The Great Movie Thread
How about sounding off on some of the better movies you've seen lately.
I just watched 12 Monkeys again last night. I know it's getting a little old but man I like that flick. Another good one, but much older, 81 I think, is The Wind and The Lion with Sean Conery. And you? Bob

Re: The Great Movie Thread
An Affair to Remember. I like all of them, remakes, as well.
I really love the modern-day version with Annette Benning and Warren Beatty.  Kind of a 'chick-flick'....  .....I know....I know....

Re: The Great Movie Thread
The Jackal is I think my all time favorite movie. I also like Collateral. In case you dont see a trend here... I like guns and movies with shooting in them.

Re: The Great Movie Thread
Second Shawshank
Recently viewed one of my fav's is Cash. I also really liked the 40 year old virgin. Though I wouldnt classify that as being a great classic anytime soon.

Re: The Great Movie Thread
I love old movies. All John Wayne movies rock. My favorite non Wayne movie is probably 12 angry men.

Re: The Great Movie Thread
Gotta be the "Wizard of Oz" Now how many times in your life have you watched this film. I can remember watching this preschool and having nightmares.

Re: The Great Movie Thread
Shawshank #1 (there have been some great ones but this is the best ever for me), Titanic #2 (great production and decent story line) and #3 Dumb and Dumber (some of the scenes in that one kill me). The Austin Powers movies were good too. I love the line "Tastes a little nutty?"
