Did you mean the old or the new magnificent 7?
I'm still yet to watch them both.

First time I watched it was also at home.
I got my hands on a perfect quality rip.

My TV - which was brand new at the time, has the ability to make normal TV/Movies, into 3D movies.
Like an upscale.
So I watched Interstellar in "3D" my first time.

Nice, yeah saw it when I was very young so I need to watch it again as I don't remember anything.
Cheers 👍🏼

The Godfather 1 and 2
Shawshank
Cool Hand Luke
Alien
Bladerunner
Saving Private Ryan
Dickie Roberts
Mac and Me

Seriously those first 7 I'll watch whenever I see them on, might want to add Fight Club and the Matrix, Seven, the Good The Bad, and the Ugly. Then I could go off on an Eastwood Jaunt with the Unforgiven, Outlaw Josey Wales, Dirty Harry among others. Spielberg Jaws, ET, of course, Lucas' Star Wars. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Rocky is pretty epic, Id throw Psycho in for something from Hitchcock, extremely underrated Papillion with Steve Mc Queen.

Three words:

"The Dude abides..."

All of the above!!

I'll only add three I haven't seen mentioned.

- The French Connection I & II

My favourite Gene Hackman movies.

- The Sting (1973)

I zipped through the list and didn't see:


I'm not claiming that it is the greatest, but I have been thinking about it lately.

My father left one of those clans in that area to join the Marines. The English clan was still there mostly when I visited about 1970. It's pretty much scattered now though, once my Grandmother died.

There are rumors that some intermix with the Scots occurred sometime along the way.

My family history in the New World goes back a ways.

Star Wars. Everyone else is wrong (But many of you have picked excellent runners up!)

Haven't seen this one mentioned yet either...

"HAL...open the pod bay doors."

"Open the pod by doors, HAL"

OR...

"Dammit...Janet!"

Or...

"Badges? We don' need no steenking badgES!"

Drops mic...walks away.

3 favorites.

Braveheart
Gangs of New York (Daniel Day Lewis really makes that one great)
Goodfellas (Everyone makes that one great)

Also I see someone mentioned Blade runner but what about Alien!!?

Also The Matrix...no brainer there. (Not the sequels, naturally)

Edit: Alien was indeed mentioned as was the matrix those are just required viewing to me.

I think I've seen that, what's it called?

"Dune" (1984).

vote for Chinatown. Jack Nicholson at his deadpan best. incredible 30s scenery. and music.

honorable mention for the Twin Peaks pilot. really creates its own world.

and a mention for the Man with No Name trilogy. awesome match of actor with character. kudos to Lee van Cleef and Eli Wallach for their support in #3.
