[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

[CobaltBlue]

The Seven Samurai.

Lawrence of Arabia.

The Matrix.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Bladerunner.

And, yes, The Last of the Mohicans.

I can recommend some that have already been posted plus:

Dead Man

Chinese Ghost Story (not the animated one)

The Gods Must be Crazy

[Houmatt]

It's A Wonderful Life

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My absolute favorite film!

I challenge anyone to not watch that film from start to finish and not get teary-eyed during the conclusion.

You mistook this site for a chatroom?

Sometimes its nice to get to know your fellow freepers.

[Argus]

ZULU

[uncitizen]

Oh yeah, i forgot about Baseketball and Dumb and Dumber.

[Arkinsaw]

The Gods Must be Crazy

Oh yeah, that ones fantastic.

[ezo4]

"Ten Commandments"

that is another one I need to get. The last one was ben hur

[jenny65]

Yeah, Brazil funny how the future WAS reflected in that twisted epic.

No kidding. And definitely in my top ten. Another fav...

The Exorcist

The only movie that scares me just as much today as the first time I saw it.

[Cicero]

Ran
Cries and Whispers
Blade Runner
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[Arkinsaw]

ZULU

Dang, I forgot that one too.

[NEWwoman]

Cool. Is Reba in it?

It was hard to tell from the quick promo's I saw. They flashed the faces too fast. But I believe I saw Bert - and he may be the same actor. And the worms, of course, who (if you saw the sequels), turn into @$$-blasters.

[pjd]

Dr Strangelove
O Lucky Man
A Clockwork Orange

What ? You never heard of Amish porn ? That's what I call the gut-bustingly hillarious 2am fare on Showtime. Consisting of really really bad plots (I mean bad by even bad movie standards), women that have basketball-hard chests and look like orange oompa-loompas, physiologically-impossible lovemaking positions, and religious-conservative display of body parts that even Jedidiah and Rebekkah from Intercourse, PA wouldn't have a problem acting in. There you have it.

1) Chariots of Fire: Visually and musically beautiful. Spiritually and emotionally thrilling. Eric Liddell believes that God is calling him to serve as a missionary, "but He also made me fast! And when I run, I feel His pleasure". I always cry during that final race.
2) U-571: I find the repetitious suspense almost unbearable; to think that submariners lived in those tin cans, under the ocean, many hundred miles from dry land, and then one frightened seaman somehow sucked it up enough to go beneath the deepest bowels of that boat, in order to do his duty...extraordinary actions by ordinary men.
3) Henry V (Branaugh): Shakespeare's incredible words; international romance; valor, loyalty, bravery; that St. Crispin's Day speech which thrills my heart each time; and a hauntingly beautiful musical theme: "Non nobis domine...sed nomine tuo da gloriam... (Not unto us, O LORD, but to Your Name give glory )" ~Psalm 115:1.
4) Babette's Feast: Babette sacrifices her artistic gift for many years out of gratitude to her hostesses. The scenes where she prepares the feast, and her honored guests partake, would serve one well in an uncivilized place.
5) Gods and Generals: Opens tomorrow! but I include it in my list upon the recommendation of Dr. Robertson, who "wrote the book", and advised the filmmaker, on the Old-Testament warrior whose genius reached its zenith at the battle of Chancellorsville.

Good movie. Another one I forgot to list was Titus. An amazing Shakespeare adaptation that made me feel almost like I'd never seen a movie before.
