Good movies?

--- Quote from: shibboleth ---Thanks for all the movie listings. I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre one time. I had trouble sleeping for a week and the images took forever to leave my brain. It is based on a man named Ed Gein who killed women and dismembered him in his home. Psyco is based on Ed Gein and Silence of the Lambs too.

The original TCM does not show much violence. Just like Psycho, they both just work on imagination. In part it is why most scary movies today are not as scary, they show to much. They just do not stimulate the imagination, and there for are less scary.
--- Quote ---I also love Alfred Hitchcock movies. Have you seen The Rope? That's a suspensful one and it takes place in one setting.
My favorite funny movie is It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. The skits are hilarious.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World is one of the funnest movies ever. it has to be on my top ten list.

--- Quote ---I read Where the Fern Grows as an adult. I was told it was a real tear jerker. It didn't get sad until the end and I bawled my eyes out. I don't think I saw the movie, so I will try to find it at the video store.
I saw Shawshank Redeption many times and I can't think of any of the characters names. Having a senior moment, only they last all year.

--- Quote from: gmik ---I can watch Foul Play with Goldi Hawn & Chevy Chase over and over.
National Lampoon's Christmas is a favorite as is Elf and the one with the BB gun.
Haven't been to the movies in ages. But I do like "Chick Flicks"-light hearted romantic comedies. I hate things like Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers! Gross!

if you like Chick flicks watch All about Eve. it is easily the greatest chick flick ever.

Ahh, The Rope! That was a good one Shibb :D . Most of my favorites are from the 70's on up, but that reminded me of another Jimmy Stewart film...Shiloh. I was a civil war buff years ago so I love that movie too. Hmm let me think up some old movies my mom used to watch...
Shiloh
Spencer's Mountain
About any Lee Marvin flick (Paint your wagon, The Dirty Dozen)
Von Ryan's express
Rooster Cogburn
A Man Called Horse
Anything written by Truman Capote
What was the one with the big pink submarine starring Henry Fonda?
more than I can name really...
There was one that I can't remember the name of...it starred Dustin Hoffman as a guy who was captured by Cheyanne or maybe Souix indians and was basically raised within the tribe. I specifically remember the name "Little Bear" involved. I think General Custer was involved too, but not sure because it's been so long. Anyone have a clue?
Right now, I am watching "Lady and the Tramp" :D

Hi all-------
sci-fi,fantasy,adventure and westerns I like stories of good vs evil especially if the guys in the white hats win.
Man vs nature--castaway,the perfect storm,twister
I like the comicbook films--batman,spiderman etc.
John Wayne,Clint Eastwood --- cowboy films
three of my all time favourites----Jaws(the Brody,quint,hooper interactions),Oh Brother where art thou?(wonderfully funny and the music was great),The outlaw Josey Wales(Cheif Dan George stole the glory in this film)
I find the older I get that films like music take on a sense of nastalgia.A movie really can be less then great but it can get identified with a good time in my life and gain a star or two in the ratings.My daughter (she is 16 now) was a very fussy baby.Who framed Rodger rabbitt will always remain dear to my heart cause I could pop the tape in the vcr and lay the baby on a blanket in front of the tv and rodger could stop those whiney tears and she would be giggling and cooing in about a minute flat.
The drive in was playing ET the first time I kissed the woman who would become that whiney babies(and four others)momma so that ugly little alien is also a favourite of mine.
World war 2 films----my father landed at Normandy and was wounded in france I remember watching these films with him,the stories he told of lost friends and praying in foxholes(I think he found his faith there among falling bombs and flying bullets)he took two in the back and one in the face but he came home with alot more than he lost.He is passed on now along with mom but I will see them again one day.
I saved the best for last----The Passion of Christ --- I watch this film and realise that NO ONE loves me like He does.
much love---------knuckle
