Mention a favorite movie of yours. But please do it in the way described below, as posting a title of a film and fleeing seems so vacuous:

1. Look at the trailer or clip in the post above you, or if there isn't one, then one further above. Make some comments or ask some questions about the movie. This is what earns you the right to post your own trailer or clip.

2. If another member has posted some comments or asked some questions about a movie you recommended, try and discuss.

3. And finally, in the last part of the your post, post the title of one of your favorite films and optionally the director, and then a link to a clip or trailer of the film.

I will refrain from starting, and leave that to the next person who posts.

Good choice, with caveats. Let's consider your choice.

It came in at #2 on the most recent Sight & Sound directors poll, which polls for the greatest films ever made. It will remain there for at least ten years, because the poll only occurs every ten years. See the poll results here: http://www.bfi.org.uk/news/sight-sound-2012-directors-top-ten . Note that it lost out to a film called Tokyo Story, directed by Yasujiro Ozu. In a prior post in this thread, I mentioned four Ozu films. Ozu is indeed one of my favorite directors, and he is also a favorite among a huge number of avid film watchers.

Now, specifically regarding 2001: A Space Odyssey, we have a film which seems to be unrivaled in addressing man's place in the Universe. No other film comes close. Period.

It's important, however, to watch the film properly. It should be watched in its original aspect ratio (not a cropped fullscreen DVD), and it should preferably be watched either in a theater, in a home theater, or on a decent flat panel, where the source is preferably the recent Blu-ray. Furthermore, by properly watching it, that means no interruptions, the volume boosted, and you giving it your rapt attention.

One caveat though: it is indeed worth watching several times, and revisiting it every now and then, but is it a desert island film? I'm not sure, due to its lack of warmth and emotion.

Additional note: on the Sight & Sound Critics poll, (not the directors poll), it came in at #6. Ozu's Tokyo Story came in at #3. See here: http://explore.bfi.org.uk/sightandsoundpolls/2012/critics/

+1000.

Nothing else needs to be said.

Sure. On my Android I can install any old crap I might be able to find. Unfortunately, I can't even find it. I drool over some of the stuff available for iPhones, specifically quality niche professional apps.

I learned 6502 Assembly language 30 years ago. I learned C 26 years ago. I know a lot of languages. So, I guess I qualify as someone who might be sympathetic to developers. And yet I can't claim to be sympathetic to your argument.

Most everyone is only an end user of a smartphone.

First of all, it should be "Whom should I troll". You've lost some points. And however many points you lost, it gets doubled because it was in the thread title.

Now, on to whom you should troll. There's a few movie threads going on currently. Troll anyone who can't pick a good movie and defend their choice.

Android devices have similar problems. Life isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.

Love

Indeed

Road

tree

No.

Why have you selected the year 2008?

To expound on the idea of what constitutes a 'favorite' film, I believe it has to be a desert island film. No way around it. You have to be able to watch it over and over again with undiminished pleasure. Just talking about them makes me want to watch them now.

Some clips from true desert island films:
