Hollywood Stars Tell AFI Their Favorite Movies

[Triangulove]

is there some ban against hollywood actors choosing sci fi or fantasy films as their favorites, and only being allowed to choose drama or crime films?

[petehvill]

PSYCHO!!!

[JWFernel]

Blade Runner. It blends gritty sci-fi with intelligent, philosophical questions and is just a beautiful film in every sense. The Final Cut is best, but any version is great.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

[scottmackeen]

Any true lover of the movies - and I mean THE movies, not just movies made in the past two decades - know that this is an absurd question. A more fair question would be, Who's your favorite director?

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST

[FungusMossGnosis]

Whenever someone mentions a favorite work of art that the philistines haven't heard of, the mob get suspicious and thinks the interviewee is just picking something to sound hip or intellectual or high-cultured. God forbid they actually may enjoy something like that without putting on airs. God help those freaks.

seven is the most exciting film.

Im still not sure about my numbers 4 and 5 or 2 and 3 what order would you guys put these five films in. please reply

[professionalassasin]

My favorite film of all time is Pulp Fiction. The way the story is told, the way the characters talk to each other, and how well the plot develops without us not really knowing is magic. I'm not saying Pulp Fiction is the BEST film of all time, because it's not true. It is just my favorite, one that I will watch over and over again until I die.

[Elkindo]

Amelie

[ionescu92]

Sorry, could you write me what Helen Mirren says? I'm italian and I can't understand it.

[btopishere]

@JoeyFilms Helen Mirren says L'Atlante (1934)

[PullTheWeed]

Brando was responsible for the success of "The Godfather" even more than Coppola. By the time the 3rd Godfather movie was made all of the magic and mystic that Brando had created thru the genius of his talent and his persona had dissipated. And we were all left with what would have happened with the 1st movie if Brando hadn't been involved - a flop.

[Naopro]

Does any one know about Treasure of the Sierra Madre

I really want to see it but dont know where?

Please help

[maverick916]

blockbuster online? they have it all. Pulp Fiction is the best movie ever. Never has nothingness been so cool, relateable, and pure joy to watch. American Beauty and The Shawshank Redemption are among my favorites as well because they are stories of not letting others control your life and doing what you want. other elements apply as well, but those are the three best to me.

[Guedingen]

Picking one favourite is an exercise in masochism!

[SirPsychoSexy714]

how is it masochism...no ones forcing you to say it

[Guedingen]

Ah, another precious YOUTUBERer: it was meant in jest.

[ScottPFilmDirector]

here are some of mine:

"Chinatown", "12 Angry Men", "Psycho", and "Toy Story"

[alulu8]

Mine is John Waters' Hairspray. (The orig.) It's hilarious and quirky and heartwarming and weird. Plus, "it's got a good beat and you can dance to it."

[RickyR21]

pirsuit of happiness

[arsalanmolani]

Or To Kill A Mockingbird. One of them. And to clear it up...On AFIs100years youtube profile, the subscribe arrow is on the left.

[ExodusPessoa]

It's a three way tie. "In America", "Muriels Wedding", and "Glory". I can't decide which one (lol).

[arsalanmolani]

My opinion? Casablanca.
