Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Today when I got home, I decided I wanted to watch a movie. I go over to my entertainment center and begin to sit, and 30 minutes later I can't find a movie I want to watch. It is then at that moment I realize that my movie collection is well... Crappy (As in not a whole lot of selection, since I usually just rent movies). So here is your job, provide me a list of your most favorite movies excluding ones from the list below. Thank you. - Any star wars film - Any LotR film - Any alien or predator movie - Any matrix film - Any comic made to movie - Any terminator movie And please no Heavily romantic movies, since I know I have them all now since my girl friend moved in with me Oh and also make sure they are in DVD format, since my VHS player crapped out on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also depends on the particular genres you like... Anyway, I'd recommend these... Science Fiction Blade Runner Forbidden Planet The War Of The Worlds The Time Machine (60's version) The Invisible Man (30's version with Claude Raines) King Kong (original 30's version) Soylent Green A Boy And His Dog Planet Of The Apes (original with Charlton Heston) THX 1138 2001: A Space Odyssey Solaris (original Russian version) The Thing (from Another World) The Day The Earth Stood Still The Day The Earth Caught Fire Total Recall Equilibrium The Incredible Shrinking Man The Abyss: Special Edition This Island Earth (hehe) Pitch Black Mad Max Silent Running Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (original BW version) Minority Report War The Boat (German - better to see the full series rather than the 'condensed' film) Apocalypse Now (original rather than Redux) Dirty War Where Eagles Dare Kelly's Heroes Guns Of Navarone The Dirty Dozen Battle Of The Bulge Zeppelin The Hill Saving Private Ryan Westerns Heaven's Gate (full 4 hour version - not the crappy 'condensed' version) Once Upon A Time In The West The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Unforgiven A Fistful Of Dynamite Destry Rides Again (Jimmy Stewart on top form) Historical Braveheart The 13th Warrior Rob Roy Gladiator Henry V (Kenneth Branaugh version) Hamlet (Mel Gibson version - well, I liked it) The Brotherhood Of The Wolf (semi-fantastical but based on historical fact - French) The Horseman On The Roof (French) Le Bosu (Recent version - French) The Three Musketeers (Michael York, Oliver Reed, Albert Finney, Richard Chamberlain, version) The Four Musketeers (same cast) Fantasy Jason And The Argonauts (60s version) Dragonheart Any of the Sinbad movies Reign of Fire (crap plot but the dragons are well done) Horror An American Werewolf In London The Keep (not sure it's available on DVD) The Changeling The Man Who Haunted Himself Halloween (the original) The Thing (John Carpenter's) Life Force Tremors Deep Rising Them Scanners The Frighteners Cast A Deadly Spell (comic horror) The Evil Dead The Evil Dead II Evil Dead 3: Army Of Darkness Blade Action/General Leon (I think it's known as The Professional in the US - with Jean Reno) Lethal Weapon 1, 2 or 3 Ronin Kiss Of The Dragon Any James Bond movie True Lies (weak in the middle) The Bourne Identity The Ipcress File Highlander Timebomb (with Michael Biehn) The Edge Blind Fury The Conversation (spiritual precursor of Enemy Of The State) Kiss Me Deadly It's A Wonderful Life The Right Stuff The Silent Flute Hard Target Dante's Peak The Replacement Killers The 39 Steps (Robert Powell version) Hell, if you can't find anything out of that lot that you might like, then I give in.
