Great Movies what say you?

[shasta]

saddens me that the count of monte cristo didnt make anyones list

[HoustonCajun]

I will start with mine

Number 1. Casablanca. Great dialogue. A bit cheesy in spots.

Number 2. Ben Hur. Great story, great music by Miklos Rozas. He had to create Roman music because it wasn't written.

Number 3. Lawrence of Arabia. Great story, great acting.

Then in no particular order

Patton . There was no way George C Scott was not going to win the academy award. As historically accurate as a movie could be.

The outlaw Josey Wales. " Wish we had time to bury them fellas". To hell with them fellas......buzzards gotta eat same as worms".. Man with a vendetta and nothing else to do.

Bullit....Steve McQueen. Enough said. Not one chase scenes but 3.

Forrest Gump....a movie about everything and nothing. A movie about life. And that's all I have to say about that.

To kill a mockingbird.... Gregory Peck.

Gandhi..... Great story...great acting

Gotta have a Hitchcock movie so I pick North by Northwest. Psycho not far behind.

How do you leave out:

Godfather I & II
Shawshank Redemption
Dances with Wolves

A couple of good obscure movies:

Revenge
The Art of Racing in the Rain

Pappilon
The Great Escape
Tootsie
Rain Man
Marathon Man
Finding Neverland

No love for roadhouse? Dirty dancing? Ferris buellers day off? What’s wrong with you people??

I've got some right down your wheel house Mullet.
Bullworth- (Worst of a bunch of BAD Warren Beatty movies)
The Royal Tannenbaums- ( The biggest waste of movie talent in the history of Hollywood).
Cocaine Bear- ( the reason I will never pay twelve bucks to see a movie ever again.)

[Bandwagon King]

I would agree with 85% of those on this thread. Two I don’t think I saw on thread

A bridge too far
Bridge over the river Kwai

Both old, but in color

If the OP had been war movies, those would have definitely made my list.

I wouldn't have guessed that f'n Dragon would have MELTED that chair in a thousand years.

I'm not doubting you didn't dig it, but don't you think there is some "group think" at play here? Only asking bro, not contending.

Let's Geaux.

Not sure what you mean on the group think thought, but I am rewatching GOT again & enjoying it as much as the first time. HOWEVER, If anything there is no freaking way Jon Snow gets away with killing Denaryus without unsullied & Dothraki rolling the dice to behead him as popular as she became. Just because she had to french fry a few people to take of King's Landing, the She had a LONG way to go to get to Cersie insanity, or her little monster Joffrey.

I could have written the ending way better than that garbage they put out in the last season. That's why I can't stand most series on HBO. They ruined the Sopranos & they destroyed the greatest series ever with that last disappointing attempt to rush to an ending. Jon snow should have been the one to kill the night king, even Reek would have been a better choice than Arya. Arya should have been the one to kill Cersei along with giving the Hound & the Mountain a little push off the cliff. Denaryus should have been the queen with Bran as the hand. And that pathetic diatribe Tyrion had to justify why Bran was the best choice for king was just HORRIFIC! That ruined his character. Talk about a major disappointment for GOT fans.

I hear you. Whenever I finish watching the entire 8 seasons, I put in Season 1 Ep 1 and let it roll. F'n unbelievable cool show.

There is one more that I dont think anyone listed and I can not believe I forgot it -



Predator



"If it bleeds, we can kill it."

So if you're that big a fan, can you say with conviction you actually liked the last half of the last season? It just ____ed me off after watching the rest of the series.

Its good in my book. Was not very predictable. Just - the melting of that chair by that f'n Dragon was insane cool (to me). That scene alone makes up for any thing else in S8.

The whole "group think" comment is b/c everybody seems to have the exact same view of the last season. The odds of that are unbelievable low.

All in all, I've never been in one of the camps or cult like followings of shows, movies, etc. but GOT, Gamechanger.
