The Screening Room

Before we get to the lists, just a little about my tastes. I'm one of the few people I know that will watch almost anything. My friends talk about how they left this movie after half an hour, or turned this movie off after 15 minutes, but I have rarely done that! So I've seen some pretty odd stuff. Other than that, I tend to like Vampire flicks a lot (no big surprise there). I'm also a sucker for fantasy movies, and nearly any movie made by certain actors...
Here's a list of some of the ones I like a lot:

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen: "I've got a galaxy to run. I don't have time for flatulence and orgasms!"
Kinda rare, but if you can find it, it's well worth your time. Everyone I mention this movie to loves it, if they've heard of it! :)
Army of Darkness (and Evil Dead II): "This is my boomstick!"
It's cheesy, but it's so much fun! And ya gotta love Bruce Campbell!
Bram Stoker's Dracula: This is one of the most visually stunning movies I've ever seen. Just don't get me started on the plot accuracy...
The Crow: "They were already dead. They just didn't know it yet"
"Is that gasoline I smell?"
Although the comic book is better at times, I absolutely adore this movie. Let's not talk about the second movie that they called The Crow, however... I haven't seen the third one yet...
Dark City: When I first saw the previews for this movie, I knew I was going to love it. Though it gets a bit surreal at times, that's part of the charm!
Fight Club: I wouldn't watch this movie for a long time, cuz I thought it was going to be lame. Boy was I wrong!
Interview with a Vampire: For the record, I don't like Tom Cruise. But even he is great in this movie!
Lord of the Rings trilogy: Long awaited, but definitely well worth the wait! Now, if I could only get through those darn books...
The Matrix: WOW!!! We saw it twice in the theater, and got it on DVD as soon as we could. Well worth my time!!
The Mummy and The Mummy Returns: Yes, they are a little bit silly in places, but they're fun!
Nightmare before Christmas: When you love Danny Elfman and Tim Burton as much as I do, how can you possibly resist something as wonderful as this movie?
The Princess Bride: I can't remember why we rented this one the first time, but I just started watching it... repeatedly. It's gotten to the point now where I'm not "allowed" to watch it among certain circles of friends, cuz I can quote every line. I would estimate I've seen it over 200 times, but I lost count a long time ago!
Princess Mononoke: Never did get to see this one in the theater, but I had it on DVD, so I could watch it in English or Japanese. Bonus!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: If only I got to see this more often!!!! I also wish I could be in it again (I played Janet once when they showed it at my old college, and, most recently, Magenta in the local production).
The Star Wars Trilogy: I prefer Return of the Jedi among the three that are currently out, but that's a source of major contention between myself and my friends.
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace: Okay, I liked it... I don't care what people say! Natalie Portman is GREAT, and Anakin kinda grows on you, eventually...
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: Five words for you. Yoda with a frickin' lightsaber! That scene, alone, would make this movie all worth it. And there are a couple of other good parts too!
