What's your favorite Movie or TV show and why?

[mnju_03]

Clearly I have a track record for asking off topic questions but, how many threads do we need tonight about the same thing? No offense to anyone or anything, just curious on this and want something new to learn about the awesome people we talk to daily.

[Crime City Mark]

Big Trouble in Little China, for reasons.

[mnju_03]

Big Trouble in Little China, for reasons.

Right off the bat, that's ONE of my very first favorites! lol...also many reasons.

[dudeman]

Breaking Bad and Dexter are two of my favourites. They are both pretty unique ideas and the plots of both shows are full of suspense and unexpected twists.

I haven't really thought about what my favourite movie would be, I get bored of almost any movie if I see it too many times. Having said that, I thought about it and I think two of my favourite movies are musicals. I like music a lot, and I really like the music in Heavy Metal and Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Don't eat too many mushrooms before watching those movies though.

[Nudie]

My favorite of the day: Gilligan's Island because of Maryjane :p

Movies... Airplane! And A Land Before Time.

[mikkobaby]

Love dexter, breaking bad and sons of anarchy at the minute. What's walking dead like? I've read mixed reviews.

The walking dead is abt a group of ppl trying to survive from zombies. Hmm not sure abt the mixed review but I simply love this show. Originally it is from a comic book, then they came out this show but the storyline didn't follow exactly the same as comic. U shld watch it if you're a zombie fan. Hehe..

[PC77]

I know it's an old thread but 24 is definitely my favourite show ever. Spooks, a british show very similar to 24 is also very good.
As for what's around at the moment, it's dexter and sons of anarchy for me.

[Ramshutu]

24 is great.

To make it more Awesome, take a shot of tequila every time jack bauer tortures someone.

[PC77]

No thanks, that would just cause alcohol poisoning after half an episode, any episode at that...

[Astroboy]

My fave tv shows:

University Challenge
The Inbetweeners
Law & Order (original type, not the SVU, U.K. or L.A. versions)
Mock The Week

10 O'Clock Live (Ch.4)
Q.I.
You Have Been Watching
Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe
Charlie Brooker's Newswipe
How TV Ruined Your Life

As you can see, I really like Charlie Brooker's stuff. :cool:

Movies? Hmm... "Das Boot" probably. Amazing film, but the 6 hour dvd version of the miniseries, NOT the "director's cut" 2 hour version which is a shadow of the original.

The Right Stuff is fabulous too.

That's what springs to mind right now anyway.
