That's an outstanding list. Any one of those movies could be in my "top ten." Although I have not seen Gardens of Stone. Good stuff.

It's an older movie, but quite good... stars James Caan, DB Sweeney, Angelica Huston and James Earl Jones... it delves into the anti-war movement back then, from the point of view of soldiers...


Look for it at your video store, I'd be interested to know how you like it...

And thanks for the compliment... I ALMOST included "Glory Road" on my list, but my reasons for loving it are purely personal-- I've actually played golf with Don Haskins, who was the subject of that movie... I learned something I'd never noticed before the last time I saw it a few days ago-- Haskins actually has a cameo role, maybe 15 seconds long, in it... he plays a gas station attendant, dressed in coveralls...

 

[silverbear]

1. American Graffiti
2. Lonesome Dove
3. The Great Escape
4. McLintock
5. Cool Hand Luke
6. Stalag 17
7. The Cowboys
8. Dumb & Dumber (shut up)
9. Rear Window (Hitchcock version)
10. The Godfather I

You seem to be more of a fan of the older movies, for the most part... not that there's anything wrong with that, I can still enjoy a good Bogart movie...

 

[silverbear]

1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Jaws
3. The Shining (the Stanley Kubrick version)
4. Dawn of the Dead (first one)
5. Zulu
6. The Road Warrior
7. Glory
8. Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
9. Kelly's Heroes
10.Young Frankenstein
11.Stand by Me

Yeah, I know...11.

Hmmm, any list that includes Zulu (a young Michael Caine), Glory and Young Frankenstein can't be all bad...

But as good as Glory was, I kinda prefer Gods and Generals... it didn't get great critical review, but I was struck by the acting job of the guy who played Stonewall...

Now, Mel Brooks does comedy as well as anybody, and Young Frankenstein was a howlingly funny sendup of horror flicks... I also liked Blazing Saddles...

 

[silverbear]

Good list Hos.

"Cool Hand Luke"-- the car wash scene... my gosh that's delicious!

NOBODY can eat 50 eggs...

Sometimes, nothing can be a real cool hand...

 

[silverbear]

1.LOTR Trilogy
1.X-Men Trilogy
2.Star Wars Trilogy
3.Big Lebowski
4.Tombstone
5.Black Hawk Down

GREAT call, Payton...

 

[silverbear]

No certain Order:

Glory
Slingblade
Airplane
Braveheart
Stripes
House Of Flying Daggers
Last Of The Mohicans
Rocky
RESERVOIR DOGS
Millers' Crossing

Beyond Rangoon(honorable Mention)

*********************
So many worthy flicks I would include if a top 50 list was solicited

I really liked Last Of The Mohicans, too... it's not often that great novels are turned into good movies, but they did a good job with this one...

If you liked Airplane and Stripes, I know you have a goofy side to ya... so do I...

Dang, Heat and Zulu good picks! I forgot my favorite John Wayne film, El Dorado. I scold myself....

Gaily bedight
Our gallant knight
In sunshine and in shadow

I've travelled long
Singing a song
In search of El Dorado...
