It's not going to be my favorite movie but I watched THE HARD RIDE last night. A guy comes back from Vietnam to organize a funeral for a buddy that was killed there. There are gang fights, love scenes...... There is also a lengthy enough scene cruising through Yosemite Valley. It's 1971 movie. And to think I almost didn't watch it!

The movie was called "Never Give A Inch". And yes, its an outstanding movie. And very real.

Thanks for that beta – loved Kesey's character development, particularly from the underdog's POV.

Otherwise, it looks like all of us are 2 thumbs up – at least, those of us who still have thumbs instead of oppositional stumps.

2 missing....

Lolita (1962 – have not reviewed the 1997 remake, but the trailer looks lame)

Saw "Bride Flight", a dutch film set in New Zealand. After WWII many Dutch emigrated there.
It follows three young women who did so. IMDB only gave it 3.7. I gave it 4.5 - I had some
issues with the editing in the early part but it got much better.

Dood, you omitted the two greatest movies of all time:
"El Topo" and "The Blues Brothers"!

I know Reilly.

I've seen El Topo once and The Blues Brothers a couple of times, but this is my "I like most" list and the two of them are not there. I know that's stoooped... ^^^^

"Dr. Akagi" and "Gate of Flesh" should have been there... "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf" and "Patton" could have been there.

Gotta go with Lawrence of Arabia. I'm a big fan of the David Lean epics.

The Deer Hunter and American History X pulled me in more than any other movies I've seen.

Oh, and Vertical Limit.
