I'll throw up a few, and maybe they're your only choices. But go for it.

Ray [[2004)
The Shawshank Redemption [[1994)
The Natural [[1984)
Master and Commander Far side of the world. [[2003)
The Bedford Incident [[1965)
Quest for Fire [[1981)

Hopefully we can drum up a few Netflix gems.

[Zacha341]

One of those is mine:

Master and Commander Far side of the world

Others that come to mind quickly [[not in any order of importance):

Lord of War

Don't forget number 1:

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

[Zacha341]

Ahh, Bogie....

[Crumbled_pavement]

These are two of my favs, but for personal reasons. I doubt many others will see in these two movies what I see.

Pride w/ Terence Howard
The Great Debaters w/ Denzil Washington

I can't watch either of those movies enough. So much inspiration, so much strength.

[Zacha341]

Pride is an awesome movie. Grand dramatic performance by the late great Bernie Mac. I have not seen the Great Debaters. I need to add it to my netflix cue.

Yes, you should definitely see that. If you liked Pride you will like the Great Debaters as well.

Bernie Mac was an incredible actor, gone far too soon. RIP Bernie!

Wow Zacha341, thanks for the movie spillage.
I'll second "Hunt for Red October".
By the way, were Zacha 0-340 already taken?
Just want to know, for my next screen name. ; )

[Bigb23]

And I want to add " To Kill a Mocking Bird" and
" The Notorious Bettie Page" and " Blazing Saddles" [[NSFW).

And let's not forget unforgettable soundtracks, that I forgot.

[JBMcB]

Mine:
The Adventure of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eight Dimension

Laugh while you can, monkey boy!

HEAD

Whoa - that was one of my favorites as a kid. Need to dig that one up...


My list:
Goodfellas - The cinematography alone is mezmerising
Local Hero - Incredible soundtrack by Knopfler + beautiful meditative shots of Scotland
The Sting - One of my top five favorite movies - I'm a sucker for heist films
The Spanish Prisoner - I'm also a sucker for Mamet films

[Jimaz]

Sleep faster! We need the pillows [[links)!

[Zacha341]

Hah! I'll never tell...... alot of those movies listed I tend to 'listen' too more than watch at this point as I am often working late on the 'puter and what not, but some I can just watch again and again the whole movie from beginning to end.

And it's cool when you see different nuances or goofs not noticed before.

Wow Zacha341, thanks for the movie spillage.
I'll second "Hunt for Red October".

Goodfellas - The cinematography alone is mezmerising

YES! I forgot about that one. Need to dig it out.....Blazing Saddles is a classic comedy too!

"Why is there a watermelon there?" "I'll tell you later."-yeah, that's a good one.

There's a lot of golden movies in my book, but some of them are so intense, drawn out, or epic, I can only watch them once in a while. Seven Samurai being an obvious one or Princess Mononoke, Down By Law, Sorcerer, The Shining [[Kubrick-that someone made a highly presumptuous set of wild theories saying it was his "confession" to him "hoaxing the moon landing for Uncle Sam-!?!), Edward Scissorhands, or Schindler's List-which just makes me start crying.

Yet, some horror like the The 1982 Thing, the last story in Twilight Zone the movie, Evil Dead 2, or American Werewolf in London I always got time for [[love the scenarios that lead up to an "ironic stuck" moment-ie. Ash locked in the cellar with a buried corpse that rises or guys tied-up next to the Thing during the blood-test-uh-oh! Oh Nooo!.) Almost everything the Coen Bros. have done I watch again and again. Silence of the Lambs. Hot Fuzz is great because you just simply can't catch all the subtle jokes being thrown at such rapid pace, so, you have to rewatch that one. Reservoir Dogs [[I can see a stage play done about that one). The "The Misbehavers" sketch from Four Rooms [[music done by some folks I met at Zoot's). The first two Thin Man films. City of Lost Children or Delicatessen. Most Marx Bros. The ending to Cabin in the Woods [[which oddly won't show up on pay cable stations).

I've seen every Harry Potter, but I've never seen any one of them from start to finish. It has always been a viewing of a fragment here, this fragment that transpired before, this piece much later, parts in the middle, etc. Yet, while I'm not all that sick about any of them, I'll catch them from time to time.

Did you say "Head"?-as in the Monkees/Jack Nicholson film. Yeah, I can watch weird stuff like that from the sixties-ish era over and over like The Loved One, Greaser's Palace [[a young Toni Basil topless on horseback-yeeow!),the President's Analyst. or oddly enough, Clockwork Orange.

[Zacha341]

Sleep faster! We need the pillows [[links)!

[Zacha341]

Ah yes, a masterful cautionary tale on why drugs tend to make one a bit messy, feeling like a pin cushion. And why you should really think twice before stumbling into some pawn shops after a car accident......

I wonder if Zeidmans has their own version of the 'gimp' in the back room?

Pulp Fiction

[G-DDT]

Also forgot Blade Runner, Potergeist, Road Warrior, and Trading Places.

[Zacha341]

I've only seen Blade Runner 500 times...... [[reg and directors cut). It's a classic!

[JBMcB]

The Shining [[Kubrick-that someone made a highly presumptuous set of wild theories saying it was his "confession" to him "hoaxing the moon landing for Uncle Sam-!?!),

This documentary covers just about everything:

BB had such a great cast - Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin, Jeff Golfblum, Christopher Lloyd, Billy Vera

and they still owe us a sequel

[lpg]

The Blues Brothers...Love the music.
Almost everything with Bogart.
White Heat..James Cagney.
