the montainmen (Brien Keith,Charleton Heston as 1800'sfree trappers)
The outlaw josey wales...(Clint Eastwood)
the worlds fastest indian (anthony hopkins)
Where eagles dare( richard burton/clint eastwood)
as oss operatives in wwII.
apocalypse now
The star trek movie with the whales in it...
bladerunner(got the remastered directors cut recently)
lots more that escape me at midnight...

 

That would be #4 "The Voyage Home". I've got everything Trek, but it's never something I recommend. Either your a Trekker or you're not.

Is there anything new and worthwhile on that dvd? I'm wondering if an upgrade is in order.

 

Clear Aluminum... yes, that was Scotty

Trekkie vs. Trekker.... There is a big division in the uber-nerd ranks over this. Accepted term now for a fan that still has his mental stability is "Trekker".

 

Some overlooked good ones

We were Soldiers
Big Jake
Dirty Harry
Death Hunt
The Ostermen Weekend
The Horse Soldiers
The Fantastic Four I and II
Bad Moon
Arthur
Pale Rider
Kelly's Hero's
Heartbreak Ridge
The Shadow Conspiracy "Best movie Charlie Sheen ever made"
Sharky's Machine "Burt Rynolds"
Flight of the Intruder
Off Limits
Blind Fury "Ritger Hauer"
Wanted Dead or Alive

Just to name a few of my favorites .

 

Being There....Peter Sellers

 

Its gotta nice extra features "making of" disc, I am anxious to see it on a big lcd tv...I think they "kicked up" the"richness" of the images a notch...I like it...but I've had a "replicant" on order for a longtime...

 

oh yeah:
Sincity (over the top "graphic novel")
V for vendetta( ditto)
children of men.... they keep coming to me.

 

Depending upon one's view about downloading (I pay for HBO, SHO, MAX & TMC so I don't feel like I'm ripping anyone off), use imdb to get a brief overview of a movie, then a program like Bitlord to download and view.

 

RONIN

 

Charlie Wilson's War....Tom Hanks

 

I was at The Biltmore House when they were filming that...Got to meet Mr Sellers...He's a freaking riot...and a gentleman...

 

That is my all-time favorite movie. That was Peter Sellers last movie before he passed away. No Pink Panthers here
