whomper Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 That you really enjoyed. Last night about 11 pm I am laying down to sleep and my wife is flicking through the channels. She stops at Con Air which is just starting. She said " you loved this didnt you" and I said that I never saw it. She was surprised. I gave it a go and really enjoyed it. Stayed up until about 1 watching it . Great flick. Which movies that people seemed to like, did you end up seeing and enjoying many years after it was in the Theatres ?

tazinib1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Â thats awesome. If you go on my FB page, you will see a pic of a doll in an abandoned trailer park we were shooting at in Florida. The doll made me immediately say Con Air. It was rather...awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â There are several but I don't think I will name them and get yelled at by taz. Â Â And I thought Waterworld, which I saw when it came out, was pretty good.

I didn't enjoy it but others seem to have. Everybody has an opinion. Even though I don't agree, I respect it...doesn't mean I can't disagree though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljbrun Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them right now. These I've watched in the past year. Not sure how popular they were in their time. Some came out before I was born or when I was too young to have seen them in the theaters.

whomper Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Driving Mrs. DaisyShawshank Redemption   One of my top 5. Come to think of it pertaining to this thread, Goodfellas is another one for me. I saw it years after it came out. I was in college and we were all ready to go out on a Thursday night to the bars. The topic of goodfellas came up and I said I never saw it. One of my fraternity brothers looked at me like I was nuts. He got out the VCR tape and said sit down. we arent going anywhere until you watch this. Ive seen it about 100 times since Edited February 18, 2011 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I don't agree, I respect it...doesn't mean I can't disagree though  Fair enough.  Saw Lawrence of Arabia for the first time a couple years ago. Can't believe I had never seen it since O'Toole is one of my all-time favorite actors.  I have never seen any of the Star Wars/Star Trek movies. And I am sure that I wouldn't enjoy them. But that doesn't apply to the topic at hand. LOL And while I own it... have never seen ET either.  Saw Wizard of Oz in 1956 on TV. Enjoyed it.

tazinib1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) (though made while I was alive, was a little too young to watch)Apocalypse Now   I just saw this for the first time myself about a month ago. Lawrence Fishburne was a skinny little runt. When the cinematographer (Vittorio Storaro) gave props to Alfred Hitchcock with the profile shadow on Marlon Brando's bald head, I about crapped myself. I was almost embarrassed that I had never seen it. All my buddies gave me some serious grief for that slip.

Ok movie, but I could never get over Cage's atrocious Southern accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
