Old Movies

Tonight, I was bored. So I pulled out some VHS and watched them. I loved them, and I definitely suggest watching them.

The 13th Warrior (Antonio Banderas only good movie IMO~)
The Ghost and the Darkness
Congo
Zulu!

Discuss, and tell me some of your old movies!

Re: Old Movies

Ghost and the Darkness is one of my all time favs.. I like how it was based on a true story and well Val Kilmer is quiet a hot guy too :)

which reminds me Top Gun is a oldie but a goodie too

13th Warrior - Excelent, havent watched that one in ages

The Ghost in the Darkness - Epic scenery, great actors, story & script, one of my all times favorites, also got to love this quote

Mahina: You know, I also have killed a lion.
Angus Starling: How many shots did you need?
Mahina: I used my hands.


Congo - Never seen this one, but since you rate it with these other I will have to watch it

Zulu - Loved this film but watched it to many times, recon I need another 5 years or so before I can watch it again.


If we're going for proper oldies, I'll add

Lawrence of Arabia - Re-Watched this a few months back when I got my 50' widescreen, it needs the big screen to do it justice.

Bladerunner - Another of my all time favorites, but also another one you can only watch once every 5 years of so

2010 - Rare, a sequel I preferred the first film, also re-watched it recently to see how much better it would be on a bigger screen.

Congo is quite good.

Have you read the book from which Bladerunner is based?

Re: Old Movies

One of my all time favs is the 1937 classic

"Gone With The Wind", every girl should have a Rhett

and I'll watch Monty Python ones anytime too.

Congo
A megalomaniac C.E.O. sends his son into the dangerous African Congo on a quest for a source of diamonds large enough and pure enough to function as powerful laser communications transmitters (or is it laser weapons?). When contact is lost with his son and the team, his sometime daughter- in-law is sent after them. She is a former CIA operative and, accompanied by gee-whiz gadgetry and a few eccentric characters (including a mercenary, a researcher with a talking gorilla, and a a nutty Indiana-Jones-type looking for King Solomon's Mines), sets out to rescue her former fiancé. What they all discover is that often what we most want turns out to be the source of our downfall

As for Zulu, I'm right there with you. Let's not forget the two awesome classics shall we?!

God damn, loved these movies as a kid.

The Jungle Book, and Hook. Who's seen them!?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102057/ - Hook

Does the CIA thing even come up in the movie? I don't recall that part.

Gotta love Hook! "RUN HOME JACK!"
That version of The Jungle Book is the one I most enjoy. The books are still some of my absolute favorites.

Re: Old Movies

If we're doing kids films then Jungle book is a winner, but another fav from my childhood is Bugsy Malone, sing it with me :lol:

We could've been anything that we wanted to be
But don't it make your heart glad
That we decided, a fact we take pride in
We became the best at being bad


I always wanted one of those splurge guns too :-D

Indeed, it does. I believe it was when they were doing the satellite phone thingy majigger? I cannot remember correctly the part, but I know it's there. :P

Yes, I love Hook. It's amazing, and still will be 20 years from now. Same with Jungle Book, that was my favorite version of it. More of an advanced version of the actual film for adults. :P
