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!

I'm not ashamed to admit that I liked Planes as much as my kids....can't wait for the sequel, that looks cute!

I personally loved both Cars films as well as Planes so believe me when I say that I too wait for the Planes sequel with much anticipation. What can I say other than Pixar always makes great movies. :)

A couple of my favorite parts that I can actually find on Youtube.

I can't, it's blocked at work!

So they still have "Mutant" in the title. You are not missing much exciter1. Just like other michael bay's projects, it has big building being destroyed, explosions, pretty girl, and slow motion :D

I don't like the way this looks.

First off, the building collapsing, WTF?  These are Turtles not Transformers, why do we have to destroy buildings?

If the Turtles didn't look so stupid, I might be able to get more excited about this.

The turlte smashing the Humvee, get out of here. 

I won't be seeing it a the theater anyway, fo sho.

Terrible!

I wonder who in Hollywood said, "This makes sense! People will love it!"?

Terrible looking! Never been a TMNT fan, but seeing stuff like this just solidifies why. Cheap gags in the trailer means even cheaper ones in the movie.
I`ll pass, and that goes for the Lego sets as well.

 

Terrible!

No kidding! There`s quite a few thigns that make me wonder the same thing. "Who in their right mind would think this is a good idea?" Lone Ranger anyone? 250m budget apparently. What a joke, and we`ve seen the horendous results of that.

Hmmm, think I'll give this a miss. The transformer films where S

All I can say is my kid loves the "TMNT" movie from 2007 and watches it over and over again.  It was subtle enough and went into new territory, rather than badly rehashing a once great idea.

 

First off, the building collapsing, WTF?  These are Turtles not Transformers, why do we have to destroy buildings?

 

Because Michael Bay.

Because Michael Bay.

Yeah, I know.  You guys may have seen this, but watch this DB fail at pitching a TV.

The last movie I really liked from Bay was "The Island".

Yep, really glad my kids aren't into Ninja Turtles yet.

The Nickelodeon animated series is pretty good, I've been watching it with the kids.  This movie looks like complete garbage.  Why did they have to make the turtles look so weird?  The heads are way too small, and they look too human.  And Megan Fox as April?  No thanks.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Bring back the "Corey's" from the 80's.....ooops I mean't Corey.  I'm so going to hell.

I think it looks cool and can't take my eyes of Megan Fox.

Was that a ninja turtle?  Because, I've seen Ninja Turtles... That..?  That looked like some weird mashup of a turtle with The Thing, with Sloth (from The Goonies)...

No, I take it back.  A turtle, mashed up with Michael Chiklis, mashed up with Sloth.

You got a +1 just for the Goonies reference.

Are Megan Fox and Michael Bay sleeping together?  First she tries to ruin Transformers, and now she is April O'Neil?  There is no other explanation for it.

 

Don't get me wrong, Megan Fox is very easy on the eyes, but that's where it stops.  She belongs on calendars, not in movies.
