Best Movies Ever?

Postby VT Sasquatch » 05 06, 2016 •  [Post 1]

I read the other thread with movie quotes and I realized how few movies I have watched compared to the average person. One of these days I'll start watching some on a regular basis. What are your favorite movies?

For me, I love Stand by Me and my favorite comedy is probably My Cousin Vinny. What's on your lists?

Dancing with Wolfs, I am not a person that likes to watch the same movie again, but I have seen this one many times.

I'll have to check out Dances with Wolves. I have heard of it but never seen it. Some of those others I have never even heard of. I have a portable DVD player in my cabin. I'll start making more use of it in hunting seasons. I watched the first season of Game of Thrones on DVD and have most of the Sopranos seasons. I'll have to add to my small collection for night time entertainment.

A couple others I liked were On Golden Pond and A River Runs a Through it. Both with human drama intertwind with trout fishing.

Jeremiah Johnson

2001 Space Odyssey has to be the worst movie ever made. I wouldn't take money to watch that again.

Best movie no one seems to know about-hands down "Run Fat Boy Run" with Simon Pegg. Absolutely hilarious, with a great message.

Geez, I like a lot of movies.. hard to pick out what I would call the best. I guess these are what I would watch if they came up on TV, or, I own them.

The Hunted - T.L Jones
The Edge - A. Hopkins
First Blood - S. Stalone
The Revenant - New one
The Last Samurai - T. Cruise
Full Metal Jacket - L. Emory
American History X - E. Norton
Pretty much all of Clint Eastwood Movies
Hard Times and The Mechanic - C. Bronson
Lots of comedies - Dumb and Dumber, 40 Year Old Virgin, Planes/Trains/Automobiles, Parenthood, etc.
Grapes of Wrath - H. Fonda (also like 12 Angry Men with H. Fonda..Charina mentioned this above)
Apocalypto - R. Youngblood
We Were Soldiers - M. Gibson
Gladiator - R. Crow
Good Will Hunting - M. Damon/R. Williams
Braveheart - M. Gibson
The Patriot - M. Gibson
Regarding Henry - H. Ford
The Deer Hunter - R. DiNero, C. Walken
Groundhog Day - B. Murray
That's a few that I will watch over and over. There are many more I'm sure ;)

In general I'm just not a movie guy. I can wait until they make it to television usually although I did go see the Revenant. But even when I do see a good movie I'm good after watching it once or twice. I have to say though if I was flicking through the channels and nothing was on and I came across My Cousin Vinny I could watch that. Two utes. lmfao :lol: And Marissa Tomei... wow.

These days I mostly watch the reality shows that take place outdoors. Outdoors is my real bag so if I can't be outside I'll watch it on tv. If I could be outside all the time I wouldn't really need one..... except for hockey playoff season. Go Pens!

Let's not forget about Where the Red Fern Grows (although Indian Summer cries at the end everytime). Ole Dan and Little Anne. It's a classic!

Did anybody watch the video at the link I posted? It's anti hunter as can be but if you can get past that it's hilarious. I don't watch South Park but I saw it years ago and always remembered it because well you know... there's ELK in it. haha

Since I tend toward historical movies, there's The Amistad, Lone Survivor, Band of Brothers mini series, American Sniper, and the soon to be released 13 Hours at Benghazi. Haven't seen the Revenant yet but intend too. Pancho Villa with Antonio Banderas was also good and based upon true circumstances.
