This forum is dying

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

In any case, Klodi - by starting this thread, and attracting a lot of grievances about the same thing from numerous members - you have effectively slayed the troll.

p.s. I hope I didn't just kill this thread...These are now ordained......THE HOLY FILMS

I always liked the The Deep. Richard Harris is always great.
Oops, messed that one up. Harris mixed up with Shaw. :confused:

Tawny Pipit
The Gentle Sex
Betty Blue
Amelie
Dogs in Space

Orlando Bloom over Brad Pitt anyday!

What? Orlando "cry baby" Bloom - never! What about the men like Bronson, Shaw. Pure toughness and respect, none of this i'll cry and get what I want. Grrrrr, they would eat that little mouse for brekky, not that they eat breakfast, they roll their own smokes with more tar and nicotine than tobacco and drink a few pints and then go out and save the day.

But what about Orlando's characters, he sits around going, "oh oh I love her, nothing matters but my love" while everyone dies around him. Vomit vomit vomit.

I'd even take Reg from The Bill over OB.

How about the new James Bond? See that? WOW.

:p It's been a hectic week! and to think I've missed all these shenanigans. What happened to Marge? LOL just when i was getting used to all the avatars, you guys have to up and change everything ;)

So much for my original post. Just how long is this thread now, anyways.


ETA: 17 pages! :eek: and I'm only on page 5. LOL can't wait to read all these spirited posts
Girlfriend!! We missed ya! You missed us changing our avatars, like, every 15 minutes it seemed, in a hottie contest. You're going to have to give up Klodi, or at least find a better picture of him, lol.

I actually forgot to put my favorite movie of all time, The Long Hot Summer with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, plus:

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Cool Hand Luke
Hang'em High

and to prove I'm a girl, Wuthering Heights, the new one with Ralph Fiennes
The English Patient
Sense & Sensibility
Emma

Also, if someone can admit they liked Hooper, then I will put my guilty pleasure down as Dude, Where's My Car? and Joe Dirt.

Most quoted in my household: Caddyshack and The Water Boy

It is quite obvious that I am the dark brooding one here. I just love the "feel bad" movies. I remember seeing To Live and Die in LA, and being so happy that the hero got blown away with a shotgun in the end. I do have guilty pleasures like Caddyshack and Joe Dirt, but usually only see them once or twice. I have seen Apocalypse Now well over 40 times. I am definately hard to please when it comes to movies. Here are some others that are not so dark:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
White
Blue
Red
Night on Earth
Reflecting Skin (OK, actually, that is probably THE darkest, but still a great movie)
Anchorman
Napoleon Dynamite
Heat (especially the 15 or so minutes after they walk out of the bank)
Tora! Tora! Tora!
A Bridge too Far
The Bridge of the River Kwai
My Favorite Year
Three Kings
Evil Dead 2

Wow, I could literally go on for hours

No Reservoir Dogs? That's pretty uplifting. :p

Seriously, I think I have early onset of Alzheimer's, because I forgot the best movie -- Office Space. About A Boy is great too.

OK...WORST MOVIES???? Quest For Fire (sorry Bro), Cabin Boy, Water World...who's got worse ones? See you guys in a couple of days.........

Ooh, I forgot about To Live and Die in LA. One of the best car chases ever. I am really not too pleased with the CGI car stuff in movies like The Fast and the Furious. And the overly edited chase scenes in movies like The Transporter remind me of the difference between fights with extended spans of no editing in HK movies and one second snippets of film that are edited together to form Hollywood fight scenes.

I never got what all the hub bub was about American Beauty.

I was never a big fan of Once Upon a Time in America. I remember it as being ponderous and slow, much like I remember Once Upon a Time in the West.

It has been a long time since I saw Salvadore. This was from a time before Oliver Stone lost it and could write and direct a decent flick.

Pulp Fiction rocks. What else can be said other than it is too bad that Tarantino seems to be trying too hard on everything he did after this. I haven't seen Death Proof yet but hear good things about it.

I have never seen Before Sunrise. Generally I like Ethan Hawke's movies so I will have to check this out.

I don't think Jaws holds up very well. Perhaps because it has been copied so much. I like the animatronic shark a lot more than the bad CGI stuff they often use today; it looks a lot more real.

The Killing Fields depressed me. I don't think I would want to watch it again.

Casablanca is an Fing great with an incredible script. I love the Bogart films of that era. Treasure of Sierra Madre, Sahara, The Maltese Falcon, The Caine Mutiny, etc.

The Bad News Bears I barely recall. I think I saw it on TV once. There were two or three sequels if I remember right.

Hooper does indeed suck. I caught it on cable a few months ago. It is better than the Smokey and the Bandit movies... It is Burt Reynolds being Burt Reynolds. Boy, did he go downhill after Deliverance.

I always liked the The Deep. Richard Harris is always great.I threw in Hooper to see if people were paying attention. Probably one of the worst films ever.

I should have thought about the list more. Chinatown should be on it.

OK...WORST MOVIES???? Quest For Fire (sorry Bro), Cabin Boy, Water World...who's got worse ones? See you guys in a couple of days......... Hey, Quest for Fire is an interesting movie. No dialogue. Sabretooth tigers. Cannibals. A naked Rae Dawn Chong. Anyway, it's different, which is what will generally make me happy with a movie.

Waterworld was a bad movie, but it was nearly a cinematic masterpiece compared to some of the crap I have sat through in the last few years. I am talking about steaming piles like Stealth, Ultraviolet, Matrix Revolutions, Rollerball, Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny, Date Movie, Gigli, Bloodrayne, Catwoman, Van Helsing, the Star Wars prequels, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, I Spy, and Charie's Angels: Full Throttle.

I thought Time Cop and Maximum Risk were okay. At least Van Damme kept in shape. I think Seagal gained ten pounds per movie through the first part of his career. You watch Above the Law these days and it's like, "Whoa, I forgot that Seagal used to be thin."

Yea, Seagal was almost as bad an actor as Chuck Norris.
