They kill me both!

Another fan of The Lord of the Rings.

When I was a child, Star Wars trapped me. But of course, the movies weren't a masterpiece of art.

The Lord of the rings took its place as the fondest memory. Most of the credit is the use of original ideas of John Howe about the Middle Earth.

Van Damme...really??

Funny thing: did you know that "The 7 Samurais" was the inspiration for "The magnificent Seven" which is the movie that inspired the producers of "The A Team" to create the series? And somehow it all leads to "Los simuladores" which makes one realize some good ideas can lead to very bad ones...

If I had to say one, I would have to say Matrix: the first two are excellent... they are sooo good that one can even forgive the producers for spoiling the series with the bad half of the third one... but anyways: history, philosophy, literature, religion, technology. You can find whatever you want in those movies...

(PS: this restriction of selecting only one movie is quite tough... as Borges used to say: how can you compare books? there is no better book than another... there are bad movies, though)

7 samurais!!! I love it !

What an old movie! My father recently bought the DVD and I still hadn't seen it. It was in fact the inspiration to MANY movies. Akira Kurosawa rules!!!


I agree with Gabriel: Matrix (only the first one, for me) is one of my favorite movies of all time. It blew my mind up when I first saw it... shame on Wachosky Bros. for making the other two =P

Please .. when you see seven samurais you will change your opinion ....

Totally agree...the Matrix is only the first one...the other two I'd rather forget!!

7 samurais is a real classic. Black and white, from the 50s, lasts like 3 hours, and still you can't stop watching it.
Unlike, for instance 2001 Space Odyssey, which just became old and boring...
