tutsiwarrior Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre The Seven Samurai The Godfather 'nuff said; you don't even haveta mention actors or directors to know who they are, an' the OP only wanted the top three...

tutsiwarrior Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 am I the only one to notice?...that there are few female leads or themes in the the above discussion... is our selection of all time great movies to be disqualified on general principles as there may be no woman type influenced selection available? Are womaned themed movies and triumphant female performances to be ignored? I like Claudette Colbert, Ida Lupino, Vivien Leigh, Bette Davis and the raft of women film people from the end of WWII to the present, serious artists and not just bimbos...what of their contribution? Are we to debase ourselves by not acknowleging the woman's contribution... (I ain't no one to talk...my favorite films above ain't got no female leads...Walter Huston in Treasure when confronted by lonely pardners dreaming about pu**y out in the wild he says 'better not ta think about women...it ain't good for yer health...'

Backpack_thailand Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Sorry, I forgot to recommend something to the OP. The one necessity to have in any film collection must be two of the greatest films ever made. They are Godfather l & ll. AGREED! Outside of the above two best movies EVER, here's my three: Shawshank Redemption Pulp Fiction Jungle Book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agsnowdon Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 a quick reply as I am gonna fall asleep there are loads of great films there some I have brought and are awaiting to be aken back to uk. I recently brought from MAe Sai The Godfather box set 5 DVD in a jet black show box for a small fee of 350bht. To add to this I have never seen any of the godfathers and I mean never so this box set is actually waiting next to the dvd player to be watched here! I'm gonna do a good reply to this tomorrow as my brain is fried after a long day out in CM, but great movie I havent seen mentioned is Armageddon (spelling???)

It is almost unfathomable to me that you have not seen the Godfather movies. Good thing you bought them and intend on seeing them. Cinema at it's finest!

Cassandra Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 OK here are three from me. Apocalypse Now The Godfather Part II A State of Grace (only ever met two other people that have seen this one) Seen it, a good movie but there are better ones out there. Sean Penn is great And Gary Oldman is brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorFart Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Do you guys really rate The Godfather or are you just jumping on the 'I have no idea about Film so I'll say The Godfather is best because everyone in FHM says so' bandwagon? The Godfather is a truly ordinary film but Lads Mags like it so everyone else does..... Now, Goodfellas....that IS a film!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Since someone mentioned that there were few movies with female leads mentioned I will post three that I like (disclaimer: not to everyone's taste of course). I realize these are rather lame choices but any of my top three have been mentioned already. Sleepless in Seattle (Meg Ryan) Erin Brockovich (Julia Roberts) So Close (Qi Shui) Flight of the Phoenix (original) Hotel Rwanda Edited June 9, 2006 by tywais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexth Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I would also like to add "V for Vendetta", some would compare it to a Superman, Batman kind of movie. In fact, it's more than that, it points out the result of manipulation and chaos, I'm sure J.W. Bush hates it, the action is great and the ideea is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon...? i've seen armaggddon about 4 times and i love it. i have to hold back the tears when b.willis gives the goodbye speech to liv tylor (who is majorly hot for a farang chick!) my top films are: terminator 1 and 2 braveheart alien 1 (but 2 and 4 are good) gladitor i saw 'match point' recently which was pretty good.

SamuiJens Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 If I was you, I'd buy son concert DVD's of bands you like. Nothing better than to see a "Live" concert in the comfort of your home and will take away you blues as well. Just a good suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
