[Tanner]

FuzzyButt and Angel,

Once Were Warriors was an awesome movie. Yes it did make it to the U.S. I watched it about three years ago.

[THE REEL HEY_YALL]

Awesome to see someone mentioned ANIMAL HOUSE before me [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Now here's one that definitely has been skipped

[B]MAD MAX 2 [b] The Thunder Dome one.

I've seen Summer Lovers with Darryl Hannah. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Platoon, very awesome movie, indeed.

Tin Cup was a good movie as well.

Any Given Sunday I've seen 8 times from beginning to end, including the director's version 4 times.

Natural Born Killers

And for overlooked movies, and I'm sure I'm not alone on this one guys:

ALL OF THE PORKY'S MOVIES
"So why do they call you Meat?"
"Ummm, why do they call you Blossom?"

[Phish_on]

Citizen Kane
High Plains Drifter (& every Clint Eastwood western)
Sands of Iwo Jima (& every John Wayne war movie)
Treasures of the Sierra Madre (& every Bogart movie)
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Every James Bond movie, some more than others

A River Runs Through It definitely has some good lines, especially the one about not being late for church or fishing -- and it's great when the Brad Pitt-guy comes UP from the water, rod first, with the fish STILL ON! Of course! Oh ... was I in the water?

This list will change tomorrow

[Killertraylor]

Just got a portable DVD player and 13" Tv/vcr for my North River - our favorite fishing movies:

American Pie "This one time, at band camp..."
Austin Powers 1&2
Happy Gilmore
Dumb and Dumber "That John Denver's full of sh**"
Top Gun
Unforgiven
Jeremiah Johnson "Pilgrim, you know how to skin Griz?"
The Perfect Storm
Any hunting or fishing video.
