All time best movies

You all left Walking Tall ( original '73 version ) of your lists talking classic action.

What about Missing In Action? Apocalypse Now? Causalities Of War?

I am more of a horror buff, so what about The Howling, The Boogey Man ( '80 ), The Burning, The Exorcist ( '73 ), Salem's Lot ( '79 ), The Evil Dead ( '81 ), Pieces ( '82 ), most of the Friday The 13th movies ( except that horrid reboot in '09 ), Hammer Films, Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci.  All classic horror movies in writers in their own right.

Newer horror? Um, I will have to look at my library to see what's actua;y original and get back to you.

I watched The Revenant over the winter. Great movie!

 

I own it because I couldn't wait until it was available for rental. Just saw the bear mauling scene again. Makes you think twice about hunting those big bears.

Even when I see the occasional black bear on our property, that scene flashes in my mind now!.........lol

John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness and Event Horizon are pretty good too.

A quick brain dump.  Not a fully thought out list:

Platoon, Reservoir Dogs, Falling Down, The Usual Suspects, Suicide Kings, Sixth Sense, Braveheart, The Matrix series, Unforgiven, Tombstone, Infernal Affair, Before Sunset.

 

Some not so great movies that I will watch over and over again.

The Crow, Predator, Aliens, The Raid, Zoolander, Hard Boiled, Robocop, The Blade series.

Prince Of Darkness, yes, Event Horizon, not so much. IMO.

 

Of Mice And Men

Dead Alive

Ginger Snaps ( all of them )

2001: A Space Odyssey

The Blues Brothers

Caddy Shack

Uncle Buck

Summer Rental

 

Animated 3D-CGI would be:

Resident Evil Degeneration

Resident Evil Damnation

 

If you want to talk horror for shock factor or gross out factor:

Cannibal Holocaust ( 1980 - They killed and ate a turtle while filming )

The Green Inferno ( ( 2015 ) sort of a remake of Cannibal Holocaust )

Irreversible

Haute Tension

Any of the Guinea Pig films

The August Underground Films

 

If you want comedy with your horror, Saturday The 14TH, or anything with Elvira associated with it.

Harry, Yea Rock, you know we are sitting on 4 million pounds of rocket fuel, one nuclear war head and a thing that has over 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder, kinda makes you feel good right?  This movie has many good scenes, another I like but not considered "great" by most.  The evaluation is pretty funny also, warning adult language.
