That's quite a selection. I have seen alot of those myself. I prefer the old movies, some new are ok.


There are some really great movies old and new that I find really enjoyable. However, I find the older ones relied less on mind-numbing explosions, sexual exploitation and CGI than a good acted, well written story. I find M Night Shyamalan tries and recaptures some of this old fashion story telling to great effect in his movies. I absolutely loved the movie 'Lady in the Water' because of this, along with 'Signs' and 'Devil'.

   ALIENS (1986)

#1 Favorite movie
Hollywood needs to remember this is how a strong female lead character is done properly.  Lt. Ripley - Sigourney Weaver
Plus, who doesn't love the mouthy over-the-top gun wielding bad-ass Private Vasquez played by Jenette Goldstein.
RIP: Bill Paxton.

#2 Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior        (1981)
#3 The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly   (1966)
#4 Great Expectations    (1946)
#5 The Thing                 (1982)
#6 Moby Dick                (1956)
#7 Devil                        (2010)                 
#8 DUNE                       (1984)
#9 Gone With The Wind  (1939)
#10 Les Misérables         (2012)

I toO am a huge fan of the 1986 Aliens movie!!! I literally just watched the newest one the other night and was so disappointed!!! I watched the newest Predator movie right after it and it was actually way better and I have never really been a fan of any of them... I have enjoyed all of the Aliens though until the newest one... In my opinion they ruined the whole thing... But that's just me...

I love all of the other ones you listed as well!!!

Baby Driver...

I literally just watched it last night and it was the best movie I have freaking watched in awhile!!! I loved it!!! The way he could anticipate every beat of the song and line it up to what he was doing at the same time and hit it right on que etc... Amazing!!!

Driving/riding and music both have been such big parts of my life and I could just relate to so much of it and it was just a great story line and all...

10 out of 10!!! Wished I would have found and watched it soOner!!!

😄

Yes, it seems that the movies tofay are about effect, sex, ot much plot.

The ghost and mrs. muir is a good old clssic.

That's a very good movie also, although I haven't seen it in quite some time.

The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941)
Scrooge - Albert Finney or George C. Scott version
Miracle on 34th Street    (1947)
It's a Wonderful Life  (1946)
How Green Was My Valley (1941)
The Grapes of Wrath (1940)


Are a few other classics I enjoy often.

I think part of the problem is that Directors lose a little bit of the what made their earlier movies great- having a solid direction to what the movie is about.  Now they try and make movies more cerebral and ambiguous so it's left open to interpretation in a poor attempt to reach a broader audience. Which when done to an already established franchise like Alien, just makes the sequels fall flat in any real direction and meaning to the viewer.


Fun fact: The Alien Franchise goes through the movie classifications overall in the way they are formatted.

Alien - Suspense
Aliens- Horror
Aliens 3- Drama
Alien: Resurrection - Comedy
Prometheus - Adventure
Alien: Covenant - Thriller


I also enjoyed Baby Driver.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I went and seen the remake of 'Pet Sematary' last night.   It was done really well with just enough differences in the story line to make it unique without losing the overall feel of the original story.

I love reading Stephen King and I'm glad to see some of his stories getting redone properly, IMHO.   "IT" (2017) was also enjoyable and would recommend it.

Nice!!!

Lol!!!

(((I'm Loving This Thread BTW!!!)))

I have literally seen so, so, so many movies and/or shows...

My brain is a huge memory bank full of all kinds of video and audio... It's pretty mind blowing to actually stop and think about just how much the human brain can store when it comes to things like that...

Long story short... I love sharing and discussing movies etc...
