[O.S.O.K.]

The Outlaw Josey Wales
We Were Soldiers
The Sum of All Fears
Blade Runner
The Postman (yes I know its Kevin Costner but its a good movie)
Braveheart
The Manchurian Candidate - either version
1982


And Tremors? Are you kidding? Maybe The Blob if you want a classic horror "thing trying to kill everybody" type movie ;)

[alismith]

Add to that list, "The Beast of War"(1988). The movie I'm referring to is about a Russian tank crew commander who committed atrocities in Afganistan and the "pay back" he and his crew got. It didn't so well at the box office, but it is one hell of a good movie. I'd reccommend seeing it, at least, once.

"Best of the Best" (1989), with Eric Roberts and James Earl Jones, was a great martial arts movie.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096913/

"Bloodsport" (1986).

Hey, you can't knock a movie that has a character who loves firearms and explosives and who has an impressive gun room in the basement of his bunker-style home! :shootski::machinegun::violent068::bigun2::vinsent ::big-gun::mgwhore::wildshooter::ashooteremoyt7:

"Broke into the wrong God damn rec room, didn't you, you bastard!"

Hollyweird neutered Sum of All Fears though- the original book villians were all ME Muslims aided by an East German scientist and a Native American sepratist. They used Nazis because you know, Muslims wouldn't ever mass murder Americans :wow:

What about the scene between Trouttman and the Russian General? "Who do think this man is, God?" "No, God would have mercy. He won't"

Every man with a sack has got to like Rambo. The M-60 at the end of Rambo II?

Longest Yard

[swampdragon]

I still say Braveheart.

[swampdragon]

Anybody ever seen an old Bruce Willis movie called Tears of the Sun?
Damn good flick. Navy SEALS thing. Really good.
I've liked Bruce in almost every movie he has ever made anyways....

I remembered it when I read you guys mentioned The Last Samurai.
That was an excellent movie too.
I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, but "that" movie was freakin' great!

Ck 1st post.

[Mark Ducati]

All the top ones were covered here.... but last year, someone suggested a movie called "shot through the heart" about a sniper battle in Sarajevo...

And while we're at it... has anyone mentioned "Schindler's List" yet?

[F-16 CHIEF]

District 9

Best movie I've seen in years.

[rgmcl]

A few of my favorites: Windtalkers
Twelve O Clock High
Black Hawk Down
Master and Commander-the far side of the world
and most of the others that have already been mentioned/.

I try not to watch movies about Yugoslavia.

[AKTexas]

Did anyone mention Heavy Metal?

[arcangel]

What no Transformers? Hot chicks and robot fights.

[NewbieAKguy]

I may have missed it, but Roadhouse. LOL

Ronin (Robert DeNiro, 2nd best car chase ever), plus has one of my favorite quotes in it about the 1911 and Americans in general (near beginning, where Bean asks DeNiro what his weapon of choice is :D :thumbsup:)

Animal House

A Christmas Story.....sucks I have to work X-mas weekend, no 24 hrs of it for me :(

To Kill A Mockingbird, damn good book too.

Dawn of the Dead (remake), c'mon we gotta have at least a couple zombie flicks and who doesn't like the idea of fighting off a horde of zombies and going all out in a gun store?

[insider]

The Soldier.

[Uncle Scary]

Awesome flick....I luv the sound track to that movie...Ennio Morricone is a genius.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfczFtTvzbg&feature=related

+1 Ennio Morricone also did the soundtrack to De Niro film "The Mission" which won much critical acclaim.

[Uncle Scary]

I try not to watch movies about Yugoslavia.

Yugoslavia is fodder for some great modern war movies because of the Bosnian conflict.

"The Savior" with Dennis Quaid had some scenes that were hard to watch.

Another film about the fighting in Yugoslavia which is kind of a sleeper is "Harrison's Flowers," about a wife who goes to find her missing journalist husband in the middle of all the fighting in Bosnia. Lots of graphic scenes in that movie, too.

Did anybody mention Casino Royale? The one that was made recently with Daniel Craig as 007, not the 1967 release with Peter Sellers.

[Mark Ducati]

Passion of the Christ
