benos Posted June 14, 2001 Author Share Posted June 14, 2001 In no particular order.... Movies with an * should be viewed with caution. By "caution," I mean either - It could be a "weird movie," (read: don't call me if you don't like it), or don't watch it except in the company of good friends.... Dead Man Bullit Ghost Dog The Osterman Weekend Runaway Train Oh brother, where art thou? LA Story Blues Brothers Caddyshack Dr. Stangelove At Close Range Reservoir Dogs Pulp Fiction Anything by Monty Python Harold and Maude Wild at Heart Blue Velvet Blazing Saddles Romeo is Bleeding Little Big Man *Last Night at the Alamo The Jerk *Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Blade Runner Beauty and the Beast Tombstone Thunderheart Clear Cut (!!) *Top Secret (very silly) Tom Horn The Getaway (Steve McQueen version) The Unforgiven Papillion (sp) The Hustler The Color of Money *The Conversation Ronin The Dirty Dozen Anything with Bruce Lee Kung-fu, the movie Swingers Momento (playing now) One flew over the cuckoo's nest Fast times at Ridgemont High The great escape *Trinity is still my name The Deer Hunter The French Connection ***Happiness **Dancer in the Dark Going south Jaccob's Ladder *A pure formality (subtitled) Life is beautiful (subtitled) (thank you) Cool Hand Luke (thanks spook), Terminator 2 is my favorite "action movie." be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedaddy Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 #1 with a bullet -- Cool Hand Luke. I watch it at least annually. Helps me git my mind right! Paul Newman as Luke, a basically good hearted guy who can't behave for five minutes. Strother Martin as the Cap'n, with George Kennedy, and Harry Dean Stanton. Brings back tender memories of my mis-spent youth. (Thankfully, I never had to spent a night in the box.) Great movie, but you won't want to eat boiled eggs for a month. Casablanca Rio Bravo Chariots of Fire My Cousin Vinny Quigly Down Under Terminator The God's Must Be Crazy The Maltese Falcon Pat Garret and Billy the Kid (Hey man, Dylan's in it!) In Harm's Way On Any Sunday (70's dirt bike documentary) cheesy music, great riding! Texas Chainsaw Massacre (This was a great tailgate party movie, back when we had Drive in's. NO!!! NO MAN!!!, DON"T GO IN THERE!!!) One night, one of my bud's fired up the ol' McCullough and started cutting his way into the drive-in through the hedge. The whole joint cleared out in minutes. Ah, those were the days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 also, in no certain order... Heat - Pacino and DeNiro in the same flick??? Doesn't get any better!!! All Monty Python Wyatt Earp (sp?) The Big Lebowski Blazing Saddles Full Metal Jacket Quigley Down Under The Hunt for Red October The Matrix Unbreakable Pearl Harbor AC/DC LIVE Metallica Binge&Purge Platoon Ronin - damn good DeNiro flick!!! Rounders Payback The Dirty Dozen Battle of the Bulge Always The Breakfast Club any Cheech & Chong and a few more I can't think of at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Romeo must die anything with Jet Li or Chow Yun Fat anything by John Woo the master of action films-visuals are stunning Way of the Gun especially opening scene Ronin-best car chase scene ever (yes I like it better than Bullitt, but that one is cool too) South Park-Bigger, Longer and Uncut Caddyshack Most the rest are posted already Pat (Edited by Pat Harrison at 4:22 pm on June 14, 2001) (Edited by Pat Harrison at 6:41 pm on June 14, 2001) (Edited by Pat Harrison at 2:32 pm on June 21, 2001) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedaddy Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Brian, I noticed the movie "Ghost Dog" among your favorites. I see that name around here alot. What's the skinny on this one? Can I rent it at Blockbuster? It's gotta be metaphysical right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted June 14, 2001 Author Share Posted June 14, 2001 I've got on DVD, and I'm watching it on my girlfriends Imac right now. It's Jim Jarmusch, so it's thought provoking. It quotes text from the book - "Hagakure, the way of the Samurai." Pretty good stuff, especially for a movie. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedaddy Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Brian, I'm heading to the big city tomorrow. I'll try to grab it for the weekend. (Grasshopper, can you snatch the movie from the shelf before the store closes?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Fletcher Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 If your looking for a good nap, Go see 'Snatch'. I'm pretty sure I heard people snoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 That was me....god was that a terrible movie. It was made by the guy dating Maddonna 'nuff said. He probably thinks he was her first...rofl Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcount Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Another vote for 'Pat Garett and Billy the Kid'. Especially the opening (chicken shooting) scene and the "Keep the change, Bob" scene. Both are pure Sam Peckinpah. Don't forget 'The Hunt for Red October'. "Some things don't react well to bullets." And some might find 'The Legend of Bagger Vance' interesting. "You can't make that ball go in the hole, you have to let it." Reminicent of another game on another type of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenard Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Errr...Pat, we even have the same choice of movies! Heat's Bank robbery scenes were "choreograped" by Andy McNabb. I'll add - The Godfather I,II,III Saving Ryans Privates Miami Vice ( of course its not a movie but..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I didn't know Andy M. was in the movie biz. Thought Harry Humphries had that all tied up. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted June 15, 2001 Author Share Posted June 15, 2001 TT, funny, I was thinking the same thing! You create a thread for a database, and this is what you get! After the chitchating has run it's course, I'll do some deletin.' And note, if you add movies to your original post, do it in YOUR ORIGINAL POST. Otherwise, it doesn't take much for a good thread to go bad. Any moderatin' volunteers for this forum? hehe be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenard Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Yep, Andy M. was the technical advisor for the movie. The counter-ambush scenes were authentic SAS, if I remember correctly from his website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedaddy Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Brian, thank you. Ghost Dog was really enjoyable. Communiation aspects were very cool. Alot to think about. It left me feeling kinda sad though. I'm not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 One of my all time favorites is Silverado. It even has John Cleese (sp?) "You're not from around these parts, are you?" A Fish named Wanda Gone in 60 Seconds (the original) The Junkman (sequel to 60 Seconds) El Mariachi From Dusk to Dawn (gave my girlfriend nightmares for days) Hollywood Knights Any Jackie Chan movie Adams Family Saving Private Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38supPat Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Go see Tomb Raider. It may not win awards but it is alot of fun. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Chevalier Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Beautifully photographed, classic story, well choreographed sword sequences. Watch in chinese with english subtitles, viewing the dubbed version will annoy at best and cause screen damage at worst (cause you will shoot it) Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
