hitman Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 top 5 Hatari Harlem Nights The Enemy Below Master and Commander Sahara THIS BE THE HITMAN WE GOIN QUIET
Caraccioli Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Sahara was playing on the flight back from Australia. I watched it three times in a row. (It was up against Hitch, Robots and some other movies I don't recall and was by far the best choice.) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Caraccioli Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Huh. I failed to find a time travel discussion in here as well. I know we were talking about it awhile back. *Sigh* Must be gone... I should add Slackers to my list. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Misson Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Hey, I just read they finished principle photography on Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. I didn't even know they had a script, much less that they were filming it. Cool. "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright
BriarRose Kildare Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Wow, way cool. I have not seen this discussion before. Hmmm, now me gots ta think over all of me favorite movies..... Mission, that is super cool. Aye, I am looking forward to the new Indiana Jones story. I just hope I'm not disappointed.

Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
Blackbead Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 I've given up trying to have one movie as my favorite, there are just to many. It's like trying to decide on a favorite book. Instead, I ask most folks "if you coul watch any movie ever made tonight what would you like to watch?" For me, tonight it would be "The Keep." It's still close enough to Halloween to be a night for chills and the supernatural and that TangerineDream sountrack, the images, the historical setting, the whole vision - that's what I'm in the modd for tonight. Of course, I would want it to be on DVD so I may have to wait for a bit longer . . . "The Devil in the Keep wears a black uniform, has a Death's Head in his cap, and calls himself a Sturmbannführer!"

Matusalem Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Greydog, are you a Bogart fan? You should get Key Largo...it has both Bogart and Edward G Robinson. I also have Dead Reckoning, To Have & Have Not, and the Big Sleep. As for my cheesy movie favorite, it's Lost Boys. Terrible script, bad acting...great movie!
BriarRose Kildare Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Still thinkin' Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. The Dimension of Time is only a doorway to open. A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
Graydog Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Hold your breath Matusalem, I do not care much for Key Largo. I like Bogart but, that movie is not one of my favorites. I thought Robinson, while an excellent actor, played the character without enough evil (and he WAS evil). I like Bogart best as a heavy or private dick, with Sahara being an exception to that preference. Thought he was great with Cagney in "Angels with Dirty Faces". The three of them Bogart, Robinson & Cagney virtually defined the movie gangster and brought a charisma to the screen seldom seen today. -Greydog Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!
Matusalem Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Hold your breath Matusalem, I do not care much for Key Largo Greydog, I would have to agree with you. Although, that movie is on my living room shelf, I don't watch it much. Some of the lines in 'To Have & Have Not' were good "You know how to whistle, Steve....just put your lips together and blow". Dead Reckoning as a bit of a feel-good Bogart movie but not a strong contender. I shall taske your advice. Maltese Falcon & Casablanca I have the DVD.
Red Cat Jenny Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Gosh this will be tough All the Lethal Weapon movies All the 007 movies Most of the Indiana Jones Movies Tequilla Sunrise The Deep Le Pac De Loupes Toombstone Dances With Wolves 1776 French Kiss The Wedding Planner Crossing Delancey (Don't laugh) Anything by Mel Brooks Lots of oldies anything with Bogie or Grant Especially Casablanca The Maltese Falcon Room for One More Treasure of the Sierra Madre And all the Pirate movies of course.. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
BriarRose Kildare Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Okay...I am gonna list the movies I can think of right now off the top of me head. I am sure I will be adding to the list. Jaws Jurassic Park Ghost in the Darkness Lost Boys (campy but fun) Dracula Heavy Metal Escape to Witch Mountain Sleepy Hollow From Hell Practical Magic Notting Hill Sense and Sensability American Graffeti All of the Pyrate movies of course Indian Jones Movies Cary Grant Movies especially Arsenic and Old Lace The Bishop's Wife Heidi The Little Princess The Wizard of Oz All of the John Wayne Cowboy Movies especially Big Jake McClintock True Grit The Angel and the Bad Man The Sons of Katie Elder The Quiet Man Gettysburg Count of Monte Cristo James Bond Movies Tombstone The Quick and the Dead Musicals: On a Clear Day My Fair Lady The Sound of Music The King and I Grease Brigadoon The South Pacific Well I know there are more...but I gots to think a bit more before I can add them to me list.

A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
Iron Jon Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Here are some I can think of off the top of my head - I always liked the Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood movies, A Fistful Of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, as well as some of the Eastwood movies that came after. For newer movies, I really enjoyed the Lord Of the Rings trilogy. In my opinion they could have even made it even longer, or in more parts, in order to include a lot of the stuff they left out. I've read the books at least 3 or 4 times since I was young and the movies followed them pretty well. I also liked the Blade movies... martial arts and vampires, always a good combination ! Jonathan Washbourne "Jonathan Washbourne Junr of Bridgwater appeared in court and was ordered to pay £5 fees and charges or be publicly whipped 20 stripes for his abusive and uncivil behaviour to Elizabeth Canaday Late of said Bridgwater by Thrusting up or putting of a skunk under the Cloaths to her Naked Body And then saying he had Done the office of a midwife." (from The Plymouth Journal, July 1701)
