The MOVIE thread

"Open Range" with Robert Duval, Annette Benning, and Kevin Costner. It's one of my all-time favorite cowboy movies.

[Oh Haha]

Watching "The French Connection" on TMC right now. Good stuff so far.

Is there a secret joke that the main characters are eating all the time?

Recognized Bill Hickman as a Detective. Better known as "the driver" of the Charger in "Bullitt". cool

He also was driving the tow vehicle when James Dean was killed. Supposedly Dean died in his arms.

[Seahawk]

Go see, 'Hell or High Water'.

Jeff Bridges in a leading role.

BTW, for those of you who like to watch old movies, my wife and I watched, 'From Here to Eternity' last night.

It was awful...do not bother.

I didn't know that. Interesting.

I watched 'Harvey' not long ago - hadn't seen it in years. Funny movie and Jimmy Stewart is perfect in the role. Well worth it.

Yeah Kurt....can't go wrong with Jimmy Stewart!

OK so I understand that TNT will be broadcasting all the Star Wars movies starting tomorrow (Tuesday). Of course I have them on DVD but still - such great entertainment it's hard to pass it up when aired.

Meh, Star Wars Schmar Wars. I never understood the appeal but to each their own.

I watched "American History X" last night on IFC. It was uncut but had commercials.

That's a GREAT movie, Wayne. I like anything Edward Norton is in.

Speaking of which....did you ever see "Bustin' Down the Door" narrated by Norton?

I don't know who made that happen but it was an amazingly good decision, given the unique content of the documentary.....

[Oh Haha]

I didn't but I will check it out Baz. Thanks for the tip!

r.

Saw it last week....great movie! Surprised it didn't get more notice.

[Baz]

I've been watching the Star Wars movies on TNT this week. So far they've aired Episodes 1,2 and 3. Tonight will be the original...(episode 4 "The New Hope")

I got 'em all on DVD but just like watching them again on cable......for some oddball reason.

[Oh Haha]

I watched a neat old movie yesterday. " 5 Weeks in a Balloon" with Fabian, Red Buttons, and most importantly, a young, smokin' hot Barbara Eden.

There were some really funny lines that were perfectly sarcastic.

Ha...I saw the ending of that one a month or so ago. It's a classic!

Carrie Fisher ------------ when she was hawt!

That's the film not so subtly alluded to in 'The Godfather.'

A horse's head on the bed gets the young Italian singer (Sinatra?) a movie role that saved his career. Prior to, there was no way in hell he was getting that role.

[Joe Bob]

Netflix, BBC production series, streaming only....The Fall and Luther....good watches. Agent Muldahr from X files is a blonde with low morals.

[Baz]

I'm watching "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".......for about the 10th time. Great movie! Oh - here comes the debate...changing channel...
