| Posted By: Eros Jul 28, 2004 - 06:05 pm | | Jesus, thats a lot of movies to think about. I wouldn't know where to begin. Just make sure the classics are in there. Because if it weren't for those, we wouldn't have the films we have today.
Citizen Kane
The Searchers
Cool Hand Luke
Gone With The Wind
East of Eden
Rebel Without a Cause
and one short film I love
An Occurence At Owl Creek Bridge
Uh, that's about all I could think about off the top of my head.
Eros some members here maybe offend by your use [edit. Bmat] in the way you used it.
[Edit. See email. Bmat]
| Posted By: Eros Jul 28, 2004 - 07:17 pm | | Sorry I didn't know y'all were a bunch of bible thumpers.
This doesn't seem like a god type of place.
I'm an atheist if anyone's curious.
| Posted By: Bmat Jul 28, 2004 - 07:21 pm | | It's a mixture of people and beliefs. Although the term you used is not on the excluded words list, it doesn't appear much here because it can cause offense with certain uses.
| Posted By: Magus Jul 28, 2004 - 07:47 pm | | I also am going to add Fight Club. Awsome movie.
| Posted By: Caltana Jul 29, 2004 - 04:41 am | | Don't forget 'Dune,''Brazil,' '12 Monkeys,' 'The Fifth Element,' and '1984.'
| Posted By: Magus Jul 29, 2004 - 05:06 am | | Wasn't Dune a mini-series?
| Posted By: Sindatur Jul 29, 2004 - 06:53 am | | The Original Version of Dune (Kyle McLaughlin and Patrick Stewart, amongst others) was a theater released movie around 3 hours long (and then expanded, and shown as Mini-series on TV). The remake (and Children of Dune the following year) by Scifi Channel was made as a Mini Series. However, if you are going to include Lord of the Rings or Matrix (etc) as Trilogies, then Mini-Series pretty much fall in the same category, unless you want to disqualify "Made for TV".
As long as we going for Classics as well, Wizard of Oz (1939 version with Judy Garland).
| Posted By: Magus Jul 29, 2004 - 08:07 am | | No, made for tv are included. Which reminds me about Brian's Song. Good movie. In the cases you point out then I guess I would include it. I have it, my sister actually, and have not yet seen the whole thing. I've been meening to ever since I read the book. Good book, can't wait to see what the mini series is like.
-The Life of Brian
-King Kong
-Akira
-Conan the Barbarian
-Frankinstein
-The Day the Earth Stood Still
-Godzilla (original)
-Planet of the Apes
-Total Recall
-Earth Girls Are Easy
-Naked Lunch
-The Lawnmower Man
-Alice in Wonderland (animated)
| Posted By: Eros Jul 29, 2004 - 05:02 pm | | Well since it's not on the excluded words list I'll still use it whenever I feel the desire to. Because I am an atheist I have no fear of god and can therfore say what I please, whether you deem it blasphemous or not.
Thank You.
And here's another title for the movie list:
Boogie Nights.

We're talking about movies, not religion, and he just stated that you said something that offended him. Unless you like being offensive and are trying to start a flame war over religion, just say 'sorry, didn't mean to offend'.
You don't care if we're christians, i don't care if you're atheist so how about we just keep the post on subject, yes?
Just because you have an opinion does not make it right.
