Hmmm I really need to sit down and do difinitive lists of my favourite movies and music - but here's a few random choices for you (in no particular order)

*Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
*Freddy got Fingered - If you didn't find this funny, try smoking some drugs first
*Orgasmo - See above
*Halfbaked - See above
*Shaun of the Dead - Hilarious
*Hot Fuzz - from makers of SOTD
*Human Traffic - Too familiar
*Requiem for a Dream - thank god not familiar


That's all for now - I'll think of some more later

Seeing as I'm the most obscure and massive movie guru, there's absolutely no way I'd ever be able to do 'a few favorites' picking from any genre. However, I could go genre-by-genre, and such would be as so:

Overall beef supreme winner of the best movie ever no matter what:
Blues Brothers

Horror:
Silence of the Lambs - Hands down, best horror movie of all time.

Drama:
Seabiscuit - I don't know why, but I've always loved this movie, even though it's pretty much forgotten by now.

Comedy:
Life of Brian - Duh. OR
Idiocracy - Both are amazingly funny satires and very clever as well as gut-bustingly hilarious.

Action:
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Indiana Jones has to be one of my favorite characters due to the comedy and his portrayal of cynicism, and I always thought that the Last Crusade had the most interesting plot of them all.

Suspense/Mystery:
The Rope - Hitchcock is an absolute genius, and this movie always keeps you on your toes. OR
Brick - I can almost guarantee that nobody's ever heard of this movie, but it was pretty fucking great. Epitome of an indie flick, and all the actors were splendid, the story was tight, and everything fit so well.

Musical (excluding Blues Brothers):
Moulin Rouge - While most guys are turned off by the very nature of the movie, it's actually very well-constructed and interesting--from the visual exaggerations to the acting.

Cult Classic:
Donnie Darko - It's a tough race between this and Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I had to go with Darko, because it's just so...strange...and it really gets your mind pumping philisophically, trying to analyze the story which I like the best about it.

Of course there are so many more that I could add onto these lists, but it would take ages to spout my favorite movies, so I'm not even going to bother.

Harold and Maud:  Cat Stevens.  yeah. 

Dead Man: Recent favorite, and another cult-ish movie.  Very slow and somehow profound.

Jacob's Ladder:  KG from Tenacious D fame in his only acting role ever.  Really good horror with philosophical undertones. 

Waking Life:  Rotoscoping is perfect for this dream-like weirdness. 

Ronin:  Deniro used to be such a baddass. 

2001: A Space Odysey:  I love the melancholy coldness of space portrayed in this movie. 

Human Nature:  Actually everything by Charlie Kaufman and/or Michel Gondry (except that Block Parry nonsense) 

UHF:  "Supplies!!"  screamed after karate class jumps out of supply closet to fight bad guys.

My favorite movies (no particular order):

Airplane.  It's the funniest movie of all time, and I'm a sucker for good comedies (bad comedies too, actually).

The Seven Samurai.  A brilliant character study with awesome fight scenes.  This movie set a benchmark that has never been equalled.

Groundhog Day.  Amazingly deep and also incredibly funny.

Halloween.  No "slasher movie" before or since has been this quiet and just suspenseful.

Young Frankenstein.  Another amazingly funny comedy, it also stays faithful to the source material, providing the atmosphere of an old Universal horror flick.

Pulp Fiction.  Just an adrenaline rush.  It was like a roller coaster ride.  I was blown away when I first saw it.  I said "no particular order" above but this is hands down my all-time favorite movie.

Citizen Kane.  Knew the punchline long before I actually saw it, was still incredibly engrossed by the story.  I love the fragmented way it's told.

This is Spinal Tap.  It's dead-on, it never loses that appearance of reality, and I swear, it gets funnier and funnier every time I see it.

Saving Private Ryan.  My favorite war movie.  The opening and closing battles are astonishing.

Kentucky Fried Movie.  The Zuckers' (and I think John Landis', although I'm not positive) first movie, there's no real story and it plays like a raunchy SNL.  Except it's much funnier than SNL has ever been.
