Favorite Movies and Movies You'd Like to See
There is a LONG list of movies that I'd like to see but also have some personal favorites as well. Brokeback Mountain is my all time favorite movie but I also really like Dreamgirls, Dumbo, the 2012 Three Stooges movie, the first two Shrek movies (haven't seen the other two yet), the Harry Potter saga (the first two being my favorites and have yet to see both Deathly Hallows), and Transamerica. Dreamgirls I think is a GREAT movie and Jennifer Hudson definitely earned her Oscar win with her renditions of And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going and I Am Changing. Also intersting that it became one of her signiture songs and she has similarities to the original performer of Effie White. Both are named Jennifer and have a last name starting with H, both have one a Grammy, and both are best known for playing the same role with true emotion. They also won a major award for their role (Hudson being an Oscar and Holliday a Tony). I also thought that the Farrley brothers' Three Stooges was REALLY good and didn't stray and become tainted with modernization that it is horrible to watch and yet still true to the original trio's spirit. I mean who HASN'T wanted to hit Snooki or basically call her an idiot while she's standing next to you? I think this film will be nominated for Best Picture, Best Screenplay Adaptation, Best Writing, and possible Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.
Some of the movies I want to see are: Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, The Secret Life of Bees, The Iron Lady, The Muppet Movie (the only 80's Muppet movie I have yet to see), Weary Heart, Batman: The Dark Knight (only because of Heath Ledger's performance), The Blindside (only seen the first half), and Sparkle.
What do you think? What are your favorite movies?

RE: Favorite Movies and Movies You'd Like to See
To be honest. I want to see how Darth Vader became Darth Vader, who Luke and Leia's mother was and how/why the Jedi were wiped out...
Possible a Prequel of some sort, now Lucas's team would have to stick to a strong story, plot and character rather than just rely on CGI like Michel Bay...They can't sell out either...
I also want to see Indiana Jones make a comeback. Only three movies, why not make it four. The guy's a legend, Harrison fu**ing Ford for Christ sake!

There ARE four movies. The Crystal Skull is the latest installment in the Indiana Jones series and came out a few years ago. It also had moderate success and was one of the most anticipated films of that summer.

RE: Favorite Movies and Movies You'd Like to See
Here's a link to prove that I'm NOT lying.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jon...stal_Skull
It gives the plot, cast, and earnings which were over $700 million worldwide. You can APOLOGIZE to me anytime now.
I think you are missing the point. Sequel denial can happen when an awesome or great work is followed by a disappointment that defies understanding. Therefore, it must not exist, or if it does it's certainly better not to talk about it.
Chris Christie is so fat, I was giving a presentation and he ate my pie charts.

I think Conlang at least earns a Catburger for coming up with that.
Alas, I don't have any catburgers lying around.

RE: Favorite Movies and Movies You'd Like to See
There were only 2 Rocky movies made: the original, and Rocky Balboa. For some strange reason some people referred to Rocky Balboa as "Rocky 6", even though it was the 2nd and final movie in the series.
