[Nightfyre]

I want a list of great movies so I can fill my 250 gig external.

So give me movie recommendations now please.

[Fire Me Boy!]

250GB? That's nothing... I've got two of those (plus my 120GB system drive), not to mention 1.5GB DDR RAM... course, I'm a video editor, so I need all that crap.



Anyway... here's a few.

Godfather 1 & 2
Vertigo
Scent of a Woman
The Usual Suspects
Superman 1 & 2
Citizen Kane
LOTR Trilogy
Johnny Carson Collection
Singin' in the Rain
Rear Window

Scarface
NFL Films' Superbowl 4

Foreign films...
Samurai 1, 2, & 3
Anything by Akira Kurosawa
Rules of the Game (thanks to Miles)

Fyre, what are you planning to do? Go hog wild on bittorrent with DVD rips?

[Miles]

If anyone recomends Videodrome, kick them squah inna' nuts...

I kind of liked that one. But i like warped f*cked up movies. Hardly Cronenbergs best though. I liked Naked Lunch and Dead Ringers far more.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Pacino fan, anyone? BTW Carlito's Way is an excellent Pacino flick.
HUGE Pacino fan... own everything he's ever done... including his 2-minute scene in "Me, Natalie" and... yes... I admit... Gigli.

My best man at my wedding even made reference to my "unhealthy obsession with Al Pacino..." The man craps gold, if you ask me.

In related news, I think I'm going to make my wife go with me to The Tivoli tonight to see "The Merchant of Venice" (which has Pacino as Shylock).

Open huh? I'll have to remember that next time a guy wants to watch a chick flick. I won't think he's gay, I'll think he's wanting me to be "open".

Goodfellas hasn't been mentioned. I just saw it for the first time the other day. Last 3/4ths, anyway.

Guilty pleasures, I know. ROFL

[Fire Me Boy!]

Here's the list I've had luck with... not all of them are "chick flicks" but they qualify, because they're more romantic comedy. Now, my wife is easy... she gets horny when we play Madden together (something about the competition). I'm good at Madden... I didn't use to be.

Casablanca (not sure why, it's not really a love story)
French Kiss
Notting Hill
Runaway Bride
Pretty Woman
Sleepless in Seattle

turns out that pastes the movies into the file... really lags my laptop..

I will have to heartily disagree with you. Ennio Morricone is good but John William's credentials are a mile long and for a period of about twenty years he consistently kicked ass. Seems lately he's been going downhill a bit, though. I suppose one only has so many compositions in oneself, though.

I will say this much...I'd rather listen to something scored by Howard Shore or David Arnold that anything done by Johnny in the last 10 years.

Okay, here are a few from my collection:

13 Going on 30
Armageddon (I bawled at the end)
Pearl Harbor (bawled even harder at the end)

You might be able to drag and drop the files in a Nero project (or whatever you use to burn CDs) and print a list that way... not sure. It'd be worth a shot.

Did you see the one with him fighting dragons? I forget the name of it. . .he SUCKED in that one.

[Miles]

I will have to heartily disagree with you. Ennio Morricone is good but John William's credentials are a mile long and for a period of about twenty years he consistently kicked ass. Seems lately he's been going downhill a bit, though. I suppose one only has so many compositions in oneself, though.

I will say this much...I'd rather listen to something scored by Howard Shore or David Arnold that anything done by Johnny in the last 10 years.

Williams definitly has a greater body of work (most of which is damn good) and more well know scores. Just that i enjoy Morricone's work more is all. Good the bad and the Ugly is is most famous score but some of his better ones are from less mainstreem movies like cinema paradiso and once upon a time in the west/america.

IMO Williams and Morricone are the two best composers in movie history.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Is that on your computer or on actual DVD?

I should post mine one of these days, but it will be a PDF file -- I have 800+ DVDs and 400+ VHS, and about 30 each LaserDisk and BETA.

[Hammock Parties]

Did you see the one with him fighting dragons? I forget the name of it. . .he SUCKED in that one.

Haha..I actually enjoyed his character in that one.

I'm a sucker for monster movies..and there hadn't been a decent dragon movie out of hollywood in some time.

I saw it on the same premise that I saw the shitfests of the Jurassic Park sequels...dinosaurs doin' stuff.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Did you see the one with him fighting dragons? I forget the name of it. . .he SUCKED in that one.
Now see... here's how I'd rewrite that sentence.

Also, did you notice that his teeth were still pearly white in that movie?

Have you heard many of Morricone's scores outside of the dollars trilogy?

[Hammock Parties]

did he steal peoples stuff?

Shut up.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I haven't downloaded any... I collect the box art as well as the movie. It takes up most of a wall in a room -- although, it's quite neat to look at. You walk into my movie room (which is my edit bay/spare bedroom) and there's all this movie stuff, including autographs from Brando, Jimmy Stewart, Pacino, Connery, and others, movie posters, and a WALL of movies... it's pretty cool for a movie nerd.

Speaking of autographs, for Christmas last year, my wife bought me an 8x10 print of one of The Godfather posters, with the entire cast having signed it -- everybody. There's like 12 sigs on it, from Pacino, Brando, Duvall, Keaton, et al. It's friggin awesome and has a certificate of authenticity from a big autograph house in LA.

[Miles]

Shut up.

Stop collaborate and listen...

[Hammock Parties]

Have you heard many of Morricone's scores outside of the dollars trilogy?

Yeah. Quite frankly it gets a little repetetive for me. I listened to some other stuff and I was like, "eh, I'll just stick with the dollars trilogy."

Seeing that you have Red Dragon on your list I'd suggest getting Manhunter,it was actually the first of the series with William Peterson (CSI) as Will Graham,Tom Noonan as The Tooth Fairy and Brian Cox as Hannibal.

It was directed by Michael Mann and although it doesn't follow Harris' novel as close as Red Dragon imo it's still the far better of the two.

[luv]

Just a couple of highly quotable movies. . .

Oscar - with Sylvester Stallone (he should stay away from comedies)
Nepolean Dynamite - loved this flick

Several other quotable movies on your list, just two that I didn't see on there that came to mind.

I have both on DVD, and while they're both excellent, I like Red Dragon better - if for no other reason than the opening where it shows how Hannibal was captured.

[Gaz]

Edward Norton cannot portray the fragile, broken Graham. He is too young and not nearly worn enough. As much as I like Hopkins, his Lector did not make up for Norton’s Graham.

I thought Manhunter was up there with "The Thin Red Line" when it comes to crappy films.

But, I will say right out that "Red Dragon" wasn't nearly as good as it should have been with that cast and that story. Brett Ratner just isn't very good...

My first thought was, "I don't even want to open this post."
The second thing was, "I spelled the first 'thinking' incorrectly."

I thought they both did fine jobs.

If you like Petersen, you should check out To Live and Die in L.A., another 80's era movie. That's out on DVD now as well.

“To Live and Die in L.A.” is an underrated film. I saw it because Friedkin was the Director. It fell short of “The French Connection,” but was a good flick.

Noises Off,a most excellent comedy and Nicollette Sheridan's wardrobe....ayi yi yi.

Speaking of John Carpenter I found the original Assault On Precinct 13(1976) in the $5 bargain bin and snatched it up.Watched it again last night,a true cult classic.

“Assault on Precinct 13” has been on IFC [no commercials] a few times.
