rm2551 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Groundhog Day. Special mention to Fantastic Planet. Saw it as a (approx guess) 10 year old kid and it completely blew my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It scared me shitless. It's hard to believe this film was an X certificate, you had to be 18 to see it in the Cinema, it's now a PG. Product Description Based on M R James' classic tale of terror, 'Casting the Runes', and adapted for the screen by regular Hitchcock collaborator Charles Bennett, Jacques Tourneur's (Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, Out of the Past) Night of the Demon is considered to be one of the seminal horror films of Twentieth-Century cinema.

SamoKodela Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 It's Time Machine from 1960, directed by George Pal, starring Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimieux. It's so colourful and well done and it's got some very pristine friendship, enlightening romance and beautiful idealism and many other positive ideas and philosophical ideas against war and lowest forms of human existence. I always liked such movies for their message and how hard life can be to understand and cope with and escaping your own time and trying to just help create a better world has always been an idea close to me, although it can bring hard times.

PeaceFrogYum Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It's a tough call but i have a soft spot for both Spartacus & Ben Hur. Of course the book Ben Hur was far superior, but it wold have been a six hour movie. I grew up on those great, epic movies with grand vision and scope.

I was just talking about it yesterday. The scene where Rod Taylor runs his hand through all the decayed books in the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very painful experience in that scene, best hopes diminished into minor expectations, that will carry on into a flame of new hope.

Lucky a Morlock didn't start the machine and go back in time.

LedZeppfan1977 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Who could pick one movie? I mean, seriously. Maybe The Godfather, maybe Papilion, maybe Heat, maybe Gone with the Wind, and The Wizard of Oz. Oh yeah. For tonight, maybe "8 Men Out". Base hit Nats.

1975NQ Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) I have too many, but I'll try and make as short a list as I can: Eyes Wide Shut - words don't do it justice The Shining - subliminal head-fuckery, genius, people think Nicholson is over the top here but really he's acting his ass off Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - hugely underrated, every frame is beautiful, everyone involved brought their A game GlenGarry Glen Ross - modern Shakespeare, never gets old. I can watch this in any mood, any time, it's hugely comforting for some reason Miller's Crossing - just watch it lol Excalibur - what magic really looks like, no cgi anywhere. plus Helen Mirren Spy Game - hugely underrated Tony Scott film, his best easily. unbelievable directing and production, Redford at his best High Sierra - my fav Bogie movie Appaloosa - my fav western, Ed Harris made a classic here A Deadly Affair - James Mason as Smiley, perfect! Murder By Decree - best Sherlock movie, James Mason is great as Watson ("you squashed my pea") Becket - Peter O'Toole as an English rock star before there were English rock stars.i'll bet this movie was a fav of Jimmy's back in the day Edited December 5, 2021 by 1975NQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
