Good Lord, someone else has seen O' Lucky Man .  The music by Alan Price is indeed amazing, the songs are wonderful.  Had the LP for years and WB finally issued it on CD some time ago, but it has fallen out of print.

JUST a note on this.. know nothing about it. YEt Mary, HB
Keep an eye out, if this is not on dvd. Through work, have seen this year. Warner has re-released a LOT of old movies onto dvd.
One of my liked historical movies, just recently getting to dvd first time..
Northwest passage, with Spencer Tracy

Anyways, will admit. Tons of titles I never have heard of. Maybe check online, see if they have online store!! If not, maybe just check for it now and then online search.
Thought I would toss that out there for you 2.

Thanks HB for the heads up.  I thought that too about Paul but when the ice cream wasn't there (along with their press statement), I was sad.  *fingers crossed* Hope they come out with it soon.

So many good movies here on the list. This should keep me busy for a while :)

StarBear .. look online for Jaun of the Dead ... maybe something along the lines of your Shaun of the Dead....  Oh look, you've got red on you!!

That said.. I'm heading off to find my chaos cloak ...
(Have fun storming the castle boys!!)  You think it will work??  It would take a miracle!!  He he he

Pete how could you leave out .. The Longest Day??  Think one of my fave scenes... The german in bunker at beach. Sees the armada begin to appear.
While they begin shelling his position. He is yelling into the phone.. You know those thousand ships you say the allies don't have?? Listen, they are here!!
Something like that..

Another one with John Wayne .. They were expendable. Movie about the PT boats service.

MAJOR league again.. for Pete One of my fave lines of all times.
"The duke leads the league in hit batsmen." "Why I even heard, he threw at his own kid." "In a father son game!!"

In which we serve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI8hEghYpyA based (loosely) on fact Lord Louis Mountbatten's destroyer HMS Kelly and dedicated to the RoyaL Navy
wereon under the good providence of Almighty God the wealth safety and strength of this Kingdom chiefly depends.

Anything starring Leslie Howard (especially Pimpernell Smith Pygmalian and  for the Canadians here 49th Parrallel)

His private Secretary co starring John Wayne as you've never seen him before (A romantic lead!)   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIrvw3ETDHo

Gremlins 2 (especially the opening scenes)

The Stranger (Edward G Robinson and Orson Welles make a fantastic combination) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu8-V9JRX_g&feature=related

Dead on Arrival (my fav film noir even though it doesnt have a femme fatale)

the Blue Dahlia ( a great femme fatale film..) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JdlxXBalzo

Rebecca (one of Hitch's best!)
confession time Ive always wanted to be a femme fatale!

and yes
its a wonderful life...
The Wizard of Oz
some Basil Rathbone movies.

Jenn Peccavi ..
Woww you surprised me listing that old John Wayne title..
You may want to give these 2 a look.
Flame of Barbary Coast   .. Like you said.. kind of different style for him .. Romantic lead.. Yet also a historical type/ period piece.
Romantic comedy .. North to Alaska
Both of these with John Wayne

One thing that usually is not given.. He honestly, got to work. With most of Hollywoods most beautiful female stars. During the time he was acting. Kind of a who's who of beauty at that time. From Marlene Dietrich, and Lauren Bacall.. to Sophia Loren, Ann Margaret, Janet Leigh and It's a wonderful life's Donna Reed.

BTW anyone have interests in John Wayne movies... Have most of them here.. so maybe can recommend one!!

For Holloween the movie I'll be watching again is Cabin in the Woods. It could be the best horror movie I've seen in a few years. It reminds me of "scream" as it plays with "The rules" of a horror movie in new and refeshing way.


It was surprisingly fun, but then again, anything with Richard Jenkins is worth watching. For me it was a lot more clever than "Scream" and best of all... no Drew Barrymore  ;D

Totally have to agree....."The Ref" was hilarious.  Great Suggestion.

Also have to give two thumbs for "The Negotiator" I just saw it. Simply:  Amazing!

Thing about the negotiator ..Kind of keep misdirecting you. So you don't know for sure who is guilty. Plus make you think some are, that maybe are not. So first time through.. kind of a good who done it. WITH extra twists and turns!!

PhillyBaby .. Hey the more the merrier, for titles ... As you see.. Princess Bride .. is there for several people. PLUS most, giving more than 1 title. HEY lot of good movies out there. So feel free, to add more than one!!

Cindy .. Hmmmmmm maybe not true for the ladies you catfight. yet nice seeing you Sting .. your way through here.
Kind of one of the best original con man movies.
DIGGSTOWN .. great seesaw battle between con men  Bruce Dern, and James Woods.. With louis Gosset jr... LIKE negotirator.. first time through. Each time you think one side has it for the win. The other side, pulls something else to gain advantage again.

Livdeadgirl .. OK HEY I mean the ladies name, SCREAMS Halloween!! So I am going to take it from her.. This movie being added to my to see list!! Thanks, for adding this in!!

Justine .. Hmmmmm would comment on Blues brothers.. But I'm currently on a mission from God. Trying to put the old band back together!!  He he he

Some great suggestions here folks!! Plus hoping like me. Some others. Getting to see movies, thay may want to check out now!!

Almost forgot this OR maybe added before. YET worth mentioning..

Think this is a wonderful performance by Kirk Douglas, in his pater years.
Greedy ... with Michael J Fox .. Kirk Douglas, Olivia D'abo (Gorgeous.. got to meet her in person wowww!!).

AGAIN  this is a comedy.. some drama.. and LOTS of twists... Not going to spoil it.. YET the final scene with Kirk Douglas.. AWESOME finish, and pay off, for the movie!! Definately had not seen that coming, and LOVED it, when it finished!!

ok two more comedies ...  for the sci fi fans .. 
SpaceBalls the movie..   Have to admit. This one is fun.  I am your fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, former roomate. "What does that make us?? Absolutely nothing!!
(May not have that all completely correct, yet you get the idea.)

I said fire across her nose, not up it!!  LEADING of course to the "I knew it I'm surrounded by assholes line!!

GalaxyQuest .. with Tim Allen, and Sigourney Weaver. Also has some good scenes. Kind of parody of the Star Trek original series.
