I don't think there is a movie mentioned here that wouldn't be worth seeking out to watch again. But none are new movies. These movies had story, plot, direction, and acting. Not special effects to carry them.

 

you obviously have never watched sharknado

 

Ya. I hate to admit it but in a weak moment I have watched a couple of the "Sharknado" films. And I did chuckle (quietly). To get back to the subject of this site. With the technology available today, why hasn't anyone made a faithful "Lucifer's Hammer" ?

 

I thought Avatar was a gorgeous movie... the graphics were amazing.

As a side note.... the list says "favorite movies" not... lets comment on everyone else's movies. Hint Hint If you dont like a movie listed. No need to make a comment just move on.

Has anyone seen the movie "Paul"? About an et trying to get home. Beer, road trip, cannabis, shotgun totin' redneck, M.I.B. (both good guys and bad), language, implied sex. Funny. IMHO.
.

 

Very funny, actually. Really pokes fun at a lot of different things, including the Little Green Men movies...





In case you missed it....

 

The first time only saw part of it. Took two or three times to catch the beginning. Is there any cliché they missed? Very funny in an irreverent way.

 

mainly horror films, anything by George Romero is at the top

 

Good movie. Two thumbs.

 

I keep thinking of more movies I like. One is "The Tin Star" Henry Fonda, Betsy Palmer, Anthony Perkins, John McIntire, Lee Van Cleef, Neville Brand. Fonda is a bounty hunter. Shows Perkins the ropes. Wins Palmer in the end. Another is "Battle Ground" 101st surrounded in Bastogne. Wins through in the end. Van Johnson, John Hodiak, Marshal Thomsen, James Arness, James Whitmore, Ricardo Montalban. Common thread, both are a relatively small groups of individuals striving against, and overcoming, seemingly impossible odds. "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" Great morale movie. Made not even a year after Pear Harbor was bombed. Falls into the same common thread. "Back to Bataan" , "Air Force", "Destination Burma" Same.
