Name the movie....
-{ Quote: "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... and death. It shall be life." }-

[Blackspear]

-{ Quote: "who's a Patrick Swayze fan then??" }-LOL and also a Al Pacino and Nicholas Cage fan ;D

Heat - Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer

[bigbuck]

Pacino- YES!
DeNiro- ABSOLUTELY YES!
Kilmer- um?...er?....Not in their league!!

[snowbound]

Speaking of Kilmer, he was excellent in Tombstone.

[ronjor]

-{ Quote: "Speaking of Kilmer, he was excellent in Tombstone." }-

I agree. Good movie.

[ronjor]

Goodfellows. Joe Pesci is the baddest little guy since Edward G Robinson. 8)

There is no doubt about that! ;D

Quite a contrast from his character in the Lethal Weapon series. :D ;) ;D



snowbound

[Meltdown]

-{ Quote: "I'm a big Marlon Brando fan." }- Best film actor ever, even in crap like the remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau he gave mesmerising performances.

Favourite film would probably be one of these three:

Last Tango in Paris (Brando again)
Cries and Whispers
Eyes Wide Shut (brilliant and very long essay on it here (http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/amk/doc/0096.html) for anyone who's interested)

[Blackspear]

To top it all, who can beat The Godfather 1, 2 and 3

Need I say any more ;)

;D ;D ;D

[Dazed_and_Confused]

I'm a sports fan, and a Robert Redford fan, so I have to go with "The Natural".

[Blackspear]

-{ Quote: "I'm a sports fan, and a Robert Redford fan, so I have to go with "The Natural"." }-Ahhhh Bahumbug, like I said who can beat The Godfather ;) ;D

[Rita]

2) Schindlers' List
3) Apocalypse Now

[slammer_JvA]

-{ Quote: "Right,
The Castle (Aussie comedy)...
" }-I've seen "The Dish" while I was on holiday in Australia, and enjoyed the oz-humor in it! (Especially liked the fact that the yanks were depending on 3 simple sheppards from downunder!;D )
Wasn't that the same cast (or from the same makers) as 'The Castle'?
If so, I'll need to see that one too.

cheers mate,
slam

[Ga1tar]

El Cid - Charlton Heston

Can watch that everyday and never get bored

Hello guys! Here´s my choice:

-one, two, three
-the apartment
-Some like it hot
-Sunset Boulevard
-Sabrina
-Witness for the prosecution
-Avanti

In not particular order...should i say i love Billy. ;D

[Labrie]

-{ Quote: "El Cid - Charlton Heston

LOL

that movie was made in my city, valencia.


;D

[Ga1tar]

Two more to add to the list

The Quiet Man - John Wayne
Bridge over the river kwai - Alec Guinness

[ukfan99]

1. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
The scene in the classroom where shes showing 'her girls' slides of Florence after the encounter with the Art Master is extremely moving and touching. The film itself is brilliantly constructed and acted.

2. Kathy Come Home. Captures perfectly the moral atmosphere of the 60's.

3. The Rebel (Tony Hancock). Accidently shows you the real Tony Hancock, and the tragedy of his comic genius.

4. Dune. Although missing out huge chunks of plot from the book, it manages to summarise it into an epic.

5. Metropolis (1925). A silent film, and the final scene wher ethe city is flooded is awesome for 1925, especially when you realise the people drowning ARENT acting, they really ARE drowning.....

6. A Clockwork Orange. Brilliant parable of the follys of thought control.

7. Brief Encounter (Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard). Captures the agony of being english middle class in the 1940's perfectly.

8. Target for Tonight (1942) classic example of wartime moral booster, covering the real truth of how bad the RAF REALLY was at its job at the time (before Bomber Harris was in command)

9. Eraserhead - bizzare 1930's black and white film immediately banned until 1998 because its so disturbing, very Salvador Dali

[bigbuck]

-{ Quote: "9. Eraserhead - bizzare 1930's black and white film immediately banned until 1998 because its so disturbing, very Salvador Dali" }- Are you sure it's 1930's ?? I thought it was a david lynch film?

[the mul]

I also love the film Alamo which stars John wayne.

[Jimbob1989]

Now I've seen that film. My dad enjoys watching spaghetti western's.

Jimbob

[Cochise]

Errol Flynn.....the one and only 'Robin Hood'.........
Basil Rathbone......the one and only 'Sherlock Holmes'
James Cagney...'White Heat'

Another film i'd like to mention here is Field of Dreams.

One of my favourite movies of the modern era.

I love the concept of it, with a great preformance by Kevin Costner and excellent support with James Earl Jones.

I've probably seen this film 100 times and it still mesmerizes me everytime. :)

I am an outer space/middle earth kind of girl.....and NO ONE has mentioned:

Star Wars IV - A New Hope
Star Wars V - The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars Vi - Return of the Jedi

Lord of The Rings - The Fellowship of the Rings
The Two Towers
The Return of the King
