The last one got the shaft in 2001 because of it's bio-terrorism plot and images of the WTC after 911 and wasn't shown in the US until 2003. It is as visually stunning and fast paced as anything Live action. Actually a Live action one is scheduled for production in 2011 with Keanu Reeves. Maybe by then we will have forgotten about his remake of The Day the Earth stood still (the Original should be on this list).
Best bazookas ever!
Thanks for the pic... Should have been best picture of the year but it was up against Lawrence of Arabia.
Keeping with your movies, what about “Becket”
But this list is crap since it dont have “Roadhouse” or “Red Dawn”
I was never much of a Burton fan, and while I think that Peter O'Toole's Henry II in "Lion in Winter" is better than his Henry II in "Beckett" I'll concede that "Beckett" is the more watchable movie of the two. Still, "Lion in Winter" has Hepburn, who's fantastic. And Paul Scofield's performance of Sir Thomas More is without peer.
All three of those are good winter afternoon films. They really dont make them like that anymore.
