what movies are you watching on your home setup?
 

I just watched (last night) the movie CLUE that's based off the kid's board game, on my "vintage theatre" I have at home. It's really a good movie, IMO. verry funny.:yes:

when your playing the board game CLUE, never be MR. Green. Watch the movie and you'll see what I mean.:lmao::lmao::yuck: :puke: :puke2:

Sanjuro (kurosawa flick, not much good for sound but overall a great movie)
District B-13 (French flick, awesome action:tresbon:)

Boondock Saints (amazing for sight and sound, great action movie!)

Anybody know some good movies for surround sound?

Recently...

Pirates of the Caribean "Dead mans chest", I wasn't thrilled.

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. six bucks at deep discout.

Dark Star

Red Dwarf season VIII.

I don't watch a whole lot of tv. The last movie I saw on the HT setup couple of weeks ago I don't even remember.

The last one that I do remember was Boat House with John Cusack and Sandra Bullock. Falls into the "chick flick" category. I'm out numbered by women in the house, but I actually liked it. I prefer explosions but there hasn't been anything good lately.

As of late...

Battlestar Galactica the Epic series
Kung Fu into the third season already
Dukes of Hazzard season one
Best Of Bizarre Vol. 1&2(John Byner's Showtime comedy show from 1981-lots of topless women)
SCTV Vol.1 now going onto Vol.2

Merlin
Naked Space with Leslie Neilsen (ultimate cheese) DVD
Sinbad with Lou Ferrigno (every voice overdubbed, cheese deluxe)Laserdisc

Delirious Eddie Murphy just released on DVD

French Connection
Midnight Run
Nobody's Fool
Blame it on Rio
Sideways
Body Heat
Red Rock West

"The World's Fastest Indian" -- anybody into vintage anything and the pride involved in it's upkeep and performance will dig this one.

"The Devil and Daniel Johnston" -- stellar documentary on the one and only Mr. Johnston

"Down By Law" -- with Tom Waits and by Mr. Jarmusch.

"Dazed and Confused" -- viewed this one too many times, but sick cars, music and Wooderson's lines-- it's definitely a keeper.

"Sketches of Frank Gehry" -- interesting look into the mind of the eccentric architect.

Cheers..

Parents-my girlfriend thought it was "icky"
Anybody seen it?
Back to the Future I-my 2 younger kids (girl 11-boy 8) loved it, and so did I-again.

Crank -- DOA done as a comedy in the style of a music video -- wonderful
Saw III -- sucked

Today I watched "The Departed". Nicholson still has it. Man, he plays an excellent bad guy. Good flick.

Watched Crank recently, thought it was hilarious, adrenaline keeps Jason Statham alive after being injected with some unknown poison time bomb. Love the scene in the convenience mart. :thmbsp:

The Descent Original Unrated Cut 2006
After a tragic opening, thrill seeking girlfriends go on a caving trip and get trapped with some scarry creatures. Watch it in the dark with the volume up. Makes ya jump. :thmbsp:

The classic Serpico lined up for this evening.:huge:

Pandora's Box eh? Very good.

My recent picture watching

The Departed----a stinker IMO

Flags of our Fathers----pretty good picture

Star Wars----was on HBO-HD

Serenity----pretty good picture, HBO-HD

Sergeant York----what can you say

The Fountainhead----this picture is delirious, hallaucingenic, Coop with his rock drill and Neal with her riding crop. Amazing cast and King Vidor too.

Springfield Rifle----Very interesting early 1950s Gary Cooper picture with The War of the Rebellion seen as the Cold War and the Confederates as Communists.

Just watched last night...

Zoom - pretty funny show with Tim Allen - great if you have kids

Open Season - pretty funny show - great if you have kids

See a theme starting here? :D

Scott

Thursday: The Departed I liked it but the ending was, umm... a bit odd.

Friday:

1. Rock Around The Clock, another Rocksploitation film from 1956 with Alan Freed.

Great fun although it's impossible to hear the Bill Haley song and not think of Happy Days, in fact there is a montage in the film that must have been the inspiration for the Happy Days opening.

2. Angels In The Outfield. 1951 This one has a great shot of a
large Zenith Porthole TV set :D

Also on this disc was a comedy short "Donkey Baseball" and aTom & Jerry cartoon "Jerry and the Goldfish"

Watching Dumb&Dumber tonite on the Vintage Home Theartr system.:yes:

Eric, I LOVE your old TV website. Takes me back 50 years.

Thank you Tom, glad you liked it! :yes:

Let's see
Seven
Hell Boy
Kill Bill, etc..

I have so many. I'll go rent a movie. Then I lie to my PC program when It asks is this a borrowed or rented DVD.
I feel alittle miffed lying to a PC.

Flags of Our Fathers - :thmbsp: :thmbsp: A good movie but not a great one. We saw Letters From Iwo Jima in the theater and both felt that it was much better. Seeing both is highly recommended.

The Devil Wears Prada - :thmbsp: :thmbsp: Meryl Streep in fine form and Anne Hathaway is "sensationally entertaining in every way"

Dumb and Dumber---just saw this and I really like it. Love the trick on the cop:lmao::D :D:lmao:

Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitarfest on DVD-A in Surround CRANKED IT UP.
