Last Action Hero needs to be higher!

Used to watch the shit out of that when I was younger.

Yes. You're the only one.

that movie has grown on me over the years. Its a little better than it was given credit for. It flopped and im not sure audiences were ready for a cynical/parody of action movies at the time.

I haven't seen it in years. But I always made an effort to see it when it was on.

I always enjoyed it too.

Conan has no redeeming qualities? really? it has its flaws but come on. you didn't like the score by Basil Poledouris?

End of days is just cool for the artistry with which the film was made.

The original Conan was directed by John Milius. The screenplay was written by Oliver Stone, a straight, unwaivering revenge story. It was beautifully shot, had high production values. They used actually quality Spanish swords instead of tin foil Hollywood props. The score by (Kansas City native) Basil Poledouris is one of the best in motion picture history. Much like Star Wars, the weaker principal performances were bolstered by talented supporting cast members, like James Earl Jones and Max Von Sydow. Do you really need an Oscar-caliber actor to play a pissed-off avenging barbarian? NO. Was it cheesy? Sure, but no more so that other Schwarzenegger films like Commando. It's not his worse movie - it's one of his best. It is far and away my favorite Arnie movie, and the only ones I'd acknowledge as being better overall films are Terminator, Terminator 2 and Predator.

And if you don't think so, and especially if you think it's worse than shit like the second Conan, Red Sonja or Batman and Robin, which were all absolutely horrific, you're ****ing reeruned.

THIS.

That list sucks predator balls.

Definitely one of his best serious acting roles.

This.

Ever seen the reboot from a year or two ago? IM tempted, but heard it sucks.

Wow, yes, you most certainly are the only one. Not only that, I now brand you village idiot for life. NO REDEMPTION.

They flat out do not score films like Basil Poledouris used to do it anymore.

It's a dead art. He's also dead.

I love his scores for Conan, Robocop, The Hunt for Red October and Starship Troopers. In fact his score for ST might be the best part of that film.

It's incredibly bad. The opening scene is pretty funny though. Conan's mother and father are fighting in a battle. It's an every day kind of battle and the movie doesn't explain why they are there. Conan's mother is pregnant with Conan and is nearly due while she is fighting so she is a bit hampered. She gets herself cut up and she is going to die from bleeding out. Conan's father wants that baby though. He performs an emergency C-section with a very broad knife. He doesn't look away from his wife's eyes while he does it, he just pulls out a large blade and quickly stabs his wife in the vag then, saws her open. then the father reaches in and pulls Conan out. (he did all that and never looked down to see where he was cutting/stabbing) Once he pulls Conan out, the father holds Conan over his head to expose him to the elements so he will toughen up. Baby Conan and his loving dad then let out a battle cry, together.

that's fairly nonsensical but it's not the worst part of that movie.

ROFL

I have to watch this now.

LMAO Yeah.. Pretty bad.

I thought the "born of battle" line was pretty cool though.
