Title: favorite movies? Post by tuck on Dec 17th, 2008 at 12:39pm
hi all!! The other night at work, a few of the fellas and myself were playing a version of "the newlywed game", and trying to guess what our wives 5 favorite movies were. Most of us did surprisingly well. One of my coworkes mentioned that you could tell alot about a person by what their favorite movies were. Melissa's post about the snack foods prompted me to post this, so,,,,, anybody care to list their top 5? I have a REAL HARD time listing only five, but here goes, "The Outlaw Josey Wales", ,,,,," The God FAther",,,,,"The Dirty Dozen",,,,,"Field of Dreams" (I cry every time i watch it) ,,,, and "A Christmas Carol" with Reginald Owen as Scrooge. Oh Hell,, the more I think about , I want to change them all,, no wait, just add two, no,, chahnge them all,, oh hell,,, Tuck

Title: Re: favorite movies? Post by maalstroom on Dec 17th, 2008 at 1:08pm
Pfff, really hard to give exactly 5 movies, as there are a few more which I classify as my all time favourites.
Comedy: Top Secret Monty Python's Life of Brian Monty Python and the Holy Grail Meaning of life (also Monty Python) Old school Euro thrash horror: The beyond House by the cemetery City of the living dead Other horror: Hellraiser Evil dead Stange and creepy: Jacob's Ladder (absolutely divine) anything by David Lynch Drama: Turks Fruit (old seventies Paul Verhoeven when he still was Dutch) Elsker deg for evigt (breathtakingly beautiful love triangle from Denmark) Furthermore I am a huge fan of: Al Pacino Robert deNiro Jack Nicholson Pascal. BTW: if movies are revealing of one's character, does my penchant for horror categorize me as One Sick Puppy ;D? |

It is a good movie, and therein lies the problem. ;) After "The Movie" came out, flyfishing suddenly became fashionable. Those of us who are lifelong fly anglers watched the price of decent equipment suddenly rise into the stratosphere as droves of new-minted enthusiasts began buying up the goods. Rivers filled with the clueless, slogging through the best lies, whipping the water into froth. Fights broke out. No--really. It was pretty bad out there for a while. Eventually, of course, the craze subsided. Those who were truly interested stayed with the sport. The majority moved on to the next thing--golf, or something. Nowadays, flyfishing has settled back into its old ways--a few eccentrics practicing their peculiar art--but you can always be assured of a lively discussion if you mention "The Movie" over a bottle shared by the campfire. Best, George |
Title: Re: favorite movies? Post by cash5542 on Dec 17th, 2008 at 11:53pm
There are lots of good movies posted, especially Jackie's list. The only new one I'd add is "I am Sam" with Sean Penn.

Title: Re: favorite movies? Post by fubar on Dec 18th, 2008 at 3:42pm
I can't list 5...
The company I am with right now is launching a service (top secret for now) that will have essentially ALL movies available ALL the time, on demand. I'm not talking about the puny library of movies that NetFlix or the Apple Store has... I mean ALL the movies. For free, btw. Imagine being able to (from your TV, not your computer) pick and choose from over 400,000 titles from every major studio. Or, being able to watch any NBA game ever televised, for example. I am building the infrastructure to do this... it's bigger than anything I've ever built. I built AT&T WorldNet, for example, so I know what 'big' is. Unfortunately it's only for the US at this point, but world domination can't be too far off :) As we get closer and closer to launching this, I get more and more excited. I can't wait until I can tell you all about it. What I've told you is vastly oversimplified, but when we launch I'll give more details. Our first units started rolling off the production line this week, and WOW it looks good. The thing about hard times... people will always want to be entertained. |

Title: Re: favorite movies? Post by LeLimey on Dec 20th, 2008 at 10:56am
5 is too few
The Painted Veil It's a Wonderful life Pay it Forward Missisippi Burning A Time to Kill There are so many others I love too but I've tried to pick ones that really struck a chord with me. All these films have had a huge impact on me and on the person I want to be. (Thank Goodness he didn't ask for only five books - I'd have exploded! LOL) |
Title: Re: favorite movies? Post by medic1852 on Dec 20th, 2008 at 12:46pm
Everyone has named some great movies. I cant steal anyones thunder with my list as all of you had at least one that I liked a lot. So I am not going to try and list mine. One I did not see was "One Who Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest" and "American History X". So I will add those to the list.

Did I miss something or has NOT one person listed a Bogart move???? Personally, I like "to have and have not". That Bacall chick was something! I hear she went on to make other films too huh? How about switching genre's,,,, like, "The Ten Commandments", or "The Greatest Story Ever Told". I think people tend to list their favorites based on certain aspects of their lives at the time they saw the flick. And then associate that flick with that certain time of their life. For example, I thought that "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" was one of the funniest things i ever saw,,,, when i was 18. I watched it not too long ago,, sober,, and thought to myself,,,, "uh, maybe it isnt as good as I thought". You folks understand what I am saying, or am i just rambling? (I have a tendency to do that). Tuck

But (in no particular order): Lord of the Rings trilogy Schindler's List The Pianist The Debt Der Untergang/Saving Private Ryan/A Bridge Too Far And if we are talking about TV series, Band of Brothers is definitely a masterpiece. |
