Your 5 best movies - Action & Adventure

12 posts in this topic

Anti went with the worst movie, but there's a whole lot of good ones.  Here's my 5 off the top of my head:

 

1) Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.  An incredibly good film, you can read the memorable quotes from the movie and still laugh your ass off after you've seen it a bunch of times.  Forget 'Snatch', which is basically the same movie, not as well done.

 

2) Wages of Fear - Sorry, it's subtitled, but it's good. And it's in black and white.  It starts off a little slow, but it ends up with some guys taking explosive unstable nitroglycerin on a truck across rocky roads, where the slightest jolt could set off an explosion.  Why?  They need the money.

 

3) Rescue Dawn - True story of a man's escape from a Laotian prison camp.

 

4) The Bank Job - Probably Jason Statham's best film. 

 

5) Oldboy - the original Korean (I didn't see the American remake).  It's not for the faint of heart.

1.) The Godfather - Classic movie that holds up well to this day

2.) Princess Mononoke - Although I'm not a fan of anime, this movie has been one I watch almost every year

3.) Saving Private Ryan - Great movie with decent morales mixed in

4.) Back to the Future - All you could want in a time traveling movie

5.) The Thing (1982) - Amazing horror movie with practical effects that surpass some of the CGI effects today

Did you see the HBO series Band of Brothers - similar intensity?

4.) Back to the Future - All you could want in a time traveling movie

The English voice acting is a bit outdated along with some of the animation, but the story itself with the characters more than make up for it (I still feel child violence glee when he shoots an arrow and it take off both arms of a samurai, then gets stuck in a tree as both the impaled arms dangle about from it)

As for Band of Brothers, I've seen some snips of clips here and there

I personally am not too interested with it though
