One of the best soundtracks EVER!

**ill-advised strategy** · 02-16-2008, 01:49 AM

LA Confidential

American History X

Super Troopers

Fight Club

**Nanuq** · 02-16-2008, 05:06 PM

Chinatown
Jeremiah Johnson
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

for pure campiness and such:

Logan's Run

The original "48 Hours" was great! Nolte and Murphy were perfect in that.

Caddyshack - one of my faves, and still one of the funniest movies EVER.
Strange Brew

Any of the Sean Connery Bond Flicks, and "For Your Eyes Only" for the Roger Moore Bonds.

**schindlerpiste** · 02-16-2008, 05:39 PM

Kill Bill
Adventures of Buccaroo Bonzai
Bullit
History of the World
Once Upon a Time in the West

Fez, Ripzalot and Nick P. are on the right page. Some of mine are just goofy.

**Viva** · 02-16-2008, 08:40 PM

I'll stay away from foreign films. Below are a few that I really liked.

Lillys of the Field

Men in War

Battleground

In The Heat of The Night

The Third Man (Probably the best movie I've seen)

LA Stories (You need to be from here to really get it)

Time Bandits

The Devil and Miss Jones (No, not the porno, but a 50s-era comedy. Goofy, but very funny)

The Graduate

The Ox Bow Incident (On par with Twelve Angry Men mentioned earlier)

**Obstruction** · 02-16-2008, 10:32 PM

Could be a very long list but I'll stick to this week:

The Quiet Man

Little Big Man

We're No Angels

BTW - FZ dead on the money about Vanishing Point. The naked hippie chick on the motorcycle made a big impression on the twelve year old obstruction.

**mountain_man** · 02-17-2008, 05:03 AM

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

**philippeR** · 02-17-2008, 08:13 AM

I recently found an old tape of Lone Star under a pile of crap... That, as most of John Sayles, was an all time great movie.
Recently bought a box set of Edwards the Pink Panther. The PP Strikes Again is awesome. Made me laugh to tears as a kid, still delivers.

(insert french joke...)

And I recently went to see a couple of old chaplins with my son. (The gold rush and Modern Times). Timeless.

**TeleHoar** · 02-17-2008, 09:56 AM

^^Chaplin movies are great, some of my all time favorites!

I just watched again the Seven Samurai.
so I will add any Kurasawa samurai movie.

Seconded. The Criterion Edition DVD is completely worth it. Other Classics not yet mentioned:

Touch of Evil (My Favorite Film)
African Queen
Lawrence of Arabia (or any David lean movie)
The Searchers (Best John Wayne film)
The Manchurian Candidate

So good. The day I saw Ran in film school was the day I realized I'm not that talented. Then I saw Seven Samurai and it was confirmed, so I focused on Cinematography vs. Directing.

**Platinum Pete** · 02-17-2008, 09:41 PM

UHF - so classic

Yeah. She gave you one of your first boners too, huh?

The Gods Must Be Crazy - for todays comedy catagory

**Aldo** · 02-19-2008, 01:18 PM

If you've read this far and have not seen Shawshank Redemption, go take care of that right now.

Don't forget Breaking Away.

**Nanuq** · 02-19-2008, 02:11 PM

Forgot a couple:

The ogirinal "In Laws" with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, freaking funny!
Seems LIke Old Times - back when Chevy Chse was funny and Goldie Hawn was still hot

and one I remember as totally funny, but havent seen in a while (Netflix time)

Midnight Run

**Pegleg** · 02-20-2008, 03:48 PM

Hot Dog, the Movie. Truly, the crowning achievement of American Cinema.

**lionelhutz** · 02-20-2008, 05:38 PM

The Maltese Falcon. My favorite movie of all time.

Other than that all mine were taken
SFD- I totally agree 12 angry men is awesome

Whoever said Dr. Strangelove is the best movie made I have to agree...I love that movie.

and Bullit is awesome too.

**Lonnie** · 02-20-2008, 06:24 PM

Agreed. 100%.

**FrankZappa** · 02-21-2008, 03:35 PM

I mighta missed it, but no mention of any picture show starrin The Duke. Why, there was a time when that could been considered un-American.

Two that made quite an impression on me when I was a young 'un.

True Grit
The Cowboys (Bruce Dern will be forever damned for his part in that)

**BigDaddyLionfish** · 02-21-2008, 05:16 PM

Not a movie, but I caught a few episodes of Columbo the other day!

The Quiet Man has been rightfully cited.

And Stagecoach is an all time favorite of mine. But hardly forgotten.

(ie : Un-american, moi ? Take zat back)
