Best movies ever?

Welcome back DF!

As for Heavy Metal…  yep, HUGE flower shaped mamalian protruberances with flower shaped nipples.  Guess it falls under the category of “American Anime” :-)

In the same line of thinking…
Best Porn Plot:  Cafe Flesh

Best Porn Special Effects:  Juranal Park (gotta love the guy holding the one color plastic dinosaurs and moving htem back and forth in front of the camera going “ggrrr, grrr” as the “footage” of the dinosaurs rampaging through the island!)

And some of the other categories we missed earlier that folks might want to add…

Best Musical  (My Fair Lady is at or near the top of that cat for me)
Best Western (not the hotel chain :-P )

And some sub-categories could have their own rating too…

Best Zombie Movie:  Resident Evil is my personal fave in that line
Best Star Trek Movie:  Wrath of Khan
Best Star Wars Movie:  Original
Best Classic Sci-Fi:  Forbidden Planet
Best Monster Movie:  Godzilla (the original)

Damn, I can’t pick just one.

Best Action:  Top Gun, Return of the King, Armageddon (if you can get past the ridiculous premise - sound track is awesome)
Best Drama:  The American President (The West Wing in movie form)
Best Cartoon:  The Incredibles
Best Horror:  The Shining - the music makes the picture
Best Western:  Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Best Comedy:  Spaceballs, Top Secret
Best Musical:  The Little Shop of Horrors (Steve Martin as the sadistic dentist and Bill Murray as the masochistic patient is amazing - I don’t know about you but all dentists are sadistic in my mind)
Best Cult Movie:  Rocky Horror Picture Show
Best Star Trek Movies:  The Journey Home, First Contact

Best Star Trek Episodes Ever:

TOS:  City on the Edge of Forever, Balance of Terror, A Piece of the Action, Spectre of the Gun

@saburo:

Best Comedy:  Spaceballs

That movie is funny as hell!  :lol:

HELMET: Who made that man a gunner?
MAJOR: I did, sir. He’s my cousin.

HELMET: Who is he?

SANDURZ: He’s an Asshole, sir.

HELMET: I know that. What’s his name?

SANDURZ: That is his name, sir. Asshole, Major Asshole.

HELMET: And his cousin?

SANDURZ: He’s an Asshole, too, sir. Gunner’s-mate, 1st Class, Philip Asshole.

HELMET: How many Assholes we got on this ship, anyhow?

ALL: Yo!

HELMET: I knew it. I’m surrounded by Assholes. Keep firing, Assholes.

Snotty beamed me last night… it was incredible.

“I bet she gives great helmet”

I hate to turn this into a Spaceballs quote thread, but…

“Ludicrous speed, GO!”

“We ain’t found shit!”

I forgot one in my list of best comedy movies - Blazing Saddles.
