I got to thinking about movies I haven’t seen in forever. There’s more than this but can you name movies you really liked but seldom are mentioned as your favorites or you’ve completely forgotten how much you liked them? I’ll start.
Things to do in Denver when you’re dead.
Christopher Walken, Andy Garcia, Christopher Lloyd
Sleepers
Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon, Jason Patric, Robert Di Niro
Billy Crudup, Ron Eldard, Dustin Hoffman, Minnie Driver
Man what a star studded cast. If you’ve never seen it, it’s on the must see list once.

Dazed and Confused, it won't ever be mentioned in the top 1000 movies ever but the movie has a cult following and it was Matthew McConaugheys breakout flick. If you were a kid growing up in the 70's/early 80's you could likely relate to it. Also if you are a fan of classical vehicles this movie is chock full of them! Allright Allright Allright!
I watched "The Unforgiven" the other night. That is a good flick! "The Thin Red Line" is scary real. Check it out. Best comedy ever, "Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?".....hands down......Down To The River To Pray......and....NOT THE LIVESTOCK!
“The Good Shepard”
A favorite of mine
Shawshank Redemption, I loved that movie.
Oh no, I asked my wife and she said Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Swayze, oh stop it, just stop it!
Diablo was a good movie, it stars Scott Eastwood, Clint Eastwood's son, and it has an insane plot twist.
Too popular for this thread. Everyone has watched and loved Shawshank. Stop being obtuse

Wife watches it all the time. That’s your second gong. One more try and in the corner you go.

Saved by the bell. On my list to see.

Seen The Unforgiven many times. It’s Clints way after all the westerns and killing to add some humanity to taking a life. Powerful movie and a great cast.

If she starts watching Saturday Night Fever, then you're in trouble!
About once a month. 😔

I'm sorry to hear that, stay strong.
Are you guys talking about 'The Unforgiven' or 'Unforgiven'. Two different movies. Unforgiven is the Eastwood movie.
A young Milla Jovavich is my favorite cast member in this flick.
A movie I saw on TV a few months ago that I had never even heard of previously.
'Hell or high water' with Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine. Worth watching!
Everyone have a great evening, I'm off to see what gambling tips Joe Buck has for us in tonight's world series game.
Boyz n the hood is a classic.
Colors is also a classic.
You want a good science fiction slow burning thriller, watch Europa Report. Is there life on Jupiter's moon Europa, find out!
Funniest thing -22 years ago, at the time I lived by myself, not even had a watchdog. Watched Blair Witch Project not knowing it was a fake movie and by the time it ended at night I was scared to death of every sound the house made - I think I loaded every gun I had and put myself into the corner of my bedroom so if anybody came down the hallway I'd have aim!
As a kid I always spent time in the woods and at night it was creepy as hell so this just played me - LOL!!!

Ice Cube just gave up 9 Mill - must be nice to be able to do that!

I'm sorry, but all of you who haven't said ROAD HOUSE here can check in to the looney bin right proper now.
Long Gone, baseball movie with William Peterson.
Amazing Grace and Chuck. Sports/political movie. I enjoyed Alex English in his role. Also has William Peterson by coincidence. Jamie Lee Curtiss too. Gregory Peck.
The Great Santini. Basketball movie with Robert Duvall and the main kid from Caddyshack.
All The Right Moves. High School Football movie with Tom Cruise. They did a great job casting actors portraying the working class high school students. Vinnie Salvucci.
The Replacements. Football movie. Keanu Reeves. Gene Hackman. I watch it any time it is on.
The Slugger's Wife. Baseball movie. The kid from Caddyshack again, chasing the home run record on the Atlanta Braves.
Finally, a hidden show that nobody has seen:

A Step too slow. Not a movie, but a basketball episode with Judge Reinhold. He sings a catchy song.
Pain don't hurt
Another one:
Coach from 1978. A woman faces sexism as she coaches boys basketball team. Jabberwocky is the code word for hypnosis of one of her players.
Finally, Wildcats from 1986!
Goldie Hawn, a young Wesley Snipes, and Woody Harrelson. Football movie. Here is the trailer. If you watch the movie the credit scenes feature a rap song performance by the cast.
obscure Kevin Costner flick from 1990
solid cast -- Costner, Anthony Quinn, Madeleine Stowe (looking hot throughout), Miguel Ferrer, John Leguizamo, Sally Kirkland
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
$9 million is probably like $10 dollars to him, it sure must be nice!
Pretty good choices. I like to see how the incredible minds on this board work.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
The Bounty with Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins is a good movie. It's about a harsh and strict sea captain and a crew that doesn't like him.
After watching that movie I carried a mop handle around for protection for a week!
Any Bogart film is a classic and doesn’t belong here but
Mutiny on the Caine
You like sea faring movies?
In the heart of the Sea

Splinter was a great horror movie.
There will be blood was a great movie about a man that becomes a rich oil baron, and by the end of the movie he becomes totally mad.
My favorite film ever made is True Romance. Written by Quentin Tarantino, directed by Tony Scott and with a caper plot, this film may have assembled the most ‘on the cusp’ cast of all time. I think everyone with more than two lines went on to mega stardom.
Spectacular film with some really, really memorable scenes.

For those that like scary movies, which I don't really but I used to have a VHS tape of the
original zombie movie, "Night of the living dead". Considered a classic of the genre.
And you can't beat the sheriff in this movie for being succinct and to the point.
Reporter- "Are they slow moving, Chief?"
Sheriff- "Yeah, they're dead. They're all messed up".
Saw it at a midnight showing in 1971.

Forest Gump in reverse. Great movie. Cate is a treasure and we are lucky to have her.

must have been a very shocking movie in the context of the times. a couple years before the exorcist and Texas Chainsaw were released in 73
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.
We were doing some illegal things, ahem and the head at the top of the stairs scared the bejesus out of me. I was 15 at the time.
There’s a documentary on Midnight Movies on one of the pay channels (HBO or one of those). If you have a chance, check out the history of the midnight show

I hated the end of that movie but otherwise very good
I'm pretty claustrophobic to the point I have a difficult time getting on an elevator and this movie really screwed with me....................... "The Descent"

@Steven59
I agree. I have no idea how anyone can go deep into caves, crawl through holes barely wide enough for their heads a d find it adventurous
