Here We Go
The Hills Have eyes (original)
High Plains Drifter
Hotel Rwanda
Heavenly Creatures
How green was My Valley
Hobson’s choice (Lawton)
Halloween
How the West was Won
Hell is for Heroes
Henry V (Olivier OR Branagh)
“The Haunting” should have been on the list. One of the best scary movies of all time. “His Girl Friday”, too, although I admit I’m an unreasonable fan of Rosalind Russell. I love any movie she’s in.
BTW, it's not in Mcqueens biography by Christopher Sandford (good read)
Keep smiling,
Philip
Harvey
High Times At Ridgemont High
The High And The Mighty
Helter Skelter
Hang ‘em High
Harold And Maude
I’ll second Hud, The Hustler, and High Noon as contenders, and add the Preston Sturges comedy Hail the Conquering Hero.
That's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" -- another egregious oversight from the "F" thread. (Freaky Friday - Lohan version - indeed!)
High Anxiety
Happy Gilmore
Hondo
Hellfighters
Hancock?
I did like the first couple of Harry Potter movies.
Why not? Works for me.
HIGH & LOW: One of the greatest detective films of all time, and almost no one in America has heard of it (Japan 1963, Kurosawa)
HARAKIRI: Great story of revenge over a ritual suicide (Japan 1961, Kobayashi)
THE HIDDEN FORTRESS: A military officer and two bumbling peasants rescue the lovely Princess Yuki. This was the inspiration for Star Wars (Japan 1957, Kurosawa)
THE HIDDEN BLADE: A samurai must make a moral choice when ordered to kill a rebellious friend, while earning the love of the beautiful servant girl Kie (Japan 2006, Yamada)
HERO: An assassin devises a complicated plot to kill the powerful King of Qin (China 2003, Zhang)
HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS: Two officers track down a beautiful blind rebel girl (China 2005, Zhang)
See my Freeper page for candidates for upcoming alphabetical lists! :-)
Hunt for Red October
You are correct to mention Asian Cinema, of which has made some excellent inroads in the last decade after being “held back” by martial Arts movies for sooo long.
Internal Affairs 1-3, plus Old Boy come to mind straight away.
The Thanksgiving porno classic - HUMPKIN PIE!!
Although not quite up to “Howard the Duck” standards, Heaven’s Gate was supposed to be a big budget blockbuster.
Oh, and don’t forget “Hello, Dolly!”
Bronson and Coburn were the guest stars, McQueen was never on it. Other guest actors were James Caan, Telly Savalas, Lee Marvin, Mike Kellin, Sal Mineo, Mickey Rooney, Tom Tryon, Richard Jaekel, Richard Basehart, Jeff Chandler, Tab Hunter.....
Really good stuff.
I managed to track down a VHS version of this movie many years ago, and though long and drawn out, there are 2/3 scenes which I thought were classics, the best being the Ice Skating scene if my memory serves me well.
Although I still have the Cassette, I no longer own a VCR, so I can't double check.
Oh, yes, Hud for sure. It so captured the era.
