Ones I've not yet seen mentioned:

Megamind

How to Train Your Dragon

Commando (I like comedies)

Das Boot (the TV series, NOT the movie)

Dark Star

Alien and Aliens.

The Outlaw Joesy Wales

A Fistful of Dynamite

I Claudius (TV Series with Derek Jacobi)

Constantine

The Vampires of Havana (it's animated, very much not PG, and you will not stop laughing once. Find a dubbed version, not a subtitled one if your Spanish is bad)

Back to the Future

The first three Indiana Jones movies

Hancock (stupid but fun)

The China Syndrome (message is blah, acting superb)

Catch Me If You Can

The Lady in the Van

Seen most of these, but China Syndrome is new to me... surprised to see "Lady in the Van".. which I also found delightful. Thanks EC !

If you're including old sci-fi movies, I like Brainstorm (Natalie Wood's last movie), Final Countdown (w/Kirk Douglas), Andromeda Strain, and more recently, Limitless, Dreamcatcher, The Mist, The Thing, The 5th Wave.

For new flicks....The Shack (2017) is a good one.  Didn't think I was going to like it.  I did though.

Thanks, I really enjoyed this film... Ingrid Bergman did a great job here, she reminds me of my wife with all that pretty hair.

Again some movies I have not heard here... I will be searching them down, downloading The Treasure of the Sierra Madre right now actually. I loved "The Gods must be Crazy" too. I never did get into the movie "One Flew over the Cukoo’s Nest" though... most people liked it, but it just didn't jive with me.

Sorry if I have not gotten to everyone here, I want ya to know, I am picking your lists apart, but it will take some time. Lots of good recommendations.

Everyone who ever posted anything is 'wrong'.


The only real movie worth watching is 'The Music Man'.

Thanks 240B, I have watched it... lets just say musicals aren't my thing. No disrespect though... seems the movie is on a lot of favorite lists.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion of what you thought of the film. I think you liked it. It is not physically or psychologically possible for anyone to not like that movie.


If you continue to 'not like' the movie, then I have no choice but to consider you to be insane.


So, what will it be? Have you reconsidered your obvious 'opposition' to a great film, or have you reconsidered your aberrant opinion?

Meh. I'm not a musical fan, either, although I liked Paint Your Wagon.

I'm not too worried if one person thinks I am nuts, either...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

There was a sequel to "The Gods must be Crazy" and its pretty good as well.

How are you downloading? Inquiring minds want to know. I've had my hand slapped several times for doing P2P downloads.

Yes I enjoyed the sequel also... I even tried a few of those foreign attempts at remaking the original movie but they never quite grabbed me.

Add Collateral Beauty to my list. Its .... good. Really good.

I will give it a try, not a big Will Smith fan other than that love doctor movie he made.

If you like Sci Fi you may like Firefly (television series) and Serenity (related movie).
