It's one of my favorites, too. Arguably the second best Western ever made. The first of course being Once Upon a Time In the West. BTW if you're referring to the scene I think you mean, where Josie kills the two guys in the trading post, his guns, the two he carries in his belt holsters, aren't Walkers, they're Colt Model 1860 .44 Armies. This was a bit unusual weaponry for a Southern guerrilla. Most Southerners who could get their hands on a decently powerful belt gun wound up with Southern copies of the Colt Model 1853 .36 Navy.  But I guess a .36 caliber handgun was just too effete for Josie. You just know, if this guy lived today, he'd be carrying a brace of 1911 .45s, none of that pussy high capacity 9mm for him!

One, of my favorite lines in OJW was when he was dishin' out some words of wisdom to the folks in the cabin (when the attack was imminent).

He said, something like - Remember, when it's looking bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it you gotta just get plum mad dog mean. If you lose your head you'll neither win nor live.

I watched OJW this weekend on cable just as my wife and kids were going out on a women and kids day (nice quiet house  ahhhh).

One of my favorite parts was after they crossed the river and the "red-legs" were getting ready to come after Josey he sat down against a tree, pulled his hat down, and just relaxed.

When the red-legs were 1/2 way across the river, he pulls out his rifle and shoots the rope sending them all on the Missouri boat ride....

Grace under pressure...

Good stuff..

"Wrong f**king alley"

I only saw one post in here for my favorite movie of all time.

Boondock Saint's

In the US you can only rent it at Blockbuster or buy it from out of the country. I got mine from http://www.videoflicks.com/titles/1096/1096942.htm

GET IT. You won't regret it.

One of my favorite B movies is Army of Darkness. Classic lines.

"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun."    hehe

I don't want to offend any animal lovers out there but every time the cat in the kitchen scene is coming up in Boondock Saints I am laughing about 5 minutes before hand.

Trust me I love animals but througout the whole scene you just see it coming...

T2 and OJW are my favourite along with "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" with Steve Martin....

Dawn Patrol (Errol Flynn is great in this)

Dune

Heat (Some of Michael Mann's best work)

The Young Lions (Brando at his very best)

Marnie (Sean Connery, need I say more...)

Vertigo (Johnny O!! Why are chasing that dingbat!! Think Midge Buddy!)

The Birds (Hitch does a great comedy routine that includes a 12 ga.)

Smilla's Sense of Snow (and yes, I know J. Ormond is anti-gun, I forgive her)

Pathfinder (a must see if you like skiing and archery!)

The Seven Samurai  

Lawrence of Arabia - Well worth the bucks on DVD!

Ronin - Never liked Audi's much...until now.

Das Boot - forget the copies, see this one

A River Runs Through It - I do miss Montana

You'll have to excuse me now...I'm headed to Blockbuster to check out everyone else's lists....

Dune....The Movie?   Have you read the book? The movie is really a hoot when you know what the author wrote.

I last saw that one at the theater, and I can still play back Sting's big scene in my head.

This is one for the Hate page;  What Hollywood does to good books.

We just watched "A Knight's Tale"   I liked the mix of old story (peasant boy masquarades as a noble so he can enter jousting tournament, falls in love with noble girl)  with modern music and a bit of humorous history.  I only wish I had seen it before the Nationals.  The scene where they come to London for the World Championship to the tune of "The Boys are Back in Town!" would have been quite fitting for Quincy.  The jousting scenes are great!  Whew, those guys were real men and the sheep were real nervous!

Another good one was "Just Visiting" with Jean Reno.  It's a Hollywood remake of an older French original with Jean Reno and I think the same guy plays the lackey.  As usual the original was slower, but I think it was funnier.

this doesn't really count as a textbook movie, but its better than most, if not all, of the movies I have seen in recent years.  'Band of Brothers' on HBO is just simply, the shit.  Better acting that Saving Private Ryan, and that, to me, says alot.  And best of all, they stick to the actual history.

Only cayght one episode but it was excellent, much better than any thing else I have seen done on this period.

Go see Iron Monkey....excellent movie..old style Kung-Fu style plot and acting mixed with Matrix style action...wussifies american action flics.

Pat

P.s. you do have to be a bit of a fan of the old style Kung-Fu movies to really enjoy it...and be able to deal with sub-titles

No mammoth list from me -

Did anyone mention "The Matrix" - stellar effects - even if Keanu was in it.

Saving Private Ryan - Epic! If I could pick only one this would be it.

The Godfather - He who taught the world how to truly negotiate

and "Heat" ranks up there for me.
