Honky1974,
Lol I'd hafta say "Shawshank" pretty much tops my list too....
and
"In the Presence of Mine Enemies"...
"KUNG-FU-The Movie",
Shit there's so many great ones...I joined a flick-list-thingy a few daze ago and started noting all my faves and that reminds ya of another & so on...lol...One GREAT short film, that was on the 'Twilight Zone" years n years ago, would blow ya mind was "Incident at Owl Creek Bridge" Maaan it was awesome....I was looking for it & that's how I wound up on the movie data base place and was cracking up when I found out the reason I'd been having some trouble finding it and a few other old flix was they were listed in foreign languages! I kinda like some quirky actors, like Steve Buscemi...Oh yeah, "Papillon" is def in my top 5 for fave flixxxx!

koda,
Kung Fu the Movie has one of my favorite actors Luke Askew in it, he's probably not that well known but the man has been in some great films including two of my favorites "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" (Kristopherson Rocks) and "Cool hand Luke". Also "Greased Lightning", "Glory" and "Return of the dragon" are at the top of my list. I remember movies like Zepplins "The song remains the same", "Woodstock", and whatever Hendrix rip off was playing at the time as one of the only visual experience available for wannabe guitar heros back in the olden days, I even set through "Sgt. Peppers" at least seven times just to see Joe Perry of Aerosmith, now thats dedication.

hellifiknow,
Maaan I could def sit thru flix with you ...Love ur taste! I'm so addicted to the old original "Kung Fu"(t.v. series) that I taped most of the episodes when it was back on about 7 or so years ago for a while.I see the first 2 seasons are available on DVD now! I just finished reading "The Love You Make" by Peter Brown & Steven Gaines about 'An insiders story of the Beatles'...I grew up on that shit and still a die hard fan of the old tuneage! Lol! Havva good one! (fuuuk even our phraseology dates us man!) Lolol! Hey that gives me an idea ferra new thread!
