Purchased it when it came out on DVD. Money well spent. I can't wait until they do "The Pacific War" which is also done by Speilberg and Hanks for HBO. Should be coming out some time this year. If it's anything like Band of Brothers, it will be excellent.

[3 to be 4]

Road to Perdition was AMAZING. Tom Hanks was brilliant. And Paul Newman says more more with his eyes than other actor since Burt Lancaster in Field of Dreams. Outstanding.

[HburgXL06]

Boondock Saints

Pulp Fiction

Remember the Titans

Any football movie...

BuFu

[83-Steelers-43]

3 to be 4, you ever see the two part series on HBO with Paul Newman called "Empire Falls"? Ed Harris (very underrated in my opinion), Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Newman do one hell of a job. Good stuff.

[CowherLover]

Breakfast Club.....YeahBaby!
The Excorcist........I don't know if it gets better each time I watch it but it still scares the crap out me. Scariest movie ever made.

[lamberts-lost-tooth]

In the made for TV category..."Andersonville"...civil war epic about the infamous Southern POW camp ...EXCELLENT!!!

[CowherLover]

I know this is about movies, but real quick question. Did anyone watch the series Over There that was on FX last year? That was a kick ass show and I haven't heard whether or not if it's coming back.

[Mosca]

Tombstone

Groundhog Day

Unforgiven ("I'll see you in hell, William Munny." "Yeah." [shoots])

i have to dissagree with Friday Night Lights"


that movie was not very good IMO

Well...youre entitled to your opinion....

I thought it hit home about how some of these 17-18 yr old kids are heaped with an incredible amount of pressure and expectations...many are forced to grow up while under the microscope....

I grew up in a Western PA town in the mid 70's where the community lived and breathed on how the High School team performed on Friday nights...I lived this...so yeah..it hit home with me...

To quote the movie:

"We're 17!!...we should be having fun!!"

"Do you feel like you're 17??"


good stuff

[section514]

yah i guess, my grandfather and my uncle are hs coachs, but always in big suburbs in the WPIAL, and I myself played in a large suburb in the WPIAL, so it didn't really hit home to me, and I just didn't enjoy watching the movie, the plot was good, i didn't like the visual aspects of it, the game-play was horrible IMO

I agree. Not trying to brag here or anything but i was a stand out in highschool. I was actually one of the most heavily recruited players the state ever had. We were privileged and everybody knew it. We got to skip class all the time. But at the same time we were consistantly under the lime light and the pressure was beyond imaginable for a 16-17 year old

[Mosca]

Man, I loved Silence of the Lambs, but once was enough. How about the 1986 TV movie based on the same subject, Manhunter? That sight of the burning body in the wheelchair, wow. (Red Dragon is a remake of Manhunter.)

[3 to be 4]

Saving Private Ryan was fabulous. One of my top 5 films of all time.
in fact, heres an offshoot to the thread:
Tom Hanks 5 best roles

Punch Line (played a total psycho "Singing in the Rain")
Saving Private Ryan
Road to Perdition
Forrest Gump
Apollo 13

* Philadelphia is ruined for me by that over the top opera scene. puh-leeeze.

[Ambridge]

Anything with John Wayne




Two of my favorite John Wayne movies that I watch quite a bit is

True Grit and The Shootist.

Other movies:

Tombstone
Full Metal Jacket
The Bridge on the River Kwai
To Hell and Back
Saving Private Ryan
The Hustler

[Hawk Believer]

The Big Lebowski

I didn't really get it when I first saw it. But I lived in a house that had digital cable a the time, and it seemed like that movie was on all the time. I kept on seeing bits and pieces and connecting dots. Now I think the movie is brilliant and hilarious. I think Coen brother movies definately fall into this category because they are an acquired taste for most people.

[Jeremy]

I'm your Huckleberry, that's just my game.

[Mosca]

How about Blood Simple? That movie was really awesome.

Tom

[Took]

Princess Bride, it is funnier everytime I see it and I ALWAYS find something that I didn't notice before.

[Jeremy]

Let me also throw Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells in there along along with Formula 51.

[augustashark]

Deepthroat! Need I say more.

Amen! The Dude abides!:sofunny:

I have to say (since I own almost 1000 DVD's, all widescreen & viewed on a High Def set, of course!) that my top 5 that are better every viewing are:

1) Braveheart (even though 75% not historicaly accurate, still the best film i have ever seen)
2) Shawn of the Dead (funniest movie I have seen in years)
3) Big Lebowski (probably the funniest movie of all time, IMHO)
4) Saving Private Ryan (along iwth the superior Band of Brothers miniseries)
5) Evil Dead 2 (Ash rules...)

Honorable mention goes to every other Coen brothers film.

:bouncy:

[Hammer67]

Am I the only one who liked Wyatt Earp better then Tombstone? Tombstone seemed way too over the top for me and I thought Dennis Quaid's performance was much closer to what we know of Doc Holliday. I also liked Costner's take on Earp, much darker.

[BBC]

Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

evil dead 2 is a classic! my favorite of the 3. its an acid trip without the acid and bruce campbell has to be one of the most underrated b mobie actors ever. i never got into brosco county jr. but his role in it was great.

Have you seen Clerks II yet? It's very funny. I didn't really want to see it at first, but I was dragged into it, and I enjoyed it.

Super Bowl 40 DVD

[tony hipchest]

i'll probably wait for clerks 2 but agree it has to be hilarious.

sb 40 dvd has got to top the list

[3 to be 4]

saw LA Confidential last night. Rollo Tamasi!

[tony hipchest]

"remember the titans". i cant get enough of this movie no matter how many times ive seen it.

keeps getting better.

maybe im just nostalgic with it being on, on the day of the steelers 1st pre season game, but the message of the movie is much better than the football itself

[LambertIsGod58]

Bloodsport...Van Damne's 1st US movie...

[RoethlisBURGHer]

Boondock Saints
Gladiator
Saving Private Ryan
Tombstone
The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly
The Waterboy

Rudi
Remember the Titans

[Black@Gold Forever32]

Hell yea Gladiator and Tombstone are two of alltime favorites.

[beSteelmyheart]

I have to agree that Shaun of the Dead & The Big Lebowski are timeless classics!
What about Night of the Living Dead? "Johnny, stop it, you're scaring me!"

[83-Steelers-43]

To add on a few more from my original list.......

The Longest Day.

Caddyshack.

Animal House.

Once Upon a Time in America.

The Great Escape.

Seven.

Pulp Fiction.

The original Oceans Eleven (Hollywood is currently doing the original zero justice).

[tony hipchest]

o.k. nobody laugh, but "a league of their own" gets better every time i see it. its really a good movie. that and "sixth sense".

"finding nemo" never gets old.

[hardwork]

Friday Night Lights...Hoosiers....Goodfellas

I'll second goodfellas. I've seen it about 5 times.

[SteelShooter]

Mojo to you for Band of Brothers!!!

hands down..the finest "mini series" ever created...:cool:


I totally agree! I watched the entire series again last week while I was home.

Let's add UNDERWORLD also. Not so much for the movie, but for Kate Beckinsale.....should I start a thread for a woman that get's more beautiful every time you see her?

i'm going with super troopers
