I was wondering what sort of films the members enjoy due to complete garbage being produced by Hollywood these days.
2 classic's I watched lately was the The French Connection(Gene Hackman great actor) and Unforgiven(Eastwood and Freeman) another brilliant film especially Clint Eastwood.
Watched Platoon with Charlie Sheen and numerous other good actors last night and another Classic film and great one track soundtrack.
Any obscure films that anyone have seen that are brilliant??

I love the old espionage films, especially Frederick Forsyth. The day of the jackal,The Odessa file and The fourth protocol. If you liked The french connection you will love these oldies. There is a fantastic recent film called the warriors way which is a martial arts(samurai)/country and western style film that has some of the best cinematography you will ever see, it is a tale of dual revenge set in the wild west.

Once upon a time in america is a great shout.
Gettysburg & Gods and Generals are great films but require plenty of stamina. Kelly's Heroes is worth watching and has a catchy theme tune. Kingdom of Heaven is well worth watching as well imo. |

super troopers - roll up a fat one and laugh your head off city of god - one of the best films of all time and worth watching in brazilian with subtitles just to hear the accents. |

Can anyone recommend a good Rom-Com?
|
|
By:
I remember watching City of God that was a very good film.
About to watch The Longest Day 1962 about WW2. Massive fan of Dicaprio, thought his performance in Shutter Island was Sublime also that Inception film was excellent if not hard to follow. Thought the remake of The Girl with The Dragon Tatoo to bring it to current day was the best film out since the above DiCaprio acts. Really looking forward to Lincoln now at Xmas time with Daniel Day |

By:
ruby,agree with you on dicaprio . thought he was brilliant in blood diamond. after seeing titanic i thought he was a young lad that might soon be forgotten and hard to take seriously as an actor, but how wrong i was about him. superb .

Itcanbedone,instead of a rom-com maybe "Man of Fire",the ould doll will be bawling her eyes out and very watchable.
Oh brother where art thou?,Scarface,The butterfly effect found fairly good,not too into films though. |
|
By:
Completely agree re Blood Diamond, Catch me if you can was another brilliant effort, forgot about The Departed and also Gangs of New York.
Few Films coming out soon with him, His latest J Edgar I heard was poor enough but Eastwood went a bit wierd on that one. |

For the greyhound men on here have a look at the film THE BLUE LAMP and the scene at the greyhound races,huge crowds and loads of bookies.

The film "Secretariat" was an ok horsey film, but not nearly as good as the book of the same name, and I would certainly regard this book "Secretariat" as probably the best racing story I've ever read............
Forest Gump is a film for all ages at all times, and great to put you in good humour, Tom Hanks .... brilliant.... |

No menton of Spartacus, or The Searchers.
Fairplay to Newmanix, The Odessa File and The Day of the Jackel ( not the Bruce Willis remake)both great films. Also Young Dr ( what great knockers, help me with the bags, wait till the end glows) , and The Marathon Man (is it safe) both great films. Got to admit i love the Die Hard films and the Bourne films.Born Free being my favourite. |
|
By:
The Bourne trilogy must be the most watched of films over last 20 years .
Recent productions I have enjoyed are , No Country for Old Men The Departed Mystic River ( but its a bit dark ) Blindside is a feel good film Watched War Horse last night , good for family audience . Plus a few I cant recall , have to do a library look up . Have the Descendants and The Artist still to see , update later . |
