[Movies] The GREATS outiside THIS generation?
My girlfriend went with her friends into the city this weekend, and she came back with my favorite movie as a child; 'Rad' as an early birthday gift. I've watched it four times since Saturday. A movie from the 80's, starring an Amateur BMX rider out to conquer the #1 spot in an upcoming event @ Helltrack. I hadn't watched this movie since the 90's, but my memories are vast. A group of us used to 'pretend' we were living inside the movie 'Rad'. We would race all over the Bronx, practicing flatland tricks (that I never really picked up on), but jumping was all me. WHO remembers this movie? The opening track by John Farnham (Break the Ice) get's be fired up...One of my FAVORITE titles/movies of all time.
What are some of the GREATEST movies outside of the 00's in your opinion? Any particular connection to any? Is it that movies aren't the same anymore, or do we hold this inner grudge against the newer generation of cinematography and writing because we hold such a deep interest in the material we grew up with? What happened to a simple plot that we could hold close, instead of having an extravagant display of effects?
...Bring back the meat & potatoes of the past

Haha, that's cute. It's like Liechtenstein declaring war on the US.
As for movies, the original Star Wars trilogy and Lord of the Rings. -

Is that the name of the movie/book? That sounds awfully familiar! He got shot or something at some point in the story...I've been out of school a while, but I'm pretty sure I read something like this in either elementary or middle school.The Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
Pulp Fiction
Fight Club
Full Metal Jacket
The Silence of the Lambs
Snatch
Can't think of any more that are pre-2000 right now =o
haha...Full Metal Jacket is a GREAT movie! Than Gomer blows his head off in the bathroom
Green Mile will ALWAYS be a classic. That storyline is emotional....AchillesPwn wrote: »wht do u mean by avatar is overrrated?

Scarface
green street Hooligans <--- Just WOW! what a great movie,nothing like it, check some trailers on youtube.
Scarface ftw! My original collectors edition DVD from...2003(?) I believe that's when it was first released on DVD is wore out. It taught me a valuable lesson; There's always going to be one bad guy. Don't try an please everyone, because not everyone wants to be pleased.
Blue ppl in my day were called Smurf :P
