    Default Any Ideas?

    I think I have exhausted the list of good movies to watch. Is there any 'needle in the haystack' under-rated movies that are not really spoken about any more? I feel like I have got to a point where I have seen all that is good.

    Uh oh. Here we go. I'm a Marine, missy. Here are all the movies I'm not allowed to watch:

    First Blood

    Rambo II

    Saving Private Ryan

    Windtalkers

    Band of Brothers

    The Last Samurai

    I have an issue or two.

    And NO ONE will even allow American Sniper anywhere near me.

    Brits are weird about blaming movies. One dipstick murdered his girlfriend in Hyde Park in 1928 and blamed it on London After Midnight.

    Reflex actions of the nanny state *sigh*. The reaction to any thing that is wrong is to ban something or put a tax on it...

    I have to laugh my butt off at that. We fought a war against our King supposedly because of the the taxes. You come here and try to find something that isn't taxed. It's ridiculous and hypocritical.

    Well in the UK they are thinking of putting a tax on sugar! Because yes there is an obesity problem! So there is a problem and we Brits (not me of course) only seem to have the solution of "ban it" or "tax it".

    The Count of Monte Cristo synopsis / Plot..

    "
    At the age of nineteen, Edmond Dantès seems to have the perfect life. He is about to become the captain of a ship, he is engaged to a beautiful and kind young woman, Mercédès, and he is well liked by almost everyone who knows him. This perfect life, however, stirs up dangerous jealousy among some of Dantès’s so-called friends. Danglars, the treasurer of Dantès’s ship, envies Dantès’s early career success; Fernand Mondego is in love with Dantès’s fiancée and so covets his amorous success; his neighbor Caderousse is simply envious that Dantès is so much luckier in life than he is.
    Together, these three men draft a letter accusing Dantès of treason. There is some truth to their accusations: as a favor to his recently deceased captain, Dantès is carrying a letter from Napoleon to a group of Bonapartist sympathizers in Paris. Though Dantès himself has no political leanings, the undertaking is enough to implicate him for treason. On the day of his wedding, Dantès is arrested for his alleged crimes.
    The deputy public prosecutor, Villefort, sees through the plot to frame Dantès and is prepared to set him free. At the last moment, though, Dantès jeopardizes his freedom by revealing the name of the man to whom he is supposed to deliver Napoleon’s letter. The man, Noirtier, is Villefort’s father. Terrified that any public knowledge of his father’s treasonous activities will thwart his own ambitions, Villefort decides to send Dantès to prison for life. Despite the entreaties of Monsieur Morrel, Dantès’s kind and honest boss, Dantès is sent to the infamous Château d’If, where the most dangerous political prisoners are kept.
    While in prison, Dantès meets Abbé Faria, an Italian priest and intellectual, who has been jailed for his political views. Faria teaches Dantès history, science, philosophy, and languages, turning him into a well-educated man. Faria also bequeaths to Dantès a large treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo, and he tells him how to find it should he ever escape. When Faria dies, Dantès hides himself in the abbé’s shroud, thinking that he will be buried and then dig his way out. Instead, Dantès is thrown into the sea, and is able to cut himself loose and swim to freedom........................"
    ​*Now...the Sweet...delicious revenge begins.....! Awesome movie...
    Full Movie...
