Action, Western, Drama, SciFi? Watching alone or with someone?

OK, go for Pirates of the Caribean with Johnny Depp - if you can find it.

Mel Brooks movies if you want to laugh.

Thumper · 07-30-2006, 07:08 AM

Anything with Catherine Zeta-Jones.

We rented "Hostel" and "Wolf Creek"...both are movies from over seas, that will test your ability of what can happen in other countries.

Both are freakin down right FREAKY!!! blood, death, strange twists.....you have been warned!!!

I'd rate em 3 out of 5 stars

Cool Texan · 07-30-2006, 07:26 AM

The last few movies we got from Blockbuster.com are:

XXX....horrible movie.

Kingdom of Heaven....horrible movie.

Love Song for Bobby Long...pretty good movie actually.

Elizabethtown... a tad bit corny, but a decent watch.

Bartman · 07-30-2006, 08:03 AM

We just watched " the worlds fastest indian", great movie, and based on a true story.

Young frankenstien you cant beat that

sliverpicker · 07-30-2006, 02:53 PM

Rancho Deluxe, starring a young Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston as modern day Montana rustlers, and Slim Pickens as the cattleman's association detective.

One of my all time favorite flicks!

MacFish · 07-31-2006, 08:56 AM

I've seen them dozens of times and I have the DVD's, but Shawshank Redemption and Hunt for Red October still suck me in half the time I find them on tv.

Rakkasan · 07-31-2006, 12:17 PM

Open Range, Tombstone, Slingblade, Radio, Coach Carter, to name a few.

Lately I have not been impressed with the movies coming out. I find myself renting the older ones or movies that have been out a while that have a decent plot.

I am more of a realist when it comes to movies.

El-Kabong · 07-31-2006, 03:16 PM

Blazing Saddles!

TheKing · 07-31-2006, 04:01 PM

Probably the greatest movie ever made Raging Bull.
Apocalypse Now!
Deerhunter
Out Of Africa
Lonesome Dove.

DanS · 07-31-2006, 08:12 PM

Wow. Good picks, TK.

The Outlaw Josey Wales

Excalibur

Schindler's List

Patton

The Eiger Sanction

The Princess Bride

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Iron Will

Sounder

Old Yeller

That should keep you busy for a while.

1. Quigley down under (Tom Selleck with a Sharps rifle). Most excellent Australian western/love story ever made.
2. Hunt for Red October (Submarine movie with Sean Connery). I love submarine warfare with a twist.
3. Forever Young (Mel Gibson) time machine/cryogenic experiment/love story gone awry. Get your wife and a hanky.
4. Silverado (Every famous star imaginable)the most incredible consumate Western with a great plot. The best of the best.
More if you want.

SalmonNilla · 08-01-2006, 08:23 AM

Boondock Saints - It's a few years old but I love that movie. Kinda wierd but funny. Boston Brothers take on crime vigilante
style.

PGJPJ · 08-01-2006, 11:09 AM

I always like moves that inspire me to prepare for the upcoming apocalypse.

"The Day After"
"Red Dawn"

Troutinator · 08-01-2006, 12:04 PM

I'll second

Worlds Fastest Indian

Tombstone

Lonesome Dove

Meister Jaeger · 08-01-2006, 12:47 PM

I lean towards the comedies, so off the top of my head:

40 Year Old Virgin
Wedding Crashers
Austin Powers Goldmember
Caddyshack (of course)
Office Space (if you've EVER worked in a cubicle - a must see)
Southpark (The Movie, or anything pre Season 5)

Tin Men
Glen Garry Glen Ross (what can I say, I'm a sales guy!)

Other, not so funny choices:
Resevoir Dogs
Casino
Goodfellas
Godfather I and II
Road to Perdition
Saving Private Ryan
Murder in the First

I know I'll think of 10 more as soon as I submit this post...like Whistling Wings 6 or 7 (though you won't find THOSE at Blockbuster!).

Decide who you really like and look up what they've done in the past and check out some of the stuff you may not remember.
Robert DuVall(sp) and Kevin Spacey are on the top of my list so.
The Usual Suspects, and Lonesome Dove are good. Although I'm not really much of a movie fan. They all (almost all)have the same story book ending, good guy gets the girl and yada yada.
