Papillon was a classic!

Sure was Jack.Dont let the B####### get you down,and if they do,get straight back up again. :o

Another couple of classics in the same vane - incarceration scenario - Rossiok, are: The Birdman of Alcatraz (Burt Lancaster) and, of course, Escape from Alcatraz.

On the theme of Eastwood; The Good, Bad, and Ugly was a classic, too.

Yep, I chucked in Zoolander myself, nowhere near the best 10 movies of all time, but cracks me up everytime I watch it. :o

'The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes' had some very funny bits in it, but it' used to be rated the worst film ever made. I wonder what people think about it now? The worst film I've ever seen was 'Tribute to a Bad man' yet a lot of people liked that.

I was going to say that Green Berets was John Waynes worst film (tepid US propaganda pap), but then thought of him as Gengis Khan (55555555).

Favourite John Wayne movies, Stage-coach, True Grit and The Shootist.

Not only was it a crap film, but it was awarded Oscar's that should, if quality really was a condition for winning them, have been given to LA CONFIDENTIAL.

i never liked that movie.... but i have always felt that it had contributed a lot in vfx... and some wonderful cinematography...

Book was good for it, but I hope if they make another Elroy movie they do the American Tabloid.

Guy Pearce was good in it though, from Mike in Neighbours he went to do some great movies, Memento, LA Confidential and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, all good stuff.

And why Titanic was never listed??? any idea?

Because it was a crap film?

TM: Not only was it a crap film, but it was awarded Oscar's that should, if quality really was a condition for winning them, have been given to LA CONFIDENTIAL.

I actually Agree with you, ol´chap. :D

It wasn't so much the movie SoM but the event. We saw it at an evening showing at The Crest theatre which was smack dap downtown. The Crest had a huge neon lit marque that would flash sequentially. It sat on the street all the kids would cruise in their cars. There were hot rods and street racers w/ custom paint jobs. The cars that would pass by as we waited in line would reflect the marque sign. All very cool.

We saw the "Battle of the Bulge" at The Crest also.
