Halloween is coming up. Should I make a thread for Halloween movies, or should I continue this one? My favorite horror movie is Ridley Scott's Alien (1979).



Currently (Re-)Playing: Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void Multiplayer, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Currently Watching: The Shield, Stein's;Gate, Narcos

I wouldn't say I really have any favorite directors. I generally don't pay much mind to who's directing what.

Some of my favorite movies include;
Gladiator
The Matrix
The Departed
Inglorious Bastards
Django Unchained
Die Hard
Ocean's Eleven
Fight Club
Coming to America
Batman (The 89 version)

But I could go on for ages really.....I have tons of favorite movies

Are you my lost twin or something? 

Exactly this list. 



okr on 23 October 2017

Charlie Chaplin, Billy Wilder, Ernst Lubitsch, Fritz Lang, George Cukor, Frank Capra, Michael Curtiz, Robert Wise, John Ford, Vincente Minelli, Stanley Donen, Arthur Penn, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Akira Kurosawa, François Truffaut, Jean-Pierre Melville, Sergio Leone.

Directors still alive: Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Pedro Almodóvar, Hayao Miyazaki.

Honorable mention: Director/Producer John Lasseter for bringing back intelligent fun to US mainstream movies in 1995.

I won‘t list favorite movies, just thinking about compiling a list of movies I love and then pick favorites would take me a week and drive me mad.

It's not out until November 21, plus Amazon are being real dicks at the moment by locking a lot of sci-fi behind Prime... Dunno when I get to see it. It's on my to buy list anyway.
