Has anybody mentioned this one? If not, for shame.

Ooh, that reminds me. “The Magnificent Seven”. Classic.

And speaking of 13, “Thir13en Ghosts” with The Monk.

13 assassins had that little fella Banderas in there from memory.
Both of the “Magnificent Seven”movies were good.

I D’Loaded a wierd one coupla days ago.
It was called “brightburn”. Another Superman flown in from Space.
BUT… This one grows up a baddie. Hmm.
Watched around 1/2 hr of it then deleted.
Some might like it. Maybe.

The right “Kickass Torrents” is still good. Just use a floating
location thing.

Snowpiercer is a nice dystopic film for sure and it's ending is more realistic than I thought it would be. :THUMBS-UP: But I didn't like the unrealistic machine that powers the train and which is the basic element of the dystopic idea. The shooting when the train passed through the bend was also far from realistic. How can someone with a handgun aim and hit a moving target in several hundred feet away. :FACEPALM: But apart from that it's not bad. I like the part when one of the passengers was forced to hold his arm outside of the train... :-D

Clueless...mhhh....Alicia Silverstone... :LOVE:

Castaway....Wiiiiilssssson!!! :-D

I never forget the crash landing scene when I saw it in the cinema. :O

Flashlight: A young boy must overcome his fear of the dark during a power outage.

13th Warrior was Banderas. It was from a true story adapted by Michael Crichton and originally called Eaters of the Dead. I loved the book, but I’m a fan of all his work. 13 Assassins is a Japanese Samurai film with one of the greatest battle scenes ever filmed. It had to be done with one take because of the scale of destruction. It’s also 45 minutes long, talk about coordination.

forgot to mention:

The Fast & The Furious franchise
Taxi

It should have remind you “”seven samurai”:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047478/” which is the original and is worth watching, definitely in my top 50 and was one of my favorite movies for a decade (I watched it 4 or 5 times).

Beowulf is a true story?!

That being said the early chapters are loosely based on Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s journals.

Heh, the Vikings were some crazy folk. Cool swords though.

Speaking of supermen-from-space… “I Come In Peace”. :laughing:

Awesome flick…

Actually, lots of Dolph’s offerings were pretty good mindless fun. “The Punisher”, “Universal Soldier”, etc.

Most of Lance Henricksen’s as well (“The Terminator”, “Stone Cold”, CE3K, “Pumpkinhead”, too many to list).

Early Steven Seagal flicks, more mindless fun. Chuck Norris, too. Just kick back and enjoy the revengemotif.

Oh, “Signs”! MNS could be hit or miss (mostly miss), but this was awesome.

Whoa… how could I possibly forget?

“The… Lost… Boys”. ’Nuff said.

And “Flatliners”, too, also an awesome flick.

Sat down with the family and saw an oldie but a goodie……an old favourite of mine and even the kids loved it ……even if it was in black and white and there was no hint of CGI

To Kill A Mocking Bird

Obviously a Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits fan… Most def my favorite musician, seen him 2x in concert and planning
to do so again later this year…

The Princess Bride would be on my short list for sure. And lots of foreign/indie movies.

Ex Machina
A Quiet Place

My favorite western, Unforgiven

La Femme Nikita

and

Point of No Return

The US remake of La femme Nikita with Bridget Fonda, Gabriel Byrne, Dermot Mulroney Harvey Keitel

The Fast And The Furious

I took a break from watching horror films and watched...

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018).

It was really good.

One of the best biopics I've ever seen.

It helps if you like Queen's music, but you don't have to.

(I'm a big Queen fan, so that was a bonus.)

I especially liked the musical event at the end of the movie.

It was a great way to end an epic film.
