24 Hours of Movies...

[Avante]

...yep an all day marathon. One right after the other, something you had planned so you already have the munchies/goodies. You've taken care of any business, got some good sleep the night behind. This will be a serious assualt on ....movies, your favorites.

We'll go with two hours per movie, or twelve movies. Being this is a fantasy...........

Anyway.

Starting off at 12am...King Kong the 1933 original, to this day Hollywood has never improved on that T-Rex that Kong kicked ass on. He was the ultimate Hollywood dinosaur.

2am...Conan, yep, the recent one. Robert E. Howard would have been proud of this attempt to portray his Hyborian Age and his legendary Cimmerian wanderer. A job well done. Those with Arnold sucked.

4am..Casablanca...all the gin joints in the world and she had to find Rick's. No place in the movie do we hear...play it again Sam. The cat who played Sam in the below movie.

6am..Stormy Weather...Cab Calloway, Bill Robinson, Lena Horne, The Nicolas Brothers, an all black cast showing us how a musical should be done. Bill Robinson held all kinds of running backwards world records.

8am..Warriors...Warriorrrssss come out and play-eeeeeeee

10am..Remember the Titans...you make them remember the night, they played theTitans.

12pm..Roadhouse...I thought you'd be bigger. Jeff Healey!!!

2pm..On the Waterfront...I could have been a contender!!!!!!!

4pm..Cool Hand Luke...what we've got here is the failure to, communicate!

The rest of the night ...The Godfather...saga. I made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Casablanca and Warriors my favourites. Good watching, brah. How will you stay awake

[LnGrrrR]

Fine, I'll bite. In no particular order:

Aliens - Yes the 2nd one. Because Bill Paxton rules.

Princess Bride - A sentimental favorite, narrowly edging out Neverending Story

Shaun of the Dead - At least one zombie movie is a necessity, so why not fill in a comedy slot while we're at it?

Matrix - Filling my kung fu and cyberpunk slot (because Blade Runner is just a bit too long)

Groundhog Day - Great comedy with dark humor, and ya know, Bill Murray

Karate Kid - I can't help but sit and watch this movie whenever I catch it on cable

Predator - Terminator 2 is the sexy pick, but I have too much fun repeating the "gonna have me some fun" lines. Plus, I already picked Aliens, so it's only fair the Predator gets his due.

Boondock Saints - Being from Boston, I'm obligated to put either this, Good Will Hunting, The Town, The Departed, or some other "bahstan" movie in here. This one wins out.

The Crow - RIP Brandon Lee.

Enter the Dragon - RIP Bruce Lee.

Demolition Man - Not a great movie, but I love it anyways. Narrowly edged out Tremors in this category.

Evil Dead 2 - I need me some Bruce Campbell. Sorry Bubba Ho-tep. I still like you too.



I missed some great quirky movies that I love, but these would be the 12 I'd probably take to a desert island with me. Hopefully I can sneak some British comedies in my backpack.

[Avante]

Casablanca and Warriors my favourites. Good watching, brah. How will you stay awake

It took a couple watchings to see the greatness in Casablanca. Warriors was a..wow!..right off the bat.

I can usually go a couple days without sleep if motivated.

The Crow is my son's favorite movie. Boondock Saints would be seen the next time I had a movie marathon.

I 've never seen Lost Highway. Yep, Lynch is great, Eraserhead..???

Mulholland Drive is rather...ah...different. I have a documentary about Lynch.

[The Reckoning]

just think of how much good you would do for the world if you put half the time you've used for entertainment into charity.

tsk tsk

tsk tsk

I'm cool with charity if someone is in a position they couldn't help. Not cool with people having 7 kids they can't afford. Or a woman marrying a known fuck up. Or some guy who never applied himself and now thinks the world owes him a handout.

I had my first job at 16, picking fruit.

Not sure I get the connection between those two movies and pissing on (or being pissed on by) your spouse.

I didn't say Golden Shower...I said water sports, but hey...whatever floats your boat ;)

[CuckingFunt]

Golden showers = water sports.

[silverblk mystix]

Golden showers = water sports.

Well, not at my house- I am way simpler than most.

Funt is correct.

Funt is correct.

Doesn't matter. Different meaning at my house. :lol

Don't even wanna know your definition-Shadow :lol

[Reck]

I only know one and that one was it.

Do you care to explain your other definition? Or is that too much personal info to give out on a board for you?
