echo88 74 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 True Romance. Star studded cast. The exchange between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is probably my favorite of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish_Convert 1 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I like older movies. Off the top of my head, war movies like The Great Escape, The Longest Day, The Bridge On the River Kwai, The Guns of Navarone, The Marine and Tora, Tora, Tora. Some others: Picnic, Ben Hur, The Robe, It Happens Every Spring, Singing In the Rain, The Lost Weekend, On the Town and Bringing Up Baby. A few of my favorite comedies are from the 70s, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles.

GunSlinger 28 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 A lot of the movies mentioned are some of my favorites. Foxcatcher is at the top of my list of next to see, here is the trailer. [ame] [/ame] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketsan 768 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Is History of Violence the one with the cheerleader part in it? No...I own this film but I think it's highly overrated... Kind of like The Sixth Sense, I watched it knowing full well how it was going to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty88 0 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) After Hours is a great suggestion, as is King of Comedy (another Scorsese flic) The River's Edge Dream with the Fishes is an excellent, dark indy film. Where the Day Takes You, Amongst Friends, Drugstore Cowboy, Clockers Edited November 14, 2014 by Scotty88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
