The great movies thread

Only thing bad about the 80's was the mullet. ....and interest rates.

 

Yup...

 

American Beauty is a top 5 for me.

 

Didn’t see it mentioned but Act of Valor was f’ing fantastic. I watched it again last week for the severalth time.

 

Gettysburg
Zulu
Battle of Britain
Midnight Run
ToKill a Mockingbird, Gregory Peck
The Searchers
Glory

Chernobyl HBO series

 

IMO, Back to the Future is the best. It has stood the test of time, everyone has seen it, and everyone loves it.

Couple dark horse votes:

The Midnight Meat Train. Stars Bradley Cooper, but mostly for the awesome title.
Teeth. Includes a superhero with a biting vagina that has accidents and then learns to use her power for good, incest, and a dog.

 

I don't know. I would love to see interest rates that actually encouraged people to save money. I remember as a kid having a couple hundred bucks in the bank and making tangible interest on it. Not anymore

 

thanks listing so many that I haven't seen I will watch some , many listed, did not read them all ...but here is a few of mine absolutely in no particular order whatsoever too many hundreds of Great movies of any genre.
by all means if any of you have not seen any of these listed please watch him you'll enjoy yourself!

Blade Runner

Coca Cola Kid

Lost in Translation

The Usual Suspects

Crouching Lion Hidden Dragon

Dirty Rotten scoundrels.

Bridge on the River kwai

The Great Escape

Papillon (only the original!)

John Carpenter's "The Thing"

Schindler's list

The Secret in their Eyes.. (only the original subtitled version the stupid effing American remake sucks) subtitled but utterly great film!!!

Close encounters of the third kind.

The English Patient.

Reservoir Dogs

Westworld ( Yul Brynner)

The Andromeda Strain.

Obviously.... Forrest Gump
Castaway, and other Tom Hanks work.

Alien and Aliens !!

Terminator & only Terminator 2.

 

Would you care for two out of three?

 

Lol... I was in a hurry...lol

 

Can't believe no one has mentioned these two. Just incredible movies:
Primal Fear
Amadeus

 

For Primal Fear the movie really paled in comparison to the book...I liked it but not in my top list personally

 

Along those lines - The Vanishing, the original French/Dutch production not the Hollywood version, possibly the most terrifying film I've ever seen..

 

You have very good taste, my friend. I agree with most on your list. The English Patient is a masterpiece.

 

Independence Day
Battleship
Battle Los Angeles
Cowboys and Aliens

I f'n hate aliens and I am glad we kill them all in those movies.

 

What a racist, awful thing to say.

 

If they don't invade and try to exterminate the human race, I won't wish them all dead. They are worse then the commies in Red Dawn (original) or the dragons in Reign of Fire. (2 more good movies)

 

Made me remember Cowboys and Aliens. That was a hoot.

 

ALM!

 

That read like something Broome would write.
