Your favorite movie

[Ramon]

Not a lot:

1. The Usual Suspects
2. Blade Runner (they're doing a sequel apparently and using Harrison Ford!)
3. Godfather
4. Shane
5. There's one I've been looking for with Michael Caine as an older husband and (I think) Donald Sutherland as the wife's younger lover and the plot is really good but I can't think of the name, I just remember I really liked it.

those 2 have a classic one : The Eagle Has Landed
can'nt find any other movie with 2 of them .

Edit : did'nt read post NR 12 . that could be it .

[Ramon]

Any fans of Stephen kings movies or books ?



Storm of the Century , is highly recommendable !!

[Ramon]

This one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleuth_(1972_film) ?

Only 5? blimey....

A bit like songs ie depends on mood, but I'll have a ponder of "if I could only have\watch 5"

In the mean time:

Given the blood lust above: have a look at Baise Moi :wink:

Four Minutes - a far superior, and maybe original of before US cleansing remake of Whiplash.

Something Korean: Guilty of Romance or Coldfish.

Noce Blanche or Girl on a Bridge: Paradis at her sublime best

Metropolis - the full marathon jobby with all the lost\cut stuff .

You can post as many as you want my friend.

you gonna have to add , Once Upon a Time in the West , my friend .
Also one of the top classics !!

Is that another Ennio Morrecane one? I'm not sure if I've seen it or not

Billion Dollar Brain

never heard of it !! i saw others mention it too .
gonna Put it on my list to watch . thx.

Definitely worth while; watch the normal version, then watch the Directors Cut version - without the Vangelis music, very different for the same film

Ridly Scott is executive producer and not directing, looks like it could be good. Doesn't look anything like Blade Runner 2 by K W Jeter which is the book I have.

Now if Ridley Scott could direct a film of David Zindell's sci fi novel Neverness I would die a happy man.

I will look for it when it comes out but I am not sure about doing a sequel of such a seminal film :wink:

Does that include me? I hope so, because I've gone through our collection again and again, but I can't possibly whittle it down to anything less, I've already butchered my original list. Here goes:

12 Angry Men
2001 A Space Odyssey
Amadeus
Blue Velvet
Bringing Out the Dead
Dune
Empire of the Sun
Fight Club
Flight of the Phoenix (the original, of course)
Gattaca
Insignificance
Master and Commander
My Cousin Vinny
Once Upon a Time in the West
Papillon
Parents
Quills
Shine
Silent Running
Spring And Port Wine
Twin Town
Two Hands
Usual Suspects
Waking Ned
Withnail and I
Wondrous Oblivion


Every one a classic, IMHO.

Your favorite movie

Silent Running - not seen that for years, have to get and watch again.
the little robots - Hewie Dewie Louie

[PatBlock]

...the little robots - Hewie Dewie Louie

Haha that's the one. How can the "death" of a little robot bring you to tears? Brilliant.
