lol.... Know how to take a joke much??? Unlike you it doesn't get to me... Each to their own... Have you even seen Love Honour and Obey? the only one I like in your list is Pulp fiction...

i take jokes just fine but cmon you would of responded the same if not worse.
i think so is it set in london?

but for favorite Aussie movie would be CHOPPER, my dad ran H-Division as a Senior PO... So it's kinda fun to watch...

did he run it while chopper was in there?

Die Hard would be number one

One of the best action movies 100%

but for favorite Aussie movie would be CHOPPER

Not a bad movie Chopper, Eric Bana played an exellent Mark Read.
But I feel as though maybe the movie it self should've been a bit better, I donno that's only my opinion. I still like it alot, but not for a best movie of all time.

Now Mad Max, that for me is the best Aussie movie saga of all time.
And Mad Max II Road Warriors is one of the best movies ever also.

that would be a pretty crap job if you ask me.. anything where you have to deal with people who resent you would get annoying pretty quick.
im talking about the government of course.. hahahaha
nah your not all bad

seems like a fantastic movie for a Saturday....has to be cloudy and cold out though

Cloudy, stormy or rainy days always help eh hehe.
It's one of those movies that you just have to watch but yea it goes down better on a day like that.

I'm going with in the comedy genre Animal House.

And that's a fantastic movie for a saturday night! Nice choice. An all time comedy heavy weight.
Remember Porkys also? lol

The best thing about Chopper is that on the DVD special features the real chopper narrates the whole thing, it's funnier than the movie... I highly recommend you guys check that.

The resentment would not be the worst bit, it would be the long piquet looking after prisoners the violence...

Yeah haha. My film teacher in high school couldn't believe it was a Peter Jackson film.

I wish I had a prop lawnmower that could spew gallons of fake blood in seconds QQ.

Lord Of The Rings is definetly one of the best! I'm sure there are many many more I would choose, but I just woke up and that was at the top of my head.

Peter Jackson is what got me into film (though I threw the chance away to go to film school, stupid men) originally. The trilogy was just so epic. I watched all the behind the scenes stuff on the DVD sets before the actual film haha. I used to have a promo poster (huge one) from a theater but someone stole it QQ.

Now I'm depressed b/c I have a crappy hotel job instead of working in film. It's something I want to work out when I'm out of debt...well...when my hubby is out of debt haha.

So???
You can find anachronisms in each and every movie ever made, doesn't make it a bad movie.

Heck, in Gladiator you can see a guy's leg when...zomg...how did I forget his name. Give me a sec...when RUSSEL CROWE's character is looking at his horses in an early scene you can see a guys leg clad in blue jeans and a work boot haha.

lol.... Come on we know you like, robin hood men in tights, priscilla queen of the desert, babe, or any gay porn flick hahaha

I LOVE PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT!!!! I saw this AFTER The Matrix. I could never see Agent Smith the same again. But yes, great movie.

THE best movie of all time has got to be Lord of the Rings (trilogy)....

But, the best zombie movie is Ahhhh....Zombies! Best zombie movie I've ever seen!

I once rented The Stand. It was a 2 disc set. Accidentally put the second disc in first. About an hour or so into it I was like "this is totally different from the book" and my roommate broke it to me that I put them in the wrong order. I said "screw it" and brought the book out and started reading it haha.

How could I forget Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?! Definitely one of my top films.

"Cool Hand Luke" should make the top 5
