I'll see your Trainspotting, and I'll raise you a Twin Town. :yep:

I would be watching Run Silent Run Deep right now.....but I can't figure out how to turn the sound on.

This damn TV and it's awesomeness...has to be ruined by the sound not working.

If you haven't yet seen it, I can recommend "The Numbers Station", starring John Cusack, very good, well acted (obviously!), and regarding the titular subject, accurate as well. At just about 1.5 hours long, it moves at a pretty good pace as well..:O:

Meg Ryan was so hot in all three roles in that movie. I can't decide which one I liked best. I also love Eric Burdon's version of that old classic.
How about, Dan Hedaya's role as Mr. Waturi? :haha:
"But can he do the job. I know he can get the job but can he DO the job? I'm NOT arguing that with you. I'm not arguing that with YOU. I'm not ARGUING that with you. I'm not ARGUING that with you Harry! Harry... Harry... Yeah Harry... but can he DO the job. I know he can GET the job but can he do the job?"

I'm a fan of his too. Then you must've seen "Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil", great role as a Better Homes & Gardens journalist. It's based on a true story too: Murder Mystery.
He was also in:
1408 (great, but creepy movie)
City Hall :up:
The Grifters (His best performance IMHO)
Fat Man And Little Boy (another great performance)

How embarrassing! :oops:
C'mon Red, you're a young guy, you should know all this high tech stuff. Us old guys should be having problems like that. :har:

I did figure it out. Took me about 20 minutes.

My grandma has like 500 movies...lots of old war movies...

Lots that I plan on watching.... :D I ended up watching Winter's Bone....again....I just can't say no to that movie. Tomorrow after I see the USS North Carolina I'm gonna watch RSRD and hopefully "They Were Expendable"

I'm also going to get around to watching Battle of Britain, Sink the Bismarck, Operation Pacific, Operation Petticoat, and maybe Apocalypse Now.

Not sure yet. :timeout:

If you want to watch some really good classics, watch these:

And Then There Were None
Rear Window
The Lady Eve
Zulu (1964)
Young Mr. Lincoln
Carbine Williams
Cool Hand Luke
South Pacific
Sabrina (1954)
Wait Until Dark
The African Queen
The Yearling
To Kill A Mockingbird (excellent movie)
Captains Courageous
Boys Town
Lord Of The Flies (1963)

I'll have to end it here. Too many to list.:03:

Sounds like your grandma has a great collection. So many movies...so little time.

Hope to see some good pics of the USS North Carolina.
Be careful, you know you're in "Admiral Armistead country". :D

I can't wait to see it today...

And yes..I know that. I saw an old guy at the Carolina Beach yesterday metal detecting... It didn't look like Armistead though...and he didn't have the dog. :har:

Speaking of romantic comedies...

Father Goose. :sunny:

Or, how about "The Out Of Towners".
More like romantic hilarity.:03:

It's Neil Simon. Of course it's funny. After all, he wrote The Odd Couple.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that movie. :roll:

Haha, another great movie. Loved Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon together.

Oscar Madison: "Now kindly remove that spaghetti from my poker table."

(Felix laughs)

Oscar Madison: "What the hell's so funny?"

Felix: "It's not spaghetti, it's linguini."

Oscar picks up the linguini, hurls it against the kitchen wall and says, "Now it's garbage".

I must admit, I think one of my favourite movies is Thirteen Days.

It's got political tension, military tension, some action, good scripting and is based on real events. There are some liberties taken, yes, but it was very enjoyable to watch. :yep:

Gandhi is another great film, an epic in fact, and Ben Kingsley deserves the Oscar he won for it, one of the eight Oscars that the film won. Very highly recommended. :yep:

Last night, I wanted to watch Operation Pacific...

I ended up watching The Ghost and The Darkness. That was a great movie.

Tonight, I wanted to watch Operation Pacific....

Buuuuuuutttttttt.... I'm most of the way through Goodfellas at the moment. I'm gonna finish it tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I will watch Operation Pacific. :har:

Finally finished watching Run Lola Run last night. It was ok, a good idea, but not great.

I've been watching more and more Independent Films lately. I grew up watching movies that were held together by the plot/storyline. It's hard to find that anymore in Hollywood, where the big flash bang explosions and "shoot 'em up" action thrills have taken over. That's not to say a good storyline doesn't rear it's head every once in a while.

You want to see a good Independent pyscho-thriller?
Watch "Sprial". The ending makes the entire "character study" approach, worth the wait.

Talk in another thread about scary movies suddenly made me think of the only movie in recent years that actually terrified me: Arlington Road, with Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins and Joan Cusak. It's a minor movie, with some flaws, but it's just...different.

All the more so because it's a (mostly) true story.

Awesome lines in that movie!

"We have brown sandwiches and green sandwiches, which do you want?"
"What's the green?"

"It's either very new cheese or very old meat" :D

and

"I saw milk standing in the refrigerator that wasn't even in a bottle!"

Classic! :up:
