One of my favorites - The Bounty - Anthony Hopkins / Mel Gibson / Daniel Day-Lewis / Liam Neeson / Sir Laurence Olivier Some great acting here: "You ever seen a woman before ?" lol
I must have matured a bit. Grease is my favorite. I could watch that Funny I didn't have Grease in the mix.
I just don't like too many movies made in the last zillion years. Shawshank Redemption and The Professional, and not much else. Old Hollywood for me...Casablanca (1942), The Big Parade (1925), The Good Earth (1937), The Grapes of Wrath (1940), and Grand Hotel (1932). Order changes with mood...T
Well, I was going to start a "Favorite Movie" thread, but found there was already one in existence. So in the spirit of keeping for the forum tidy... I used to think 12 years was a long time too.
That was a great time period, but I would pick Frankenstein (1931), and The Island of Lost Souls (1932).
Definitely! Classic era for horror films. Tod Browning, Lon Chaney are my favorites. My favorite horror film from that time is The Unknown directed by Browning, starring Chaney and co-starring a young Joan Crawford as the object of Chaney's obsession. Was just on TCM a short while back...T
And don't forget the two thumbs!! Freaked me out the first time I saw it. And the second, third,... Creepy as heck. But, young Joan Crawford in those skimpy circus outfits. Yummy! T
Glen Garry Glenross - "This watch costs more than you car" Braveheart - I can feel his pain when he looses Murran Le Mans - Steve McQueen driving Gran Prix - Monaco C'était un Rendez-vous - Echos through the neighborhoods
Very artsy flick. Ridley Scott. Vangelis. I believe Deckard's apartment was an actual house by Frank Lloyd Wright. Too bad Los Angeles didn't actually turn out that way.
Le Mans is highly underrated, IMO. I guess you have to be a foreign car guy to really love it. The prototypes of that era were the most beautiful.
I can't say a favorite movie but if there is one where almost every line in the movie is memorable, its Dr Strangelove
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!" There is so much going on that this movie needs to be watched about a half dozen times. The first time I watched it, I didn't even realize Sellers was playing three roles. Slim Pickens totally steals this movie IMO...T
Originally Sellers was supposed to play the roll of the B52 Pilot but he said it was too much. Slim Pickens was the perfect choice but you have to wonder how good it would have been for Sellers to play a cowboy.
