U guys suck 4 not participating. LOL

 

Can't forget Tombstone, Shawshank, Terminator, Treasures of the Sierra Madre, Body Snatchers (original), Blob (original), Thin Red Line, Back to the Future, Wall Street, and The Firm. But I agree with several of your picks as well STD.

 

Body Snatchers with Donald Southerland, L. Nimoy, and J .Goldblum (1978), or the black and white (1956 ) version?

 

I forgot Big Trouble in Little China. It's funny. Most people I find either Love that movie , or flat out hate it. No in between. Now that I think about it , after seeing both of your list. 10 is not enuff. LoL

 

Seems like this has been done before. Movie that yo HAVE to watch if it's on?
No particular order:

Goodfellas
Caddyshack

Blazing Saddles
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Raiders of the Lost Ark

Highlander. (Loved it) As a teenager I wrecked a car I wasn't even supposed 2 be driving ,because of that movie. I was going down an old farm road screaming at my Brother. Better 2 Burn out than 2 Fade away. Lost control , & went into a Milo field . Knocked all the windows out , busted up the grill, & rearranged the front bumper. Thanks Highlander.

 

U guys might have, but I didn't even discover this part of the forum until recently. So....Sorry. Raiders of the Lost Ark. That movie was so good. As a kid , I stayed with a friend, and we went 2 see it at the early movie. We watched it 3 times in a row. When it would end we would just sit there till next previews. Then when everyone came in for next showing . We would get up relieve ourselves, and get more popcorn. Come back after the previews. Anyway. Great movie.

 

I was referring to the 1950's version filmed in my once upon a time neighboring town of Sierra Madre CA, just next door to Pasadena, my old stomping grounds. many of the buildings shown in the movie are still there. The Donald Sutherland version is the remake, which I enjoy all of them even with the overdoses of CGI (The Thing, Body Snatchers, Blob etc), but I do appreciate the artsy nature of the older B&W films with all the "Noir" shadow and lighting effects absent in more modern color films. Still like the original B&W sci-fi flicks The Fly and The Tingler.

 

I actually didn't see the 1950s version until 5 years ago. Enjoyed it, but 78 version I seen at the drive in, as a kid. So it's the one that sticks 2 my mind.

 

I liked Heaven Can Wait, until the Steelers lost.

 

In no particular order:

1. The Road Warrior
   
2. Aliens
3. Apocalypse Now (Director's cut, gotta see the Playmates scene!)
4. Empire Strikes Back
5. Goodfellas
6. Glory
7. Solaris
8. Conan the Barbarian
9. Predator
10. Manhunter

 

I just rewatched that the other day.

 

Conan the Barbarian
Manhunter is that the older movie based off of Red Dragon?

 

Khan, & The Princess Bride. Loved both those

 

Yup, a lot of people don't know Silence of the Lambs was a sequel

 

Must be twoo wuv.

 

And featuring a pre-CSI William Petersen. Love Michael Mann films - very artsy with amazing soundtracks and cinematography. Two lesser known thrillers from that era were Flashpoint with Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams and The Mean Season with Kurt Russell. Music scores by Tangerine Dream and Lalo Schifrin, always makes the movie IMHO.

 

Seen both

 

Or that Anthony Hopkins was not the first 2 play Hannibal , and I have read all the books.

 

I'm with you on a few. Was surprised to see Robert Downey's Holmes. I loved both those movies and yes the 2009 one was better then second one. I do believe that a third is in the works with Downey and Jude Law in it. I sure hope it happens, I'm dying to know how he survived that waterfall plunge with Dr. Moriarity.

 

I'm a Sherlock fan in general. I thought they did a killer job.
