I love both of those movies.

I'm generally not a rom-com guy, but that movie is fantastic. Great cast, great chemistry between Fox and Warner, hilarious, heart-warming, the whole nine yards. And the scene where they're dancing to Patsy Kline's Crazy was amazing.

I watched Silverado last week. I'd completely forgotten about it, but man that's a good western.

Not super old but I watched Killing them Softly on Tubi. I didn't remember it at all. From 2010 so not real old.

Gangster heist type. Nothing amazing but damn did it have a good cast. Pitt, Ben Mendelsohn, Gandolfini, Liotta. I tend to enjoy Scoot McNairy and Richard Jenkins too

I watched the original Vacation movie the other day on some mainstream channel. The St. Louis scene had a whole bunch of awkward cuts.

I like when he gives the $20 for directions and he expected $10 back in change and the guy just pockets the $20. ROFL

Breaking Away
Grand Prix (1966, great racing movie)

I can think of more..

I saw Runaway in the theater when I was a kid. Those mechanical spiders freaked me out. I was convinced they were hiding under my bed.

Tom Selleck.

Didn't Tom Selleck defeat a couple of those mechaspiders with just his mustache?

kentucky fried movie

airport

towering inferno

Heh. I was older when I saw it, but I can definitely see those things scaring the crap out of a child.

Of course, I'll see your spider robots and raise you Jaws in the theater when I was 10. That ****ed me up for life.

LMAO there was a time when I thought Jaws just might be able to get me in the bathtub

The only thing standing between me and certain death by shark attack, was my
baking soda powered submarine from the bottom of a box of Captain Crunch

There is a great movie Stallone did about 10 years earlier called "Paradise Alley".

Check it out.

I had nightmares for weeks after seeing that - my mattress was the raft, floating in the ocean, the music would play... and BOOM SHARK!!!!!! I'd wake up screaming. I can still hear my mom saying "I never should have taken you to see that ****ing movie." LMAO

Since then, and we're talking almost 50 years now, I've always been uneasy in any body of water where I didn't know what else was in there with me. Didn't matter if it was the ocean, a river, a lake or a pond. And if I was swimming and something touched me underwater, ****, I'd damn near leap on to the shore.

DAMN YOU SPIELBERG! :cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss:

Love Breaking Away! One of my all time faves. What a great flick

Big Night

Stanley Tucci, Tony Shalhoub, Minnie Driver, Allison Janney, Isabella Rossellini, Ian Holm, Campbell Scott, Marc Anthony, Liev Schreiber

Cool factoid about this film: the actor playing the barber in the film later plays the role of Remo Gaggi in Goodfellas.

pretty much almost any film from stanley kubricks filmography that was screen written by him

Jaws was scary for kids but that Creepshow with the oil slick that pulled in teenagers made summer camp uncomfortable for many swimmers. I saw lots of kids scanning the water for approaching oil slicks before jumping off the wooden rafts at the lake.

Great flick. Bought the DVD from a HyVee when they were selling off some of their rental movies for like $5. Then flipped it on Ebay for $150 because it was out of print/rare.

I was only four when it came out, so I'm pretty sure I was six when it finally showed up on tv and was able to watch it

Remember clear as day many times mom would take me to the public pool - that you could see straight to the bottom of - bu buh but what if Jaws could turn invisible if he wants to?

You never considered that did ya, mom?!! LMAO

Yeah, that shit's not nearly as scary on a 19-25" TV.

I was too young to see The Exorcist in the theater, and when I finally saw it on HBO in the late 70s when I was a teenager it didn't bother me at all. I actually thought the demon was kind of funny.

I wouldn’t say many of his movies are unknown or forgotten? Maybe Barry Lyndon, which I’ve never seen

No movie has affected my life more than watching Jaws as a kid. I sometimes have an irrational fear response when swimming in a ****ing lake. I can't see myself ever scuba diving. And I LOVE the movie now. One of the absolute all time best. But it ****ed me up.

Marathon Man

Is it safe?

Funny thing is, its not necessarily irrational to be fearful around inland fresh water

A giant catfish or huge snapping turtle can kill a grown man if they catch you off guard and mistake your shiny white foot or hand for a dying or lazy fish

Well shit. There goes my last lingering desire to swim in natural waters.

Those alligator snappers, you better keep an eye out for them...

The best part - two weeks after seeing Jaws we went to ****ing FLORIDA for the first time. When we went to the beach I wouldn't go out in the water deeper than my knees. Of course, I wasn't alone in that regard. There were plenty of adults doing the same thing. Most of them, actually. :D

I was in the Navy, and I've been to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. And I can count on one hand the number of times I've swam in the ocean and have some fingers left over.

Just watched Overboard last night.


Kurt Russell is a gem. Just a fantastic actor, and funny as hell.

Every time I use Hersheys Syrup I think of that movie.

That's a good one. And I don't normally like kids in movies, but those little shits are hilarious.

Another forgotten Kurt Russell movie from the 80s that I absolutely love is The Best of Times. Robin Williams plays the loser who dropped what would have been the winning pass (from Russell) in the biggest game of his life, never got over it, and then sets out to rewrite history. Russell is a great straight man to Williams' lunacy.

Some other comedies from the 80s:

The Man With Two Brains. My second favorite Steve Martin movie after Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Over the top goofy and silly, plus a smoking hot young Kathleen Turner.

Ruthless People. One of my favorite comedies ever. If you like your laughs with a vicious edge to them, this movie is for you. Danny DeVito absolutely slays.

The Man With One Red Shoe. Forgotten early Tom Hanks movie that seemed to get bashed by everybody, including Hanks, but I thought it was great. Wonderful supporting cast, including Footloose's gorgeous Lori Singer and a scenery chewing Dabney Coleman as the bad guy.

Oh hell yeah Fraz. The part when they are eating dinner with their wives and Robin Williams rolls the Tv into sight is hilarious.

So many great moments. I loved the bit where Reno was about to throw the car keys to Jack, then stopped, grinned at him, then walked over and handed them to him instead. Twist that knife much? LMAO

Robin Williams wife was really hot in that movie.

Russell is one of my all time faves. I love that Tarantino gave him a late career boost as well. He’s never bad in any role.

Yah. And a catfish will probably let go of your foot once it realizes it's not a fish. A snapping turtle don't give a shit.


When i was in HS my buddies invited me to go wrassling once; I know a posted about it years ago around here somewhere. Bottom line, when they told me they were going to tie a rope around me and the bumper of the truck "just in case" I decided i had a hair appt I'd forgotten about, lol.

Holly Palance. Jack's daughter.

Although personally I was partial to Pamela Reed, who played Reno's wife. She also played Belle Starr in Long Riders.

She was in Kindergarten Cop as well.

Used Cars was another great Kurt Russell movie. It's freaking hilarious.


Edit: It's on Tubi TV if you want some laughs.

Its not really forgotten, but its old

Currently 45 minutes into a second viewing of Mississippi Burning with Hackman and Dafoe... damn its good, Hackman is just chewing up every scene he's in

Lot of love for Kurt Russell, deservedly so. Dude is awesome.

If you wanna see another side to Kurt Russell, check out The Battered Bastards of Baseball. It's a doc from about ten years ago covering his time playing in independent league baseball up in Portland. Team was owned by his larger than life father. Great, great stuff.

Hackman OWNS that movie. When he grabs Michael Rooker's balls, I feel that.

"Now get this straight shitkicker! Don't you go confusin' me with some whole other body. You must have your brains in your dick if you think we're gonna just walk away from this. We're gonna stay 'till this gets done."

Turns to the Brad Dourif, Deputy character...: "How 'bout you, Deputy. That gun of yours just for show or do you get to shoot people once in a while?"

Frees Rookers nuts: "Thanks for the beer."


What's got four eyes in it and can't see? Mississippi.

And oh baby... the scene when he gets to have some fun with the Deputy/Brad Dourif. Soooo satisfying... "You got a stupid smile, you know that?" "Make no mistake Deputy, I'll cut your ****ing head off and not give a shit how it reads in the report sheet."

Pure intimidation. Dude knew how to be scary as hell without going over the top. Just ask Morgan Freeman from their time together on Unforgiven.

"Now I ain't gonna hurt no woman. But I am gonna hurt you (Ned). And not gentle like before... But *BAD*."

One of my favorites. Great movie.

Wow what, that weasel deputy is Brad Dourif?

I just got schooled, thanks

Beckett



The Lion in winter (the original with Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn)

I thought of another old 80s comedy that is definitely forgotten - My Chauffer. Starring Deborah Foreman, Howard Hesseman and Sam Jones from Flash Gordon, in the only other movie I ever saw him in besides Flash Gordon. Also features a very young Penn and Teller.

Two sci-fi movies that fall into the "so bad they're good" category: Battle Beyond the Stars and Ice Pirates.

Heh. Blue Chips came up on the Rewatchables. That’s one I never heard talked about but is really a good film.

Tony's flunking TV. And shaving points.

'Memba when Anthony Michael Hall was an action movie star?

Hahaha. Unfortunately yes.

He turned down Ferris Bueller for that movie too.

I rewatched this today. Man, it's really ****ing good. I forgot how good this was.

Oh wow. Worst career move ever.

I hear good things about Office Space.

My friend and former co-worker and I used to quote this movie extensively during work.

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...2NA@@._V1_.jpg

First Born (1984) with Peter Weller and Terri Garr, haven't seen it in a while, really want to watch it.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4AI-B6vBGVA?si=r758IOYXkAY-YZw9" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Saw it in the theater when it came out. Excellent movie, although it's been a few years since I've rewatched it. Peter Weller is terrific in it.

That was on Netflix last year and I watched it. Yes. Peter Weller was really creepy and scary in it.

This is one of my favorite all-time movies.


It is gold from beginning to end. It might even beat out The Last Boy Scout and Tango and Cash for my favorite buddy cop movie ever.

The chemistry between Crystal and Hines is off the charts.

Tango and Cash is also a guilty favorite of mine. Kurt Russell in the courtroom is one of my all-time favorite scenes (and lines).

Pretty in Pink was probably the greatest chick flick ever next to Clueless.

"This whole thing.......****ING SUCKS!"

Anyone remember Private School (1983) with Phoebe Cates and Betsy Russell? The classic fast times scene got all of the love but Private School had its moments too.

Great choices, but my vote for best chick flick ever is When Harry met Sally.

I was thinking ,"This is fairly mild, Pepe, groan"....then BOOM ass filling the entire frame!

This was a tame scene compared to the others, there's a scene with Betsy Russell that will turn you into Randy Marsh.

I remember the song, but never saw the movie.

Anyone remember DC Cab?

I somehow found this entertaining as a kid:

Busey, Baldwin, Mr.T?

How have I missed this the last 42 years!?

Vice Versa 1988 was a classic.

Might as well enter: Like Father, Like Son.

Dudly Moore and Kirk Cameron were both really good in it. Sean Astin was the best friend. LMAO

Motley Crue soundtrack. Kicked Ass.

Dudley Moore was always pretty great. He starred in a mostly overlooked movie called Crazy People about a guy having a nervous breakdown while working in the ad industry. His honest ads are gold.

“Jaguar. For men who’d like handjobs from beautiful women they hardly know.”

“Buy Volvos. They’re boxy, but they’re good.”

“The Freak. This movie won’t only scare you. It will **** you up for life.”

Haha. That was on HBO 150 times a month back in the day.

Bill Maher is in there too. 😝

I almost did but went with Vice Versa instead because more people saw it. I saw both and liked both. ROFL

I would probably last 30 seconds with her, damn.

She's got some heat for sure. Same woman as Jeff Goldblums ex-wife on Independence Day.
