The Road Warrior! How could I have forgotten that one! I probably watched it a dozen times. By far the best of the Mad Max movies.

“Suspect our tastes in music might be similar”

If you like The Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Beatles & Pink Floyd....

***Bro’, you got an insane memory, or that list was pre-prepared***

All those are in my personal collection. And I got dozens more I haven’t mentioned along with lots of Westerns.

I got them all listed. :-D

Just watched ZULU again last night!

I saw it and their were some vets in the audience and I heard sniffles at the end. Very Powerful movie and one of Mels best. So if we are talking action and including Military I want to say Hamburger Hill still one of the best Vietnam movies, sadly overshadowed by Platoon a POS movie showing the worst of our men in Vietnam.

I will have to see The Four Feathers

It has been made into a movie several times and all are good!

I saw a very good B&W version, Korda’s color version (the best), a made for TV version and the new 2002 version.

I have not seen STORM OVER THE NILE, but have seen EAST OF SUDAN which uses some of the footage in a different story of the same happenings. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060362/

It doesn’t exist. There is no boat house at the Regiment training grounds in Hereford.

Die Hard....any movie that every movie compared itself to for years has to be on the list

Dirty Dozen

and my ultimate guilty pleasure because of the ridiculous cheese: Demolition Man

The "D" motif was purely incidental
