[ezo4]

I’m sitting here after work and pulled out the “Last of the Mohicans” and I’m wondering what my fellow freepers like for there favorite movies. I would like more for my collection of dvd’s. Current and older movies? Doesn’t matter what it is.

Just a little break from the daily news and politics.

I have quite a few that I like and I’m looking for more. Hit me back

Treasure Of The Sierra Madres

[King_of_Hindsight]

Manhunter...mid 80'sd film starring the lead actor from CSI and the first film representation of Hannibal Lecter...very captivating movie...

Quotes:

"Though it will always be remembered as the movie featuring the "other" Hannibal Lecter, Michael Mann's 1986 thriller Manhunter is nearly as good as The Silence of the Lambs, and in some respects it's arguably even better. Based on Thomas Harris's novel Red Dragon, which introduced the world to the nefarious killer Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter, the film stars William Petersen (giving a suitably brooding performance) as ex-FBI agent Will Graham, who is coaxed out of semiretirement to track down a serial killer who has thwarted the authorities at every turn."

[Thunder 6]

Sure, why not!

In no particular order:

- Gladiator (the opening sequence where he dreams of home while in the mud of a German battlefield is wonderful)

- Das Boot (In German, then go visit the U-505 in Chicago)

- Blade Runner (Director's cut, "My mother, let me tell you about my mother..."

- Fail Safe (scared hell out of me as a kid)

- Brazil (the torture sequence at the end is amazing)

- Annimal House ("Knowledge is Good" -Emil Faber)

- Caddyshack ("the flowing robes...stunning.")

- Black Hawk Down

- The Thing (John Carpenter's version)

- Doctor Zhivago (the ending sequence, you desperately want her to be Lara's daughter. "It's a gift from God.")

- Zulu ("There's nobody else lad, just us.")

- Chariots of Fire (inspired all us Cross Country geeks in HS)

- In the Heat of the Night (I think I was stationed in that town...)

I'd stay home to watch any of these!

This could go on, and on!
