I have not been motivated to hit the box office lately, but have grown a bit nostalgic I suppose for films I knew when growing up, and have revisited a few recently that have made me pine for the days when a good picture was not entirely over-run by special effects, or Tom Cruise.
Here is a short list of Classics - for the doldrums of Summer
SUPERMAN - Christopher Reeves is the ONLY superman in my book. It is a bit heart breaking that they have tried to remake this film. Margot kidder kicks what's her names ass in the Lois Lane dept, and sorry Kevin Spacey, but NO ONE can hold a candle up to Gene Hackman's Lex !
The scenes with Marlon Brando are amazing - check out his cool eye make-up ( I fuckin LOVE Brando ! ) The first film is just epic, and most of the special effects hold up, but he power is in the story, and the actors - every single one of them are pitch perfect.
SUPERMAN 2 - Tarrence Stamp in a black pleather get-up wanting to rule the planet 'Huston' -for no other reason than to make everyone kneel before him, just so he can spare their life - need I say more !
ALIENS - Sigourney is SO androdgenous. She IS the film.
THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS - Why coulnd't Hawk-Eye have a boyfriend- some hot red blooded lad ? Ah, well ... Just substitute the chick for, uh ,yourself and have a god time jumping down water falls.
Raiders of The Lost Ark - The relationship between Indy and Marion is more brother and sister like, and Denholm Elliot is HOT... Then Speilberg had to fuck things up the second time around by throwing his screaming wife into the picture ( Blech !! ) Bring back Marion !
the best line / Indy to Salah :
" I'm just making this up as I go. "
Anyhoo - Any reccomendations ?
I'm stuck in re-run city here
