and you didn't happen to mean "paths of glory" did you? cuz that's a masterpiece?

star wars was... may 25, 1977. i remember it like it was... um... thirty years ago.

damn that movie was religious.

gasp.

  Thanks..!

  This would be "Tunes of Glory" with Alec Guiness and John Mills.  I remember first watching it on TV at a B&B in Carlisle, UK...

  '77, ah yes, of course... :P 

  Yeah, I cannot leave it off of a list.  Just doesn't feel right, ya know..?

there are plenty of movies better, but there's never been a movie i've felt as good seeing, as the original star wars, in the theater, in first run, in summer of 1977, when i was 8 years old. never before, and never again, will i love a movie in the theater as much as i loved that.

i'm serious, and if you were there, you know what i mean. i made my parents' life a living hell until they took me to see it in the theater TWELVE TIMES. (bear in mind, it ran in first run for something like two years, i think. movies were different then, more like broadway plays. if they were a smash, they kept going and going like the energizer bunny.)

star wars was an absolutely unique movie experience.

which makes it that much more offensive that george lucas won't give us a decent DVD. >:( that computer retouch sheesh is complete garbage. i wouldn't feed that trash to my dog.

The Lord of The Rings:  The Fellowship of The Ring
The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
The Lord Of The Rings: The Return of The King
Almost Famous
The Natural
Crossroads (1986 with Ralph Macchio)
Cast Away
The Deer Hunter
The Godfather Part II
The Doors

Several good picks, tsg, but these two stand out. I haven't seen Stromboli, but I mean to (I loves me a good Rossellini movie). It's odd though, Stromboli is sometimes mentioned as one of the worst movies ever made (  ??? )


Yes I heard that before,i guess i have really bad taste 'cause i loved it ;D


Next decade goes like this...From the 60:

8 1/2 - Marcello Mastroiani,Claudia Cardinale and Anouk Aimée are superb in my favorite Fellini movie

Splendor In The Grass - Brilliant Elia Kazan film about young love and lust,and how the "wait" can drive you crazy

Blow Up - A trip to the 60's

Belle De Jour - Catherine Deneuve is divine in a story that shocks even now

Bonnie and Clyde - Faye and Warren prove that a life of crime is the sexiest thing ever

Two For The Road - Marriage ends romance? Maybe...maybe not

The Graduate - Mrs. Robinson seduces us all

Easy Rider - Born to be wild and the ultimate american road trip

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner - Spencer Tracy has a last speech that gives us the chills,and to think that 40 years later interracial couples still have to go through the bs...

Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid - Newman and Redford are perfection to me.

vis a vis blowup -- did you ever see "the passenger"? i'm ashamed i omitted that from my list. i love that flick.

for 60s, it's a crime not to mention dr. strangelove, and -- wait, was l'avventura the 60s? antonioni was so hard rock, what happened to him?

I have a confession to make... i can't stand Kubrick's movies,please don't kill me :(

About The Passenger,but of course i love it,check out my 70's list:

The Passenger- There aren't words...it doesn't need words! Watch and let your chin drop 'cause it's why we love movies

All The President's Men - I believe every journalist out there watched this movie when they were younger and found their calling.It's a masterpiece

Taxi Driver - Scorsese and De Niro greatest team work

Pappilon- I love the book too,escape stories are an obsession of mine. It also helps that Steve McQueen was the sexiest man that ever lived

The Godfather I and II- This is IT

Lenny - Dustin Hoffman is amazing as Lenny Bruce,stand-up comedy god

Chinatown - The plot,the performances,the cinematography,Polanski, it's perfection.

Kramer Vs. Kramer - A classic with an amazing soundtrack(Henri Purcell and Vivaldi,always work imo).And i always wondered did Billy ever worked again???

Apocalypse Now - Forget horror,this was the scariest movie i ever watched,it gave me nightmares for a week,and even now after watching it more than 20 times... it still does.

Annie Hall - What can i say? La-di-da,la-di-da,la la. It's all about the lines!


Manhattan - This was the true reason why i wanted to move to New York,is that embarrassing or what? lol

The 70's were full of great films,i'm sure i'm missing a bunch i love.

Thumbs up for having Heat there,that was one of the greatest films ever and it doesn't get recognized the way it should be.

don't like kubrick? holy cow. can this marriage be saved?

actually, one of the ones i've never really been able to get into is chinatown. it's just so... slow. i know i'm SUPPOSED to like it but....

My ten favorite movies from the 80's:

Diner - A really interesting look into the very strange world of male bonding.

Frances - Jessica Lange excels as Frances Farmer, and one my favorite actors of all time Sam Shepard gives one of his best performances too.

The Cotton Club - Great movie with all the classic ingredients.

The Purple Rose of Cairo - Now..."that's movie talk".

The Big Chill - Alex had some great,great friends who had a really nice taste in music.

The Fly - This movie is off the hook."Be afraid.Be very afraid".

Do The Right Thing - You either hate it or love it,and those kind of films are the ones that last.

Room With A View - Amazing british film,great performances and beautiful settings.

New York Stories - Coppola,Scorsese and Woody show their love for the city that never sleeps. The 3 stories are wonderful.

Say Anything - Of all the 80's teen comedies i like this one the most. I'm still waiting for some guy to blast "In Your Eyes" in my frontyard ::)

ET - Just because.

was goodfellas 80s? i can't remember.

vis-a-vis say anything, i'm a "the sure thing" man myself. i worship the hell out of that movie. and... where's "heathers"? absolute genius, that flick. although it hasn't dated well, school rampages not being as funny a subject as they used to be. :(

hey... did you ever see a flick called "the company of wolves"? super-high 80s weirdness, i love watching that one and just going, huh?

the big chill! meg tilly! she's the dreamiest.

i'd probably go, right off the top of my head, with

full metal jacket (sorry!)
die hard (it's not art but it's a total gas)
goodfellas (if it's 80s)
sure thing
the breakfast club
heathers
oo! the fly. i just saw that. good 'un.
star trek ii
empire strikes back
i dunno. maybe salvador?

my taste in 80s movies definitely veers toward the frivolous and goofy, now that i look back on this list. i guess maybe it was just that kinda decade. can't wait to get to the 90s so i can sound off for JFK. love that damn movie.

When I compiled my list I new it would be subjected to change. Today I would have have to insert:

Tuskegee Airmen
The Caine Mutiny
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

I kind dig The Sure Thing too,but Say Anything wins 'cause of a jewel named Lili Taylor and her Joe lies songs lol But Rob Reiner... i forgot When Harry Met Sally,now that's one great little relationship flick, I miss the young Meg Ryan so much.

Are you sure Heathers is from the 80's? I really thought that was an early 90's movie ??? oh and Godfellas is from 1990,i'm sure of that.

I can't believe you know The Company of Wolves, that's like the first movie from movie god Neil Jordan,i thought i was the only person that watched that film,it is one weird experience,i could never hear of Little Red Ridinghood again without thinking about sex  :-[
