Ok, since there isn’t too much up here, how about everyone’s favorite film of all time? I have a feeling that most are going to be a Burton/Elfman film but for some weird reason mine isn’t…
Ok, ya’ll are going to hate me but it’s The Neverending Story
BUT…my second favorite is Batman, so it’s not all horrible. Oh, and just so you know, Moroder’s score for TNES isn’t my fav. score of all time…I acually can’t pick one, too many awesome scores.
Knight (You can all kill me now hehe)
You’re right. I hate you and will kill you now.
Just kiddin’!My favorite movie of all time is “Return of the King”. But Spider-man is my 2nd favorite movie and Spider-man is my favorite score. That is, until Spidey 2 comes out (yay! Can’t wait!)
“A Night At The Opera”
Which was just released this month on DVD for the first time ever with 6 other unrealeased MGM made Marx Brothers movies in a wonderful box set.

How in the world can someone dislike Kubrick? He was one of the greatest directors. The visual effects in “2001” are still breathtaking even today, and that movie came out at about the same time as Star Wars.
Favorite movies of all time … hmmmm … it changes with me. Right now, I’ll have to go with:
1.Magnolia (Every scene in that movie is absolutely perfect, and the score rocks)
2.Ed Wood
3.Rear WindowNext week, they may be replaced with others.
Actually it came out about 10 years before Star Wars (1968, but with the level of great Special Effects in it you wouldn’t know that from just looking at it).
My favorite Kubrick film would have to be Dr. Strangelove with Lolita in second place (gotta love Peter Sellers).

Hahah! Speaking of lame movies, Has anyone seen “The Apple”? Downright horrendous, but very funny.
“Magic Apple, Mystery Apple, Take a little bight, let me be your guide, through the apple paradiiiiise!”
How can no-one even have mentioned Donnie Darko? Or for that matter, the Labyrinth?
*sighs* The halcyon days of David Bowie in jodhpurs…. :S
J.R.
I dig Donnie Darko–but it isn’t my favorite movie.If you’re going for favorite-favorite (which I think you are), I’d have to say BeetleJuice.
I don’t know. I just love every single thing about that movie. Everything. And Michael was just fantastic. Not to mention Danny’s saucy score. Or Tim’s snazzy version of the afterlife. Or. Well. Like I said, everything.
Dylan, I bet you’re proud to be an 18-year old who likes big boys movies.
I know a 15 year-old online who adores the same kind of films. That’s the youngest I’ve met so far that likes this kind of stuff. Don’t forget that a lot of older people hate this stuff. High school is a terrible life though if you love foreign films and orchestral music (especially film scores) but thankfully high school is coming to a close for me pretty soon. However, if you want to be a filmmaker, as I do, you probably won’t find better inspiration than foreign films. As far as being proud, no, though it is sort of unheard of.
Though I must admit to know some people in the film industry who also dislike 2001. That one is really either love or hate, I suppose. And “Big Fish” is on my top 5, and it seems that most people hate that film. Anyway, take care.
Big Fish was friggan AWESOME! Who said that they hate it? I’ll KILL ‘EM!!!
Knight (Who thinks Big Fish was Burton’s best film to date)
