[SLH]

memento

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Would these all be DVD?

Thats quite a collection you have there

 

[ComradeBadger]

Add Blackball to that list, stat

 

[Yuri]

Yeah, they are all DVD. Thanks

And Momento is a good one, too, thanks

I'm terribly sorry for not using the search button and seeing this.

Never heard of Blackball, I'll have to look it up.

Oh yeah, I also want to see Monster.

 

[KagePrototype]

Add Blackball to that list, stat

So underrated, so overlooked...

Oh, and Platoon.

 

[FoB_Ed]

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

 

[westie]

Kill bill 1/2 maybe some Jet Li movies perhaps Futurama if you like the simpsons.

 

[ComradeBadger]

So underrated, so overlooked...

Oh, and Platoon.

I make it my mission to make people watch it.

I add 'Catch Me If You Can'

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Catch me if you can eh...

It was good I suppose but I would recomend other Tom Hanks films over that really. I know he wasnt the only star, but children don't count

 

[Yuri]

Hehe, already up there, brother Big damn list, eh?

Futurama is great, too. And up there

Has anyone seen the new Tom Hanks movie The Terminal? I loved it.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I'm really wanting to see that. it looks very good. Its weird, I actually really like Tom Hanks even though I've never really thought about his acting that much. I dunno, hes sort of unnoticed with me. I love all of his films, but I never took notice of his skill.


Apocalypse Now is on your list I love that film.


Why do you have 2 action "sections"?

 

[CrazyHarij]

I'm bad at listing things, I always end up missing shitloads of stuff.

 

[KagePrototype]

Why do you have 2 action "sections"?

One list is what he has, the other is what he plans to get.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Oh yes...I didn't notice that bit.

Pff...Your list isnt nearly as good now

 

[Sprafa]

I cannot believe you don't have Fight Club in there. EDIT 2 : there is Fight Club there, WTF is up with "find in this page"

 

[DarkStar]

You've got alot of good movies. I'm kinda depressed right now because a ton of my DVDs were recently stolen.

 

[Slipner]

Dude no movie collection is complete without the Ace ventura 1 & 2,
still its an nice collection you got there.

 

[SLH]

Baseketball

 

[Yuri]

Oh yes...I didn't notice that bit.

Pff...Your list isnt nearly as good now

;( But its still good, especially for being only about 2 months old

You've got alot of good movies. I'm kinda depressed right now because a ton of my DVDs were recently stolen.

I'm sorry to hear that!

Dude no movie collection is complete without the Ace ventura 1 & 2,

Heh, not a big fan of those movies.

Baseketball

Isn't that the movie starring the creators of South Park?

 

[SLH]

Isn't that the movie starring the creators of South Park?

Yep. I think they wrote (some of) it as well. Not sure though.

 

[oldagerocker]

Some of baseketball i found hilarious, well, one bit strikes me.. the part where they are in the changing rooms... i say no more.

Anyway, i have a very small collection, i buy pc games over films these days, i do have :

Saving Private Ryan
LOTR: Fellowship (extended)
LOTR: Two Towers (extended)
A Beautiful Mind < great film imo
Donnie Darko
SwordFish - it was going cheap.

and, well, i think thats it.. i definatly need to get back into buying DVD's, there's so many greats i need.

I recommend all the tarantino movies, they are superb, esp the Kill Bill's, Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, Killing Zoe, and Natural Born Killers.

 

[Tinneth]

I have but 4 words to say:

Back to the Future

 

[SLH]

Some of baseketball i found hilarious, well, one bit strikes me.. the part where they are in the changing rooms... i say no more.

Yeah, that bit cracked me up as well.

 

[SLH]

I have but 4 words to say:

Back to the Future

Agreed.

 

[Kadayi]

'Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind' and '21 grams' when they come out on DVD (later this month I believe), 2 of the best films in the last 12 months.

 

[Top Secret]

*Top walks into the thread with a silenced 9mm in hand*

*Top sees Boondock Saints is all ready on the list*

*Top walks out of the thread*

'Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind' and '21 grams' when they come out on DVD (later this month I believe), 2 of the best films in the last 12 months.

All my friends hated Eternal Sunshine, i absolutely loved it, it had such depth and really made you think, (especially about Ex's)... they want to see car chases etc in the films, i thought this was great though. well worth buying on dvd.

 

[Sprafa]

You have to get The Siege.

 

[galoot3000]

the cowboy bebop movie, and the eva series, and FLCL.

it seems that you dont like anime though, not owning any.....

 

[Yuri]

Saving Private Ryan...
A Beautiful Mind < great film imo...
SwordFish - it was going cheap...
...Natural Born Killers...

The first two are good, but SWORDFISH?! Heh. And I hear that Natural Born Killers is about as good as something that isn't good.

By the way, Eternal Sunshine for a Spotless Mind is definately one of my favorite flicks ever made. It is especially good because it is recent

I'm not a big fan of Animé, although I do sort of like Hellsing, Cowboy Beebop and I think Excel Saga is hilarious.

The Siege is good, then, eh?

AH! I didn't forget Back to the Future! I swear! I just didn't list it because my father has it and I can borrow it whenever. Same thing with Blade Runner, but I'm going to end up buying that because he has the crappy Director's Cut (came free with the DVD player )

And whats 21 grams, never heard of it.

EDIT: 777 post, I missed it

 

[Mechagodzilla]

28 Days Later, Panic Room and anything MST3K.
