I'm fairly certain that...

[K9CCH]

...although it isn't scientifically proven, this is the #1 movie of all time ever made.

[W4GPL]

You just like it because of the locker room scene.

[K9CCH]

Well yeah, there's that....

But this has ALWAYS been my absolute favorite movie.

[W4GPL]

We had to watch it in Spanish when I was in highschool.. I've never been able to take it seriously ever since.

Háblame, Goose.

[K9CCH]

I would have had sue my teach for ruining it for me. Seriously.

[W3WN]

There are those who'd claim that The Boat Movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120338/?ref_=sr_1)(as my daughter first dubbed it when she was very little) is the #1 movie of all time.

But to me, the measure of a great movie is this: Do you feel obligated to watch it when it appears on the boobus toobus... and do you enoy every minute of it, even though it is as familiar as the back of your hand? A movie that you can quote from almost without thinking about it... and most everyone recognizes the quotes.

There's only two movies that fall into that category in our house. But, why am I asking you (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071230/?ref_=sr_1)? (That's going to leave a mark (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094012/?ref_=sr_1))

[K9CCH]

I can quote Top Gun forwards and backwards and I don't even have to be watching it.

[NQ6U]

Tried to watch Top Gun once, got about forty minutes in and turned it off in disgust. Tom Cruise couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

Funny you should mention that, I've never been a TC fan either. In my opinion, what made the movie was the flying and the music, but that's just me.

I always wondered what that movie would have been like with a young John Wayne as Maverick. He is an actor that can make a great movie from a shitty script, whereas, Cruise tends to do just the opposite. Again, just my opinion. And we all know about opinions, huh?

[kb2vxa]

"...the #1 movie of all time ever made..." is redundant and Tom Cruise Missile is wearing woman's lipstick from 1955. Anthony Edwards was alright as El Ganso though. (;->)

I saw the first release of Das Boot in German with English subtitles, somehow I like it more than the second release dubbed in English.

As for my vote for the number 1 movie, Forbidden Planet. It had quite a few firsts and a legacy, many props were reused in The Twilight Zone which was filmed by CBS at the same MGM studio location in Culver City and an episode of Lost In Space. It has a number of "Easter eggs" like the id monster having Dr. Morbius' goatee (it's his "evil self") and is a visual pun of MGM's mascot Leo the lion. Aside from all that it made quite an impression on this 7 year old kid on the big screen at Radio City and their ass kicking stereo sound system. Yeah, one version used a synchronized magnetic sound track.

And who ever figured Martin Milner would go from having Robbie making him hooch, to becoming Mr. Route 66 or Adam 12?

[WØTKX]

Das Boot is a really great movie. I like it in German, with English subtitles.

I'm not a big movie buff, but if pressed, I'd say Brazil is at the top of the list.

Here's a great dark humor scene from Brazil. Harry Tuttle (not Buttle) is a favorite hero of mine.

That movie was about 75% homoerotic innuendo, which a splash of "manliness" for us breeders :P

Try watching most movies in Spanish because most channels don't have multilingual settings. That aside, I am not a fan of the movie. I'm more into low budget cheese Si-fi movies.

Well yeah! LOL

[WX7P]

I liked "Repo Man" and "Vanishing Point".

I wasn't that interested in "Top Gun" (Who was the "top" anyway??!!!???)

[WX7P]

And who ever figured Martin Milner would go from having Robbie making him hooch, to becoming Mr. Route 66 or Adam 12?

Martin Milner was the "bad teenager" in an episode of early 50's Dragnet.

I'd hazard Cruise's character was the bottom at first, but then at the end, became a power bottom.

Now you're talking "Super Soul".

"And who ever figured Martin Milner would go from having Robbie making him hooch, to becoming Mr. Route 66 or Adam 12?"
Nobody, that was Earl Holliman. Martin Milner wasn't in the movie but Marvin Miller was the voice of Robby the Robot (uncredited). Adam 12 made an Easter egg appearance in Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. Now what was an LAPD car doing on the Golden Gate Bridge? Hmmm............

Brazil, got to be the screwiest movie I've EVER seen! Well, Terry Gilliam was a founding member of Monty Python and his other works include The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen (1988), and 12 Monkeys (1995). Captivating theme song too.

"That aside, I am not a fan of the movie. (Top Gun) I'm more into low budget cheese Si-fi movies."
You and me both! Japanese rubber monsters, flying '58 Buick hubcaps and a giant lizard that pukes all over Denmark (Reptilicus)... don't forget the Giant Gila Monster that derails the same ATSF train with four different locomotives four times (;->) and eats the passengers. Don't tell anybody it was a Mexican Spotted Lizard (can't tell yellow from orange in B&W) because the Gila Monster is poisonous. We can never forget poodles all done up as Killer Shrews! YYYAAAaaaaaaa..................

I understand the grumpy bastid most of the time too. Scared? Nahhh.
Warren, Janet, and I could pick music for a DJ show. It would be great!

Here's another whacked movie. French with English subtitles.
I really like it. This is actually the whole movie... "Diva".

"Warren, Janet, and I could pick music for a DJ show. It would be great!"

No it wouldn't, one PD to a station or you'll end up in a 4 way fight, the 4th being the DJ. Here's a hint, free form radio is the best radio, no PD and the air staph plays what they want to play, now two tastes in music are alike. Viva la differance, viva la France, viva Las Vegas.

That was my first car. A Canadian built version with a 2 bbl Holley carb on that aluminum I-4 engine. Could do 106 when the regular would blow it's engine at about 90. Ran it into the ground after a few years.

Interestingly, according to a race Car And Driver had with the Vega, Pinto and a big bunch of rice boxes, the Vega won beating out something like 2 dozen other cheapos (Japanese too). Wouldn't mind having the Yellow Submarine (there was more water in it after a rain storm than on it) now but it was hard to drive compared to todays cars.

I had q lemon colored lemon as well when I was 17. The heads were warped as expected. My buddy was going to help me drop a small block v8, and beefy tranney into the dead pony. I lost interest after he joined the army.

[K9CCH]

This was my first car... Well one just like it. A 1976 MG Roadster convertible. My grandfather had it and kept it together with duct tape and bailing wire. And any time it rained, I had to tow it home.

The Yellow Sub had the steel sleeves in the cylinders and so the cylinders were safe. The body wasn't though. It was totally biodegradable and rusted from slightly to pretty dreadfully. The rear leaked copiously enough to affect the handling somewhat. It was a good performer though. There is a spot on Ave U in Flatbush/Mill Basin that flooded during a downpour one day. In front of me was a Lincoln Continental, a Cadillac and a Mercedes Benz. The water came up to the bottom of the windows, and they stalled trying to go through. I drove in, going around the stalled cars and managed to get through which astounded a cop who was calling for a tow truck. It might've been a lemon, but it had it's day. :)

I do wonder what would've happened if I blew the horn while it was underwater...

[suddenseer]

My Dad went through a British auto thing when I was a kid. He had an old mg that had the 2 series wired batteries. It was broke down a lot too.:lol:
