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???
Really enjoyed Vanishing Point as a teenager and now at 60 it is safe to assume I am a dessert rat. So the dessert with fast cars I might enjoy watching it again. Have not seen it since then but I did see a old music video recently featuring scenes from the movie. As I recall deliver a car in short order half way across the country in the end pays the price for risking it all. Good movie.

At Christmas, every year without fail...family films without equal.

A Christmas Carol (1984) with George C. Scott as Scrooge. Has the best Marley's Ghost (Frank Finlay) ever in it, "In death we wear the chains we forged in life." Also the best Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future.

The Bishop's Wife (1947), starring Cary Grant, David Niven, Loretta Young, Monty Wooley, and quite a few other familiar faces. A great film with a moral that holds true seventy-two years after the film was made.

Miracle on 34th Street (1947). Another classic from '47. Edmund Gwenn is Kris Kringle!

"Gone", starring Amanda Seyfried, free on YouTube.

A girl is thought to be nuts about having been kidnapped, and is ignored when the same man takes her sister. But she does her own search and solves the problem.

Look for the S&W M-36 or 37 she carries.

I liked the trio of, "Fifty Shades" movies, and in one, you see a M-36, with which the heroine (played by Dakota Johnson) shoots a nut case man who kidnapped her SIL.

I also really like the luxurious surroundings and the helicopter and yacht that the Greys own. And I appreciated Christian's family and how they try to support him in overcoming his origins. (Dr. Grey is his adoptive mother; his biological mom was a crack user in a time honored profession. She died when he was about five. I like the way that the once naive college grad (Anastasia Steele) played by Dakota helps him to find healing from his dark past and become a loving family man.

The casting is superb, and if you like Audi cars, you'll enjoy seeing many in the three films. I think Audi may have had a product placement deal in exchange for them using that brand.

"Chloe", starring Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried. A music professor's wife thinks he's running around on her and hires a bright young escort to test his loyalty. But things get muddled when the girl has an agenda of her own.

"Basic Instinct." A wealthy novelist may also be a serial killer, determined to murder the San Francisco detective investigating her. Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone, 1992. Jeanne Tripplehorn plays the police psychologist, involved with the detective and she's a former classmate of the lethal author. An excellent, taut thriller. The ending was a bit of a surprise.

Rewatching one of my favorite Stupid Movies -
Don't Kill It!
Double pump is off the table, ok?
Everybody got that?
I tried real hard to watch Baghdad, TX.
I think it's over near Iraan, TX.
The concept is good, but the characters, dialog and action worse than a middle school play.

Why this list didn't get any "likes" is beyond me. I just remedied that. Some true classics in this list, most of which are favorites of mine as well. If I was going to pick DVDs to take with me somewhere, all of the ones mentioned here would be going with me.

Yo - Slick -
We don't need a list of Classic Movies.
We need a list of current flicks on the streaming channels that most of us haven't seen.
 
Drinking a No Rules and watching the Big Lebowski.

"Mark it fuxxing zero!"

Lots of great films listed. Look for,

The Illusionist, just outstanding.
 
Been watching a lot of old movies lately. The original Universal 1930's monster films, "The Mummy, Dracula, and Frankenstein." Have seen them many times over the years, so I guess maybe they're a link to my misspent youth. Recently watched the 1927 version of "The Jazz Singer" for the first time. I know Jolson was heralded as one of the great entertainers of the 20th Century, and I also know times change. That said, if this guy was considered great, there must not have been much else going on back then. MHO you understand.

Just watched a terrific "actioner" with Chris Hemsworth, "EXTRACTION". Its a slow starter featuring many many cleches. I almost stopped it. Sure glad I didn't. Once the action starts it doesn't let up and it good stuff too. No camera tricks etc. The action is there and it's real and it's non-stop.

This guy is a great action actor. He'd probably be a good new James Bond.

I watched it on Netflix streaming. Check it out...
 
How about "Legends of the Fall" which is one of my favorites.

Last great movie watched was "Once Upon a Time in America". Very long and I had to watch it twice to pick up many things but a fantastic movie.
