-Danny

I wanna take the Bullet,
The one aimed straight for your Heart;
I wanna meet the wolves halfway,
And let them Tear me APART,
But that's not the way they do it here...
THRICE RULES!!!!!!!!!

Heheh, gotta love a top ten list with "Tremors" in it!

This is really an impossible question to answer. There are plenty of movies that I like better than "Serenity" for one reason or another. For example, there are lots of movies that are funnier (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Caddyshack) or have a more profound message (The Killing Fields, Schindler's List). The Lord of the Rings trilogy brings a beloved world to life, as do the Harry Potter films.

But there's one scale on which "Serenity" has no peer for me. It's the one movie I can watch over and over again without getting tired of it.

For me, most DVD purchases turn out to be rather poor decisions, since in so many cases I'll watch it once or twice and then it gathers dust forevermore.

When it comes to "Serenity" , though, I can (and have) popped it in anytime and enjoy another visit with my "other family". I've lost count of our reunions.. and that's a good thing.

I'm not touching that question. Not with a ten foot pole. It would be too much like this for me.

Mal gives control of the ship to Zoe...
Mal: If I'm not back in an hour, you come, and you rescue me.
Zoe: What? And risk my ship?

I've not actually got around to re-ordering what my top ten would look like in my head since first seeing Serenity those few months ago.

My top ten used to be quite StarWars heavy, but those films are gonna be relegated a long way down the list now, (apart from Empire). They just don't seem to speak to me any more since seeing our BDM.

Thinking the Top five would be:

Serenity
Army of Darkness
Empire Strikes Back
Yojimbo
Shawshank Redemption

Deciding what is the best film ever is difficult...but I watched it again tonight. No other film has touched me like this film has. I've watched it god-know-how-many times now and each time it draws me in and holds me. I get teary eyed the last 10 minutes of the film (and a few other times too!)...from River's speech to Simon to the very end.

Best film ever??? It just might be...at least in my little world!

Well I'm getting ready to spend 12 months in South Korea. And while I know it's not a space station, I still want to make sure I bring my DVD essentials. My list is, therefore, primarily "most-watchable" rather than critically "best."

In alphabetical order:

About a Boy
Gladiator
Goodfellas
Lord of the Rings - Return of the King
Lost in Translation
Love, Actually
Moulin Rouge
Mystic River
Serenity
Walk the Line

plus over a dozen Disney animated features.

Don't make faces.

For me, Serenity may not be the best movie ever, and I don't know a way to decide what is truely the BEST (of anything). One aspect of Serenity that makes it special for me is that it is associated with firefly, and I love firefly. Serenity really is a movie I can watch many times and still love, especially if it's showing new people what the series is all about, and in that aspect, it is the best movie.

Mal: Can't think of a reason.
