since you dabled in F1....Grand Prix with james gardner is fun. The 1969 f1 season is probably the most famous season

Are you gonna post your "siskel and ebert" thoughts after you watch these movies?

You guys nailed most of the ones I like.


Bridge on the River Kwai

Seven Year itch

The King and I

Rebel Without a Cause (probably already mentioned but great flick)

North by Northwest

Psycho

TGTBATU

Dr. Strangelove

The Wild Bunch

Night of the Living Dead

Yohimbo

Manchurian Candidate

Midnight Cowboy

The Hustler

Already saw Great Escape (one of my all time favorites) and Sergeant York on here, I'd add Guns of Naverone to the list.

For epics go with Ben Hur and Gone With the Wind

Comedy - Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, Arsenic and Old Lace, Harvey, We're No Angels, Philadelphia Story

Hitchcock - North by Northwest, Rear Window, basically anything with Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant in the lead

Others - Pride of the Yankees, Casablanca, African Queen, Best Years of Our Lives, 12 Angry Men

If yer' a Paul Newman fan Hud and Cool Hand Luke are must watches. Now that I type this I might watch them again this weekend since we're not playing.

And The Hustler, of course. The Sting too, although that may not be old enough.

Just finished American Underdog, the Kurt Warner movie from 2021

Wow, absolutely could NOT be more impressed... cast, chemistry, dialogue, revolutionary football scene camera work, an emotionally intense and believable love story

I recall the trailers looking baaad, like made for tv quality and so I had no interest, but randomly chose it off on demand tonight

Zachary Levi brought forth an incredibly authentic everyman, dude is superb. This guy is capable of so much more than Shazam, some of his deep emotional scenes with Paquin reeeally hit home

Kurt Warner was apparently on the balls of his ass, just rock bottom barely getting by with Brenda and his newly adopted kids... this movie does such a great job of showing just what a struggle it was for him

Anna Paquin is excellent as well, she displays real nuance... but isn't even as pretty as the real Brenda Warner

Quaid as Vermeil was AT LEAST 8 of 10, very good

And all of the other unknown cast were shockingly solid as well, this was just genuine under the radar GEM

The football scenes were legit, the best I've ever seen in a football movie

Oh and I also totally forgot that his very first game as a Ram was against that dreaded and PRIME Ravens defense... and he actually won, just wow
