Amazing how it's still great.

 

True...I saw the HD transfer for the first time earlier this year, and it was like a completely new movie. I was just entranced by all the colors and visuals and detail...truly an amazing film!

I know I will be absolutley HAMMERED for this but (sighs).....the 2010 Wolfman remake.

I know I know, this movie has gotten negative reviews, but I loved it. The special affects were amazing (see oscar nod) as was the action, but that wasn;t the major reason I liked it. The main reason is how meaningful it is. It;s a character story, and I really felt for the cursed Lawrence Talbot, suffering through the hatred of the fellow villagers and putting the woman he loves in great danger. The acting was fantastic, especially Del Toro and Hopkins, there was a great twist and (again sighs) I teared up a little at the end. A underrated, underappreciated masterpiece

A very good, old friend of mine wrote the screen-play for this...he hated it, but, like you, I thought it was really good...maybe not "favorite movie of all time good", but very underrated.

Everyone always has two favorite movies, the one they say to people that is their favorite, and the one that is really their favorite. The one that they say is their favorite is a critically acclaimed movie that they liked a lot but isn't really their favorite. Then their is that movie that is really their favorite but its not the most critically acclaimed so they don't like to admit it.

 

My favorite movie (The one I tell people) Forrest Gump

My real favorite movie Superbad.

For me it would have to be Shawshank Redemption.

 

I don't have one fav because there are just so many exceptional films. But Shawshank Redemption ranks high up there in my book. I don't often purchase movies and I often debate as to whether a specific film makes my cut. Shawshank made my cut.
