Need some Movie Help!!

[RP33]

I highly recommend The Thin Man series...all Nick Charles (played by William Powell) does is drink and smoke....and solve crimes.


You can't go wrong with any of the following

Arsenic and Old Lace - a comedy starring Cary Grant

Lawrence of Arabia - very informative about the Middle East and entertaining

Hitchcock movies: North By Northwest(GREAT movie), Psycho, Vertigo, The Birds, Strangers on a Train, Dial M for Murder, and Rear Window.

The Best Years of Our Lives - about how 3 guys and their families cope post WWII...stars Harold Russle a REAL WWII hero who lost both his arms in battle and one of only 2 non-professional actors to win an Oscar.

The French Connection - The story of Popeye Doyle and Buddy Russo and their efforts to stop the heroin trafficing from France to the US.

The Deer Hunter - Another story of life before and after war, this time Vietnam and this time it's not a feel good story either.


And Hamburger Hill is an underrated war movie....and The Lost Battalion is a good World War I flick.

Arsenic and Old Lace is a GREAT movie.. along with french connection, i'd add Bullitt with Steve Mcqueen

and Lyle you hit just about all the GREAT Hitch films but "Shadow of a Doubt" is one of my favorites.. it's probably second after Psycho.. Psycho blew me the fuck away when i watched it and it is my second favorite movie all time.. behind Memento.. So Dizaster if you haven't seen Memento then you haven't lived yet.. The best movie, all around, i have ever seen, and i was a film student for 3 years so there is my attempt at receiving some sort of credibility in this discussion..

Also, Suicide Kings with Christopher Walken was a good flick..

Lyle have you ever seen the movie "Tape"? One of my cult classic favorites.. The whole movie takes place in a single hotel room, it's fantastic.. A setting and environment where your actors are FORCED to act to their fullest, and they come through.

I haven't seen "Tape" yet but I will most certainly make a note of watching it in the near future.

My favorite Hitchcock film was "North by Northwest" no wonder Cary Grant was the #1 choice to play James Bond.

Any Abbot & Costello or Hope & Crosby movies are worth watching.

Any John Wayne movie is worth watching...I suggest "The Searchers"

I loved Punch Drunk Love RP33; watched it many times. I don't know why, as it depressed me for some reason

If I knew that I wouldn't watch it any more

Maybe because I really wanted to f#ck that chick for some reason, which is even more depressing

[RP33]
