Humphrey's Favorite Movies

Favorite movies of all time: I like the series, I like fantasy and science fiction, I like historical epics. Therefore my favorite movies include: The Lord of the Rings; The Matrix trilogy; Braveheart; Star Wars (All six of 'em -- all you nitpicking whiners can shut the heck up); Pleasantville (One of the finest social satires ever made); and The Simpsons movie. Oh, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.


Best movie I've seen in the last month of two: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Made me laugh harder than I have at a movie in quite a while.  I also like the message.

Favorite action scene: My favorite guy-flick is either The Godfather or Pulp Fiction. Both do a wonderful job of switching between brilliant real-life dialogue, and savage movie violence. My favorite single action scene is the scene in The Matrix when Neo and Trinity go to rescue Morpheus from the Agents.
Favorite romantic scene: The final production of Romeo and Juliet in "Shakespeare in Love." And the farewell afterwards. Brilliant and heartwrenching.

Favorite quote: Oh, there are so very many I can't possibly pick one. My absolute favorite is probably the Communist peasant in "Holy Grail."

Favorite guilty pleasure movie: Conan The Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer. But I could include the following:

Naked Space  (If you like Leslie Nielsen, you MUST find a copy of this movie.)
Army of Darkness
The Brave Little Toaster
Summer School (Oh, so bad. But I had a tremendous crush on one actress who was in this one, so it goes on the list.)
Cobra (You're the disease, and I'm the cure.")
