Well, more of a connection with a place and time. It was July of 1999, and I had been out all day sightseeing on foot. I was hot and tired when I returned and l finally laid down and turned on the TV. My reaction was 'what the hell is this?'

Sailor Steve 02-06-11 09:06 PM

I'm amazed at how tame some of those are today. I don't think Midnight Cowboy would get worse than a PG-13 if released today. Of course I might be forgetting parts, as I only saw it once when it was released.

A list? I never thought of that. Okay.

The Wild Bunch
Basic Instinct
Resevoir Dogs
The Song Of The South
Dirty Harry
Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song
Scarface (yes, the original, and yes, it's better)
Midnight Cowboy
I Am Curious (Yellow) (and the Blue version)
The Outlaw
The Silence of the Lambs
The Exorcist
Life of Brian
Straw Dogs
Bonnie and Clyde
Last Tango in Paris
A Clockwork Orange
The Birth of a Nation

I'm actually surprised at the number of them that I haven't seen.

And then,you pull up your whiskey, and then the film was a distant memory.

YES, YES you are right, the other is missing, so the list can get rather long if you want to expand it, so it may be your homework Reece :yeah:

I agree with Steve regarding how tame some of them are by todays standards so I'll simply add one quickie....Rambo IV.
