I really liked the visual style of that movie. Especially when the pirates showed up, lol...

Also, Heat has a really great bank heist/street shootout scene that makes it worth the hour and a half you wait for it.

FACT: The street fight scene in Heat was used by my friends TA instructor to show them how to do the whole move-cover-move thing properly.

Theres destressingly few films coming up in this thread that I have not already seen. This saddens me.

This, but it just means we all have similarly fantastic tastes in films. I was going to do what Roman did, but couldn't quite be bothered.

Fairly standard video clip in training regiments..sadly becoming clichéd. Still, one of the few films that has actually got it 'right'.

The last movie I saw where I thought "Damn, that was a good movie" was "Man on Fire"

I hear Deliverence is good, from Grimmie's account.

I love that movie, but it makes me very depressed.

Jarhead is awesome a totall different war film.

Post by **Dog Pants** » February 10th, 2006, 23:19

Films? I could go on and on. I've got 299 at the last count, but some worthy of note include:

Airplane
Blazing Saddles
Caddyshack
Das Boot
Dawn of the Dead (either version, but the original is a classic)
Ghostbusters
Glory
Grosse Pointe Blank
Groundhog Day
Happy Gilmore
Leon
Muppets' Treasure Island
Them!
The Goonies
The Running Man
The Shawshank Redemptioni
The Shining
The Thing

I've also been after a Rutger Hauer film called Split Second on region 2 for years but to my knowledge it doesn't exist. Anyone seen that?

Some good ones there mate. I resisted the urge to go through my collection and list all my favourites, but I'm glad to see your collection is clearly in alphabetical order too!

Post by **Dog Pants** » February 11th, 2006, 0:07

My collection isn't in alphabetical order, just the Excel doc I use to keep track of it (otherwise I forget when people borrow them).

Lateralus · Post by **Lateralus** » February 11th, 2006, 1:22

Hehe, well thats close enough.

I find if its alphabetical and theres a hole on the shelf I can figure out whats missing. Remembering who I lent it to is another matter!

as far as movies you may not have seen, i'd have to say that The Salton Sea, Kafka, Naked Lunch, Buckaroo Banzai, UHF, Cannibal the Musical, Raising Arizona, Real Genius, The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish, Night on Earth and suburbia are worth a try.
NB: some of these have a verrrrry small number of people who can actually watch them, but i like them all.

I keep thinking of more, but here's a few on a similar theme: Delicatessen, The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover and La Grande bouffe. I wouldn't say they were particularly amazing films as a whole, but certain scenes are still vivid in my head even now, 10 years after having seen them last.

Mind you, the same could be said about most of the older films with "Cannibal" in the title. In a bad way.

Did anyone else feel that Mel Gibson's remake of the classic Life of Brian wasn't anywhere near as funny as the original?

\Found in a 'funny' email from my Dad
