Thread: Classic Flics

Tweet

A lot of us here enjoy relaxing to a good classic movie. I am starting this thread to get your responses on your favorite movies (especially classics). This is not intended to do only classics, but bring out some movies that could become a classic even if it's something like HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS (my favorite of all time) Bring 'em out! John Wayne, Clint Eastwood,Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, You get the idea!

Young Frankenstien.

Igor (Marty Feldman) when questioned about the brain he retrieved from the "Brain Depository" after dropping the genius brain and destroying it...

Dr. Frankenstien (Gene Wilder) Igor,,, what brain did you bring me?

Igor - Uhhh Abbey,,

Dr. Frankenstien - Abbey?

Igor - Yeah,,, Abbey uhhh,, something

Dr. Frankenstien - Abbey something?

Igor - Yeah,, uhhhh Abbey something,,, uhhh,, Abbey,, Abbey Normal,, yeah that's it Abbey Normal!

I hear the original "Gone in 60 seconds" is supposed to be bada$$. I dont think there were any well known actors in the movie they could not afford it. It was also made with about 3 thousand dollars, lol

There are a few I like, Godfather, Scarface, etc. But one I just rewatched recently was Heat with DiNero and Pachino. Not only are these guys great in it, but the shootout scene between the cops and bank robbers is the best ever IMO.

Strange thing about it, that real shootout in California between the bank robbers and the cops was very similar to the movie.

something about the Shawshank Redemption that turned my crank
and the Mad Max movies.
I want to see Thunder Road again _it has to be 35 years since I last saw it

If we're talkin good ol cheesy low budget car movies, Death Race 2000 or Duel are always big hits. The Car isn't bad, either although I haven't seen it in years.

Another goodie just came to mind....Two Lane Blacktop.

bullit, smokey and the bandit, 300 (just came out the best movie i have ever seen), original gone in 60 seconds, American Graffiti, the good the bad and the ulgy, fistfull of dollars, pulp fiction, talladega nights, blow, goodfellas, the list goes on and on
but if you are looking for something to go see watch 300 it is about 300 spartans defending sparta from the persians and it is based on a true story just a great movie. i own the original gone in 60 seconds and it is bada** there is a 45min chase scene where he is actually driving through the middle of town and bumping into real cars not movie cars much of that scene was unplanned

World's Fastest Indian may just become a classic.

For me, it's gotta be "Lonesome Dove" a real classic western With Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. I watch this classic at least once a year. It was originally a four part TV mini-series and if you can't get enough there are some sequels.

Band of Brothers is my all time pick.

You people are really hitting some good ones I like also. I just had to drop in here for another suggestion. Anybody watch Monty Python flicks? Sometimes British Humor fits the bill for an evening of foolishness.

So Denny, you must have Clan Of The Cave Bear in your collection. It's not what might be called a classic by most but it is good. Besides who can resist Darryl Hanna in the movie.

Caddy Shack, Blues Brothers
