If we are talking live action stuff... At the moment it's Holy Flying Circus, I guess. A film about Monty Python and Life of Brian. Never fails to cheer me up. Somehow it manages to sound ridiculous and silly and bittersweet all at once.
Re: Favourite movie(s)?
It's kind of cheesy, but I've seen it like 15 times and it's my go-to feel good movie.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-19 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)I can watch Pacific Rim over and over and over again.
This is the End deserves a mention, but only really for the last two minutes are so.
the original 'saw'
it's gory and violent and repulsive and it doesn't pretend to be anything more. the atmosphere is just the right level of tense; it makes you sweat and gives you goosebumps but it's still very watchable. the detractors of the franchise have blown the level of gore out of proportion (though it increases in the last movies); the violence is suitably offputting but not puke-inducing.
the story is surprisingly good for an almost straight-to-dvd horror film, with a nice twist at the end. it keeps you guessing who the killer is (or second-guessing your guess) right until the end.
and the casting is... well it's pretty random, but i think it's the movie's greatest strength. i mean, danny glover, ned bellamy, ken leung and michael emerson, together, in a horror film? it shouldn't even work, but it does. somehow.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-19 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)Inglourious Basterds - i find everyone in this movie so ridiculously attractive it's not even funny anymore. The music is absolutely amazing.
Captain Corelli's Mandolin - okay so my feeling of this movie are a bit mixed, because on the other hand it's terrible but on the other hand it's based on the absolute best book ever so I still love it.
The Pianist - by now, you might've noticed a trend... I just really like ww2 movies, especially if they make me sad.
aaaaaand I'm gonna go ahead and recommend The Grand Budapest Hotel which came out like a week ago, because it's hilarious and great and amazing.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-19 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)Also I've been strangely enamored lately with the movie version of 1984 with John Hurt. He's brilliant as Winston, and the broken city feeling is captured exquisitely. One of my favorite book-to-movie adaptations, hands down.
Also I gave Soylent Green a shot the other day-- it's actually a lot less campy than I thought it would be, and if you're into dystopian sci-fi, you could do a lot worse.

Dumbo - pink elephants on parade.
The Philadelphia story. Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart, with a perfect script.
The Last Seduction - scarily clever and sexy.
The Matrix - the first one was so much cheesy fun.
My Neighbor Totoro - an idyllic animation I can watch again and again.

(Anonymous) 2014-04-19 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)FX: Murder by Illusion - 80s movie SFX guy gets hired to fake a murder of a state witness, and then gets accused of actually murdering him and has to figure out what went wrong where and how to fix it. Fun, in a slightly morally bankrupt MacGyver sort of way.
Young Frankenstein - 1974 Mel Brooks movie starring Gene Wilder as the infamous Dr Frankenstein's grandson who is drafted in to repeat his grandfather's folly. It. Is. Hilarious. Marty Feldman as Igor was the best thing that ever happened to me as a kid.
Arsenic & Old Lace - 1940s black comedy. And by black I mean black. The most hilarious serial killer competition you will ever see, and Cary Grant caught in the middle of it making the best faces in the world.

The Three Musketeers. Any version. Seriously. It doesn't matter. Though I kind of adore the one starring Gene Kelley as D'Artagnon.
Tremors. I love this movie so much, I can't even.
Big Trouble in Little China. Another Kurt Russell movie. I should probably just recommend anything he's in, because I also love Escape From New York, Breakdown, Dreamer, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes...
Point Break. Please don't tell me how bad it is. I know. I don't care. Keanu is in a wetsuit. Mmmm. Surfing. Mmmm.
Lilo and Stitch. As far as I'm concerned, the most perfect Disney movie ever done.
The Replacement Killers. An assassin refuses a job, and becomes hunted himself by three other killers. Did I mention the assassin is Chow Yun Fat?
I'm sure I'm missing some, but those are at the top of my list.
