“This water is cold! Believe is shriveled my pod...pod” .....Captain Augustus McCray.SECDAWG said:Did not read through everyone’s list yet but made sure I haven’t posted already as not to repeat myself.
Guarantee mine will be way off from most here 180 degrees, but that’s par for course caus my lingo seems to be not understandable by many. But here goes:
1: Lonesome Dove—I know it’s not a movie per say but could be a long one of fashioned together. It’s the GOAT.
Really in no particular order:
The Outlaw Josey Whales
PREDATOR
Smokey and the Bandit
Life(EM and ML)
El Dorado
The Good, Bad, and Ugly
North To Alaska
Dances With Wolves
Rio Bravo
Could include a few more westerns but 10’s the max here. -
Jurassic Park is the best movie ever made. Fight me

Clearing houses is time intensive and the bridge was the key terrain, i.e., the bridge is critical to the success of the operation to one side or even both.creepycoug said:
I thought the whole point was that they wanted to get to that bridge and secure it. Remember the scene where Captain Miller is going over the map with some other guy and pointing to that bridge as critical for the Germans so that they could retreat and regroup or for their supply lines or some shit? I think that's why they were in, what was it, Romel?, in the first place.Gladstone said:
You will laugh but I only recently watched The Last of the Mohicans for the first time. Just a wonderful movie and definitely one of the all-time greats. That soundtrack touched the very essence of my soul. Actually that entire last sequence from the Duncan fire until the ending monologue. Jaw-dropping stuff. 10/10 movie.creepycoug said:

I am thinking of running a little 32 entries tourney of Hardcore Husky's favorite films. ATBSJBS, I'd like to do some research ahead of time in terms of selections and seedings. Please to be poasting your all tim, top 10 most favorite films. I will start:
Godfather I
Godfather II
Goodfellas
Dirty Harry
Caddyshack
Animal House
Blazing Saddles
Napoleon Dynamite
The Graduate
Apocalypse Now
GodfatherI
Animal House
Saving Private Ryan (I've watched this movie almost as many tims as I've watched Josie Wales, which is to say, a lot)
River Runs Through It
Good Will Hunting
Gladiator
Outlaw Josie Wales
Patton (George C. Scott played that role so well that when I see pictures of the real Patton my mind wants to blurt out, "that's not Patton.")
Last of the Mohicans (You don't want to be Duncan in any part of your real life; Magua is a fucking bad ass and Wes Studi is the shit)
Honorable Mentions
Unforgiven/Pale Rider/High Plains Drifter (pick one)
Apocalypse Now (more of a WWII guy than a 'Nam guy)
Darkest Hour
Full Metal Jacket (dark shit dude; some great fucking lines in this one)
Horror/Scary Shit
The Others. You can only watch it once, but the first tim you watch it while you're still figuring it out it's fucking awesome and spooked me a little.
I’ll be controversial and say outside of the magnificent opening scene I very much dislike Saving Private Ryan. It really slows down, and its depiction of warfare in the final act is terribly apocryphal. Battle hardened German troops just bypassing rows of houses to get to a city center? Stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.
Then again, I know nothing about being a soldier and will defer to those of you who do.
Agreed; the score for Mohicans is epic. Pretty much anything Daniel Day Lewis touches is the real deal. No accident that he's in two of my top 10. Bill the Butcher takes the fucking cake though. Holy shit that is Deniro in Taxi Driver-level acting.
I myself liked the journey they took in SPR. Wandering through France and the dialogue about what they were doing. The death scene of the medic was heavy. "My liver. Oh my God my liver." Heavy.
But the opening scene is so intense and well done it's hard to improve from there. Watched it for the first time after buying a good surround sound system and the bullets were clanging off metal all around me.
I agree that SPR slows down way too much at points but it’s highlighted by great scenes in between with Danson and the stand-off, going through the dog tags as 82nd & 101st guys March by and then the German recon half track getting blown up.
Mohicans is incredible. Nuff said on that.
Gladiator still holds up as does the Departed.
I watched Matrix a couple years ago and it doesn’t hold up as well IMO. Same with Superbad.
OG Predator is still a fucking classic with an incredible cast.

Yep. Watch OG-P with my daughter in the last year, she even enjoyed it.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

I played out the movie in my head enough times to figure out how long from insertion to pick up Arnold was in the jungle. It’s about 48 hours in case you’re wondering.GrundleStiltzkin said:
