    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

All time favorite movies.

Just made a post and for kicks wanted to see what people like for movies.


One of my favorites is Ice Pirates.

Casablanca
Spartacus
 
I love movies and being a woman (yeah I know, stereotyping) I am a sucker for love stories and "chick flix" but I also like many others.
Some of my favs are: Dr. Zhivago (by far), An officer and a gentleman (he sweeps her off her feet :swoon:) Kill Bill (both volumes) Fight Club, Seven years in tibet, Rocky horror picture show and to go with that is of course Beetlejuice and little shop of horrors ( for laughs), Sybil
There is one very touching one with Susan Sarandon about her child dying that is actually a true story on finding a cure but I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it really touched me.
Many more movies, off to the grocery store as I need food badly!

The one you are thinking of is Lorenzo's Oil. It was a good movie with the notable exception of Nick Nolte giving the worst example of an Italian accent in movie history.

Here are a few that I bet virtually no one has seen but are personal favorites of mine. My tastes are pretty eclectic

1.) Were No Angels (Humphrey Bogart Version)
2.) Crimes of Passion (unrated version)
3.) People Will Talk (Cary Grant)
4.) Farewell to the King (Nick Nolte)
5.) Barbarosa
6.) Evil Dead ( I and II)
 
Oops....forgot one

I know it is lowbrow moronic humor but I still can't help laughing out loud whenever I watch it:

Used Cars

"We had nuns protesting out there this morning.....I had to have Jim turn a firehose on them"

Sorry....that's hilarious!
 
John:
I loved "People Will Talk" and generally most Cary Grant movies. On his birthday when they are fighting over the train. Whats the line, "you find out your husband is really 12"?


Ones to ad for me African Queen
Houseboat-Cary Grant


And your description of Used Cars is what I feel about Ice Pirates just a fun movie that leaves me laughing.
 
Pulp Fiction
A Clockwork Orange
Giant
Star Wars
Sling Blade
A Place in the Sun
Almost Famous

to name a few ;-)
 
Lorenzo's oil that's it, thanks John. You are so right about the accent but I love the strength in that movie and the raw emotion that drives people.

Kelli, I also like Pulp fiction and movies with that plot that jumps back and forth, although I found a clockwork orange to be unsettling for me, not sure I can point a finger on why it makes me nervous to watch it lol.

The only movies I really have a hard time getting through is westerns, though I did watch the lone ranger as a kid, but that is tv :rolleyes:
 
I just saw the trailer for "Black snake moan" wow, it looked pretty good, hope it is going to be.

Also, has anyone seen snakes on a plane? And if so would it be worth buying it, renting it or just simply not worth the time in watching it?
 
7 Samuri
Serenity
The Lord of the Rings Trio
Rooster Cogburn because I do like Westerns
Plenty of others but I am terrible with titles

I'm more into comedies.

Something's gotta give

I agree that Lorenzo's Oil was very good.

BTW, if A Clockwork Orange left you unsettled than Kubrick did his job. I think that was the intent. If anyone can watch that movie and not feel that way they are quite a ways out there.
 
I am terrible with titles as well, but for the most part, I enjoy comedies or the other extreme, gory serial-killer, Hannibal Lecter type stuff. I like the dumb comedy of Adam Sandler in "The Longest Yard" and others....."Monty Python and the Holy Grail"....Stephen King....oooh, and "Shawshank Redemption"...

I actually am a John Wayne fan myself, inherited from my mother.....drawing a blank on the name of one my favorites, it was the one with a bunch of the people ending up in a big fight and sliding down into a huge mudhole...? "McClintock"? I normally don't watch war-type movies, but I even like some of those from him...."Sands of Iwo Jima" is a good one....

Absolutely! I like most of Kubrik's films, and most of them are rather disturbing. Ever seen Eyes Wide Shut? It's even more disturbing than A Clockwork Orange.
 
"Shawshank Redemption"...I've seen it probably 3-4 times...Andy Duffrain...
 
Aside from some of the classics, I would have to say my favorite is "As Good As It Gets" with Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson.

I'm also sappy and loved "Pay It Forward".. if not for the movie, for the concept and it becoming reality with the wave it produced immediately following.

"and that was the longest day of Andy's life".....LOL. I love Morgan Freeman's narrations.

Another masterpiece! Jack Nicholson is one of my favorites...How about "One flew over the cuckoo's nest"?
