    The Sting - Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Awesome movie.

    edit: just looked this up. The Sting won 7 Oscars. And it's not even a "serious movie".

    "The Sting" was made right as we were beginning to pull out of Vietnam. Hollywood apparently wanted to feel good again.

    Some I haven't seen listed here:

    Jesus H. Christ, no love in here for "Citizen Kane"?!

    "The Killing" (Stanley Kubrick, 1956)

    "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit" (Nunnally Johnson, 1956)

    "People Will Talk" (Joseph Mankiewicz, 1951)

    "The Philadelphia Story" (George Cukor, 1940) There is a scene with James Stewart and Katherine Hepburn that is worth the price of admission. They never touch, as I recall, but their sexual energy is electrifying.

    War Movies:

    ...
    Own it but not that good. British actors are good but Amercian parts kinds suck. Ryan O'Neal as a Para Divison Commander. He always loks like he's going to cry.

    replace with " the Longest Day" great cast including Duke

    Also add Glory , Gettysburg, Zulu

    I only really mentioned Ryan O'Neal because he's famous... not necessarily because he's good.

    James Caan was ok, but I agree Redford and Hackman's parts weren't that great. Cool to see them with small parts when they were younger though. Hopkins and Olivier were solid though. Favorite line in the movie: "We haven't the proper facilities to accept your surrender. Sorry."

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    1. i rented this from Blockbuster (online) a few months back, so it's out there.
    2. you forgot to mention Clancy "The Kurgan" Brown, who is the main "villain" in Bad Boys!



    i'm old enough to remember A Bridge Too Far when it was a first-run in the theaters. sadly i opted for a double-bill of Island of Dr. Moreau (the Michael York version) and Future World (the sequel to Westworld) instead, so never saw it.

    Just watched The Wind and the Lion (1975) starring Sean Connery and Candice Bergen and Brian Keith.

    While having Connery as a Moroccan Islamic pirate is rather absurd, the film has some interesting dialogue about how Americans are perceived by foreigners (listen to the Brian Keith as Teddy Rooseveldt's "Grizzly Bear" speech, which is very prescient for the time and relates to our foreign relations today). Plus CB was rather hot back in the day.

    my buddy is trying to hip me to the work of Sam Fuller.

    sadly, the only SF flix I have seen have been pretty crappy (Shark! with Burt Reynolds and The Naked Kiss), but then I was told that these were some of Fuller's early, semi-exploitation cum pulp works that don't represent his latter, greater films.

    The Big Red One is on the short-list, though.

    definitely Zulu - but I'm a sucker for any of the older British Colonial Empire Epics, especially Indian. The original Four Feathers (not in India, of course)!

    The challenge now seems to be finding a good movie not on this list already. So I'm going out on a limb with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Saw it in the theatre as a kid and was mesmerized. Saw it as an adult (with my own kids) and it is still good.

    Holiday Flicks:

    You either like, It's A Wonderful Life, or you don't. I watch it every year.

    Christmas Story - careful with this one, you'll put yer eye out!

    Christmas Carol - multiple versions. I like the one made around 1935 or '39.
    Try to keep two ideas in your head at the same time without blowing your brains out your ass.

    The Last Picture Show; a young, really hot sybill shepard, and cloris leachman as a suprisingly hot couger.

    Hell In The Pacific; lee marvins best film imo. little dialog and dramatic scenery.

    This thread has aided my netflix queue immensely.

    How about "Kentucky Fried Movie"? So much classic shit in that movie. "I'm not wearing any pants, details at 11."

    Just finnished Lawrence of Arabia last night (took two nights - didn't realise how long it was).

    Wow

    What a completely rad film. I can't believe it took me this long to see it. I honestly would pay like $30 to see it on a big screen.

    Strange Brew - '83

    The American Astronaut - Isn't too old but feels like an old movie. '01

    Drunken Master - '78 Perhaps Jackie Chan's finest role ever.

    Drunken Master II - '94 Perhaps Jackie Chan's finest role ever.

    Just stumbled upon this Spaghetti Western called CEMETERY WITHOUT CROSSES (1969).
    It was directed by and stars French actor Robert Hossein.
    While ticking of many of the tenets of the genre, it actually unfolds more like a French New Wave interpretation of a Spaghetti Western; it comes off like a cross between Leone and Jean-Piere Melville.
    Hossein's "hero" is OCD and rather melancholic, while still being an enigmatic badass.
    One of the best of the genre post-Leone for sure.

    Watched UHF again a few days ago. Weird Al is a national treasure, and the pre-Seinfeld Michael Richards is basically just the first iteration of Kramer.
