    Sunday's are great days to be up doing stuff, particularly with this weather, why would you wannabe sitting around watching tv, happy Easter folks

    Young Guns 1 and then followed by 2 :) or any good western :) John Wayne was a brilliant actor

    Zulu . Or some decent war flick .

    A Bridge Too Far or Torah, Torah, Torah would be my recommendations for classic war films.

    Glory.

    A brilliant cast, riveting watch.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    All quiet on the western front.

    Ryan's Daughter is a good long one, even better if you've a top end sound system to get the best cinematic experience....

    Something like Me, Myself and Irene or Jerry Maguire.

    War films and Westerns are a good Sunday afternoon choice. Always remember watching Quigley Down Under with Tom Selleck in it one Sunday.

    Ben Hur on TCM now.

    Too nice a day to watch it again though:)

    The Blue Max.

    Filmed in Ireland in 1966 and one of several 'flying films' made with assistance from the Irish Army Air Corps. It contains some of the most impressive flying of replica WW1 planes that you will ever see. All done for real, long before CGI effects.

    It so impressed LOTR Director, Peter Jackson, that he bought some of the planes built for the film and he has them in his private collection in New Zealand.

    I watched Cruel Intentions today. Blast from my teenage past but pretty awful. Ryan Phillippe can’t act and has a big tinkery head on him. I thought that as a teenager when all my friends loved him and I still think it now. However Selma Blair saves the film with her funny performance.

    I rewatched that recently. Very enjoyable. Ridiculous plot but does it matter? That film would not be made now.

    Vodacom Dundee 1&2
    The Godfather 1&2

    The third installment for both should be avoided/never made.

    The Blues Brothers, in this case avoid the second one

    Back to The Future trilogy, make a day out of it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,239 ✭✭✭Jimbob1977

    Doctor Zhivago
