Post Movies you like here thread

"Return Of The Pink Panther" can still crack me up. So can "Airplane".

"Glory" is the best Civil war movie I've seen.

"Mister Roberts".

"The Cheyenne Social Club".

"The Man Who Would Be King".

"The Maltese Falcon".

"White Nights"--Baryshnikov and Greg Hines, both very believable in their roles.

"The Hunt For Red October", featuring a Lithuanian-born captain in the Soviet navy who speaks with a Scottish accent.

"The Gray Fox".

"The Full Monty", another feel-good flick.

And a brilliant made-for-TV entry, Dustin Hoffman starring in "Death Of A Salesman", with Colleen Dewhurst, Charles Durning and John Malkovitch. Hoffman was astonishing.

"The Sting".

"Coal Miner's Daughter", with Cissy Spacek doing her own singing and sounding uncannily like Loretta. (Later I saw her sing onstage with Loretta. You could close your eyes and not tell which one you were hearing.) Levon Helm was also very good in that one, as was Tommy Lee Jones as Mooney.

So this will be a thread for a few very good movies, but mostly mediocre to poor ones?

TCM just had "The Caine Mutiny" on. A must see. One of Bogart's best.

"The Dish"

One of my all time favorites.

I watched Its A Mad Mad Mad Mad World last week.

Its still as funny if not funnier than the first time I watched.

And it has a killer all star cast.

 

[Jlpgumbo]

Have to agree with tlawler. Any movie with Charlton Heston!
BEN-HUR. LOVE it.

We had some time to kill before the hockey game so I decided that Logan needed his first dose of "Life of Brian".

I do believe he stopped breathing several times. It never gets old.

 

[Old TexMex]

Emperor of the North Pole. Big Lee and Ernest Borgnine are great.

Watched Robert Duval in Broken Trail last night, very good movie.
They also played Open Range which I liked.
Something about Duval that makes him a believable cowboy!

The Road to Perdition, starring Tom Hanks. The film did not do well at the box office, probably because a lot of people couldn't envision clean-cut-all-American Hanks as a gangland killer for hire during the Great Depression. It's done better on DVD and streaming services. There's subtlety in the film that a lot of people miss the first time they watch it. The film did win an Academy Award for Best Cinematography.

The Last Seduction. This little seen film features Peter Berg in an early acting role before he achieved fame as a director of such films as The Kingdom, Lone Survivor, and Deepwater Horizon. The Last Seduction is film noir in color far as I'm concerned. Tricky little film.

The Great Escape
Apollo 13
Shawshank Redemption
Fifth Element
Money Pit

Duvall did super job as usual...

If you like Robert Duvall you have to see "The Apostle'. Also has Bo Derek in it. Also has Billy Bob Thornton in it. About a Southern Pentecostal preacher in trouble.

When he got wound up and started talking about taking off in a jet plane......

Sand Pebbles= great movie......

The Sand Pebbles-my favorite King of Cool movie.
The Last Detail-just because Jack Nicholson makes one heck of a Salty Sailor!
Original "Planet of the Apes" because Charlton Heston!

One movie I have never seen (seriously) is "Vanishing Point" with Barry Newman as Kowalski. I can't find it any streaming service, only the redux with Vito Mortensen is available. Anyone know how I can watch it?

If you ask me, 'Vanishing Point' was a disappointment and the mentality suits a young man fascinated by fast cars in the desert and some kind of mysterious 'mission' that doesn't make a lot of sense. The ending is a downer....no victory.

Anybody else???

Three faves......

Some off the top of my head I'll stop and watch if I stumble across.
The Great Escape
Apollo 13
Shawshank Redemption
Fifth Element
Money Pit

Apollo 13, and add 'The Right Stuff' to that.
Fifth Element It's really different.
Money Pit a favorite that I recommend to anybody buying a house.

Fifth Element It's really different. Chris Tucker contrasting Bruce Willis is hilarious.

Das Boot......

Dredd
Das Boot
The enemy Below
The Fifth Element
District 9
True Grit
Hatari!

If any of these movies are on, I have to sit and watch.

...had to be the most realistic WWII sub movie I've seen. Several times I thought I was going to drown in my seat.

I Walk the Line.

I forgot I was watching a movie.
