Everyone post you favourite movies damnit. I have loads of favourites. Requiem for a dream, full metal jacket, true romance, pulp fiction, scarface, serpico. Loads, I like great films with un hollywood endings. The new war of the worlds was great until he messed it up at the end. a) how did his teenage son survive charging at three stalkers, and how did he get all the way to Boston and b) the film would have been so much better if they got to Boston and everyone was dead, not miraculously safe. Even the old people were alive for christs sake, they should have been killed first.

Hey!!!!!...what do you have against old people?...me and my AARP homeboys don't take kindly to such talk!
A couple of my favorite movies...the ShawShank Redemption and Lackawanna Blues which was an HBO film. -

CASABLANCA
THE SEARCHERS ( and just about any John Ford film with the Duke )
OPEN RANGE
DIRTY HARRY
THE JERK
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, etc/, etc,etc.Comment

Not too fond of swearing, and I'm not too sure what time warp this thing has been in but War of the Worlds is no longer 'new'.Comment

I've been on a bit of a classic film run lately (mostly early Hitchcock, but a few others) and while I have a reasonable number of such films on my shelf, I'm curious to know if there are any I should at least rent, if not add to my collection.
Basically, what are your favourite classic... -
If you're a Trek fan (even if you're not warm to the new ones), you should find Beyond entertaining. I read somewhere (a review or a post on a forum--can't remember where exactly) that Beyond is a film that would slot in with the TOS films of the 80s, if only they'd had the tech/budgets back then.

In honour of the great Paul Newman's passing, I decided to pull out an old favourite and kick back for a couple of hours. While I've seen Slap Shot over a dozen times, this was the first time it wasn't P&S and it was the first time on a screen bigger than a 4:3 32 inch SD TV. The 25th Anniversary...

Boston's lead singer Brad Delp died suddenly at his home, alone. No details other than that, and the band says the world just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll. I remember well that studio album Boston when it came out in the 70s. It was powerful, it was extremely well mixed, and it was a huge...
