The Energon Pub

didn't see the topic existing, so thought i'd thow it out ther

whats your favorite movies?

Personally I cant get enough of:

They live- "rowdy" Roddy piper as a homeless man fighting aliens. one of the best movers evar IMHO

Nightmare on elm St- all of them. freddy is the man

Dawn of the dead (the remake)- hey, it was an awesome zombie flick

Transformers the movie (the 80's one)- obligatory TF movie (and better than bay's stuff)

Deathrace 2000 (the original one from the 70's)- Stallone, carradine, and wanton violence. whats more to ask from a cheesy action flick

The Royal Tenenbaums has to be my favorite movie of all time. There's a lot going on this movie: family issues, drugs, cancer, stabbings, boobs and more, which all culminate in a very bitter sweet ending.

And OP, yeah Dawn of the Dead 2000 was awesome. Every part of that movie just didn't seem cheesy at all, not to mention it was the movie that INVENTED running zombies. They used to be all slow and tired. They should have called the movie Dawn of Zombies on Speed.

WALL·E

Favorite Movie? That I have no doubts about. Dogma! Anyone who's seen it could probably guess why.

Probably The Notebook.

Robot Jox was fun because it was so cheesy. It was robot-on-robot action way before Michael Bay had a TF thought in his pea-sized brain.

I completely forgot about Robot Jox! That was a great movie! Well, great in a horrible way. I'm sure i just created a paradox somewhere.

If you're going to throw a TV series in:

Band of Brothers
Red vs Blue ----OF COURSE
Voltron
TF of course....

TV series?

Supernatural
Las Vegas
Most of the TF series' (not a big fan of the trilogy or BM)
Voltron
Thundercats
The Batman
Batman Beyond
Always sunny in Philadelphia
Any series with Chef Gordon Ramsey
Burn Notice
Sons of Anarchy
Lupin the III
Perfect Strangers
Twilight Zone
Deadliest Warrior
Boondocks
Persons Unknown

Event Horizon
Shaun of the Dead
Judgment Night
Ghostbusters

Oh, that was good! Denis Leary played a really awesome bad guy. The story was somewhat out there, but it was good. The only other movie I've seen Stephen Dorff in besides Blade.
