    BFI's Fifty Films a Child should see by Age 14

    This list is flawed IMHO. Where is "The Black Stallion" 1979?

    Charles Bronson passes away

    I remember him most for the movie "Hard Times" 1975. I watched it every time it came on TV. Man, to me, he was the epitome of a tough guy. Rest In Peace, Charles...

    Differences between LCD TV and LCD Computer Monitors?

    Check out the Viewsonic VX2000. I've had mine for about 4 months and I LOVE IT! VX2000: high performance in a 20" HDTV-ready LCD. 1600 x 1280 res. In my opinion. The only way to go for computer needs, but looks awesome with video. http://www.viewsonic.com/products/lcd_vx2000.htm

    THE THING 20th Anniversary - Give Up the Love for this CLASSIC!

    "THE THING"! What a great piece of work! This is the one movie that changed my attitude about horror films. I was so freaked out after watching this movie (back when it first aired on HBO), I felt like maybe I was infected with the THING. What really gets me is the whole idea of the alien...

    Movie Endings you hate and why

    Adam and Chris, Now that were talking about the many ID4 plot holes and inconsistencies. You don't know how much I wanted this movie to be good! It could have been so much more! Especially at the end. The REAL nagging question, although I can't take anything away from your excellent...

    Sony KV-36XBR450 third times the charm...hopefully.

    Let's give that another try. This one you can read! Michael, A year and a half ago, I had the same uneven black level problem with my 36XBR250! Before that, I had a geometery problem with a 36XBR200 (which was replaced by the 250). I loved the TV, the picture quality was awesome. However...

    WOW! SORRY about that one. I've got to remove the font & size setting. That's what I get for messing around!!

    Panasonic PT-47WX49 or Mitsub. WT-46809?

    Need help deciding on which is the superior TV. The Panasonic pt-47wx49 or Mitsubishi wt-46809? I’ve been looking at these two units. Side-by-side they both look good. The salesman says the Mitsubishi is built better. However, the Panny looks great, and I don't have to purchase a separate...

    _2001_ in 70mm at Hollywood's The Egyptian Theatre

    Hi Jack, I'd love to meet you on the 21st. However, due to scheduling constraints, my brother a I can't make it till the 27th or 28th. It would be great to get together and discuss my experience having NEVER seen this great film on any kind of movie screen (large or small). I can't wait...

    Ed Harris - one of the best actors working today

    Kevin, I couldn't agree with you more, my friend! Harris' performance in the Abyss will stand as one of the most underrated acting performances in history, IMHO! I love this movie because of him! I haven't seen Pollock yet but after reading this post, it's next on my list... Don't...

    Heat

    Darren, I couldn't agree with you more, brother...This movie was probably one of the most underrated new releases for 1995. I don't ever remember seeing a trailer for it (at the movies). It was obviously released for a very short time, before it went to video. I'm holding my breath for a new...

    I think it's time for ol' Ahnuld to lay it down!

    I agree with AJ Johnson. Arnold must hook up with John McTiernan again and do Predator 3. Predator 2 was so so compared to the first Predator, which is one of the best all time action movies ever. What made Predator a great movie, is having a great director like McTiernan, a good story and...

    Question about 'Heat' concerning Waingro *spoilers*

    Matthew, I believe you are referring to a scene in the doctor's office where Jeremy's character was talking to Neil. The part that was cut out was where Neil's telling him something about being a thief. He says something like "...I'm double the trouble you've ever seen..." Something like...

    Remember American Werewolf in London?

    I remember going to the theater in '81 to see this with a buddy of mine. I think we were in Jr. high. It scared the shit out of me at the time. The metamorphosis from human to werewolf was the best special effects I'd ever seen. I was blown away! I had the hots for the actress, Jenny...

    Question about 'Heat' concerning Waingro *spoilers*

    JonZ, In your last post, I'm not sure it was this complicated. Your statements make it sound like Trejo was the only person Waingro/VanZant could have gotten information out of. What about the guys from Neil's crew? If those guys were holding Trejo/wife hostage then I'm sure Trejo could...

    Question about 'Heat' concerning Waingro *spoilers*

    Pieter... This is one of my top 5 movies of the 90's. I love this one for the same reason, every time I watch it, I get something new out of it + all the great performances. To answer your question, I believe Waingro found out about the bank heist when he went to Trejo's house, beat the...

    2001: A Space Odyssey

    I feel like those of us on this thread and others out there who really have a true affection for 2001, and what it stirs up in our imagination have some kind of mystical calling from this movie. It brings out something greater in us. It's almost akin to the chosen people in Close Encounters of...

    2001: A Space Odyssey

    After viewing this movie again for the N-teenth time, I still find myself trying to understand things I thought I knew before. More questions come up. This movie is so visually moving, that I can't stop thinking about a few particular scenes, long after I've watched them. Even a simple scene...
