The Warriors,
forgot about that one.....finally came out on DVD a few months ago

Well, they haven't made my favorite series of books (The Lensman books) into movies yet, so...

Almost any John Wayne movie; but I'm particularly fond of 'Big Jake' and 'McClintock'

All of the Annette and Frankie movies.

crap, me too
"Warriors, come out and pla-ay, Warriors, come out and pla-ay"

Anthony, good call on "Sexy Beast" too, Ben Kingsley owned that movie...

I had to put closed captioning on that movie - I could NOT understand what the heck they were saying :zoinks: I liked it - didn't love it.

You left out Bonzo and his co-star ... whatzisname ...

(Frankie and Annette? Gag a maggot, man ...) :D

The Silence of the Lambs-Outstanding performance by Anthony Hopkins

Cool Hand Luke- Paul Newman was amazing! The best line 'What we've got here is failure to communicate....'

Tombstone - Val Kimar as Doc Holiday was brilliant

Nightmare on Elm Street - Scared the shit right outta me

Slapshot - Hanson brothers, need I say more

Pulp Fiction - Great come back for Johnny

Lost Boys - Sexy

The Lion King - Just amazing

Loads more, very hard to choose!

I would have thought Sherie's favorite move would have had a foot rubbing wizard in it but what do I know? :P

The best movie of all time was Caddyshack, anyone that disagrees with me is an idiot. :D

Here ya' go:

The Man Who Would be King - Michael Caine/Shawn Connery (Absolute favorite movie)

Quills - Geoffry Rush (Should have won the best actor Oscar)

Devil's Advocate _ Al P/Keano R

Pitch Black - Vin Diesel

Pulp Fiction - John T and gang

The African Queen - Humphrey Bogart

Excalibur - don't know who the hell played in it.

The Outlaw Josey Wales - Clint Eastwood

VideoDrome - Big dick James Woods

The Killing Fields (The death and life of Dith Pran) don't know who the hell played in it

Altered States - William Hurt

One flew over the Cuckoo's nest - Jack N

Etc....

:ttth!:

lol...I knew I had been in the UK a while when I didn't need subtitles anymore. You think they were bad try a thick Newcastle accent...make the cockneys sound clear as day.

one of hubby's fave films.

Directed by John Boorman

The stand out performance for us is Nicol Williamson as Merlin. He is so wonderful in that. However, Helen Miren and Patrick Stewart both pop up as well.

LOL well those are dreams not movies!! LOL Can you ICQ me when you have a chance 127296286 spank you! :)

Oh yes, I would have to say;

The Warriors was amazing

Clockwork Orange-messed me up

How I could have forgotten Fight Club and Snatch :rokk:

Wow...lots of great lists. Seeing as we've watched PG and G movies for a good part of the past 10 years or so with the kids - I don't have many new movies to add to the list that aren't kid-approved. lol

Some that popped into my head immediately...

Lord of the Rings (I & II)
Signs
The Matrix
Men in Black (I & II)
Frequency

Older flicks that I've recently subjected my kids to....

Gone With the Wind
Sound of Music
Kiss Me Goodbye
Phenomenon
Footloose
Poltergeist
E.T.
Star Wars (the originals)
To Kill a Mockingbird

Thanks to NetFlix we've been watching some oldies lately....I am a movie fanatic - I'll watch any genre....foreign films, indies, oldies, classics, musicals, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, drama, comedy...it doesn't matter. I could watch them 24/7 and never get tired - lol

Great topic - you guys gave me some great ideas for some new ones to rent and try out. :okthumb:

Wow some tough decisions, but here goes:-

Comedy- The Castle/Wog Boy (Australian Comedies)

Action- True Lies

Adventure- Hudson Hawk

Drama- A Few Good Men

Crime- The Sting

Animation- Aladdin - Robin Williams Humour

Sci Fi - Rocky Horror ( what can I say I'm a child of that era! )

Western - True Grit - John Wayne is a legend!!

Romance - Jerry Maguire

Epic- Braveheart / Gone with the Wind

:rokk: In my collection.

I must have blacked out when I forgot about the "Snubbed by the Academy" Milo and Otis :rokk:

You left out Bonzo and his co-star ... whatzisname ...

(Frankie and Annette? Gag a maggot, man ...) :D[/b][/quote]
Yeah, he made you Libs crazy, didn't he?
Actually, I watched only a few of Reagan's movies. I've always preferred Westerns and sci-fi (with a few like the Annette and Frankie movies thrown in to even the mix).

Gag a maggot? Anyone who would say something like that about Annette has to have something dreadfully wrong upstairs...

I see someone mentioned The Outlaw Josey Wales. That was a damned good movie, too.

Funny that Doug and I created these lists Saturday on our long drive through Florida.

You've got Mail - All time favorite - as Doug says...I'm a sap
His Gal Friday - Hepburn/Tracey - 'nuff said
Tombraider - I want to be Lara Croft when I grow up
Matrix -
The Princess Bride - Best Lines
Arthur _ Very best one liners
The story of O - DV will understand this one
CornHole Patrol....oops!

And yes...Emmet Otters Jugband Christmas is a must in this house every Christmas...at least 10 times.

i can't belive I blanked out my total love for John Hughes pre-home alone days. Everything from The Brat pack stuff to Ferris to Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
