Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
Heyyy... site kinda slow on posts, so let's have a wreckable thread...k...
I like movies which have the Never Give Up Hope thingy. This really inspired me especially when I went through the dark days of my financial tsunami. My all time fav is a very well made Thai Movie called Bang Rachan which is a real historical situation that happened long, long ago. The story is about how a small village that got into the way of a massive Burmese invasion of Thailand. With their little resources they held up the invasion for months until the Burms were so fed up, they sent a huge force of 200,000 soldiers to crush the couple hundred of villagers. In their final defense, all the warriors died, men, women and the elderly folks. It was a very touching story which shows that with grit and determination, common folks can go the max. I think in English, it is called the Village Warriors. To this day, the huge bronze monument of the warriors still stand in that village. Of course I do like the film The 300 Spartans and the remake, 300. Love the motto, Never Say Die! So what's yours? Pray tell.....  |

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
Hey Jeff, Red Dawn.... I like the concept of the invasion. I wonder how many people remember this movie with the blokes there like Charlie Sheen still a kid.

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
That inspired me (in no particular order)...
Breakfast at Tiffany's Barefoot in the Park Equilibrium Dark City Dogma Wag the Dog Platoon Apocalypse Now War INC K-Pax Pulp Fiction Kundun The Guru (with Jimi Mistry and Heather Graham, not that horrible Mike Meyers thing) That are my favourites (ie I could watch them again and again and again)... Grosse Point Blank The Dark Knight Cold Dog Soup Born in East LA The Usual Suspects Kill Bill The lists are by no means complete; I watch LOTS of movies because I can't stand commercial breaks, and most of what's on TV is really insipid. |

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
The Song of Bernadette (I loaned this DVD to a friend of mine once and he watched it over 100 times before I got it back and then I bought him his own DVD as a birthday present).
Therese - The Story of Saint Therese of Lisieux The Chronices of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as well as Prince Caspian Beverley Hills Chihuahua (a little bit, anyways)

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
Red Dawn....WOW! I loved that movie back in the day! The ones I could watch over and over again (and have), are The Hunt for Red October (One Ping Only Please), Sommersby, and First Knight. Yes, I confess I love me some Sean Connery.

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
Stefanie, I bought Bang Rajan a few days ago and will be watching it real soon after it arrives. I've got some private messages from your dad about the movie and am sure I will be thinking about all of our great discussions when I watch the movie. I miss him a lot!

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
I can tell you which movies get me all choked up with positive emotion:
Casablanca- the Marseilles scene always get me. Gettysburg- the defense of Little Round Top by the 20th Maine under Col. Joshua Chamberlain on 7/2/1863. When they charge downhill into the face of the advancing Confederates, I feel like standing up and shouting. Air Force One- "Get off of my plane." Need I say more? One of the great movie lines of all time. Band of Brothers- the entire series. Saving Private Ryan-I still get choked up when the old Ryan kneels down at the grave of Capt. Miller (Hanks). Space Cowboys- the entire movie. A treat for an old geezer like me.
