The Blokes Night In- Film Thread

Cicero

As it says post a list of your favourite Vids/DVDs or whatever they're called for a good olde Blokes night in....

(ps, thanks to the "Heat" thread for the idea)

edit...list of food & booze required optional...:p

Here's 5 for a start but knock ureself out with whatever many you feel like-give a couple of reasons if you can:

1. Goodfellas (well, blood, guts and Joe Pesci)
2. Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure (Nostalgia )
3. Unforgiven (well, it's got it all for a western)
4. Life of Brian (who can quote the most lines, most accurately, after all that beer)
5. Rambo 2 (for the laugh...)

Band of Brothers box set, pizza and beers.

Can't beat it...

Sofiztikated

White Men Can't Jump.

Zoolander.
Highlander. The first one. Not the bad second one, or the really confusing third one.
The Losers.

Food to include Buffalo Wings (See the mega thread in the cooking section), Shoestring Onions, Wedges.

Box Sets the way to go....

Dexter
Breaking Bad
OZ

Food....

Dominos - Mighty Meaty Pizza (2 for one if collected).

Drink....

Any of the following Stewart Lee DVD's

* Stand Up Comedian
* 90s Comedian
* 41st Best Stand Up Ever
* Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle
* If You Prefer A Milder Comedian Please Ask For One

Serve with beer & kebabs.

Comedy that hurts your brain, and food that soothes your stomach ... the beer is just a bonus, really.

I watched the wrestling Royal Rumble last night with friends, pizza and beer last night. I tell ya, nothing more manly than that.

Hmm, for movies you can't really beat the likes of Comando or Showdown In Little Tokyo. Over the top action, bad acting and action galore! The Expendables is a recent addition to the rubbish but insanely fun cheesey action movie genre.

Who won?

Alberto Del Rio. It was a big surprised and I'm delighted that they are giving somebody new a push.

I must admit, we all marked out in support of King Sheamus! :cool:

Otis Driftwood

Interesting,never even heard of him.Anyway,mad OT,carry on!

Galvasean

I should ad Road House to the list. It's a favourite among my buddies and the girls among them seem to enjoy it too!

And then there is the unintentional comedy masterpiece that is the Wicker Man remake:

Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2 are excellent guy flicks.Alot of John Woo's pre Hollywood stuff are outstanding particularly Hard Boiled,The Killer,A Better Tomorrow or Bullet In The Head.

Of course any Bruce Lee films should form part of the list,Enter The Dragon being an obvious highlight.All the films in his all too short career deserve a viewing.

Did that alot over December.

Got that big ole Clint Eastwood 35 years boxset to chug through soon now as well =].

Dolph Starbeam

Any of the Bournes
Any of the Rush Hours
Any of the Die Hards

redwilly

You got to have star wars IV to VI in there.

Reservoir Dogs would be good, just the car chase scene in Bullit (Rest was poor)

Heat, Ronin, Top Gun, Rocky and Rock II also Rocky Bilbao, Predator Terminator, T2.

Maybe have a Sci Fi Weekend followed by a cops and robbers weekend and followed by a war weekend.

Finally followed by a black and white weekend, Cagney, Stewart, Mitchum,

Sherlock Holmes films with Basil Rathbone.

homerun_homer

2 far apart choices for me;
Predator

The Big Lebowski

gandroid

Cicero

Forgot about stand-up comedy....

1. Bill Hicks- One Night Stand

2. Billy Connolly...Live- The Greatest Hits..

3.The Secret Policeman's Ball- The complete Edition.

edolan

For me it would have to be the Lethal Weapon films or Aliens.

Stheno

Das Boot
Casino

Panthro

Dumb and Dumber,
and I will quote it word for word.

Pherekydes

Why has no one mentioned "The Sound of Music" yet? I can't believe a bunch of blokes wouldn't love that film.

Anyway, as soon as the kids are gone to school I'm breaking out the "Rome" boxset.

trebor28

how about
Old School.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
Me, Myself and Irene.
TAWP

maybe not in that order but with a few friends over it would be a great night.

Magic Eight Ball

Anything by John Carpenter.

Khannie

Aliens.
Alien 3 (directors cut).
Full metal jacket.
Independence day. Cheesey goodness.
The hurt locker.

All on the big screen with popcorn and a delicious beverage of your choice. Win. \o/

Otis Driftwood

Alot of people arent into horror flicks so I tried to recommend more accessible stuff!I am however having a movie night with a friend tonight so I intend subjecting her to it.:)

Raze_them_all

ah it's not really horror though, has the greatest sound track ending ever too.

Sanjuro

I'm gonna go all foreign and arty and mention three Kurosawa films-

The Seven Samurai
Yojimbo
Sanjuro

So good, they remade them in the States as The Magnificent Seven and A Fistfull of Dollars. But you cant beat Toshiro Mifune in the originals.

Cartman78

Watched "Bronson" yesterday...definitely a Blokes film...would be amazed if any woman on the planet has actually managed to sit through it.

Decent extra feature too about body-building

Yep,apparantly teh wimmins like the talkies too,Im as shocked as you are.:-o

Nolanger

In cold blood.

If it's a box set then it has to be Band of Brothers. If I had to choose episodes I'd go for Curahee, Day of Days, Bastonge, Breaking Point and Points.

That's close to 4 hours.

If its films then both Airplanes sandwiched by Roadhouse.

Big Lebowski but only if my brothers don't go or they at least promise not to say every line.

Gotta agree with previous poster. True Romance is QT's best film even though he didn't direct. Best scene ever with Walken and Hopper.

Otis Driftwood

The "problem" with The Big Lebowski is that alot of people dont get it.Its one of those marmite films that people love or hate.I think its super however I have shown it to some friends before and they were non plussed with it.

DOC09UNAM

No pulp fiction? for shame.

northern lights

What about 'The devils advocate'. The final scene is just great, I never saw it coming and the doors song (I think it's the doors anyway but am open to correction!) that accompanies it is just brilliant touch. Al Pacinos the bomb

folan

Dr. Strangelove.

Comedy genius

BigDuffman

Ronin
Band Of Brothers Blue Ray Box Set
Saving Private Ryan
St. Trinians
Rambo / Rocky
The Departed (you can watch it in peace without herself asking annoying questions)
Where Eagles Dare
The Hang over

Cicero

A dirty evening:

Dirty Rotten Scondrels (Steve Martin & Michael Caine)

The Dirty Dozen

Dirty Harry


For food...Chinese, Tiger Beer followed by Mud Pie:p

Velocitee

Bloodsport
Anything with Stephen Seagal (Under Siege had it all, explosions/ women jumping out of cakes...)
Any of the Die Hards

(Death Race/ transporter etc. all good - don't go transporter 3 though - the whole crane sequence made me cringe - that and the Lamborghini out of sync with the flappy paddle gear changes - hey if you aim a movie at blokes, some petrolheads are going to notice!):P

Tar.Aldarion

beer pizza and violence is all you need. a good arnie classic or band of brothers

jugger0

Probably the best movie ever made

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxAuh53QejY

Cicero

^^What about Apocalypse Now? Or Full Metal Jacket?

Odaise Gaelach

Die Hard quadrilogy and a pizza... if nothing else, you'll have endless chat about whether Die Hard 4 was crap or not.

I liked it.

Actually, alternatively you could go for something that you know is going to be really bad, and then you could all start tearing it to shreds á la Mystery Science Theatre. That's always fantastic fun.
