Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Guffaw guffaw. I don't really have a top three, so I'll just list as many as I see fit:1. Pirates of the Caribbean2. The Road to Perdition3. 28 Days Later (great bit of British film-making)4. Starsky & Hutch!5. Master & CommanderDEFINITELY NOT ANY OF THE MATRIX SERIES!p.s JMD, I hear The Day After Tomorrow is the new Independence Day? Not only from the same directors, but it looks cooler p.p.s Can we name a play too? Mine's Habeas Corpus by Alan Bennett Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 p.p.p.s Forgot the classics! The Ladykillers and The Great Escape doh! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 My faviorite films would be:1. Zulu.2. Zulu dawn.3. Master and Commander.4. The great Escape.5. The League of extraordinary gentlemen.As you have probably guessed I like action films especially when it involves the Britosh kicking the a*se of the Zulu's! Quote
Sylvester Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 three's tough... how about 10? (in no particular order)10) The Towering Inferno9) Italian Job (the Original!)8) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid7) Airplane!6) Who Framed Roger Rabbit?5) Die Hard (all three of them)4) Tombstone3) Carry on Cabby2) Indiana Jones; Raiders of the Lost Ark1) Indiana Jones; The Last CrusadeWhat can i say i like films with humour! And i'm partial to British films, i really can't stand flag waving US films.I can't believe i couldn't get Hot Shots part Deux in there, Willow, or Casablanca... All of which are amusing in their own ways.And i'm ashamed to admit it but i like the Harry Potter films too, i didn't think i would but when i watched them they were amusing enough to grab my attention, oh that and the Ford Anglia...

Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Are you kidding? It's got 4/5 stars across the board! Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 Are you kidding? It's got 4/5 stars across the board! thats only 80%, but still, 4/5 is good enough... 9) Italian Job (the Original!)yea, i liked that Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Bloody hell "thats only 80%" What planet are you on? Rarely do films get 5* so just can it. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I didn't say that I hate the film, in fact I will go and see it next week-end, it looks good. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 It wasn't you I was getting at, HPJ, it was JMD Quote
Geoff T Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Whats your top 3 favourite films?mine would probably be:1.Independance day2.Swordfish3.Sphere Frankly, I think "Independence day" was one of the worst pieces of formulaic Hollywood good guys/bad guys crap I've ever seen. I'd go for (again in no particular order, excerpt that the top one is the all-time favourite).Jesus de MontrealLe phantome de la liberteAll quiet on the Western FrontSome like it hotPriestCasablancaAmerican beautyPsychoBrief encounterGoodbye, Lenin Quote
Sylvester Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Ah a fellow Casablanca Fan!Yeah i though Independence Day was awful, too patriotic for my liking. Quote
Geoff T Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Did you know that the actor originally lined up to play the Bogart role in "Casablanca" was - Ronald Reagan - and that they had two different endings ready but didn't tell the actors until the last minute? Quote

I didn't know Ronald Reagan was down for that, i'm glad it went to Bogart! Can you imagine Reagan? It'd be like that quote from Airplane... "I haven't felt this bad since i saw that Ronald Reagan movie!" as she reaches for the sick bag... I had heard about an alternative ending though! I do believe the Simpsons made fun of that one...

Emperor Oli Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Geoff is wrong! And it's been debunked by one of my favourite sites too! Quote
Master Jmd Posted June 1, 2004 Author Posted June 1, 2004 Geoff is wrong! And it's been debunked by one of my favourite sites too! lol, well found and a first for you geoff Quote
Sylvester Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 This is before we get to the miss quotes... who said 'play it again Sam'?Roger Moore did in Moonraker.Bogart never said it, he is often misquoted as saying it, but what he actually said was...'play it!' Quote
