Smokey and the Bandit - ace films.

Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back is ace - gotta love those AT-AT's!

Hyper · Post by **Hyper** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 3:48 am

Off the top of my head :
Blade Runner - sci-fi
French Connection/Bullit - car chase
Pulp Fiction/Training Day - high intensity
Life of Brian - religious mockery
Gandhi - accurate historical drama
Pink Panther - comedy/slapstick/farce
Outlaw Josey Wales - American civil War
Diamonds are Forever - Bond & exceptional car stunt

Terminator 2 (not 3, god no not 3!)
Equilibrium (makes the matrix look like a confusing, no point waste of time)
The Italian Job (Mmmm Minis)
Ronin ("I'll need a big car, something that can really shovel it, an Audi S8 should do... and we'll need to rig up some sort of nitrous oxide system" or words to that effect)
Leon (obviously)
Return of the Jedi (yes thats right, I am a geek)
Jason X (its so bad that I watch it just to cheer myself up!)
The Transporter (That seen with the BMW at the begining makes the whole film worth it)
Dog Soldiers (well I'll count, won't I?)
Rocky 1,2,3,4,5 (they make me want to be a boxer)
The Fast And The Furious (I know it has no plot, acting or any particular story line but whenever Vin Deisel starts going on about how he lives his life a quarter mile at a time, I have to buy something new to make my car faster)
Lethal Weapon (there are no more heroes left in the world)

Terminator 2 (again as its my favourite)

Lord of the Rings and doubtless a few others that I'll remember later on and feel guilty for not putting in! :roll:

Mule · Post by **Mule** » Mon Nov 08, 2004 10:16 am

-Pulp Fiction

-Swordfish (for no other reason than Halle Berry with her baps out.. god bless the pause button!)

-Speed (great film and of course, the delectable Sandra Bullock)

-Ronin

-Matrix 1,2,2-1/2 (quite simply the 3 greatest films ever made. Not for the special effects but for the amount they make you think about everything. For example, they're supposed to be fictitious, but they could easily be a true representation of the world we live in.. think about it)

P.S. why doesnt anyone seem to like Matrix:revolutions? (the title in itself is pure Genius

)
