time. Would actually be great... but I have also discovered Poker since then, so I dunno how eager I would be to partake in the MM weekends.

A few of my recomendations to everyone who asks for them:
-Snatch
-Formula 51
-Trainspotting
-Pink Floyd: The Wall
-Shaun of the Dead
-Hot Fuzz
-L4yer Cake (Layer cake)
-Transformers (forgive errors)
-Clerks
-Clerks 2
-Roadhouse (excessive 80's nudity)
-Legend
-Bram Stokers Dracula
-Dune

That should be enough to start with.
Let me know what you think if you watch any of them.

I almost forgot... One of the most important

Boondock Saints



Cheers

If you want the ultimate movie marathon get all the James Bond movies and watch them one after another

Tons of fun

And should you like musicals I'd reccomend the movie Across the universe.

So good.

I love mob movies like the godfather and a bronx tale... goodfellas is a good one too! I heard about a new one that is coming out soon called Wisegal it looks pretty cool because there is a female slant to it.. I guess ill have to see if its good when it comes out.

I believe wisegal is a made for tv movie starring Melissa Malano on WE... Though I could be wrong...

It is a TV Movie release, its sheduled to show on the Life network next weekend,
James Caan and Alyssa Milano - A drama centered around Patty Montanari (Alyssa), the widowed mother of two who went to work for her lover Frank Russo, a captain in a Brooklyn crime family.
