Yeah, I did, along with Where Eagles Dare.

Journey To The Centre Of The Earth with James Mason was another classic as was The Land That Time Forgot with Doug McClure. On the James Mason theme, anyone ever see Salems Lot back in the late '70s? Made for TV as a two-parter but there was also a shortened movie version. Scared the sh1t out of me when I was a toddler

Eyes Wide Shut

Vanilla Sky/Open your Eyes (can't remember the title in Spanish)

The Last Samurai

The Butterfly Effect

Blade 1

The Twilight Samurai

Interview with a Vampire

[Ikky Plush]

Not forgetting 'Predator'.

[Ikky Plush]

Eyes Wide Shut was a good movie. It's strange (no pun intended) to say it, but they don't make them like that anyumore. Stanley Kubrick  presented a minimal amount of story and then maintained a tremendous amount of suspense. Not many directors have the guts to try and pull it off when a movie costs in the 10s of millions and a flop can sour financers on the idea of investing again.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Absolutely spot on Aughie! You're the first person I've heard say this about this brilliant film. I was glued to the TV when I first watched it.

[TRIPxCORE]

How could I have forgotten "The Blues Brothers"? One of my all-time faves!

"We're on a mission from God"

Did you really? I thought that movie was pure trash. It was too farfetched and predictable for me.

One that I forgot to mention: the film with Billybob Thornton as a retarded guy that befriends a kid - what's the name of it?

*Slingblade - Thornton is incredibly talented.

And I forgot: Cinema Paradiso

I'm very sorry... *All right*, you're sorrier than I am, but I am as sorry as well... I am as sorry as you are, Dmitri! Don't say that you're more sorry than I am, because I'm capable of being just as sorry as you are... So we're both sorry, all right?... All right.

er.... Sorry

[dr_strangelove]

I saw it a while back.  That street humiliation scene is brutal.

I think bellucci asked for that scene.. she often pick that kinda role with public humiliation...But It was very much ok compared to her rape scene in "irreversable"...

[kayo]

very much agreed with dr. strangelove..

Monica Bellucci takes on very challenging roles, but that scene in irreversible is just breathtaking and spine wrenching.
