If you ever want... A GOOD MOVIE

[HarveyWallbangers]

A lot of people don't like Costner. He doesn't have much range. He's good at playing the one character, but he's had some good movies. Kinda like John Wayne.

I liked The Upside Of Anger too.

[BallHawk]

Anything by Akira Kurosawa is great, except for his late work, excluding Rashamon.

Amadeus was fantastic

Fantasia is great. Fantastic music.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a great movie.

Inside Man is one of my favorites

[BallHawk]

And this, IMO, is one of the best comedies of all-time...

My top 5:

Casablanca (Numero Uno) - Claude Rains and Bogart are brilliant
Godfather Trilogy (Like #1 the best)
Saving Private Ryan
Braveheart
The Adventures of Robin Hood (great Errol Flynn flick)

Ones that don't quite make it but are still worthy:
The Last Samurai
The Longest Day

[Iron Mike]

Ned Braden: What are you doing?
Jeff Hanson: Puttin' on the foil!
Steve Hanson: Every game!
Jack Hanson: Want some?

Love the reference Iron Mike. People always look at me funny when I say "I'm trying to listen to the song!!!"

[Guiness]

Quite the list - hit most of my favorites. Top few I'd note:

Shawshank Redemption - simply fabulous.

I'm a bit of a sucker for frame stories - so All the Usual Suspects gets a vote from me.

Deer Hunter. Hard to describe.

Lastly, I like Hanks, and it's hard to pick out any one of his off the list. Since Bachelor Party isn't there, I'll go with Forrest Gump.

Honorable mentions for Tombstone and Driving Miss Daisy. Great acting in both.

Haven't seen Slingblade - I definitely will now.

As a non-list nominee, I have to say I'm disappointed Pulp Fiction isn't on the list.

I'm surprised so many of you liked Braveheart. I guess the movie just pissed me of because it was such a ridiculout re-write of history. It would be akin to someone making a movie about how the Bears won Super Bowl I. Yes, that bad Watch Rob Roy instead.

Joe Dirt - David Spade, a life story. Funny, none of his stuff is on the list. Polly Shore either.

You have to take any movie based on historical events with a grain of salt. It's impossible to recreate history completely in a movie. Although Braveheart is guilty more than others(The battle of Sterling Bridge and no bridge in the movie version). If you can put that aside, this movie is fantastic. I do like "Rob Roy", but it's not in the class of "Braveheart". I must say that I can't stand Mel Gibson these days. He's gone off the deep end, and his movie "The Passion of the Christ" was a real stinker. But I still love "Braveheart".

I loved Dances With Wolves. Great story and beautiful scenery. I like Kevin Costner a lot. Anyone see one of his from the 90's called Revenge? That was a good movie he was in with Madeleine Stowe.

Revenge...c'mon. Mediocre at best.

oh c'mon....lil romance, lil violence, nice looking costner....what else could you possibly be looking for??

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Dont dog on Forrest, thats a good flick.

Anyone here seen American Me? It is a prison movie, starring Edward James Olmos.

Speaking of prison movies, The Shawshank Redemption for sure.

I HATE Forrest Gump for the message it sends. Atrocious.

I've seen American Me. Good flick. Olmos is good in just about everything.

Godfather I and II are tremendous. The third is a joke.

I'd put up Bladerunner against any flick. Lion in the Winter is great.

Other great movies:

Kelly's Heroes (Donald Sutherland as a Cali neo-hippy is hilarious)
Strange Days (good sci fi is so rare)
Lawrence of Arabia (o'toole is almost always great)
You Can Count on Me (career making role for Mark Ruffalo, and Matthew Broderick is great)
Election (Payne is a great writer/director)
American Movie (if you are from wisco this is a must)
Best in Show
Waiting for Guffman
City of God (this is one of the best movies i've ever seen. It is foreign, but if you like multiple story lines, gangsters, and violence you must see it)
Delicatessen
City of Lost Children
Once upon a time in America

To many more to list.

A decent movie. I LOVE Stowe and believe me it is hard to pan this one, but I think it truly blew. It was a major flop at the time.

I'd much rather watch True Romance if i'm gonna see a Tony Scott flick. Or even a Man on Fire.

Kostner doesn't do much for me as a Crack Head. I do enjoy him mostly in romantic comedies like Bull Durham and Tin Cup. Sometimes me and Ms. Bigguns like to smoke some rocks and go down to the blockbuster and steal a copy of Tin Cup. Doesn't help cause we still gotta steal a dvd player. But, it does count as a "shared activity."

Hey, sharing is good!

I never said anything about true romance.

True Romance is a movie written by Tarantino but directed by Scott. Stars everybody...Slater, Arquette, Oldman, Val Kilmer, Pitt, Dennis Hopper, Walken, Bronson Pinchot, Sam Jackson, Tom Sizemore, Gandolfini, et.

If you wanna lil violence, lil romance, et. THIS you must see.
