Some good choices there;
'Dracula' said; 'American Graffiti' , a totally 'bitchin' film, great cars, marvellous soundtrack & of course Wolfman Jack
Love that 'Deuce Coupe' & Harrison Fords black '55

'Muddy Steve' said; 'Convoy'. A cinematically superb opening sequence with that black Mack R700
"Arizona, noon on the 7th of June, when they eyeballed over the pass. Bulldog Mack with a can on the back & a Jagwar haulin' Ass" :D

'Duel'; Spielbergs first film?? Great suspense film & well shot


My list;
'The Lord Of The Rings'. Everything I ever expected since I first read the books almost 25years ago. SWMBO thinks Vigor Mortensson is 'hot' :lol:
Only fault is the 'chuckle brothers' (Pippin & Merry)

'Smokey & The Bandit' (1). Burt Reynolds perfect film, self deprecating, beautiful truck (Kenworth W900) & trailer. Nice (hotted up) '78 Trans-Am. Great supporting cast; Jerry Reed & Sally Field.
A nice, for me, soundtrack (especially opening sequence)

'American Graffiti'. See above

'Batman'. Michael Keaton steals the show as a mixed up semi-psychotic Bat. And as for Nicholson as the Joker :lol:

'X-Men' (1 &2) Superb casting. Patrick Stewart as Xavier, Ian McKellan as Eric Lenscher. And the film stealer - Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
In '2', the opening 'Nightcrawler' scene is awesome.

'Waynes World'. The first(?) & best 'slacker' movie. The only good use of a Queen song :lol:  :lol: .
Tia Carrera :D  "Schwingg!!!"

'Reach For The Sky'. Inspirational. Kenneth More was great as Douglas Bader.

Blues Brothers is one of our  youngest's fav films, Spagetti Westerns, Any Dirty Harry movie

Some of the Classics too,  like The Maltese Falcon, G Men, To have and have not.

And of course ....... Casablanca

Um ... as you can tell I a hopeless film junkie :roll:  :wink:

Heres a question

 Which other film completely copied the opening sequence to Casablanca?

Is there two available then? Region 1 and Region 2  :?:


The Region 1 set is native to North America... find it to import at www.playusa.com

Your player has to be capable of handling Region 1 discs (via a mod or hack) but many of the cheaper ones play 'em straight out the box. And your TV has to NSTC compatible (the US TV system, as opposed to PAL) - again, most are.

Cheers,

Zulu was the first film I saw in the cinema.
Zulu, Dead Poets and Highlander would run my top ten pretty close.

In no particular order :


Crimson Tide  -  Gene Hackman (Ace) and Denzel Washington acting each other off the screen !

Muppet Christmas Carol - Pure Genius

Philidelphia - Superb Performances

Cool Runnings - A bit schmoltzy, but John Candy is great, and it's funny

Platoon - Dark and Powerful, some fantastic screenplay

..and pretty much any of the recent CG animated films... I'm a sucker for animation

Nice to see Animal House listed, i forgot it, "Toga Toga toga", the number of scenes from that film which stick in my mind, Belushi was great, pity he drunk himself to death.

Quote from: "Landyrover"

Almost put Band of Brothers down on the list too, but strictly speaking not a movie! :P  Fantastic though - have been rewatching the series over the last few evenings. Best on Region 1 DVD - DTS soundtrack and USA mix includes quite a few scenes that were deleted from the version shown on UK TV and on the Region 2 set. Makes a lot more sense when these are left in, as intended...

I'll take me anorak off now 8)

I would really love the DVD box set, could easily watch it again.

Is there two available then? Region 1 and Region 2  :?:


Now I'm p888ed off, we bought the box set and I havn't watched it yet.  Series was great though, my list would have to include
Duel (an early classic from a great director)
Convoy (for the wheels, not the script)
The Italian Job, staring the mini cooper
Bluse Brothers
Amarican Graffiti (spotted the theme yet?)
The french connection (come on you must have guessed)
Smokey and the bandit (now I'm giving it away)

I could go on all night but there are some films you can watch over and again just because they're good
Where eagles dare
The great escape
the dam busters

You think that's not a good film? what about the line
"what possible reason could I give the ministry to get you a Wellington, they're worth their weight in gold?"
"If you told them I designed it, might that help?"
