You'd probably have to watch it when you get older. When I first watched it, I was only 14. I got the point of the movie, I just didn't keep track of events that happened in the movie. My attention span with serious movies was.. nonexistent. Now, it's the complete opposite. I think Natalie Portman looked great throughout the entire movie :3

Well, there is so much to it that it would take pages to explain it all and I doubt that you would read it all if I tried. As for why she remained bald, it was part of hiding her identity so she wouldn't be arrested.
The idea was based on the true story of Guy Fawkes, who was caught trying to blow up the houses of Parliament on November 5, 1604, and was hanged. That was where V got the idea to do it. He wanted to shake the people out of their acceptance of the way things were and change England back to a free country.
The vendetta part was killing all the people who had destroyed his life and killed many others, including the actress who had been in the cell next to his.

Yes, I love Johnny Depp in almost anything, but particularly as Captain Jack Sparrow.

This leads me to Brad Pitt in Troy. He has made some really boring movies, though.

Dracula, Dead and Loving It
Robin Hood, Men in Tights

and
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Absolute favorite movie is The Boondock Saints. Also love Lord of the Rings trilogy, Avatar, Harry Potter-all, The Last Song(I know what you all are thinking but my dad died of cancer when I was 18 so it speaks to me), Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, and pretty much any good zombie movie or dreamworks animation.

Hm… I like the Harry Potter films, Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice, Final Destination and the Grudge. Sorry, I don't like a lot of sci-fi though. Horror, mystery and romance are my favorite genres.

Avatar
Saw (all)
Hostel (all)
Strangers (the only movie that has ever scared me)
Pirates of the Caribbean (all)
The Cell
Thinner
Sybil
Interview with a Vampire
V for Vendetta (my all time favorite)
I'm a Twilight noob too :)

I like a lot of gore and horror mainly, but I also love psychological thrillers, things that mess with your head basically.

I haven't seen District 9, but I like all the other Sci-Fi you mentioned. I forgot about the Kill Bill movies. Quentin Tarantino also did a vampire movie. Was it Dusk To Dawn?
I like vampires, werewolves and cheesy 50's Sci-Fi too.

Forgot about pulp fiction, that movie is awesome. Samuel L Jackson is fantastic in it.

Hmm, seems that science fiction is the rage among 2012hoax members… :-)

My favourite movies are pretty much all SF:

The Fifth Element, The Abyss, Blade Runner, everything relating to either Star Wars or Star Trek (I like them both), 2001: Space Odyssey, District 9, Back to the Future movies and so on.

Another favourite genre is war movies: Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Downfall (Der Untergang), The Longest Day, The Hurt Locker etc.

Quentin Tarantino is one of my favourite directors. Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill are the best :-)

I do watch almost anything really. I like comedies and drama too. "A Beautiful Mind" is one of my favourite movies.

I have lots of favorites. I stick mostly to Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and action films. I don't do drama. It seems to me that in order to be classified as drama, one of the main characters has to be dying slowly. Who needs that? I watch movies for escapism.

Lord of the Rings trilogy
Star Wars - all 6
Star Trek- all
Pirates of the Caribbean
Harry Potter
Chronicles of Narnia
Inkheart

Comedy - Nothing to Lose with Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence. It is hilarious!

Even older ones:
Starman
Michael
The Fifth Element
Armageddon

I'm not a big movie fan, but I love the godfather parts 1 and 2, the 3rd one spoiled the whole thing though. I also love the shawshank redemption with Morgan freeman, and I suppose my favourite comedy has to be the borat movie.
