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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lampard10 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Yep, I chucked in Zoolander myself, nowhere near the best 10 movies of all time, but cracks me up everytime I watch it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> '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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Burr Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkmadness Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 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.

aughie Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I forgot fewSound of Music The Sting Big Fish Edward Scissorhands And why Titanic was never listed??? any idea? The Sound Of Music..... oh the memories totster 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.
