Romantic Comedies?

Gross Point Blank (Dan Aykroyd, John Cusack, Minnie Driver)
Joe vs The Volcano (Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, Lloyd Bridges)
Hero At Large (John Ritter, Anne Archer)

Just to name a few.

How could I have forgotten one of my all-time favorites? Three Meg Ryans for the price of one! Robert Stack..."Brain cloud". Ossie Davis in a small but wonderful role. Abe Vigoda..."Waponi Wu!" Eric Burdon doing fine justice to the Tennessee Ernie Ford classic 'Sixteen Tons'.

Thanks for reminding me! Now I have to schedule time to pull out my copy and watch it again.

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

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..

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?

"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

The Grifters (His best performance IMHO)
Fat Man And Little Boy (another great performance)

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....

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.

WernherVonTrapp · 06-05-13, 06:23 AM

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.

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".

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.
