One of my favorite movies is Who Framed Roger Rabbit and one of my favorite scenes is the one where Dr. Doom first tries to Dip Roger. Eddie pulls a Bugs Bunny when he gets Roger to drink, resulting in one of the craziest moments of the film.
What about you guys? What scenes, or films, do you like the best?

There are soooo many movies that I simply LOVE! A couple of my favorites are Reign of Fire, Hunt for Red October, the How to Train Your Dragon movies, The Rundown, and nearly anything else that will make me laugh out loud. Sean Connery, Matthew McConaughy (I'm sure I spelled it wrong), Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson... Those are some of my current "favorite" actors. I was raised on classic films my mother watched and I have always loved books and movies, so there's a lot for me to pick from!

Omg, I love How to Train your Dragon! =D I haven't really heard of the other two you mentioned, though.
My favorite actors have to be Robert Downey Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp. I call them my "big trio".

Once upon a time, little Dracon strolled threw the DVD-aisle and a Cover caught her eye, on it, a guy in a battle thong.
Needless to say, she had to buy it. And she didn't get disappointed.
Ronal the Barbarian is the opposite of political correct and hilariously funny. Watch the trailer:

Robin Hood is one of my favorite stories. =D I think I have two or three books and at least three different movies about him.

In regards to Robin Hood, I have one or two seasons of the BBC version of it
In regards to the topic, I like old movies. Silent films, black and white, colour, doesn't matter. The cheesier the better. I have a whole collection of them and it makes me giggle every time I watch like old horror films.

I've actually gotten in a little argument with a youtube user recently, because I commented on a Child's Play review. They said because I found the original Halloween boring, I must only like stupid "horror" films like that Paranormal Activity and Saw crap. I prefer older ones myself, like The Pit and the Pendulum, The Red Death and Exorcist, though I'll admit I found that one kinda boring too. I guess I just don't scare easily. :/

I prefer older ones myself, like The Pit and the Pendulum, The Red Death and Exorcist, though I'll admit I found that one kinda boring too. I guess I just don't scare easily. :/ The original Halloween IS boring though. However, it's more fun if you get alcohol involved and a group of people riffing it (or you and a close friend). The Saw franchise isn't horror, it's torture porn. Same with the Hostel series. And Paranormal Activity (don't judge, I was drug to it involuntarily and only saw the first and looked up alt endings on youtube which was more amusing than the entire movie) was utterly predictable. Bela Lugosi movies are my favourite. Especially when I imagine him as Dracula in every role. The Child's Play series is actually pretty decent though. I enjoyed it. And I enjoyed MOST of the Halloween series. And all of A Nightmare on Elm Street (except the reboot we can forget it exists). I haven't seen Pit and Pendulum or The Red Death (pretty sure I have both though) but I'm slowly getting around to all the ones I haven't seen yet. I have A LOT of horror movies that I haven't yet seen. But they are my favourite genre to watch with friends. I can't watch them alone. They bore me and put me to sleep. OH! And look on youtube for the Fear Clinic episodes (there's 5 or 6 I believe) they're really good. I just bought the movie because of them and I plan on watching it sometime soon (because Robert Englund and Corey Taylor). I have a huge problem with horror movies nowadays.....they're not scary. They're all jump scares and loud noises. That's not scary. It's boring. Actually correction . It CAN be scary if it's not often used (ie: The Woman in Black - the remake with Daniel Radcliffe though the original is pretty good and that's on youtube too) but too many movies rely almost soley on them.

I've got a LOT of films I love and can't pick favourites from so many but one film that really moved me was Dancer in the Dark (with Björk). It's been about 13 years since I saw it though.

I'm still underage, blowpop, so no alcohol for me. And there's more than one Nightmare on Elm Street? How many movies can they make about a guy that kills people in their dreams? Speaking of which, I hear that and all I can think of is that Pokémon that eats dreams. Also that one scene where a kid gets sucked into his bed.
I have a huge problem with most movies these days, there only seem to be three or four types; superhero, remakes, book adaptations and 'soulful' or something. I'll admit I'm being hypocritical on this point; I really want at least one of my stories on the big screen.

A Nightmare on Elm Street has 8 movies with Robert Englund as Freddy (if you include Freddy vs. Jason which is both Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street series) and 1 re-make.
And then in your case, instead of alcohol, a really sugary type of drink. Some of them are really ridiculous and funny. (which btw, me and my adult friends sometimes do because we don't actually need the alcohol to act like hyper little shits because we're just hyper little shits anyway)

Freddy just doesn't scare me. The first 'Nightmare' thing I saw was a comic where he got beaten by a D&D nerd who had a lucid dream. And since I'm a D&D nerd who has lucid dreams he just doesn't do anything.
Plus, I hate horror movies. I'm a massive pansy. Although I loved Marble Hornets. That series knows how to use jump scares.
As for old movies, The Great Dictator.

I am not much of a fan of the horror genre. I HATE jump scares. I want to be creeped out. I want to lay in bed later and wonder what that weird noise was.
One of my favourite movies ever is "The Fall" with Lee Pace. A wonderful, wonderful movie. I also love Labyrinth. Classic wise? Give me a white wine and put in "Arsenic and Old Lace".

I'm not much of a movie person but I am a Disney person. I like most Disney animated films and my favorite movies are probably 75% Disney. My very favorite is Lilo & Stitch. It's not just that I adore the movie, which I do, but it has a very, very soft spot in my heart. I worked at Disney World when it came out. I was working there hoping to get my foot in the door, go to art school, then try to become an animator. Just being honest with people made it surprisingly easy for me to get access to the animation studio. I got to see some of the original art for Lilo & Stitch just before it was released and tons of it for Treasure Planet and Brother Bear (omg, the background art for that film was incredible to see in person. Some of it as they were working on it.) Anyway, that experience taught me that I did not want to be an animator, and it's where I fell in love with Stitch.
