Apocalypse Now is a pretty crazy war movie. Not sure, but I think its based on a true story. very good</font>

Apoc-Now is paralleled with a book called "heart of darkness." I can't remember the author right now... It's late and a lot of my books are packed away and in storage. THe same author did "the secret sharer." It's quite an interesting book.

As far as movies go, Here's a few:

The Usual Suspects (EXCELLENT! WATCH IT!)
Enemy at the Gates
Saving Private Ryan
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Platoon (Watch this one too!)
Big Daddy (You're prolly wondering where this one came from )
Meet Joe Black (Good flick, take your G/F for this one)
The Hurricane (D-Zel, Yeah baby!)
The Mummy
The Mummy Returns

I'll post again if I can think of more...

Nobody mentioned braveheart? i think that movie is great. Every time it comes on hbo i end up watching it, and when we go to my friends house i have him throw that in or austin powers 2.

sorry army, didnt see your post on braveheart, but its a good enough movie to be posted twice.

My all time favorite is Fight Club. Heres the reast that are great watching, no particular order.

-Billy Madison :Gotta love this flick!
-Strange Brew :Got me saying Eh? I love the toys too.
-Clerks KS movie :greatly written. Funny as ill.
-Dogma :Had me pondering everything while laughing my _ _ _ off.
-Mallrats :Great movie. "The guy from Fashionable Male?"
-Stalag 17 : Depicted war camps soo soo wrongly.
Saving Private Ryan :What can I say, one of ther greatest war flicks ever.
Robocop :I love this movie so much for some reason. Been wathcin it for years. The sequals are horrible though.
-The whole Star Wars Trilogy :The originals. SW:POTM sucked too much. I hate Jar Jar!
Space Balls :A great Mel Brooks film spoofing Star Wars
-And with the abover one anything Mel Brooks!!!
-The Four Rooms :Quenton Tarrentino flick. Well put comedy. Its great.
-Pulp Fiction :Its just a great movie!!!
Army of Darkness :Shop Smart, Shop S mart.
-Trainspotting :Agreat drama about heroin users in Londan i believe.
-CKY2K :I skate, its a great vid. Even though i knew about before the mainstream ruined it. By the some of the Jackass crew.
Full Metal Jacket :Just a great war movie about vietnam.
I forgot about Faces of Death, it these are great movies that will open your eyes and de sensatize you. Great to teach rounger ones that death is not pretty or funny. And its not glamourize dliek hollywood. I also laugh, well, because i gues sim either really sick or really de-sensaized.

That all I can think about now. I suggest goin gto Hollywood video or Blockbuster and renting everysingle one and watch them all in like a whole non-stop week. But thats not gonna happen.

[TamaPlaya]

Hmm... good movies...

1.) Breavheart
2.) Saving Private Ryan
3.) Full Metal Jacket
4.) The Matrix (good the first time you see it, after that... eh...)
5.) The Messanger
6.) Platoon
7.) Meet The Parents
8.) Nothing To Lose (one of the funniest movies I've ever seen)
9.) Blade
10.) I would say Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... if they spoke english in it... and there where more swords flingin' around... But, Top Gun is cool movie if you like jets and stuff...

Agreed. I refuse to watch a movie that calls CIVICS racecars. I don't care how much you mod a civic, a 'stang or 'vette will beat it down any day.</font>

Wrong. I feel for you man but American cars just can't compete. First off, the Civic is about half the weight of a vette or a stang and when you add in all the supercharging and what not you can get a 380+ hp, 0 - 60 in 3.4 sec Civic.

In the old days it was all muscle. Todays it brains leading the muscle.

Are you in the movie Army? Yes, Tea Leone is scrumptous, shes married to the monotone David Duchovny?
Ick, not the car debate again. I might as well say it:
American pride baby! Rice burners bite....Do the same to an american car with the turbos and such(if you can that is) and then see who wins...again...
And besides, only that tiny percent really know what they are doing to rice burners to make them actaully be worthwhile. Otherwise the majority are silly teens early 20's who do mainly cosmetic stuff to make it LOOK fast and SOUND fast with huge grapefruit shooting exhausts. you spend all that money to make the darn think LOOK fast when you spend the same amount of money on a beamer M3 or(euroes are so sweet), or a STOCK SVT for about the same price.
Add on-Sorry about this, This may turn this movie thread into a flame about cars.

Flamebo: They don't race a single civic in the Movie, the civic's are used to 'jack semi's. Race cars are Eclipse's, Supra's, S2000's, Firebird's and such. A mustang can't even compete with a stock eclipse, let alone a modded one, and 'vette's are all show. the only stock muscle out there today is the Viper, Firebird, and Z-28.

Also to whoever's was complaining about renaming 'Stoner Jay' he's now 'Jay Phat Buds' which is even more blunt.

hmm strange, some of the movies I like are

Pulp Fiction
4 Rooms
Fight Club was okay
*Snatch
*Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels
Nothing To lose was nice for a comedy

* I put the asterix there because I liked the movies although Vinnie Jones was in them. I really looked forward to watching him in a movie until I heard he actually was a thug in reality and that he wento to prison for beating his wife. He was also a semi famous athlete.

Where exactly do you get your information? A stock eclipse has no chance beating a mustang with an engine about 450ci. No chance.

Corvette's are not "all show".

A stock firebird isn't packing much of an engine.

And if the movie you're talking about is The Fast and the Furious, the only car worth talking about is the Dodge Charger. (The black car)
