Favourite films - and why.

[User00025]

Zulu, because I empathise with TAKING THE KNEE, front row for me.
Kelly's Heroes, superb Donald Sutherland.
Dances with wolves, The ghost & the darkness, both excellent stories and acting.

Zulus been mentioned before but I’ll have to put in a vote for that film myself. Amazing story, only made more amazing as it’s true.

As an aside, I also like the opening scenes of Gladiator for their similarity to Zulu......

Quiet Man

oh bugger.....yep great film

Jeremiah Johnson, mostly for the scenery and fantastic quotes.
Another that has good memories for me is The Big Lebowski. I first saw that film in a small cinema in Copenhagen. Those familiar with the film will know that the main character likes to drink White Russian cocktails and does so frequently. Every time he sipped a new one the film was stopped and ladies on roller skates dressed as vikings came down the aisle and served everyone with a cocktail, and it started again when everyone had finished. Obviously the film got funnier and funnier, and the whole evening became slightly surreal.

Yes and I even worked for them twice.
The nicest roller was not one newbie out on the assembly line but displayed in the foyer around about a 1948 model if I remember rightly.

Yes, Gladiator would be up there for me. A man of integrity and loyalty, who wouldn't forgo his values no matter the cost.

Heat, was another one I really enjoyed.

Fight Club

Blackhawk Down

Lock,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Pretty much anything with Denzel Washington in it.

All of the Bourne series, good fast pace action.

Low brow leave your brain at the door stuff...

Deadpool,surprisingly funny.

John Wick, the first one was probably the best of the bunch

Reminds me of a story of a Rolls Royce owner in South Africa. (Could even be true). His back axle broke. He tried to find one in country but couldn't, so he ordered one from England. In due course it came and he had it fitted and all was well. But he didn't get a bill for the axle. So eventually he 'phoned them up in the UK and explained. The reply was: "I'm sorry Sir, you must be mistaken. Rolls Royce axles simply don't break".

The Ghost In The Darkness ....if you haven't seen it you should.

That was worth staying up for.
Beautiful.

 

[NP435]

Hard to do as a single movie type or actor. Almost anything with John Wayne in the cowboy/gunfighter role. All of the so called spaghettie westerns of Clint Eastwood.
Mini series The Pacific. And the original Lonesome Dove.
