Can't beleive I couldn't see this listed:

ANIMAL HOUSE

First time I saw this in the theater I almost wet my pants! There are so many great lines like:

"Grab a brew. Don't cost nothin'"

Jim

 

[Sandy G]

Can't believe NOBODY'S mentioned "Patton" yet-"Now, men, I want you to remember that no bastard EVER won a war by dying for his country...He won it by making the OTHER poor, dumb bastard die for his..."-Sandy G.

 

[kcollins4]

Another animal house line I can relate to. John Belushi on hearing the've been expelled..."six years, down the drain"

 

[tcdriver]

Repo Man

 

[VinylHanger]

Never Cry Wolf
Ran-Kurosawa

If there is one movie that stand above the rest (for me) it must be the crime saga HEAT (1995).

Not only does it features the some of the best actors alive, it's also very very good on HT.

HEAT: 1995 Robert de Niro, Val Kilmer Al Pacino, Ashley Judd, Jon Voight, Natalie Portman and Tom Sizemore...

Five thumbs up for this one :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

"The Gods must be Crazy", thanks, I'd forgotten that one!
Here's another few,

"Dracula" , the original, with Bela Lugosi ("I never drink...wine")
"Frankenstein" the Karloff version
"Lost Horizons"
"Napoleon"

You forgot three of my favorites,Clint-The Exterminating Angel,Viridiana,and Simon of the Desert.BTW Clint,have you read his autobiography-My Last Breath?He was a funny guy as well as a great filmaker.

[RussinOhio]

Dr*audio, obviously you're a Monty Python fan....(Ministry of silly walks!)

Every Python movie I've ever seen made me laugh till it hurt!


Hope those guys make another film someday.

Russ

 

[dr*audio]

Unfortunately, since Graham Chapman, the main creative force behind Monty Python, died a few years back, a reunion is unlikely. Some of the guys have appeared in projects together.
But, that reminds me:
John Cleese appears in "Silverado", one of my favorite Westerns.
