Favorite movies

[Agent2]

I have always liked action moves, especially stuff with cars, bikes, etc. On Any Sunday, and Dust To Glory are two awesome films, But Vanishing Point has always been my favorite. First saw it when I was about fifteen years old and I was captivated. Souped up 1970 Dodge Challenger, the desert, defiance of the law, what more could you want? They made a crappy remake a while back which is an insult to the original, don't waste your time on that one.
If you have never seen the original, here is the trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA4ymmXa8rs

Another favorite is Two Lane Blacktop. Starring Dennis Wilson (of The Beachboys), James Taylor (the singer) and Warren Oates. If you ever wondered what the street drag racing scene was like back in the early '70s, this movie pretty much captures it. Not much of a plot, but a lot of street racing, lots of cool muscle cars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhQ3lJWfVtU

I do recommend both flicks.
So, what'cha got? Turn me on to some stuff I might like.

The Fastest Indian!

It is one of my very favorites, with Anthony Hopkins. A moto movie that touches the heart and that I can relate to for a few reasons.

I highly recommend it to every motorcyclist.

i really dig the old car chase movies. Smokie and the bandits, The French Connection, Original gone in 60 seconds, bullit and of course Vanishing Point was a classic. Knowing that the scenes are real is awesome. even with the one big scene in The French Connection they filmed it on the real streets and when you see them slam into a parked car that was someones car and they payed them for it.

when i was a kid my favorite movie was BeastMaster.... tried to rewatch it recently... not the same

The Fastest Indian is an awesome movie.
Seems like from 1968 to 1973 was a great era for action movies, as said French Connection, Chinatown, Eastwood, Bronson, etc.
The comedies of the mid 70's - Mel Brooks etc.
Mad Max, Office Space, Blade Runner, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, all classics.
Burt Reynolds has done some great stuff, Smokey, Gator and of course Boogie Nights.
The biker flicks of the late 60's are another fav of mine, kind of cheesy, but fun to watch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rAIlPWVqME
Hells Angels '69 is a fun timewaster, even has Sonny Barger in it, and some dirtbiking scenes towards the end, here is the whole movie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo7eRK4eA3s
Badlands starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek is another favorite - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcFx06cBmbk
Gary, you aren't missing anything, I cancelled my cable last year, don't miss it at all, and have already saved over $1000.
Hulu has On Any Sunday, Timerider and many more movies available for free viewing - http://www.hulu.com/browse/movies
