These are my favorite movies. I can't say which one is my all time favorite, but all of these are movies that leave me in tears.

Bananas out of that set; not the finest Woody outing, but then The Meaning Of life wasn't the Python's finest hour, either...

I like The Meaning of Life of those.

I don't like almost any of those.... but I'd have to choose Indiana Jones, those are terrific action-movies back when action movies where a mix of fun, clever stunts and some pyro.... today they are exclusively pyro bullsh*t.

The only one that would make my all time best is "Raiders of the Lost Ark." "Back to the Future" (the first one) also comes close. I do like the others, but there are much better.

I've seen it, but I don't think it's as great as the hype makes it. And I love a good low budget cult movie too. Check out "Dark Star" sometime.

Out of those, Back to the Future, but if you had included Monty Python and the Holy Grail instead of Meaning of Life I would have picked that.

I went with Indy. Now had you put Life of Brian instead of Meaning of Life, there might have been a contest. As it is, Indy rules them all.

The Meaning of Life is one of the most funny and sarcastic movies that I've ever seen!... Anyway, most of the Monthy Phyton filmography is really awsome. You can also try Jabberwocky the first movie made by Terry Gilliam after he left MP... freakin' funny!

I love Floyd but would have to say Python as its a classic.
Oh wait its the meaning of life, that film is rubish in my opionion. Life of Brain is so much better, The Wall it is.

And since Communism in its purest form has never been practiced in anything larger than a Commune, Its pretty hard for it to be blamed for anything. Any socioeconomic system enforced through Totalitarianism is purely Totalitarian. Nothing more, nothing less.

Those of you who took offence at the thread starter's sig probably didn't realise two things:
1) he's not been around for a long time (check his profile); 2) his signature is a pun ('party' as in 'having a good time')
As to Communism causing the death of over 100,000 people, it is nothing but the truth - however, I would also like to remind you that most churches (especially the one whose seat is in my hometown of Rome) have done exactly the same.

Hmm....communists have killed people...
"Christians" have killed people (obviously true practicing christians don't go for the murder thing)...
And wait...get this...
HUMANS have killed people
What's up with that sh*t??

I dont know whats dummer, to critizes in the first place something that
is obviously a joke, and if not, his beliefs, or to actually try to
"defend" that person by saying that other groups, being it Christians
in this case, have killed too. Do we all have to live with a burden on
our sholders? Or do we all have to be in silence?
Make fun, yes, laugh at something, yes, critize it, no! Whats wrong
with Comunism? In the purst, theoretical form its actually not that
bad, and dont come with "It has not worked out in the real life, so Comunism does not exist...", please dont, that would be very, very stupid

No, it didn't. If they had read their bibles more closely, they might have discovered that nowhere does Jesus instruct them to go around killing people.

I would kindly ask you to refrain from referring to my post as 'dumb'. Last time I looked, it wasn't meant as a compliment. And no one said that Communism doesn't exist or anything like that. Anyway, I think this thread was about movies, and not politics or other such stuff.
Back IT, though I have sort of stopped watching movies, I have seen my fair share over the years. Among my favourite movies there are quite a few comedies... If I had to mention two, I'd say Some Like It Hot and The Blues Brothers. They are full of totally hilarious lines, and both feature great music as well.

hmmm... sticking with the movie theme... and with the detour into communism
From my favorite movie.... ever....
I told myself it was beneath my dignity for arresting a man for
pilfering firewood. But nothing ordered by the party is beneath the
dignity of any man, and the party was right: one man desperate for a
bit of fuel is pathetic; five million people desperate for a bit of
fuel will destroy a city. That was the first time I ever saw by
brother, but I knew him and I knew I would disobey the party. Perhaps
it was the tie of blood between us, but I doubt it. We were only
half-tied anyway. Indeed as a policeman I would say, get hold of a
man's brother and you're halfway home. Nor was it admiration for a
better man than me. I did admire him, but I didn't think he was the
better man. Besides, I've executed better men than me with a small
pistol.
