I love Studio Ghibli animes.

I have so many movies that I rarely have time to watch any of them more than once. Exceptions are Blade Runner (original) and The Matrix (first one only). There are a few others I would watch again if I had the time.

Expand  

I also have too many DVDs to watch before I pass ( only $1 or $2 at op shops ) and had to make the decision whether to watch my favourite animes again and again and again, or watch an unseen DVD movie, So far the anime's are winning.

I loved the first Alien movie. Watched all the rest, but they were never as good after Weaver became too pervasive. The last one Weaver in was IMO <deleted>.

Glengarry was another good one. Lot of cursing but realistic. Seeing Lemmon that way and remembering him in the Odd Couple as a completely different actor is eye opening, with Grumpy Old Men being sorta in the middle.

Number 3 would be Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman).

Expand  

You surprise me, with a name like Britman.  The scene where Hackman opens a can a whoopazz on Richard Harris (English Bob) I think is why they gave Clint the Oscar.  At least he didn't get to sing that damned song about a cake in a park in the rain.

Apocalypse Now

Man Who Would be King

Rumblefish

Stray Dog : Japanese post-war film noir, 1949.  Kurosawa (directed the samurai movies) and a young Mifune.

Summer of 1968, I was working as an usher in a theatre.  The Odd Couple played for 14 weeks straight (it would have run longer but they had already agreed to open another movie).  If I never see or hear him again . . .

A few years later he won an Oscar, but I just couldn't take him seriously as an actor.

Lemmon was actually one of the best actors of his time. I don't put anyone on a pedestal, including actors and sports figures. They are good at what they do, period. He was a good actor. You'd have to see him in more than the Odd Couple to understand what he was.

Interstellar

Expand  

I watched the movie after I heard the soundtrack.

I love the soundtrack.

The movie is ok, but I think all in all it doesn't make much sense (even if we would assume the technology is accurate).

Crikey , I thought everyone here was a fogy? Where are the classics, Gone With The Wind, Casablanca etc..

Expand  

At 73, I am most assuredly a “fogy”.  This does not preclude discovery and appreciation of newer material. Waters, Tarantino etc, are all part of my collection.

Posted

1. Deja Vu (Denzel Washington)

2. Seven pounds (Will Smith)

3. Man on fire (Denzel Washington)

 

Honourable mentions:

1. We bought a zoo (Matt Damon)

2. The Equalizer (Denzel Washington)

 

Favourite actor? Yep, you guessed it.

Far too many great movies to keep to the limit of three but some near the top of my list are:-

 

French Connection

Highlander

Live and Let Die

Midnight Run

300

This is Spinal Tap
