Hagar Posted June 18, 2016 Report Posted June 18, 2016 Just thought of a couple of more most of you young whipper snappers haven't seen. The Wind and the Lion, with Sean Connerry & Brian Keith. Great flick, especially if you like historically based movies. And I can't believe I forgot Death Wish, with Charles Bronson. There were five of them made. If you really like the first, you'll probably enjoy all of them. Editors note: Had first two Death Wish recorded when my G'son, who was 9 at the time came over and we watched them together. He inadvertently threw me under the bus when he told his mom what we were watching, and how good they were. My daughter came after me lol UTfanatic 1 Quote

I was thinking I'd have to go to a junkyard. My son-in-law got online & got me a brand new one, cheap. Couldn't believe that someone made them for a 20 year old truck. UTfanatic 1 Quote

shovel Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Great lists! Recently, I'll stop at any Charles Bronson or Robert Mitchum movies. I will always stop at Lonesome Dove, Forrest Gump, or Slingblade. Otherwise, my mood dictates what I watch. Right now, I'm jonesing for football season! Quote
Bigdog Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 I didn't see this one on anyone's list yet, 1. Top Gun ! 2. Goonies 3. Fast and Furious series Quote

Examples are Pearl Harbor and Midway. Two historical movies if not ruined, nearly so or pushed to the point of gagging. Examples of how not to toss completely bogus love scenes (as in not even real people) into otherwise historical movies would be The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far and Patton. Even fiction based on fact such as Saving Private Ryan don't need a love story. A place where it is acceptable in a historic movie is like Titanic where the love story IS the story and the historical setting was simply to enhance the plot and making it like a Greek tragedy. In my opinion. UTfanatic 1 Quote

Plenty more action than love story. Besides, how many people do you think tried the same bit they did in the bar after that movie came out? Quote
NDNation Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 Vacation. I like the old ones, but the new one takes the cake. Quote

'We Are the Millers" is very funny. Plus, it has Jennifer Aniston (body double or not). That is always a plus. I really enjoy Andy Sudeikis. He is my kind of funny. One of the most disgusting scenes I have ever seen in a movie was in "Hall Pass". If you have seen that movie, you know which one I'm talking about. Quote

We got stopped by company halfway thru, but to me, it wasn't that funny. I remember telling my mom jokes when I got older, and she didn't think some of them funny at all. As I've gotten ancient, I understand. Had 2 young dudes I worked with telling me how funny Dumb & Dumber was. Halfway thru, I give up. IMO, I was dumber for trying to watch it. It's a generation thing. We're the Millers, I laughed my head off. Great show! PS: Still remember this one to my Mom - Did you hear about the Aggie who broke his arm raking leaves? He fell outta the tree. Mom said, That isn't funny. Makes no sense. Mom, took me about 70 years, but I see your point. Quote

Ty Cobb Posted June 27, 2016 Report Posted June 27, 2016 My wife and I saw The Godfather 2 at the Jefferson. I really enjoyed it. If you're a craft beer drinker they serve it during the movies. TxHoops 1 Quote
