Speaking of Lee Marvin....
Dirty Dozen
Paint Your Wagon.

Lets not talk about Clint Eastman. I need to start dinner. He makes me weak in the knees and I may burn myself.

Okay. Let's not talk about Clint. He does not make me weak in the knees. (I used to date a lady who said he made her panties wet).
I like his later stuff. And, I think he is a stand up guy in real life. (If we ever really know).

Needless to say, I am a big fan of MooreĆ¢??s, applauded his Oscar speech,
consider myself as far Left as he does, and believe he is one of the
boldest, most original voices in pop culture today.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Maybe you just left the TV on too long.
I OWN Caveman. Ringo Starr met Barbara Bach on the set of that movie and are still married to this day. FUNNY movie...... (I was very stoned back then.... but I still like it)

Okay, it does have it's moments. About two. Really hard to watch Ringo try to act. Ms. Bach very easy to watch however. Matter of fact, I think she deserves and Oscar just for showing up.

Ringo try to act????? There were NO WORDS!!!! That is why it was perfect for him.... Laughing

Not to mention, I think it was Dennis Quaid's first movie.

Plus the acting was not really the best. But I admit to liking some movies that are also dumb with not the best acting Big Grin so I'm not trying to give you a hard time... well OK maybe a little Smiling

I never though of the political aspect until now or that the premise of the movie was designed to support the NRA or Reagan's policies but it looks like it did whether is was meant to or not.
I don't much care about the acting or storyline...C. Thomas Howell was in it... Wink Big Grin

For my top five, I picked movies that I can watch again and again and they don't get old. For instance, True Lies is not a classic movie but I love that movie. The mix of comedy, action and love story just makes it for me. I am not a Tom Arnold or Arnold S. lover but they really pulled it off in this movie.

The other ones I mentioned, like Red Dawn, are movies that spoke to me in some way at the time but aren't so good when watched now. When I saw Red Dawn, I was about 19 or 20, living in Germany on a military base with missiles pointed at us from across the border. The communist (and terrorist) threats at the time were very real. To me this was more of a coming of age movie (and it didn't hurt that Patrick Swayze was in it)....

Larry mentioned The Stand in some post and I almost put it on my list. I didn't because the book was so good and although the movie (miniseries) was good and I do watch it often, I hate Molly Ringwold in it. A cardboard cutout could have acted better than her in this movie.

I didn't put The Stand on the list because it was the BOOK that I loved. The movie, not so much.
