Very few American movies make it out here, I have vacationed to New York a couple times every now and then, I will refrain from listing German flicks, so here are my top 5 (American) favs:
1)Jurassic Park
2)The Lost World
3)Jumanji
4)E.T.
5)The Matrix (I saw this movie while it was in the theatres! So intense)
Other movies
All the movies picked are really good. I also like the Jurassic Park duology, soon to be trilogy, but the books are better, and yes Dim I liked Dogma, and Clerks too, but the other Kevin Smith movis I just like a little better, I like how they always do a little something from Star Wars.
Other movies
I agree UBH. All the books that I have read that have been turned into movies; the books were ten times better. And yes, Jurassic Park 3 is on its way to theaters as early as this summer I believe, but there was no book this time. They are bringing back Sam Niel to play Alan Grant but thats all I know.
JP3 is doing a webcast thing from the set in December. TFN had some info on it today infact and a feature at www.movieheadlines.com
Favorite movies in no particular order.
Singing in the Rain
When Harry met Sally
Sleepless in Seatle
Batman (All of them including "and Robin" though it did start getting silly)
The Back to the Future trilogy
Men in Black
Silent Running (Makes me cry when he leaves the robots)
Sliding Doors
Total Recall
Jurrasic Park, wasn't so keen on Lost World though (Books are better)
Top Gun (I feel the need... The need for Speed!!!)
All the Star Treks (Sorry!)
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Toy Story 1 & 2
Twister
An American Werewolf in London
Tarzan (Disney's)

Rocky Series
There are too many American movies I like to list here but my favourite British movies are:
1. Trainspotting
2. Brassed Off
3. Shallow Grave
4. Zulu
5. Braveheart (even though it's really American)
I can't stand the Matrix. It's the most overated, pretencious peice of junk I've ever seen. The guys who made that also made Dark City which is the same story but a far, far better movie.
