NickDG 23 #52 January 18, 2011 >>TOP GUN>>>A Few Good MenLOL, those aren't "old" movies! Whata you guys like 30? The Maltese Falcon and the rest of the film noir movies from the 30s and 40s are the great old movies. Rather then a steady stream of lame one liners they had great writing and dialogue, and you know, a plot . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #53 January 18, 2011 Quote I wonder how much a set of plugs costs for a B-36? (Trivia question: how many spark plugs would you need to replace all of them?) There are 56 of them. Nope . . . 6 engines X 28 cylinders/engine X 2plugs/cylinder = 336 plugs Of course, that's not counting the ignitors in the 4 jet engines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,063 #54 January 18, 2011 Hi Speed, Quote Alfred Hitchcock movies are still great. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Might I then recommend Woody Allen's MATCH POINT? JerryBaumchen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Or the Mel Brooks movie High Anxiety! So why is it I just cannot put those two movies in the same category? JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,063 #55 January 18, 2011 Hi Nick, Quote the film noir movies from the 30s and 40s are the great old movies. Absolutely!!!!!!!! And a great one is: Double Indemity I've probably watched ~20 times; it used to be on the late show rather regularly when I was a kid. JerryBaumchen PS) Is my age showing? PPS) The late show was what was on before there was a TONIGHT show or a Letterman. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,398 #58 January 18, 2011 I've been populating my Netflix queue by starting at the top of this and working my way down: http://www.imdb.com/chart/top (Beware the over-rating they give to newer movies. e.g. "Dark Knight" is listed here at #10, and that was the worst movie I've seen in the past year.) I've had some very pleasant surprises watching flicks I'd never heard of from this list."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

I've had some very pleasant surprises watching flicks I'd never heard of from this list. That is a good list. I've seen almost everything on it and they are all excellent movies... except for anything voted on there recently. E.g I haven't seen 176 'How to Train Your Dragon', but if it is better than 177 'The Wages of Fear', I will eat my rig. Just one I noticed on there, 'The Night of the Hunter', is an incredible piece of cinema. There's too many to recommend... but I think a grown man who hasn't seen 'The Wild Bunch' must somehow feel that something is missing from his life...

warpedskydiver 0 #67 January 18, 2011 I just ordered that from Netflix, I was asked to watch it then opine as to it's accuracy for him. I get the feeling it is so far off that I will not be able to provide any useful info. I mean other than it is all wrong... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
