Classic Movies.....What Should I Rent Tonight???

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Classic Movies.....What Should I Rent Tonight??? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 5/24/2001 10:25:43 AM EDT

I've seen most of the movies people on here seem to have liked a lot. I'm not looking for a new release, but really a few GREAT classic movies that I may not have seen yet. I don't care how old they are, as long as they were one of the BEST movies you've ever seen.

I like war films, comedies and pretty much anything with a REALLY good story to it. Movies that replace story and substance with "fun" visuals don't do it for me (ie..Independence Day stuff)

Here are a few films that I REALLY liked, just for reference.

1)Apoc. Now
2)Res. Dogs
3)Usual Suspects
4)Something About Mary
5)The Name Of The Rose

Any tips for todays movie rental??

Bullet was on AMC yesterday...Best car chase, hand down...

Sgt York is one of my favs and High noon (in his day Garry Cooper was the man).

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas, it will make you want to do illicit drugs.

Patton, make you wana slap a coward.

Just a few of my favs...

Hustler's Barely Legal is a fine series of films good for any rainy day. If you are of the bend-over type, try Saving Ryans Privates.

Free Americian,
is Bullet the one with Rock Hudson driving a black mach 1 with no markings/chrome?
If it is I have been trying to find the name of that move for years I always turn on AMC in the middle of the car chase where he is chasing two guys in another black car and in the end of scene the shoot at him with a winchester 1897 shotgun.

Only one of Traci Lord's videos are legal in the states, and that ain't it! There's a place in Quebec that sells every video she was ever in. Wow. [url]www.tracilordsvideos.com[/url]

Good movies:

-The Wild Geese
-To Live and Die in LA
-The Way of the Gun (so-so movie but it's by the guy who wrote The Usual Suspects, and the opening scene is just terrific)
-Lawrence of Arabia (my fave)

Heat - I love the shootout scene.
Pulp Fiction - Samuel L. Jackson is da man!
Men of Honor - I'm a squid, sue me.
The Matrix - "We need guns, lots of guns..."
Scarface - "Say hello to my little friend..."

And some other movie with Antonio Bandaras(sp) where he's a sniper, trying to kill this other sniper who faked his own death. (Well, that's how I remember it.)

Just got the Magnificent Seven DVD. Damn that's a cool movie. Watch it again if you haven't seen it in a few years. Charles Bronson providing covering with a lever gun...heh. Made it look easy....
Of course, Steve McQueen draws from his holster and promptly shoots the ground at one point.

Can't wait for Wild Bunch to arrive.

Any one else here forget to mention The Untouchables?

The Sand Pebbles w/ Steve McQueen, a young Candice Bergen, Simon Oakland and a bunch of other great character actors, an '03 Springfield, and a BAR.

My favorite flick. It's over 3hrs long though, bring a lunch.

Well, I can't believe no one has mentioned Full Metal Jacket yet.

1. Platoon

2. Saving Private Ryan

3. Rules of Engagement (if you like A Few Good Men, and realistic gun fights.)

4. Full Metal Jacket

5. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (I know, a little extreme, but it does have a scene where the Baldwins get 'sploded good!!)

6. The Matrix (Must have been in a cave on Mars with your ears plugged if you've missed this one)

Gangster flick
