Like I said, I am a big fan of polls/lists. The band thread is going so well, I thought I would try movies too. Here are some of mine. Keep in mind I am only 28, so some of you may have better ones then me. Jaws - first movie I have memory of seeing, I still watch it everytime it is on. The shark is an enigma, does not make a screen appearance until halfway into the film. Halloween - scary because it is so true to life. the music gives me goosebumps. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - no real explanation needed I think. The Warriors - kinda a stupid film in many aspects, but I enjoyed it. It is from the 70's. If you have not seen it, give it a try. The Green Mile - I am a fan of almost anything Tom Hanks and Stephen King. This one was really good. I have many, many more, but I am interested in some of yalls. No porn if possible.....
No problem with the ones listed so far. A few more IMO........... The Outlaw Josey Wales The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Spartacus Braveheart Gladiator Brotherhood of the Wolf The Godfather I and II Goodfellas Jeremiah Johnson The 13th Warrior Kill Bill Dances With Wolves btw, The Warriors was not a stupid film.
Anything Disaster type as far as I'm concerned! My kinda movies........ Clint Eastwood Spaghetti westerns. Star Trek Movies Titanic (recent one) Rainman (Dustin Hoffman was incredible) Apollo 13 Tombstone The Shining (Jack's version) One Flew Over the Coo Coos Nest (Jack's version) ( I hope I spelled that right) Wallstreet The Game The Perfect Murder Alive (incredible story) The Pistol ( I wonder why?)1992 Mesquite brought up Star Wars How could I ever have forgotten that?:shock:
Peabody's mention of Goodfellas reminded me of 2 of my absolute favorites (and I loved Goodfellas too): Casino and Pulp Fiction. I am hopelessly in love with Renee Zellweger for some reason and I have to list Bridget Jones Diary, Chicago and Cold Mountain.
college movies.... Old School Animal House (obviously) road trip super heroes.... Spiderman first Batman Star Trek 2...Wrath of Kahn first three Star Wars (especially Empire Strikes Back)
college movies? You can't leave out "Revenge of the Nerds." My favorite highschool movie is "Porkys."
hey fellas how about your favorite movies of the last 3 years or so? adaptation punch drunk love kill bill ghost world man, i love lists too. i was compiling a personal list of movies i called "the unmissables" but i lost it. all i can remember about it is that boyz in da hood and the great escape were on it. man, the great escape is good. the one movie i can say that was 100% loved by everyone i have ever met is the shawshank redemption. and mesquite, you are right about jaws. basically its perfect for the genre. fantastic.
Just want to ditto The Green mile. As simple as this movie was it kept me glued. All played great roles and the acting had to work because it wasn't just blowing stuff up and shooting by holding guns in positions that marksman could not hit a barn with
I like all of the Dirty Harry movies as much as the spaghett westerns. I rented Barbershop the other night and it was pretty funny. Two Thumbs up to Saving Private Ryan and We Were Soldiers. Every Jack Nicholson movie I have ever seen except for Ironweed. Too depressing. I even loved Mars Attack where Jack played the President. The Great Escape Casino Godfather I & II Ocean's 11 The Italian Job Jaws The Longest Yard Field of Dreams 48 Hours Trading Places Top Gun Apocalypse Now Rocky I Rambo Caddyshack The Blues Brothers Casablanca The Graduate Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Spiderman And all of the Sean Connery James Bond movies. And Two Thumbs Down to every "chick flick" that me or any of the rest of ya'll has ever had to endure and pretend to enjoy without falling asleep.
