Movie Suggestions?
 

The last time I batched it I asked this rolling community for a movie suggestion and I netted one of my all-time favorites: Taken.

Can we discover another slightly lesser-known great movie? I'm looking for a sweeping adventure, nothing too dark. It should pair with venison backstrap and red wine. The second movie will ideally complement a Laphroaig 10.

Thank you for your help!

North by Northwest?

Ong Bak, a movie about a boy and his elephant. There are scenes where he is running through town that are pretty amazing. Subtitles, good story, great action, acrobatic fights.

Don't bother with Taken 2 or 3, they are pitiful compared to the first one.

Have you seen the Transporter movies? For some fun fight scenes and things getting blowed up real good they are mindless fun.

I really liked Expendables 3. Evey action star all in one movie.

They call me Nobody, good old western with a twist.:D

Some from the way back machine:

- Three Days of the Condor. Great s vs s movie.

A few more that are recent. I was sick this past week so ordered some movies.

- Deep Water Horizon. A solid movie.

- The Accountant. Again, solid.

- A Man Called Ove

- Hell or High Water

If you like the My Name is Nobody the are a couple of other good comedy westerns.

They call me Trinity and My Name is Still Trinity with Terrance Hill that is in My Name is Nobody.

That was the first PG rated movie I saw. I think I was in the 5th grade - so about 11 or 12. I still remember the quick glimpse of some boobies in the backstage scene.

the Sting was the first movie i saw with my dad..wish he was alive so we can keep watching it..loved that film. i dont even remember understanding the grift back then.

i just watched the Accountant..great film. i can now forgive affleck for his role as the Punisher.

This may be a little off the wall and maybe you wouldn't like it in the end but there is an older movie I liked. It's an Italian movie by Lina Wertmuller titled "Swept Away." It stars Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melito. Kind of a simple story about two dissimilar people who end up on a small island trying to survive until they are rescued. It's a pretty European style movie. There was a 2002 remake starring Madonna as the leading lady. I didn't see it & don't care for Madonna.

7 academy awards..a great storyline. The poker game with Paul Newman and Robert Shaw on the train is one of the best scenes ever.

I worked on Deja Vu' a good Si-FI that didn't get much traction. We filmed most of it in Post-Katrina in New Orleans.

Shooter with Mark Wahlberg and Danny Glover is always entertaining.

The Grey. Liam Neeson.

3:10 to Yuma (new version)

Band of Brothers series.

Super 8

Perfect. Thanks.

It's a great movie Seahawk. Very underappreciated IMO.

wow..MANHUNTER!!

that might be my favorite movie of all time..a MANN film IIRC.
