Akin to the "Musical Picks" topic, I want to hear what your all time favourite movies/television shows are. It can be anything from action to drama to sports to romance (who watches that anyway though?). Don't be shy and don't be mean to other members, even if they really did enjoy Superbaby-Geniuses or whatever that piece of crap was called

 

I'll start off with a couple of my favs; I find most of the ones I put down are great films all together, but have shining endings.

 

Blood Diamond (Thriller/Drama): Leo DiCaprio picks up a sick south african accent in this eye-opening thriller/drama. Great music but if you're a Leo fan, you can probably already guess how it ends lol.

Friday Night Lights (Sports): I'm not a football guy, but the cinematography and story made this a refreshing change to the typical, predictable, sports movie. Plus, the instrumental music by Explosions in the Sky fits perfect (note: the trailer is crap, watch the film).

The Lord of The Rings Trilogy (Fantasy): If you are on a Lego forum where Lego LOTR products are frequently discussed, you probably already know how awesome the films are. If you don't, I'll leave it up to the mods to immediately revoke your membership to BrickPicker (jk).

 

And last I'll just end with my favourite TV show, which is probably going into its final season this year, The Mentalist (crime procedeural): this murder-a-episode series focuses on a former psychic who is now tracking the serial killer who murdered his family. The show can be light and funny, but when the serial killer ("red john") gets involved, it can get pretty unnerving. The series has spent 5 years tracking down murderers so feels a bit tired, but it is still my favourite. And, I'll post a trailer for the 3rd season finally:

Phew, if you got through all that... you don't get bored easily, do you? Now tell me your picks!

You wanted the best, you got the best. The BEST made for TV movie in the world:

Another Chucky movie?! Good grief, how much more can they stretch that plastic wacko? Ah well, the Child's Play films were certainly more entertaining than the Friday the 13th ones. I could literally feel my braincells dying off one by one as I tried to plug through the first two in the Jason Voorhees saga. If you want true horror, watch Nightmare on Elm Street or Hellraiser. Those were wicked awesome.

I categorize Chucky movies as comedy. All the over the top screaming over a 3 feet tall plastic doll.

 

I used to like Nightmare on Elm Street movies until they went all meta with a movie about making a Nightmare movie.  Heck if I look hard enough I bet I can find my floppy disk with Nightmare the game in it.

The last film in the series "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" was an oddity outside of the conventional series, and the first sequel "Freddy's Revenge" was an atrocity with its 'possession' story crap or whatever which isn't surprising because Wes Craven had nothing to do with that one. The rest of them are good though. I wasn't keen on the remake they did a couple of years ago really. It went in a lot of different directions that didn't make sense and the character of Freddy lost his 'killing' charm.

I have never seen the appeals in these movies. I can't get into them.

Dafuq did I just watch?

I am curious what everyone watches?

 

I am a big Law and Order Fan. Otherwise I'm all comedies in order of best down, my top five:

 

1. Seinfeld - best show of all time hands down.

2. Aqua Teen Hunger Force

3, Family Guy

4. Archer

5. The League

 

What do you guys like?

1. Pawn Stars

2. Star Trek

1: Person of Interest 

2: Flashpoint (now retired)

3: Elementary

4: Hannibal 

5: Game of Thrones

1: Pawn Stars

2: Star Trek

Pawn stars is really good. I get entranced, sort of like Law and Order, and watch it like 20 times in a row. Lol

Sherlock

Dr. Who

Downton Abbey

No love for modern family?

Now we know that spener90's British. :)

I was about to say - some bias going on there.

 

My wife loves sherlock too much.

Criminal minds is really good too.

I know Americans that watch Sherlock, and who's mom, sister, or wife doesn't watch Downton Abby.... but when he said Dr. Who, I knew he was British! Not that there's anything wron with being British.

I have never seen the appeals in these movies. I can't get into them.

Chucky has never been high on my list of movies really. At best, they're kind of fun to watch on TV when I'm bored.

Dafuq did I just watch?

Honestly, I have absolutely no idea either.

Betcha wish you could do this:

Sherlock

Dr. Who

Downton Abbey

Sherlock was a brilliantly done fresh take on the classic character with an excellent portrayal performed by Benedict Cumberbatch.

I've heard a 3rd series is in the works.

Dr. Who will always be a classic and I am still trying to gather ever story released to DVD. I have watched some Downton Abbey (not from the beginning unfortunately) and found it to be a nice departure from the norm.

If you liked the BBC version of Sherlock, then about Jekyll?

Sherlock is a brilliant take on modern day Sherlock Holmes.  This Sherlock is well versed in modern technology and uses it in addition to his brilliant mind to solve the mysteries.

 

 

Speaking of classic detective shows, is  anyone a fan of Agatha Christie's Poirot ?  It is probably the best interpretation of the novels.  I used to watch this pretty regularly and am actually pleasantly surprised to learn it is still ongoing.

"Well First Think its best to see it in IMAX 3D if Possible, I thought Avatar Was the Best IMAX 3D, But Pacific Rim comes in second. So IMAX 3D is the way to go." OK as for the movie itself, all I can say it was great, Its like Godzilla and Transformers mixed together. The Bad Monsters are called Kaiju, and the Human Robots are Jaegeers. Action Starts as soon as the Movie begins a slight slow-up in the middle but then all Action, Lots of Robot and Monster Fights, A Few of the Good Robots get Killed Off, Top Notch Acting all around, the special effects were great, One of my top 3 Movies of the summer, so go see it, take your kids to they will like it to. So I Give it a 8/10 Score. Hopefully the New Godzilla Movie is half this good. Ed

Pacific Rim looks like it might be theater worthy. I haven't been since Man of Steel, I'm going through popcorn withdrawal and I think my hearing is coming back

Pawn stars is really good. I get entranced, sort of like Law and Order, and watch it like 20 times in a row. Lol

I like ironic television, so I'll watch anything on History channel as long as its not historical... Heh. Counting Cars is good, too.
