Alright, the game works in the following way. You look at the last post and see what is the movie that poster liked and comment/critique on that film in your post (whether or not you've seen it) before saying what is the movie you liked. The next person will then look at your post, comment on your film, and state what is the movie she liked, and so on...simple, no?
I'll start it out.
Since there is no one before me, I can't critique the film the previous person said she enjoyed.
So I'll just say that one of the films I like is Devil's Advocate.
(now the next person will comment on Devil's Advocate, and then mention a movie he/she enjoyed)
The commentary can be a simple 'I liked that movie, watched it with my sister' to something longer like a critique of the movie 'I liked the special effects in that movie, although it was a bit monotonous in the first 20 minutes, the acting was well done, etc...'

Meet the Parents:
I agree with sparky_kat that it is an amazing film! I laughed my ass out when Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) lost the family cat and then went to get a new one & spray painted the tail. de Niro's interrogation techniques were also damn funny (circle of trust anyone?)
Butterfly Effect:
I enjoyed this film thoroughly, and the idea that small things can have a big impact on others' lives.

Pulp-Fiction, So many great moments, just in generlal an entertaining film
Mag:Don't remember much at all of last night do you? Me:put simply.... No Mag: From what I put together of your late night drunken ramblings? Vodka, 3 girls, and then we played tic-tac-toe and slapped each other around.
Pulp Fiction: Somewhat entertaining but overrated concept movie.
Farewell my concubine, epic and yet personal about complicated relationships and the culture revolution in China. The guy playing the concubine performs incredibly good acting.

My movie: Big Trouble in Little China
Crush enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women.
Big Trouble in Little China: Fun satire on all those kung fu and magic action flicks, but better than the originals. Clever dialog, dumb hero, plenty of interesting characters, and a courteous, extremely evil villain. Who can ask for more?
My film: Amelie.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
Amelie: joyous, quirky, warm-hearted film that may well be impossible to dislike. my most-watched DVD.
my film: Get Shorty

Er, not to interrupt anything, but...the "really old" Scarlet Pimpernel was the highly successful version made in 1935 with Leslie Howard (he of Gone with the Wind fame) and Raymond Massey. I've seen it twice, and it's excellent.
Okay, back to the thread.

Haha! I knew I should have checked back on that one... I knew it probably wasn't the oldest, but I wasn't sure... And I knew it was older than the one I don't like... So I just said the old one...
Sorry to spam a little... umm...
The newer older Scarlet Pimpernel is my choice.

Fable, do you have that one? I saw it many years ago and I loved it sooo much but can never get it anywhere.... What was his favourite phrase? Sg about devils and hell - do you remember?

I've seen it in VHS catalogs, and it's shown up on various film archive tv channels.
As for the phrase, wasn't it:
"Is he in heaven? Is he in hell? That demned elusive Pimpernel!"
...followed, of course, by a braying laughter, meant to convince the French consulate that Howard's character was nothing but a silly twit.
