How about "Lars and the Real Girl" for those of us who want the perfect woman.

(once it comes out on DVD of course)

Lots of good movies mentioned especially Fargo, Heat, Fight Club, Big Lebowski. One of my personal favourites though is Grosse Point Blank. It's an excellent underrated film and isn't too serious either. Also has a really good soundtrack. First saw it many years ago while suspended from school.. Happier times...

If that is Supposed to be "The Secretary" then I wholeheartedly agree.

Also for the Brothers who like to watch stuff of the Dubious nature who have wimmins who like Art-house Movies and not Dubious stuff then watch "9 Songs"

It is a glorified Blue that is all dark and Artsy fartsy so it is OK for the wimmins to watch as well!!!!

The Dollars Trilogy;

A Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More and
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Spaghetti Westerntastic

Latchy

Glengarry Glenross - .Superb acting all round with an all star cast of Jack Lemon ,Alec Baldwin ,Ed Harris,Kevin Spacey and Al Pacino .

End of days - with Gabrial Byrne and Arnie .Just to see the devil fool around for a bit against the forces of good

Catch 22 - If you like your war films with dark humor

Anything with Walter Mathuu in it to for the laughter value

Great movie

"A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing, always be closing"

Wall Street as well for the ultimate slick mofo!

Ruu_Old

Just watched Karate Kid and Ferris Bueller just finished and now Hang 'Em High just started.

Hey Trout, just watching O Brother Where Art Thou on Film 4.

Best quote so far:

Pappy O'Daniel: Shake a leg there Junior! Thank God your mama died while giving birth, cos if she saw ya she'd a died a shame!"

Whitnail and I is the jizz!

Jaws.
Blazing saddles.
Tha treasure of the sierra madre.

Pigman II

Add Commando to the list.

It's the only film about the lengths two gay men will go to rekindle their love affair that should ever feature on this board.

qft
<Bang> "if you're going to shoot, shoot, don't waste talking"

The Kirosawa Samuri movies
Hong Kong gangster movies, not the light hearted ones though

Classic kung fu movies , with subtitles

Films without a "love" story. Sex scenes or eye candy is fine but no scmaltz and emotions

stuff you've seen many times already so you can just veg out and enjoy the scenes without having to worry about the plot.

Kelly's Heroes

Or really funny stuff

citytillidie

Come on what about Rocky and Escape to Victory

Fey!

How about the Lethal Wealon series? Or the Transporter? Or Kiss of the Dragon (love the final kill in that)?

dr strangelove

Animal House - superb movie

invincibleirish

Super Troopers - very stupid!

Reg'stoy

Can't rate 'the long good friday' high enough, the end sequence where the camera focuses purely on Bob Hoskins face (no words, just emotion) is worth the viewing alone.
Another two you must also see are 'Manhunter' and 'To Live and Die in LA'.

And don't forget, the Ewoks :rolleyes: Worse than Jar-Jar Binks imo.

WHAT?! BLASPHEMY!

As for my suggetions...

Die Hard- Show me a man who doesn't like this film and I'll show you a woman capable of logic.

Evil Dead- Great gore fest.

The Big Lebowski- the main character's even called 'The Dude.'

Raiders of the Lost Ark or The Last Crusade- the greatest boys own adventures.

Jaws- Three men in a boat hunting a f**k off huge shark.

Cormic

I have to agree with a lot of the brothers films above. Some that I have not seen yet (in this thread, I have seen the films )

Raging Bull
Unforgiven
Leon
The Shining
Casino
Full Metal Jacket
Life of Brian
Das Boot

there are plenty more to be found in the top 250 films in IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/chart/top). There are some girly films on the list as well so beware.

bigfeller

Crimson Rivers
Fight Club
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
The Sopranos (okay - a series and not a film but it's got violence and strippers!)

Don1

Speaking of Ewoks, anyone remember the spinoff film "The Ewoks: Battle for Endor"? I had it on video years ago........

Yep, remember that being on tv when I was younger. Only ever saw it that one time so don't really remember it.

Pigman II

They're actually quite watchable little films those two Ewok films.

Ah, there is too much blood in Kill Bill to really be a wimmins film.
I love em both.

Battle Royale and Old Boy are very good as well.

Somebody said Leon. +1

Mmm, Natalie Portman........... I mean Natalie Portman now, not then........

Not sure if these fit in here but

North by north west

A night at the opera

Psycho

The Fifth Element

Gary ITR

Goodfellas

Pulp Fiction

Reservoir Dogs

and Intermission, purely because the mingin bird at the start gets a good dig in chops

Havermeyer

Depends on what mood you're in, but how and ever:

Rear Window. Quality movie imo.

Dazed and confused. Also quality with a great soundtrack.

Rambo IV. Just for the absolute gore of it all. I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Airplane. Two of the finest comedies ever produced.

I hope that was of help to you.

Apologies if any of the above were mentioned already.

minidazzler

A few of the "other kind" of films maybe?

Debbie Does Dallas, Deepthroat and Animal Farm (The funny one) You know the Classics.

legend film!!!

Didn't laugh once. Same goes for any of the crappy films Will Ferrell has played the lead in. That's right, I'm looking at you 'Talladega Nights'. You can lump 'Blades of Glory' and 'Semi Pro' in there as well. Awful stuff.

Another vote for Intermission. Best Irish film ever.

Batman, X-Men, Spiderman (not the last one) as well.

On topic, 12 Angry men, if you like the classics Ruu.

12 angry men ..top movie.

for a great laugh try and find Hercules Returns, old Italian movie dubbed over by a few Aussies, classic!






I rented this out of Laser in town a good while back, never seen it anywhere else. Might be hard to find but worth it:)

too many kids and didn't like the plot twist in Old Boy ( good one but a bit pervy )

Vampire movies are good but not your standard hollywood ones, unless there heaving bussoms a plenty .

The Lost Boys
The Fearless Vampire Hunters
Van Helsing ( yeah I know , a guilty pleasure)

Mr Vampire
Vampires in Havana
Nightwatch
Ultraviolet - the Channel 4 series.

John Carpenter's Vampires is on tonight, worth a watch even for the millionth time.
