Hi everybody, it's been long time since the last post ever appeared in this box so I wanna make it a little noise here
I bet everyone has memorable movies that you remember most, by deep meaning, lovely scenes or touching emotions in those movies, or maybe it is just about the humor sense, skylight inspiration or eye-opening visual effects

In the following posts (YOUR posts ), you might name more than 1 movie, better have image or video illustration and own reflection, what part do you like the most, etc.

OK, I feel so good enough to begin talk about MINE:
The name is The Lord of the Rings - the return of the King



I remember when my family had a VTC digital receiver (maybe 2005), it played the third sequence of LOTRs trilogy, and it was so stunning with me, everything seemed to be so f...king perfect. It was displayed on HBO channel, which in that time had no subtitle or voice-over, but it was replayed tens of times in different hour frame, so I have chances to watch the movie, a lot.
Firstly, I did not understand anything about the movie's content, due to my basic English command (I was at grade 10, who can blame it ), though it has been clearer over time. I loved it so much and went to local video renting shop, getting the DVD and watching in PC; haizz, telling this story make me damn remind about the old time, with hours and hours trying to make the English subtitle appear, writing those line down in maybe 20 pages, just to know the exact meaning of dialogue.
But... what do I love the most about the movie??

I love the shiny green background of Middle-earth with dusty grey scene in Mordor land...

I love the impressive, solid and warm voice of Sir Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf the White, a powerful wizard always care about Frodo and freedom of Middle Earth people...

I love the agility and battle skill of Legolas (played by Orlando Bloom) when he took down the giant elephant in the Battle of Pelennor Field...



I love the grandiose and scorching background music when Rohirrim raiders of Rohan charged into the massive Orcs, crushing their line into pieces ...
"Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden. Spears shall be shaken... shields can be splintered... A sword day, a red day ... ere the Sun rises..."


I love the sacrifice and devotion of Samwise Gamgee to Frodo, getting him through treachery of Gollum, the disgrace of Frodo, to come back and make the Ring destroyed to the end. Through not praised much, I believe Samwise was one of the best characters played the LOTRs trilogy, as with Gandalf and Legolas.

...

Those things are the most highlighted part in the movie, btw, get your memory up and start writing
Love it, name it!!!

nice post
for me, the most impressive film was I am Sam
the story about Sam - a mentally retarded man fights for custody of his 7-year-old daughter, and in the process teaches his cold-hearted lawyer the value of love and family.



such a meaningful film Everyone has the right to be parents, right??
I was so touched and even cried when Sam breaks down after opposing counsel convinces him that he is not capable of being a father or when Lucy - the daughter runs from the foster family to go back to Sam's appartment

anw, what about you, your fav movie?

I did enjoy LOTR, but that movie got boring after a while. Anyway, I also like Legolas because his bow skill is incredible (3 arrows hit at once) .

Anyway, let me share with you guys these movies:

Blood Diamond - a great one


And the Resident Evil series, not considered my fav one, but I like it because I have played some of the games:



Come on guys, share yours!

my favorite one is Pride & Prejudice, a 2005 movie adapted from Jane Austen's novel.
I think it's fantastic, the old language, the romance, the pride, the fights, Ms. Bingley and everything!
really really enjoy reading and watching it

yes, the English accent sounds great, and Keira Knightley is an awesome actress

I hate unhappy-ending - that's the reason why I never watch that kind of movies, dramas or books etc.

Grave of Fireflies - the 1st of the only 2 movies made me cry so hard:(
And after that film, I'd rather watch boring funny meaningless things for the rest of my life:(

@ Bingo: I love "I am Sam" too, Dakota Fanning and Sean Penn were really awesome. One more type of "Male chick" film is "Kramer vs. Kramer", I bet you will love it
@ KMNT: actually I don't really like Blood Diamond, partly because realistic movies give me headache, and Leonardo was shouting too much still, this is a great movie.
@ Thaby: lol I know I gotta be sex discriminating if I say this is girly movie but it is haha, I like the astoundingly colorful theme and beauty of Keira Knightley
@ Mun Huyen: I can't remind about the movie's ending? Could you tell me???

Anyone here love Forrest Gump???

oh Kramer vs. Kramer is a good one, too, very meaningful, though I find quite a slow movie (or at least it was my impression the first time watching that movie)

Haha, talking about slow films I nominate all products of Kim Ki-Duk , you find it horribly slow, crazily confusing, but in the end, truly addicted (though none of them is for 18- )

@ sis Noo: ohhh I still remember it was a rainy afternoon when I saw this movie on HBO ... then my tear drops couldn't help falling down like a rain too it is a truly heart touching movie

Talking about animation, another favorite one of mine is Finding Nemo.
