Donnie Brasco was really a great movie.
good but not worthy of a second watch


nothing like the great movies that you can watch a dozen times

This list is so long for me. I really would like to share but it's just... too long.


I've sold over 3000 movies over the last 3 years and what I have left are movies that I will NEVER part with.


Just to name a few: The Clint Eastwood "Dirty Harry" series or even something like "Illegal Tender" with Wanda de Jesus (and BTW, she is one "built" hardcore woman also in a few cool Clint Eastwood movies.

I will watch a choice number of Fast and Furious movies, "Tokyo drift" being one of my favorites, probably just because of "Neela" ~ mmmmmmm... so gorgeous.

"Winters Bone" (don't get excited, it's not what you think homos) This is a damn good fuckin' movie. I have watched it at least 50 times.


"Oh brother where are thou" ~ very strange sense of humor. Most people I know can't relate, but if you are one of the few who can, you will have all the one-liners memorized by the third watch.


"True Romance" ~ the scene between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is still unrivaled to this day.


"Gran Torino" ~ Clint Eastwood. Great Story, period.


"Missing" with Tommy Lee Jones (and trust me when I say: I am not a TLJ fan!!!)


Any Charles Bronson movies except for the last few he made before he passed. "Hard Times" in B & W is a classic. "Murphy's Law" is impossible to find.


The LAST "Rambo"


Anything by Quentin Tarantino, especially the Grindhouse duo ~


That is all... for now.  :P

Anyone remember a Jason & the Argonauts type movie, maybe from 60s or 70s where someone had to do battle in an arena with a giant invisible monster? The hero could only see impressions in the dirt where the monster walked. It may even be Jason/Argonauts but I believe it was that type genre movie.

Yeah, the Sinbad movies were great too.
I actually much prefer the stop-motion effects to CGI (which is usually just plain awful).
Far more effort and creativity involved.

A variety of fantastic creatures are on hand, and while the concepts are superb, the poorly-built props render all of the wireframe supports and hastily-sewn seams visible on film. As a result, the best monster in the film is invisible. While captive, Sindbad is forced to do battle with a fearsome creature as a crowd looks on – the creature leaves giant footprints as it stalks Sindbad within an arena.

Thanks, that seems like the same movie I described from a short clip of the scene I just saw on the YT trailer. Netflix doesnt have it although its on YT for a $1.99 viewing.
