Films are a huge part of so many peoples lives that they will often become melded in our minds with other things, such as food. We all like to have a snack on hand when we're enjoying a movie, so we will take some junk food with us to enjoy at the theatre or buy in at home when we're planning a movie night. It's interesting to see what sort of snacks people tend to have when they're choosing to watch a film, especially if they choose different snacks depending on what sort of movie they're planning on seeing!
What we've done is get together some movies and we want people to tell us what sort of snack they would choose to have while watching the movie! Once people have done that and answers our question, we will be able to tell them which movie is their absolute favorite, just based on the answers given.
So, it's about time we got started to see what junk food people like. Want to see how good we are at guessing people's favorite flicks? Well then, the only way to find out is to get started on the quiz!
Watchmen
An adaptation of the Alan Moore comic book that took a long time to make, this movie attempts to cram numerous plot threads into a three hour movie, and still only just manages to wrap everything up by the end!
Zombieland
With the huge number of comedy horror films out there and the insane popularity of zombie in general, we don't think many people saw this one being any good, which is why they were so surprised when it was in the end!
Twelve Monkeys
This movie takes the audience on a journey through time, following both Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt as the two of them come to heads in an attempt to secure the future they both want for the human race and the planet as a whole.
True Grit
There was a time when Westerns rules the world of cinema, and while that time is certainly over, there's nothing stopping fantastic directors from bringing the Western tradition back into the modern world of cinema.
Adaptation
It's no surprise that there are many movies out there that concern the plight of the writer and the struggle that can come with attempting to write a script, as it's often what the writer of the movie is going through in real life!
Being John Malkovich
Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze came together to create a very weird movie here. This one is for people who like their art a little bit weird, and never find themselves getting sick of John Malkovich's face.
The World's End
This is one for people who understand British culture, because we don't think many Americans will be able to enjoy this one, unless they've spent a lot of their time in England. A film for anyone who loves a good pub!
Trainspotting
Based on the novel by Irvine Welsh, this movie follows the lives of a bunch of drug addicts as they try to turn everything around. It's a chance to live vicariously through people that we likely don't know in real life!
The Truman Show
In the world of CCTV and reality television, movies like this make a lot of sense. We can all know that no matter where we are, it's likely that we're being watched, so why not take it to the next logical step, that we're being watched for fun?
The Social Network
With how much of a success that Facebook was, how it rose social media into the mainstream, it was only a matter of time before somebody came along to make a movie about the man who was originally behind it.
Catch Me If You Can
Based on an actual conman who had managed to make millions before he got to his early twenties, this film stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks as one of them chases the other across the world in an attempt to catch and arrest him.
Finding Nemo
One of the most popular children's movies from the past twenty years, we don't think there are many people who haven't seen this movie and enjoyed it, either as a child or as an adult. Funny, exciting, and genuinely sad at time.
Ed Wood
Based on a director who is widely considered to be one of the worst of all time. Despite this fact, he has since gained cult status and this movie aims to show a modern audience that, despite his lack of talent, Ed Wood had a real love for cinema.
Gladiator
A true revenge story, this movie watches a man moving through the ranks as he attempts to take his anger out on the man that took his old life away, the man that killed his wife and children before having him banished.
Hellboy
Many people were surprised to see how well this movie ended up turning out. Most comic book movies aren't so great, but the writers and director were able to sort this one out and both critics and audiences enjoyed it.
Hot Fuzz
Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright ended up making a trilogy of films together, with this being the second in the trilogy. It's a funny movie that we would recommend to everybody if they haven't managed to catch it yet!
I'm Not There
Less of a biopic and more of an artistic meditation on the nature of Bob Dylan as a person and an creative, I'm Not There will make a lot more sense to people who have spent their lives becoming acquainted with the work of Dylan.
Kick-Ass
Adapted from a comic book, this movie takes a different look at superheroes. A young man ends up getting hurt and manages to come out of it without the ability to feel pain. This is why he decides to go out and take down the bad people in the world.
The Prestige
The concept of two illusionists trying to one up each other with more and more dangerous tricks is something that should appeal to anyone who has any sense of suspense. There's no chance that's not going to end badly!
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Tim Burton's movie takes an odd look at Christmas, choosing to place it in a rather scary and gothic world, rather than the standard world of snow and happiness like most other Christmas films. A lot of people love it!
The Men Who Stare At Goats
This film is an odd example, as it's actually a fictionalized version of a non-fiction book. That says to us that they took a look at the real story and realized that people wouldn't enjoy it as much unless they messed with it a little.
The Lovely Bones
A dramatic narrative about a dead young girl watching her family is pretty heavy, which is why it's great that the people behind the movie ended up doing such a good job, pulling it off without it being too sentimental.
The Lion King
One of the most famous animated features of all time, this retelling of Hamlet within a kingdom of lions has been enjoyed by both children and adults for years at this point, and we imagine they will for years to come.
L.A. Confidential
Set in the 1950s, this movie is an adaptation of a novel by James Ellroy, the narrative detailing the connection between Hollywood and police corruption, the whole movie taking on a neo-noir feel.
Little Miss Sunshine
This independent feature made a big splash in the box office when it first came out. It follows an unconventional family as they attempt to make it in time to a child's beauty pageant, learning a lot about each other on the way.
Men In Black
Following the antics of two men as they investigate and take down various aliens that have refused to stay within the rules given to them by human beings. They can stay on Earth, but they have to make sure they follow the rules!
Moon
This odd movie is directed by David Bowie's son and follows a man that live on the Moon who starts to find out that he may not have been given all of the information about his mission on the Moon...
Mystic River
Based on the novel of the same name, Mystic River was directed and scored by Clint Eastwood and was released to widespread critical acclaim. It follows three childhood friends who have grown apart, but are thrown together under sad circumstances.
O' Brother Where Art Thou?
Based on Homer's Odyssey, this movie loosely follows the epic poem while incorporating southern American mythology. However, despite the darker tones that crop up, this movie is actually much more of a comedy at heart!
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
A comic book series before it was a movie, this Edgar Wright feature ended up adding a real comic book feel to the big screen, the directing and editing managing to add a real graphic look to the proceedings.
Shaun Of The Dead
Melding zombie movies with comedy, Shaun Of The Dead follows a man as he attempts to survive the zombie apocalypse while also trying to rekindle the love within his ex. It's not a surprise that they end up back in the pub...
Sideways
We all need to take some time off, which is why there are so many movies about people taking time to themselves, asking the audience to follow them on their journey. Hopefully we'll all learn something about ourselves on the way!
The Illusionist
It's amazing to think there was a time when someone performing basic magic could be thought of as someone not to be trusted, who had powers beyond the normal human realm. Thankfully, we live in a more enlightened realm.
The Darjeeling Limited
This movie explores the nature of family and how things often don't change over time, even though families can grow apart. Falling into old ways is just natural once a family comes back together after a time apart, but is that a bad thing?
The Bucket List
Getting old is a difficult concept that a lot of people struggle with, which is why movies like this exist. The two main characters go against their doctor's advice and go out into the world to do everything they want before they die.
