October/Goodfellas/Misery

Goodfellas is in the Yella all time top 10. Not too far behind the the Godfather series. But October is the best Clancy movie bar none and I will watch it over and over.

 

[YellowSnow]

The use of Sunshine of You Love in Goodfellas might be the most effective use of a song to set the mood in movie history...

 

[YouKnowIt]

I voted for @Swaye

For unknown reasons, it was years before I saw Goodfellas. Really like the movie and full respect for quality, yadaydada, but it's not one I seek out.

I remember waiting anxiously for months, nay, years from announcement of Hunt for Red October until debut. It delivered.

This is the one for me...

I can't think of another movie more[/i] in your wheelhouse than October.

Goodfellas is far and away the better film - but if I have to chose between the two films, I’m watching Hunt for Red October. I argue it’s more quotable and has a hotter cast.

Especially Fred Thompson...raawwwrrrrr.

I realize now that I have been wrong. All this time, I have been waiting. Waiting for what? For someone to find me? For Indians to take my horse? To see a buffalo? Since I arrived at this post I have been walking on eggs. It has become a bad habit, and I am sick of it. Tomorrow I will ride out to the Indians. I don't know the outcome, or the wisdom of this thinking, but I have become a target. And a target makes a poor impression. I am through waiting."

I respect the greatness of Goodfellas[/i] but am not a huge fan of the gangster genre. Westerns and/or historical epics though...

Dances[/i] takes on an almost spiritual significance to me. It’s masterful.

Just watched DWW a few months ago, and it totally held up. My husband and I, multiple times throughout the movie, turned to each other (with pride) and said something like, "I forgot how good this was."

ATBSJBS, Hunt For Red October is in my top-10 list of movies I've watched by number of times. I fucking love it. If there's any criticism, it's that Alec Baldwin displaces Harrison ford as Jack Ryan in a one-off. He does fine, but it's a weird inconsistency. I love this movie so much that I thought my then-7 and 9 year olds would appreciate it. They did not...

"When I was twelve, I helped my daddy build a bomb shelter in our basement because some fool parked a dozen warheads 90 miles off the coast of Florida..."

Edit: Edward Scissorhands also amazing.

Westerns is my FAVORITE move genre. Still voted Goodfellas. Dances is a wonderful film.

Back in 1998 I went with some peter puffer frens to watch the Director's cut re-release of Das Boot at The Neptune. There were no women in the theater and we were the only guysm under age 50. Lulz.

I am not en zie condition to fuck!!

 

[chuck]

I could've voted for Dances With Wolves or Misery. Goodfellow is top 5-10 for me though. I watch it, or parts of it, pretty much any time I stumble into it.

Quite honestly, Mitch, I don't think Alec Baldwin nor Harrison Ford were great casting for Jack Ryan. Baldwin slightly better. Great movie regardless.

I failed to even read Goodfellas, and immediately thought of three tits lady.

 

[Swaye]

Goodfellows and DWW was a coin flip pretty much, but of course telling the white devils to FUCK OFF won the flip.

You know what I love about the three tits thing? Two hands and a mouth exist on me. I always (by always I mean never because I'm married) feel like I have an extra hand or whatever all ready to go.
