I love “Roadie” over all films because it makes me really laugh and cry. It’s got Meatloaf, Roy Orbison, Blondie and Alice Cooper has an acting part in it. I never tire of it… second to that is “cool hand luke” with Paul Newman

Anything by Monty Python. Ever since I first seen The Holy Grail I’m rather leery of rabbits.

“Behind the Green Door”. A true classic.

The acting is suburb, the special effects are out of this world, and the plot is very clever and intriguing. I could watch it over and over with out getting tired of seeing it. I think it was ahead of it’s time but very under-rated. The cinematography was innovative too.

The last three are mine ones of favourites too!:grinning:

It depends on which movie I watched last. Enception is very good, though it is a little confusing at the beginning. There is a kind of obscure film with Al Pacino in it called “People I Know” that I liked a lot. Al Pacino has incredible range as an actor.

Lion King because Hakuna Matata!

Did you watch the modern day prequel, also called the thing? Was ok but not as good as the 80s one. Have also got the 50s original movie in b&w.

I prefer the 80s version with Kurt Russel.
One of my favorites for sure!

The special effects still look pretty good today. Had zero cgi.

Question - you know right at the end there is only Kurt Russel and the black guy left. Do you think either one of them was infected? I never did myself but someone suggested to me it is supposed to be left as a cliffhanger.

Yes, I was shocked that Marilyn Chambers didn’t win an Academy Award.

In that genre, I’m more inclined towards Pizza Boy: He Delivers, a true cinematic masterpiece.

Yeah, she was robbed. Maybe she will get a “lifetime achievement award” at next years Oscars though.

She should. Ron Jeremy might disagree.
