Yes, I am easily amused these days...

John

Some great ones listed but I don't think anyone has mentioned "Man On Fire" with Denzel. Great flick.


For funny try "Drop Dead Gorgeous" from 1999. Kirsten Dunst and Denise Richards. Stupid Funny. My favorite line "We're going to use the money to get mamma a proper headstone ... and move her down to the cemetery."

Man on Fire is good.

For another modern western set in the SW try The Three Burials of Miguel Estrada

Classic western?

Red River.

Josey Wales was good but sadly Sandra Locke was in it, she was not a very good actress and brought down any film she was in.

Osky

The Hunt for Red October is my all time favorite.

ZeroZeroZero. Mix between Narcos Mexico and Gomorrah (Italian mafia) with some American smugglers thrown in. Plot pivots between 3 global locations, hopping back and forth between episodes. Complete with Gomorrah type music.

I think so as well. But I think it would be harder to understand if you haven't seen the first one. I liked them both a LOT, and went to see them twice.

I would have to say that at least close to my favorite would have to be Man On Fire, with Denzel Washington.

If I could only have one movie it would probably be “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot” Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, George Kennedy 1974. Saw it at a drive-in, made an impression on me as a kid.

Exactly, Too bad the book 'Point of Impact' and movie 'Shooter' did not do the same. That had potential to be awesome, ended up ok.

The Wild Bunch.

Greatest sports movie - who can forget Caddyshack.

and greatest non fiction movies, who can forget Airplane

finally, greatest western - Blazing Saddles

Miracle (not magic as originally posted in stupidity) story of the 1980 Olympic hockey team.

Kurt Russell did a great job I thought.

Donnie Darko...the directors cut.

Also liked the Tim Burton animated film The Corpse Bride.

As a kid, the scene where the chick is standing nekkid at the sliding glass door with her bush in full display indeed left a lasting impression...🤣

I sat down and watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood fully expecting to shut it off as soon as the social justice bs came on. I was pleasantly surprised and have watched it twice now. Good movie and script.

All the classics already listed but I'll always sit down to watch Ronin again. Great movie.



EthanEdwards you have a good eye. Great movie. Nobody can sneer like a young Brando. Karl Malden is great too. Only reason I've seen that obscure movie (more than once) is because I inherited some old box set of classic westerns on dvd. Watch them at the off the grid cabin.

It’s called Miracle.

But yes, great movie.

Based upon events in the life of John Glanton, #2 man under Jack Hays when the Texas Rangers went into Mexico.

If you enjoyed this, you will love "Hell or High Water". It appears to be just another bank robbery film by a couple of Texas cowboys, but you soon start to relealize every thing that happens is important to the entire film. It stars Jeff Bridges as a Texas Ranger about to retire and Gil Birmingham as his Indian-Mexican sidekick. The amount of grief that Bridges puts Birmingham thru is hilarious if you like off color, entirely non-politically correct humor. I watch it at least once a year, one of Bridges best roles in my opinion.

Some great movies here.

For motivation once in a while I'll watch that Viking epic "The Thirteenth Warrior" for the positive thinking in the whole thing,

"Ride With the Devil" about Missouri irregulars in the War of Secession never gets old either.

Along the same lines, the 1992 edition of "Last of the Mohicans" is pure escapist fare too
