    October/Goodfellas/Misery

    Goodfellas is in the Yella all time top 10. Not too far behind the the Godfather series. But October is the best Clancy movie bar none and I will watch it over and over.
    For unknown reasons, it was years before I saw Goodfellas. Really like the movie and full respect for quality, yadaydada, but it's not one I seek out.

    I remember waiting anxiously for months, nay, years from announcement of Hunt for Red October until debut. It delivered.

    I can't think of another movie more in your wheelhouse than October.

    The Hunt For Red October
    Goodfellas is far and away the better film - but if I have to chose between the two films, I’m watching Hunt for Red October. I argue it’s more quotable and has a hotter cast.

    Especially Fred Thompson...raawwwrrrrr.

    I realize now that I have been wrong. All this time, I have been waiting. Waiting for what? For someone to find me? For Indians to take my horse? To see a buffalo? Since I arrived at this post I have been walking on eggs. It has become a bad habit, and I am sick of it. Tomorrow I will ride out to the Indians. I don't know the outcome, or the wisdom of this thinking, but I have become a target. And a target makes a poor impression. I am through waiting."



    I respect the greatness of Goodfellas but am not a huge fan of the gangster genre. Westerns and/or historical epics though...

    Dances takes on an almost spiritual significance to me. It’s masterful.

    Just watched DWW a few months ago, and it totally held up. My husband and I, multiple times throughout the movie, turned to each other (with pride) and said something like, "I forgot how good this was."

    ATBSJBS, Hunt For Red October is in my top-10 list of movies I've watched by number of times. I fucking love it. If there's any criticism, it's that Alec Baldwin displaces Harrison ford as Jack Ryan in a one-off. He does fine, but it's a weird inconsistency. I love this movie so much that I thought my then-7 and 9 year olds would appreciate it. They did not...

    "When I was twelve, I helped my daddy build a bomb shelter in our basement because some fool parked a dozen warheads 90 miles off the coast of Florida..."

    Edit: Edward Scissorhands also amazing.

    Back in 1998 I went with some peter puffer frens to watch the Director's cut re-release of Das Boot at The Neptune. There were no women in the theater and we were the only guysm under age 50. Lulz.

    I am not en zie condition to fuck!!

    Goodfellas
    I could've voted for Dances With Wolves or Misery. Goodfellow is top 5-10 for me though. I watch it, or parts of it, pretty much any time I stumble into it.

    Quite honestly, Mitch, I don't think Alec Baldwin nor Harrison Ford were great casting for Jack Ryan. Baldwin slightly better. Great movie regardless.

    I failed to even read Goodfellas, and immediately thought of three tits lady.


    You know what I love about the three tits thing? Two hands and a mouth exist on me. I always (by always I mean never because I'm married) feel like I have an extra hand or whatever all ready to go.

    I read all the Clancy books in middle school, so my memory of them is very fuzzy...I recall HFRO being very different from the film, but a good adaptation.

    What disappointed you about it?

    Over-simplified and Hollywoodized to make Ryan do more than he did in the book

    When Patriot Games was made into a movie Clancy was interviewed and he said that when he read the script he cried because of what they did to it (especially the ending - heey, let's have a fistfight on a speedboat!)*. He should have known what they would do because it's what they did to H4RO.

    * Paramount execs talked to him immediately afterward and told him that if he wanted his other books to be made into movies he needed to be more supportive, so the next day he went out and pretty much recanted what he'd said in the earlier interview
