I'm not seeing a whole lot of discussion potential here.

Unless of course by "discuss" you mean "list".

Also to whom it may concern, and by that I obviously mean no one, please do not move this to the Movie and TV Forum as there is enough spam happening already,thank you very much.

TNT used to play the damn thing at least 5 or 6 times a week. If the film had followed the short story's beat (wherein he'd actually killed those people iirc) you'd see it less fondly remembered.

To me, it's how a man so unshakable in his determination bears all kinds of trespasses yet does not continuously need to proclaim them or have them reaffirmed. Dufresne is someone who exists as a support inside himself.

To each their own connection, like Art's love of the rape. However, I did not find the "tall drink of water" to be particularly equine.

There's also bromance before it was ruined by bromance.

and Morgan Freeman.

Birdman of Alcatraz

I'll give you your list right up until we get to Robert Stroud, you see the real 'Birdman' was not a harmless old man who liked to feed the birdies. Alcatraz was the toilet of the American prison system and Stroud really was a prize, convicted of manslaughter for the point blank shooting of a man (after knocking him unconscious) he was the most violent prisoner at his first medium level prison, so much so that he was transferred to the maximum security penitentiary at Leavenworth in Kansas. In a rage there over the loss of visiting rights for an infraction, he stabbed a guard through the heart. Stroud was tried three times for the guard's murder and sentenced to death twice.
His death sentence was commuted eight days before it was carried out by the president of the United States. He was adjudged by two prison psychiatrists to be a psychopath and actually spent most of his time in prison in solitary confinement (although this might have something to do with the fact that he was adjudged a 'dangerous homosexual'). Stroud died in prison at a medical center for federal prisoners in 1963.

The Man Who Would Be King is one of the greatest English language adventure films.On the other hand The Wild Geese is basically just Seven Samurai/ The Magnificent Seven with less likable/memorable characters.
Also with The Wild Geese I lost all empathy for the protagonists when during the "rescue" they murdered all the guards in their sleep.

I think you have to be able to root for the characters in stuff like this and simply setting the whole thing up as "bad vs. worst" wasn't the best way to proceed.

This dichotomy you display fascinates me, Idol. As far as film and yourself go, which is pretty far, in my ignorant opinion, you're quite clearly a traditionalist in your stance, yet you're perfectly aware (and I don't mean in Google way) of grittier, more uncompromising cinema. I've seen you resistant to new, innovative concepts, while rattling bones about classic/populist films, set in impossible contrast to these newer, transitory myriad styles.

We all know all the stories have been told. They were told before celluloid was a mere viscose liquid twinkle in the daguerreotype's one shutter eye. It's like the alphabet, wouldn't you agree? Where some successions of letters convey more sense than others? Of course there is no more original thought. Just as there are no more original atoms. They just transmute, after time, into something else, more or less offensive, dependent of course, on the viewer, or whatever has previously prejudiced the viewer.

Anyway, to each his own, and I'm perfectly willing to accept that you're only happy watching something wherein at least eighty per cent of the actors therein are deceased. Is that your criteria? Can't recall a recent occurrence where you actually said something positive about the medium you proclaim to love so much. If I'm wrong, which is a considerable probability, please to be accepting my profuse unapologies.

hey barry normal ^

1. Flash Gordon (1980) is just a great classic funny british 80s Sci-fi film, unlike most star-wars style films ( am i allowed to say star wars?
I Cant wait for flash gordon II. i hope its as good as gremlins II.

Brazil (1985) Directed by Terry Gilliam are both the best films, brazil because its wacky and makes you wonder why he works for c***s?
the angel dream scenes are amazing.

Blade runner- directed by
Ridley Scott, its not quite the same as star wars but Han ford plays a divorced detective in the future, and falls for a young droid instead of a slave princess, and runs after a prostitute who fall through loads of glass windows in slow mo.

Time Bandits - Directed by Terry Gilliam classic 80s brit comedy/action/midget/scifi/myth/timetravel/adventure - fortunately without the unwanted hollywood budget this film wasn't ruined either.
john Cleese is played by the comedian robin hood.

kingpin is a road trip bowling classic of the mid 90s when woody wasn't paid much obviously and he is so funny in this with bill murray from groundhog day, also funny film.

the cable guy is my favourite 90s comedy of his, surprisingly he is almost believably loopy in this one due to the ridiculous stutter

Barton Fink - The Big Lebowski also has a good story watch it twice or whatever can't remember what its all about but its full of great acting scenes.

Fear.And.Loathing.In.Las.Vegas- all of all his films are good anyway. i don't know why

Texas "go get you're brother" chainsaw. greatest of the lowest of the low budget horrors, unforgettably creepy, in a horror this ticks all the boxes except hollywood and $ you want to see it, but its painful to watch.

clockwork orange - OTT disturbing,violent and funny, it fits the category of Ultimate Mindf***

the Shining, is a horror/thriller written by stephen king directed by kubric, by turning the story into a complex headlock of anal kububric headfuckery stephen king didn't get the story either so they also made another documentary called Room 237 explaining what all that symbolism was.
i was 100% more disturbed by the carpets than Jack loosing his sanity.

I can't recall an occurrence,recent or otherwise,where I proclaimed a love of cinema. :unsure:
I have however said on numerous occasions that I liked some "recent" movie, some of them even being not so universally praiseworthy( the Dredd remake ironically springs to mind).

Things I don't especially like though and probably never will and have also stated this, are films lacking rootable protagonists or satisfying if not necessarily happy endings or ones that insult their audience.
I'm also not enamoured of cruelty or violence seemingly for violence sake. Hence me not being a fan of certain genres or directors or in the case of '70's,time periods.

Despite your insistence, I'm not going to rewatch a film from the 90s just to see if I'd still like it. At the least, I'm not doing that sort of thing much these days since I've found that most 80s and 90s films turn into big piles of suck after fermentation. If it was really worthwhile, I'd have watched it again. For this, I am describing The Waterboy.

With the exclusion of "Unchained" obviously he's referring to the original Franco Nero,Spaghetti Western version and feels that he can no longer support the Italian film industry due to the country's immense political corruption.
