Who is your...


Favorite movie character? Good TV thread was started yesterday, how about film characters?

I will start with Salacious B. Crumb
Hahahahahahahahahhaha

Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) - The Searchers

reply

Good pick

reply

Smokey- Friday

reply

Alex - A Clockwork Orange
Mister Shhh- Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead

reply

Alex is my droog, seriously though I support nothing he does, but man, after I watched that movie, I was cured alright

reply

Ha!

Yeah, he's not the kind of guy you'd want to hang out with on a Saturday night but what a character.
Captivating from start to finish.

reply

Best black comedy of all time, though I find Barry Lyndon similarly hilarious and intelligent at times

reply

Funny you mentioned that.
I was never was a Ryan O'Neal fan at all. So I never watched that movie until just last year.
I thought it was fantastic!

I'm really sorry it took me that long to watch it.
I'm hoping I can watch it again this year.

reply

Do it, I've never seen Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead, but I will now on your recommendation

reply

It's not a classic by any means but something about that movie I just love.
I'm sure I'm in the minority.
Great cast too.

reply

I'm going for it, right now I'm watching Sudden Death with Van Damme, so classic is definitely not a prerequisite

reply

LOL.

Point well taken.

reply

I've been digging on Peter Hyams movies lately, like Capricorn One and Outlander, also digging on Van Damme and two worlds have definitely satisfyingly collided

reply

I liked Capricorn one.

I always thought he was a strange choice to direct 2010.

reply

2010 is pretty loathsome, but maybe it's because I like 2001 so much, I am a Kubrick fiend

reply

It's pretty bad.
Probably wouldn't have mattered who directed it.
It Kubrick didn't want to do it that should have been a sign.

reply

I have only seen 2001 once and that was enough.

reply

That penguin fight scene is pretty classic in my book.

reply

It just so happens, I watched it just yesterday, dewey. Yes, it has a good cast and initially I thought it was going to be an interesting watch, but the farfetched implausibilities just kept racking up and my final conclusion was agreeing with posters on that board who labeled it a " Tarantino ripoff. " I ended up feeling so disappointed, I'm not even going to mention it this week end in Stonekeeper's movie thread.

Didn't mean to burst your bubble on this but I felt compelled to comment on the coincidence.

reply

No worries.

I know this isn't what would be constituted as a "good" movie.
For some reason I am enamored with this film.
I think a lot of it for me is it has kind of a film noir feel to it mixed with a modern type
of film making.
I like that they had their own old time language too.
For me it was a good mixture of past and present.

reply

" Buckwheats " and " boat drinks. " 😁 Got to admit, that was some colorful gangster lingo that got my attention. Plus, other than Mr. Majestyk, I can't think of another movie where the mob was located in Denver.

reply

"Give it a name."
They really had a way of talking that for me was entertaining.

It also has one of my favorite quotes of all time.

"Life is like a mustard burp, momentarily tangy and then forgotten in the air."

reply

Mine was, " ...life has a way of passing you by faster than any old summer vacation..."

reply

Another great one.
Both different but basically saying the same thing.

reply

Hard to say what's really my favourite movie character. There are way too many good characters. When I think of my favourite movies, I do enjoy Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs quite a lot.

reply

I love Steve Buscemi in like everything he's in, I just watched Horace and Pete, Louis CK web series and Buscemi is transcendent
