Ah man, cant believe i forgot about those two. EXCELLENT movies!

[Dreadnought]

An oldie, but one I can watch any number of times

Khartoum - a big screen Technicolor 60's epic, Charlton Heston as Charles "Chinese" Gordon doing battle with an Islamic nutjob, the Mahdi, in 1880's Sudan. Lawrence Olivier plays The Mahdi. Great big battles, great stuff. Check it out if you've never seen it.

Some of those old classics are brilliant, I've recently watched Spartacus & the Battle of Britain with the monster, and he loved them.................probably going to watch Ben Hur tomorrow :D

I can't watch some of those old timey flicks.. I just think the presentation is poor.. It drives me nuts. Hell, I couldn't even stand Gone with the Wind. :shocked:

But to add a movie to list.. I really really like Alexander Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo.

[Dreadnought]

I've been introducing my daughter to old Errol Flynn movies - Sea Hawk, Adventures of Robin Hood, Captain Blood, Prince and the Pauper - she loves 'em. Sean Connery James Bond movies, too. My wife thinks they're too racey, but I don't think they'll cause a bit of harm, and they're just good fun.

Beats Hell out of watching the The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana for Daddy and Girl time :lol:

Which, if you don't get them in the UK count your friggin blessings.

Count of Monte Cristo was a favorite of mine as a kid. My Mom read it to me, and I read it a few more times later on. Greatest revenge plot ever!

Yes it is. I'm not very big on reading as my mind tends to wander off at times so I don't really get into books per se. But I thought the movie was extraordinary.

[Dreadnought]

Some of The movie adaptations for Count of Monte Cristo are pretty good, I agree, but nothing beats the way Dumas sets up the revenge of the Count. Like The Three Musketeers it moves right along, too, so you might give it a shot sometime.

Yes. It is the ultimate revenge plot. I don't know why, but i'm so drawn to revenge movies.. Like Shawshank Redemption..

Three Musketeers is another good one. That used to be one of my favorites growing up.

[SmilinAssasSin27]

As far as BEST movie goes, I don't think I've ever seen a better all around movie than Titanic. Love story or not, that flick had it all. GREAT movie.

Ah yes.. I'm a huge fan of the Disney movies..

Lion King (epic, I have to fast forward through where Mufasa dies cause i'll cry. :shocked: )
Swan Princess
Pocohontas
Finding Nemo
Toy Story 1 and 2
Monsters INC.

:beer:

[SmilinAssasSin27]

Yeah...I think Disney did an incredible job during the late 1980s and 1990s. Lion King, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Hercules, Toy Story 1 and 2, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Bugs Life etc were all on a very high level. They still make good ones, but they don't seem to all have the same staying power. Flicks like Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis, Monsters Inc, Bugs Life, Meet the Robinsons, Treasure Planet, Bolt, Cars, although good, IMHO aren't anywhere near the level of the 1990s efforts. The only 3 I would put anywhere near them are Lilo and Stitch, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles...and Lion King still beats all their asses.

Maybe it's the over saturation. Disney used to do like 1 major flick per year. Nowit seems they have like 4 and they just aren't as good.

Yeah, no movie is on the level of Lion King. NO movie. I swear I used to watch Aladdin every day.



Adding a movie to the list... Heavyweights..

"Do it to it, Lars!!!"

"Oh look, a deli meat"

"I'm feeling skinny Tony!"

"Attention campers: Lunch has been cancelled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it"

:lol::lol::lol: :pound:

[Den21vsBal19]

For a variety of reasons, I really wanted to love Titanic, but whilst I appreciate it as a technical exercise, the sets were exquisite, the whole love story bugged the hell out of me....................although that may have just been Di Crapnio ;)

[SmilinAssasSin27]

How could I forget Super Troopers?

I love that flick. Beer Fest is close behind.

Or Starship Troopers for that matter. Great cult movie now. Played just last week at a small theater in Lower Downtown Denver to a packed house. One guy even dressed up like one of the Marines.

First one's pretty good, anytime you get to see Michael Ironside play mean & moody it's gonna be fun :D

But I wasn't at all impressed with the 2nd, and haven't dared watch the 3rd yet

Never even bothered with the sequels. Not with Starship Troopers, or other good movies like "From Dusk til Dawn" or "The Crow". Didn't want to ruin my good memories.

[SmilinAssasSin27]

I was going thru some old boxes this weekend and found all my old video cassettes. I handed 2 movies to my 11 year old nephew and told him his life was about to change. The movies...

The Crow and Happy Gilmore

Dusk 'til Dawn has to be one of the weirdest movie experiences ever when you see it for the first time :laugh:

Regualtion Tarrantino bloodfest, with clean cut Dr What's His Name from ER as a bad guy (missus was devasted he was 'evil' ;)), proceeding quite nicely as you'd expect, then......


WOAH!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!! VAMPIRES!!!!!! Where in the seven hells of Hades did they come from??!?!??!?!?!??! :eek:

:lol: For that left hand turn alone, it has to rate as one of the greatest movie experiences ever :lol:

Yup. Clooney in a Robert Rodriguez movie=Awesome. You ever seen Desperado or El Mariachi? Great movies too. Once upon a time in Mexico is pretty good too.

Dusk til Dawn was like two movies in one. I met the guy who played Sex Machine (Tom Savini, with the gun cod piece) at a haunted house 10 years ago.

Desperado rings a bell, but I can't say I remember either of the other two :confused:


El Marachi was the original movie done by Rodriguez for like chump change. Then he re-did it a little differently with Banderas with Desperado. Once Upon a Time in Mexico is a sequel to Desperado and has more great work with Depp in it. All good flicks for sho. :D

The Departed was fantastic, I think! It gets a bad rap but I loved it. :beer:

[Broncospsycho77]

Blood Diamond was good, too. From the same year as The Departed.

[BroncoNut]

Man on fire is a good movie.

[Thnikkaman]

The Sting is a good movie.

[Buff]

Blood Diamond was good, too. From the same year as The Departed.

Leonardo Dicaprio rules. I never thought I'd say that 6-7 years ago.

[shank]

i realized the other day that i thought i hated dicaprio because of titanic... but if you ignore that, he's one of my favorite actors. he kicked ass in body of lies as well.

Yeah, I think the combination of the Aviator and Blood Diamond solidified him as a bad ass for me...

Then you add The Beach, The Departed, and Body of Lies and you've got yourself a pretty good actor.

[NameUsedBefore]

I think some underrated but seriously good movies are Road to Perdition, Leon, and Miller's Crossing.

Add Catch Me if You Can to that list, and I totally agree with you. I think he was smart laying low after he made that sub par movie right after titanic. I still need to go back and see the Basketball Diaries.

[chazoe60]

O'Brother Where Art Thou?
No Country for Old Men

Yea I am a huge Coen Bros. fan.

Funniest movie of alltime

[chazoe60]

Funniest movie of alltime

"Donny, shut the F up!"

"apparently you're not a golfer"

[sneakers]

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.

[NameUsedBefore]

I didn't like either of these movies the first time, but The Fountain and Unforgiven are up there for me. The Fountain is really profound. I can't explain it, but it touches upon ideas in such a unique way that I couldn't help but hate it at first, then later come to love it (plus it has an awesome soundtrack). Unforgiven is just... a very good movie. The way Eastwood just stumbles into town underneath a stormy night drunk as hell is hair-raising for me now.

Some others:

Raiders of the Lost Ark. IMO the other Indiana Jones movies are just okay, but Raiders is ****ing beyond awesome. The sense of action and adventure cannot be touched.

The Thing. Best horror film as far as I'm concerned. I mean, seriously it has everything. The monster is creepy and realistic. It looks just like a shape shifting creature would. The isolated location and paranoia stemming from a monster that can disguise itself as the main characters is unbeatable. Oh yeah and it has awesome graphics before Hollywood took a giant cop out with CGI.

Lawrence of Arabia. I had actually bought the DVD a very long time ago and just never got around to watching it namely because I'm really skeptical about old films (I can respect them, but I usually just don't like them to be honest). I saw it in a college class of all places and then watched it again on my own time afterward. Fantastic movie. The scene where they're at the well in the middle of the desert literally creeped me out when I first saw it.

American Psycho. Holy shit I love this movie. Christian Bale's acting is just ridiculous, more so I think there's a lot of unnoticed social and cultural commentary that gets buried against the more obvious murderin'. Plus the dialogue is great, particularly with the... filming scenes. "I'm not trying to get you drunk, but that's some very expensive champagne you're not drinking."

[chazoe60]

A recent movie that I really like a lot is The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I love the cinematography, writing, acting, and naration of this movie. It is one of my all time favorite westerns.

I watched a River Runs Through It last night. I reallly like that flick. I'd put it up there with one of my favorites.

Slingblade

[BroncoNut]

Iv'e never seen the movie Slingblade in it's entiritiy. Just bits and pieces. I think I will take that movie along the next time I donate platelets.
