I agree with all of those ^
If I didn't list a movie I've never seen it since you guys have really good taste
I'll add The Warriors,Rocky,Rambo and Hustle N' Flow (Just kidding), I mean Batman:Mask of the Phantasm
Jurassic Park is sort of a horror, I mean It's a tough choice there
I love the movie but is it a non-horror?

[Evil Dave]

Wow, I didn't realize anyone else had even heard of Idiocracy! I deff should have had that one on my list as it really applies to American society these days..................Donnie Darko is great too, and I think you can list it here as I wouldn't classify that as horror. Actually, I don't know what genre I'd really classify it as......All I know is that it's good!

[Alien_Destroyer]

I got lucky on Idiocracy to be honest. My dad rented it and put it on without me knowing, I was bored before that so I was helping my brother with a puzzle and once the film started my eyes were glued to that screen. I asked my dad the name of the film after and since then I've been a big fan. I think it's very true to where we are headed these days. Smart people need to pop out babies too!
Donnie Darko is a good psychological thriller thing I guess, it's really open to interpretation.
I know some people didn't like this movie but I liked the Butterfly Effect (saw it with my girlfriend), not for Ashton Butcher (typo on purpose) but because it's another of those psychological sort of movies that make you think
I haven't seen the sequel, if anyone has I'd appreciate your critique.
Oh since Lowkey reminded me about people eating bullets!

Reno 911: The Movie
Scarface
American History X

[lazario]

Regardless of what some would say... I think Dahmer is a horror movie. I'd say yeah on all the other serial killer movies too, but I haven't seen them.

[tsmooth31]

^^ agreed...i consider all seriel killer movies horror..not all horror needs monsters and stuff..i see seriel killer movies as real life horror

[piggsy]

I suppose serial killer movies can be called horror, but I think of them as dramas more than anything. Though the movie "Ted Bundy" is more like horror than any of the other ones.

[lazario]

I think Deliberate Stranger was the best Ted Bundy movie.

[biscuitpower]

billy madison
grandma's boy
300

Those are the only non-horror movies I would call favourites. (that i can think of)

[Evil Dave]

That's all I do, I just don't have a list created in my mind as to what my favourites would be.

And I can't include every good movie as a favourite can I?

And I don't really watch anything besides horror or comedy, I don't find drama, thrillers or action movies to be all that entertaining. All the movies that are true favourites are horror or comedies.

If you want to know what my first favourite movie was it was in grade one, The Never-Ending Story.

Don't try saying I have bad taste just because I didn't name off a bunch of artsy fartsy bullcrap off the top of my head.

[biscuitpower]

And to add to what I said..

I hate every movie you listed Evil Dave.
I named better quality movies So what was your beef?

Is this the who can name the most movies they seen thread? Or what is your favourite thread. Why the hell does everything have to be a competition?

[lazario]

Oh, Dave can pretty much be summed up in this one fact: he thinks Airplane! sucks.

[lazario]

Actually I must admit, that kind of shocked me too. The critics really panned it. And I doubt it was because it was too dark, adult, or mean-spirited.
