Any Ideas?

I really like the film "BRAZIL" I think it's GREAT.
--Written and Directed by: Terry Gilliam--




But when i saw it in the theater one guy stood up about halfway through it and literally shouted in frustration
"WHAT KIND OF MOVIE IS THIS!?" and marched out of the theater.

Cannonball Run

Smokey and the Bandit

Any Which Way But Loose

Blues Brothers - very old movie, but still one of the greatest car chase scenes in history! Plus, Ackroyd and Belushi were great in it.

The Book of Eli

Django Unchained

I see you like those "cerebral" films.

McClintock!

A lot of his movies are. The Birds. Vertigo. There is a movie in which Gregory Peck has amnesia I can't recall the name of.

Pun intended?

Depends. I like horror films from the 20s 30s and 40s. Once they turned into slasher flicks I'm out. Being gross and offensive just to be gross and offensive with no real plot? Nah.

If you want a movie with meaning, watch Metropolis. Was made around 1920 but it is a PERFECT prediction of what we have become.

I love the 60's Vincent Price, etc., horror movies. They are cheesy and fun; never any gore or slasher junk.

My absolute fave was the original House on Haunted Hill. (The remake was awful).

I have that movie.

Torture movies are the best, like Hostel and Saw. There are some good foreign flicks like that too. Then you have classics like the disgusting "human centipede" flicks, Martyrs, The Experiment was great. swapping out prisoners with the guards and see how it plays out, Funny Games, 100 feet, Vile...

Pulp fiction, reservoir dogs, Jackie brown.

Jackie Brown is the needle in the haystack

That ban was lifted like 15 years ago, following Kubricks death.

Noir has to be right about that. I watched Clockwork Orange a couple of years ago ... shown by the BBC. Maybe it was edited down .. but it was definitely shown.

An old favourite of mine was & is Omega Man. In fact, I can't think of any Charlton Heston film I've ever watched that hasn't been good (the original Planet of the Apes, for example).

V for Vendetta is another favourite. Actually an American film, though set entirely in a dystopian future Britain. I'd challenge anyone to recognise it as American .. even so, the Wachowski Brothers (Matrix trilogy) were behind its action scenes.

Or, Vincent Price movies ... the Dr Phibes ones are great (tongue-in-cheek humour).

How about the Quatermass ones ? The BBC has just shown Quatermass & The Pit.

For sheer, priceless comedy, I'd recommend 'I'm All Right Jack' to anyone. Made by the Boulting Brothers, it was an anti-Union film - the Boulting Bros felt the need to speak out, even then (late Fifties) against British Trade Union lunacy. A Peter Sellers comedy.

Currently, I like any / all Hunger Games movies ...

I didn't understand V for Vendetta until I looked up who and what it was about. Didn't care for it anyway.

Charleton Heston and Burt Lancaster had unique qualities. BOTH actors made something out of nothing. They took lousy movies and made them into something on sheer personality.

Drummond, I am so happy you are still with us. I just wanted to get that out there.

Anyway, I have a question fer ya. You and I have discussed how I have a hearing problem that is a learning disability. I struggle to understand foreign languages like what you speak in Britain . Do you Brits struggle to understand American English?

Was he going somewhere?

[Perianne]

He went bye-bye for a little while. You know how it is, a week without Drummond is a week .... Tyr, finish this poetic sentence for me, please.

That's sweet of you, Perianne. Thank you !

Anyway, I have a question fer ya. You and I have discussed how I have a hearing problem that is a learning disability. I struggle to understand foreign languages like what you speak in Britain .

You are, of course, referring to Welsh ... ... which definitely qualifies as a foreign language (and then some). That's beside the fact that I've been living in Wales for several years, now, and tried to learn it. I failed miserably ...

Not that it matters - Welsh is a dying language, and only a fairly small percentage of even the Welsh can speak it !

I can manage 'Bore Da' (Welsh greeting, meaning 'Good Morning' .. the 'e' in 'Bore' is accented). Just. I've been told I have a talent for pronouncing Welsh (though that's probably with a trace of a Cockney accent, as I'm from north London, originally) .. just not understanding any of it ...

Do you Brit struggle to understand American English?

Basically 'no'. The type of accent normally associated with 'hillbilly-speak', maybe, otherwise, I'd have to say no, and I think that's true of Brits generally. An American accent is easier on the ears than many British ones are, even to me. I struggle with the Geordie accent, for example (North-east England, around Newcastle, Tyne & Wear), or maybe the more impenetrable Scottish variations.

I've seen both the British and American versions of the Jeremy Kyle show. I can honestly say that the American version is easier on the ears than the Brit one !

We ALL have our things to deal with. I vanish when the baby gets dropped in my lap. And I usually don't get any notice. And there are about 4 boards that are duplicates of Jim's original board. The people bounce around. Just depends on who your "friends" are and who is "mad at you".

Besides. Drummond has not submitted an AA form requesting a transfer (which would be denied) so he isn't allowed to even die without permission.
