Hi guys,

So, listening to my bud Zombieslayer rant about the misgivings of Robert Rodriguez led me to make a great movie thread. Personal favourites, obscure jems, movies that are so bad they are good, any and all! Post some of your movies, who knows, we might find one which makes us say "Holy shit, I almost forgot about that and would never have seen it again until you reminded me"

Ok,

A Fish Called Wanda

Fantastic comedy. Makes me laugh so hard.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

A Man Called Horse

I find this movie captivating, in the castaway sense. When their is a communication barrier and you have to really pay attention to the literal actions of an actor.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Amores Perros

Fantastic cinematography with three intertwining storyliines, really good to watch.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

A Streetcar Named Desire

Marlon. The Man.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Singin' in the Rain

My favourite musical. There is something very wholesome about Gene Kelly's performance that appeals to my raw romantic side. His performance in the title track is often duplicated but will never ever be replicated.

This is why I'm so anti-Academy Awards. Forrest freaking Gump, which was a dumb movie, beat out this movie? I thought it was a joke at first. Love that cover too. Cute girl with a cigarette, a pulp fiction novel, and a handgun. That's like pr0n for me.

Another great movie. I don't know what happened between Eastwood and Leone but they seem to hate each other. Leone would rather have a kidney removed than give Eastwood a compliment. Regardless, one of the few "perfect" movies where I can't think of anything I'd change.

Now if you say "favorite movies," my list would be much different from ones I liked that I considered "great."

My word. I can go on for days.

I have to differentiate my favorite movies from "great" movies though. Ladyhawke was far from a great movie but it's one of my all-time favorites because for one, it's a fantasy movie that wasn't horrible (happens rarely), and for another, even with shorter hair, Michelle Pfeiffer's a babe (I already got dibs, Wade).

So great movies?

Sometimes when I walk, I slow down, I walk deliberately, with a stern look on my face, know why?

Enrico Morricone has just come on my ipod.

I think one of Eastwood's more underrated movies was Two Mules. The first time I watched it was when I was intoxicated, and it actually bought me back to sobriety in such a nice way.

When she lights up a cigarette, so hawt.

Pulp Fiction to me is actually underrated, as crazy as that sounds.

Instantly quotable. Great soundtrack, and fearless when with controversy.

The Marcellus in the redneck dungeon scenes were pure class.

Funny little factoid, Tarantino calls "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" the best movie ever made. Yes, I think "Pulp Fiction" is underrated. Although it didn't have anything original, it was a flawless movie. There's nothing about it I'd change.

I like some of the more obscure scenes. Like for instance, I find that Colombian taxi driver sexy.

Yeah, love Enrico's soundtrack. Knew an Indian (dot, not feather) guy who could make that do-do-do-do-do whomp whomp whomp sound perfectly to the point that it cracked me up every time he did it.

I've never seen Two Mules nor any of the Dirty Harry movies. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to Eastwood.

Okay, maybe not my all-time favorite, but a movie that's pretty funny, yet, no one seems to like.

I watched this film not long ago, it's one of tose that slipped through the net.

Being an avid South Park fan, I just didn't find it gut-busting..I think I will always attribute Matt and Trey to that brand of humor though they didn't even direct the thing.

Good call though, this was in my forgotten memoir.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
