Old Movies you didn't know about

[KelJu]

I just watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest last night. That movie was freaking awesome. I can't believe I had never even heard of it until one of my buddies at work told me about it.


I also missed The Usual Suspects when it first came out, but went back and downloaded it. That movie rocks.


With movies blowing goats for quarters these days, I find myself going back to revisit some treasures that I missed the first time around. What I did was wejnt to IMDB and looked at their top 250 movies of all time lsit. I downlaoded any of the movies that I had never heard of, and most of them rocked. Here is a list of some of the others that I thought were pretty cool.

Schindler's List
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
Taxi Driver
Apocalypse Now
The Grapes of Wrath

Galaxy Quest Was very underrated and missed by a lot of people.

It has a great script and stars Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, Sigourny Weaver, Tony Shalhoub and Sam Rockwell.

I hear that. Haven't been to the movies in so long because of the crap that comes out. I'd rather re-watch DVD's in my collection or discover classics like you're talking about. Older movies I finally got around to watching that I liked:

Raging Bull
Hoop Dreams
Midnight Express
Beverly Hills Cop
Endless Summer II
The Freshman
West Side Story

If you think the movie is worth watching, I'll skip the spoiler and download the movie.

Hell yes. You'll laugh your ass off during the "Lassie" scene!

Have you been living in a cave? Those movies are all classics that I have seen more than once.....you need to get a tv and watch AMC or FLIX or IFC....I get in at least 2 new movies a week watching those channels.....

 

[maniclion]

Fletch was on the other night I forgot how much I loved that movie....

 

[maniclion]

You should watch The Fountainhead and A Scanner Darkly.....

 

[Doublebase]

Raging Bull is good.

 

[DOMS]

Popeye, staring Robin Williams.

A very underrated movie. In my opinion, it was the first movie to create a surreal environment, ala Tim Burton.

"I'm no physicist, but I know what matters!"
"I'm no doctor, but I'm losing my patience!"

And you'd swear that Robin really was Popeye and Shelly really was Olive.

Endless Summer II

What a great movie.

 

[Doublebase]

I'll take...none of it.

 

[DOMS]

Saving room for penis?

No, getting rid of my TV is the best thing I ever did.

 

[Goodfella9783]

What a great movie.

So good. I caught it on IFC a few months ago and was blown away. Makes we want to move to some tropical place like Hawaii and surf my life away. Definately a DVD purchase worthy flick.

 

[shiznit2169]

Dude, you need to see the "12 angry men"

Classic

 

[maniclion]

The Lost Weekend is a pretty good movie.......and Pollock
Adaptation w/ Nick Cage as well as Leaving Las Vegas, if you've never seen that I'll make you choke yourself......

One of my all time favorites, by one of the greatest directors of all times, the one and only Stanly Cubric.


A clockwork Orange is a great older movie, but it isn't one that I missed. I have it on my computer and I have watched it about 50 times.

I didn't see this movie until about five years after it was out. . .one of Spielberg's best.

Yup, Clock Work is good. Here's a few more

A Clockwork Orange ( the 9th )
Pulp Fiction
Natural Born Killers
Hard Candy
The Boondock Saints
TrainSpotting
What Dreams May Come ( great color )
Requiem For a Dream
Hard Candy

Any of the curse of the yellow flower, hero, Jet-Li movies are great. The colors are amazing for just a night of enjoying yourself. Looks amazing.

Is that the Shenandoah that was made back in the early-mid 1960's?


Something probably not able to get online:

A Foreign Field

A Thousand Acres

But what about this gem?

[fufu]

Sergeant York, Mr. Smith goes to Washington

A couple of good old ones.

That would be the one.

God I hate Jane Fonda. And Woody Allen ... I hate his lil pedo ass too.

Speaking of great movies, Henry and June is on HBO...one of my all time faves about Henry Miller (author of Tropic of Cancer, et al) and Anais Nin (writer of a life long journal that is erotically poetic but wasn't published until after her death) anyway the movie is about he and she having an afair and Anais gets lesbo with Henry's wife June in 1930's Paris......it's a great look into the world of great writers, and the artistic mind...
