Going to the Movies: past, present, future.

I still like that Texas Western:

No Country for Old Men (2007)
Anton Chigurh: What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss.
Gas Station Proprietor: Sir?
Anton Chigurh: The most. You ever lost. On a coin toss.
Gas Station Proprietor: I don't know. I couldn't say.
[Chigurh flips a quarter from the change on the counter and covers it with his hand]
Anton Chigurh: Call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Call it?
Anton Chigurh: Yes.
Gas Station Proprietor: For what?
Anton Chigurh: Just call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Well, we need to know what we're calling it for here.
Anton Chigurh: You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.
Gas Station Proprietor: I didn't put nothin' up.
Anton Chigurh: Yes, you did. You've been putting it up your whole life you just didn't know it. You know what date is on this coin?
Gas Station Proprietor: No.
Anton Chigurh: 1958. It's been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Look, I need to know what I stand to win.
Anton Chigurh: Everything.
Gas Station Proprietor: How's that?
Anton Chigurh: You stand to win everything. Call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Alright. Heads then.
[Chigurh removes his hand, revealing the coin is indeed heads]
Anton Chigurh: Well done.
[the gas station proprietor nervously takes the quarter with the small pile of change he's apparently won while Chigurh starts out]
Anton Chigurh: Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.
Gas Station Proprietor: Where do you want me to put it?
Anton Chigurh: Anywhere not in your pocket. Where it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin........ Which it is.

One of my favorite films.

Coin Toss

 

[Town Heretic]

One of my favorite films.

Man...I hated that one too.

I'm more of a The Searchers...or more recently, Open Range sort of western fan.

I thought No Country had a sorrowful soul. It was like some of the Texas landscape you can ride across on those seemingly endless interstate stretches. Bleak.

[Sum1sGruj]

Full Metal Jacket :first:

 

[some other dude]

Oh yeah! :thumb:


And Apocalypse Now

 

[Rusha]

WHAT!!!! I like De Niro in anything!

He is a great actor. My favorite De Niro movie was "Cape Fear".

 

[some other dude]

John Cusack - Gross Pointe Blank and Identity

 

[Angel4Truth]

I really like john cusack - he certainly ages well too

I like robert De Niro too - liked casino even though its a pretty rough movie

 

[Tambora]

John Cusack - Gross Pointe Blank and Identity

What was the name of that movie with John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton, where they were airline traffic controllers?
I can't recall the name of it, but the scene where they stand on the runway while a jet lands ..... and they go flying across the runway was hilarious!!!!

 

[some other dude]

Pushing Tin - another great one!

Pushing Tin scene

 

[aCultureWarrior]

This is the last movie I went to see in a theater (pretty intense).

Denzel be one bad...

 

[Arthur Brain]

One of my favorite films.

Coin Toss

Yeh, I think it's The Coen Brothers best personally. People either seem to love or hate this film....

Anybody a Bond fan? Connery used to be my favorite Bond, but Daniel Craig has usurped his place in my heart - he is a grittier, more human character with darker moods.

My child is a Bond fanboi. He has all the movies, read the Ian Fleming books when he was younger - and even wears the same cologne Bond wears in the books - Flores #89. He has to order it from London. lain: He even looks like a younger Craig. Maybe I can hire him out as a double!

What's your favorite Bond movie?

I'll always loved Goldeneye (1995), but the new ones with Daniel Craig are indeed awesome. Much more realistic, and DC is masterful in his role.

I've never really watched much of the classics. I'm with the new school as far as Bond goes.

I grew up on Bond. The old ones are quite good - you should check them out. .

I just saw The Help during the New Year holiday. That was really good.

Schindler's List
The Color Purple
Shawshank Redemption
Birdman of Alcatraz

I liked it a lot! I hadn't read the book so didn't really know what to expect, and I really enjoyed it. It's one I'll be seeing again.
