I'd have to say my favourite M movie would have to be M*A*S*H. I even still watch the tv show reruns today and it's a few episodes one after the other. love it. A lot of shows I watched when younger I can't watch today as I think OMG I use to watch that, but I never get this feeling with M*A*S*H. The good old 4077

M – Monty Python’s Life of Brian

More commonly remembered as Life of Brian this 1979 comedy is a favourite of all the y’stassie family. Written by and starring the Monty Python team the film had financial difficulties in the early days of production and was banned for many years in several countries including Ireland. Religious satire in the late 70’s was controversial but this did not prevent the movie being a box office hit and becoming a world wide favourite loved and watched by many generations.

Melancholia.

I love the concept of this movie. It's sci-fi. I find the handheld camera and slow-motion techniques interesting. I especially love the ending. Was amazing to see/hear in the cinema.

MONTY PYTHON and the holy grail watched in the library every week in high school

I have a lot of M favs and since I can't choose I'll list them all. Mad Max for entertainment, Muriels Wedding and Mama Mia for being musicals and Moana for being one spunky little islander and gorgeous scenery. I'll have to add Mary Poppins because my daughter wouldn't talk to me again if I didn't but after seeing it fifty thousand times when she was little I'm not in a huge hurry to see it again.

TFTLC Three of my favourite movie series starting with M are: Madagascar, Mighty Ducks & Mr Bean

Madagascar:
Alex the lion is the king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at New York's Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends -- Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo -- have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public and with regular meals provided for them. Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape -- with the help of some prodigious penguins -- to explore the world. Alex (Ben Stiller), Morty (Chris Rock) and other zoo animals find a way to escape from Madagascar when the penguins reassemble a wrecked airplane. The precariously repaired craft stays airborne just long enough to make it to the African continent. There the New Yorkers encounter members of their own species for the first time. Africa proves to be a wild place, but Alex and company wonder if it is better than their Central Park home. Animal pals Alex (Ben Stiller), Marty (Chris Rock), Melman (David Schwimmer) and Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) are still trying to make it back to New York's Central Park Zoo. They are forced to take a detour to Europe to find the penguins and chimps who broke the bank at a Monte Carlo casino. When French animal-control officer Capitaine Chantel DuBois (Frances McDormand) picks up their scent, Alex and company are forced to hide out in a traveling circus.

Mighty Ducks:
After reckless young lawyer Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) gets arrested for drunk driving, he must coach a kids hockey team for his community service. Gordon has experience on the ice, but isn't eager to return to hockey, a point hit home by his tense dealings with his own former coach, Jack Reilly (Lane Smith). The reluctant Gordon eventually grows to appreciate his team, which includes promising young Charlie Conway (Joshua Jackson), and leads them to take on Reilly's tough players. An international competition for junior league hockey teams is being held in Los Angeles. Coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) is picked to lead Team U.S.A. He reunites the "Mighty Ducks," the teen misfits he once coached to victory. This time, crass sports promoter Tibbles (Michael Tucker) tempts the Ducks to cash in on their fame in lieu of practicing, but the team eventually gets back into training and takes on Iceland and their violence-prone coach, Wolf Stansson (Carsten Norgaard). Having achieved a modicum of fame from their earlier adventures, all the members of the Mighty Ducks hockey team are awarded scholarships to a prestigious prep school. But they must now play in the school's uniforms and renounce their freewheeling style for the more disciplined approach of their new coach, Ted Orion (Jeffrey Nordling). After star player Charlie (Joshua Jackson) quits the team, their old coach, Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez), must return to reinvigorate the Ducks' spirit.

Mr Bean:
At the Royal National Gallery in London, the bumbling Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is a guard with good intentions who always seems to destroy anything he touches. Unless, of course, he's sleeping on the job. With the chairman (John Mills) blocking Bean's firing, the board decides to send him to a Los Angeles art gallery under false credentials. When Bean arrives, his chaos-causing ways are as sharp as ever, and curator David Langley (Peter MacNicol) has the unenviable task of keeping Bean in line. Mr Bean is going on holiday to the south of France, looking for a quiet and sunny trip in the Riviera. However, his trip doesn't go as smoothly as he expected when he has to face a series of misunderstandings and totally unfortunate coincidences. Eventually, Mr Bean will end up spoiling the last film of the snobbish director Carson Clay and appearing by accident at the Cannes Film Festival.

M*A*S*H
Everything about the television series and the movie was so well done.
It brought home the horrors of the war zone, but with a lot of humour, which was the way most people in those situations handled the gravity.
My favourite in the show was Klinger, and Radar was great too. Naturally the leads were brilliant as well.

A bit of fun.. The Meg (2018), starring Jason Statham, Bingbing Li, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose. A group of scientists exploring the Marianas Trench encounter the largest marine predator that has ever existed - the Megalodon.

Linda piped with with Marnie. I (Hans) had not heard of it and had to Google . It is an Alfred Hitchcock Film from 1964, starring Tippi Hedren. Ah now I see why she remembers it so well , the male lead was Sean Connery.

Mad Max would have to be the pick for the letter M

Mad Max is a 1979 Australian dystopian action thriller film directed by George Miller, produced by Byron Kennedy, and starring Mel Gibson as "Mad" Max Rockatansky, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley, Tim Burns, and Roger Ward. James McCausland and Miller wrote the screenplay from a story by Miller and Kennedy. Set in a future Australia, the film presents a saga of societal collapse, murder, and revenge in which an unhinged policeman becomes embroiled in a violent feud with a savage motorcycle gang. The first Australian film production to be shot in anamorphic widescreen, principal photography for Mad Max took place in and around Melbourne, and lasted six weeks.

The film initially received a polarized reception upon its release in April 1979, although it won three AACTA Awards and attracted a cult following, while its critical reputation has grown since. Filmed on a budget of A$400,000, it earned more than US$100 million worldwide in gross revenue and held the Guinness record for most profitable film. The success of Mad Max has been credited for further opening up the global market to Australian New Wave films. The film became the first in the Mad Max series, giving rise to three sequels, Mad Max 2 (1981), Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and Fury Road (2015).

Plot

In a dystopian Australia "a few years from now", berserk motorbike gang member Crawford "Nightrider" Montazano kills a rookie officer of the Main Force Patrol (MFP) – Australia's highway patrol unit – and escapes in a Pursuit Special. He manages to elude other MFP officers but then encounters the MFP's top pursuit man, Max Rockatansky. Max breaks the Nightrider's concentration during a high-speed chase, resulting in a fiery crash which kills the Nightrider.

At the MFP garage, Max is shown a supercharged V8-powered black Pursuit Special. A conversation between Max's superior Fifi Macaffee and Police Commissioner Labatouche reveals that the Pursuit Special was authorized as a bribe to keep Max on the force.

Meanwhile, Nightrider's motorbike gang, led by Toecutter and Bubba Zanetti, run roughshod over a town, vandalising property, stealing fuel, and terrorising the population. They trap a young couple in a car, destroy the car, and rape the couple. Max and fellow officer Jim Goose arrest Toecutter's young protégé Johnny the Boy at the scene. When neither the rape victims nor any of the townspeople show for Johnny's trial, the federal courts close the case, with Johnny's attorneys releasing him into Bubba's custody over Goose's furious objections.

While Goose visits a nightclub in the city the next day, Johnny sabotages his police motorbike. After the motorbike then locks up at high speed and crashes, a surprisingly-uninjured Goose borrows a ute to haul his bike back to the MFP. However, Johnny ambushes Goose by throwing a brake drum through his windshield, causing him to crash. At Toecutter's insistence, Johnny throws a match into the wreck of the ute, igniting the gasoline and burning Goose alive. After seeing Goose's charred body in a hospital intensive-care unit, Max becomes disillusioned with the MFP, and informs Fifi that he will resign to maintain what sanity he has left. Fifi convinces Max to take a vacation first before he submits his final letter of resignation.

Max takes his wife Jessie and their infant son - referred to only as "Sprog", Australian slang for a child - on vacation in a panel van. When they stop to fix the spare tire, Jessie takes Sprog to buy ice cream. They encounter Toecutter and his gang, who attempt to molest Jessie, but Jessie kicks Toecutter in the crotch and escapes in the van. They flee to a remote farm owned by an elderly friend named May Swaisey. Toecutter's gang follows them there and ambushes Jessie in the woods. With May's help, Jessie and Sprog escape, but when they try to drive away, they inadvertently damage the van, which overheats. Jessie and Sprog attempt to escape on foot, but are run over by the gang. Max arrives to a horrifying sight: Sprog is instantly killed, while a badly-injured but alive Jessie lies comatose in a hospital ICU.

The loss of his family ultimately drives Max into a rage. He dons his police uniform and takes the black Pursuit Special from the MFP garage to pursue and eliminate the gang. He rams several gang members off a bridge at high speed killing them, kills Bubba during an ambush, and forces Toecutter into the path of a speeding semi-trailer truck, killing him. Finally, Max locates Johnny at a car wreck stealing the boots of its dead driver. Max handcuffs Johnny's ankle to the wrecked vehicle, and sets a crude time-delay fuse utilising a slow petrol leak and Johnny's lighter. Max throws Johnny a hacksaw, leaving him the choice of sawing through either the handcuffs or his ankle in order to escape. The vehicle explodes as Max drives away.


Mad Max has become a cult movie and im March every year in Silverton there is a tribute to the movie with replica vehicles and people in costume

Mad Max. The original film that started the franchise. I have been to where a lot of it was shot. There are a group of caches placed in Victoria depicting scenes in the film. Cheers

We thought hard about this one and couldn't decide between the Mad Max films and My Life.
Mr Beetle preferred the Mad Max movies but as I'm logging this one I'm going with My Life.
The movie stars Nicole Kidman and Michael Keaton and is about a man with a terminal illness who sets out to videotape his life's acquired wisdom for his child which will probably be born after his death.
Have a copy of it too which is a bonus.
Thanks.

There was the Man from U.N.C.L.E but I have to admit to loving chic flicks too so Mama Mia! and mama Mia here we go again just have to be right up the top when you're trying to escape any heaviness in the world. Thanks Fitzy_1965

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

An absolute classic and timeless film! It's so, so hard to pick a sole favourite moment or quote from here - the amazing first 10 minutes, the budget-friendly coconuts, the Black Knight, the witch, the French Taunting, the Knights who say NI (had to block my ears writing that), the Bridge of Death, the Holy Hand Grenade, the police, or even the hilarious music at the end. Always love rewatching scenes on YouTube occasionally, especially if I'm doing puzzle caches by a particular Canberra geocacher!

TFTC fitzy_1965!

As a kid I loved Mary Poppins(1964). As an adult I am almost embarrassed to admit that.

Well if my grand children had a say it would be all the Madagascar movies but my favourite is Mercury Rising 1998 with Bruce Willis. It is an adaptation of the book Simple Simon by Bryan Pearson 1996 edition. TFTL
