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!

Looks great.

Eh.  I'll see it once I can rent it for free at the local library.  I prefer the original LOTR trilogy.  Can't win them all.

I believe the LOTR trilogy movies were made first because they were more "movie" material, so I'm not surpised that there are some folks out there not thrilled about the movie. I do think that The Desolation of Smaug was a bit of a let down, but the Battle of the Five Armies appears to be redemption.

So this is gonna be my 500th post and I guess there is hardly a better place for it than this thread.

Thanks for sharing the trailer, it really looks awesome.

 

I do have high hopes for this movie and I'm really looking forward to watching it.

The LEGO sets didn't really wow me though... (at least I like the dragon!)

Looks promising. Not as good as LOTR, but still good.

This looks amazing.  Hopefully it will spark some additional interest in both the LOTR and the Hobbit line....not real sure how anyone can like one but not the other.

Love these movies. The high frame rate 3D is very impressive. Never seen more immersive movies.

looks very very good! cant wait!!

Avatar - 3-D IMAX set the standard for me.

Well, it is a nice looking shoe. I can

Well, it's more than a shoe this time.

That carriage was so full of gold you would think the fairy was overcompensating for growing up in poor neighborhood

Nitpick: when she was a housemaid, Cinderella's costume was too clean/bright/colorful. Why couldn't they make her costume dirtier and duller ? Was this due to the target audience ?

And.. Robb Stark FTW !!!!

Wowie zowie, they certainly put a whole lot into this version.

Ha. That much gold, I'm surprised the thing could actually move.

Her maid's outfit did appear awfully clean. I can only recall seeing some smudged dirt across her face from sweat. I don't know; I didn't pay a lot of attention to that detail much as Helena Bonham Carter being the Fairy Godmother which is perfect. :wizard:

Continuing to earn the Troll badge on a daily basis, this one is.

I hoped for some mickey mouse action or something :-P

The tip off was that this was posted here at 12AM, if it had been legit, some die-hard here would have posted it earlier in the day when it was actually released.

 

That said, I still clicked it..... 

 

"...and somehow I still enjoyed this more than Episode I"

 

The guy is right about that!

Based on that trailer, if this doesn't earn JJ Abrams a Grammy, nothing will.

Simpsons Lego episode is on Fox in case it was you want to record it.

Ah snap, we all just got Brick Rolled.

George Lucas is a helluva tenor.
