Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
I don't count?
I started to watch Bang Rajan this morning before Mass just to get an idea if it's suitable to watch with an 11 year old. No language or nudity problems but a whole lot of violence in the first 8 minutes. Still too early to tell if I'll let Michael watch it. Tog wrote me some about his martial arts background but I don't remember the details and no longer have that PM. |

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
Bob, my husband and I were just watching Taxi Driver and commenting on the fact that if Martin Scorsese had just made a single movie, and it had been Taxi Driver and then he kicked off, it would have been like the best movie ever.
I know he did a lot of other stuff, Godfather series etc, but the combo of him with Di Niro, Jodie Foster and Harvey Keitel in Taxi Driver was so good it was almost scary. Then that creepy lowdown jazz score behind everything....goosebumps, LOL

Absolutely G.A. it's tough for me to find a lot of flicks believable but that had a long lasting impression.

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
Don't feel bad, I'm a compulsive SNF watcher myself. It drives my friends bonkers, because I'm normally a rudie and they just don't get it.

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
I'm new but will just jump in anyhow..lol
There are many movies that I love. I am a big John Wayne fan. I would add many of his movies to the inspirational category. Here are a few more: The Ultimate Gift Field of Dreams Mr. Holland’s Opus The Sound of Music Follow Me Boys Follow Me Boys has to be one of the best. It may be because it is just good, or be because of how it reminds me of a great uncle, who was just as dedicated the the boys....and was a similar scoutmaster. aaron |

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
I tend to go more for horror and sci fi. Not exactly I guess what most would term "inspirational" but I don;t really watch movies to be inspired, just to be entertained.
My 14 year old and I were watching "Mimic 3" on Sci Fi last night and it was such a load of dog poo...whereas, the original 'Mimic' was actually a pretty good creepo film. It has these bugs....oh well you just have to see it LOL We were discussing the fact at lunch today that 'back in the day' when mom was younger than her, maybe 10-11, all the movies with bugs and dinosaurs and stuff were mainly black and white films where they had taken actual creatures (like real ants or spiders of maybe an iguana for a dino film) and filmed it up real close, then put all the people in front of it all blown up huge so that they looked like little inch tall folks. She finds it difficult to believe that they didn't have Industrial Light and Magic to build realistic monsters in the 1960's and early 70's like the shark in Jaws or the alien in Alien, and when I explained to her that we actually did not have computers capable of viewing, much less generating, graphics and stuff like we have now until well into the 90's she was stunned. AH, youth....

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
I LOVE Braveheart...
"Ego nunquam pronunciari mendacium! Sed ego sum homo indomitus." And Saturday Night Fever... '... the only way you're gonna survive is to do what you think is right, not what they keep trying to jam you into. You let 'em do that and you're gonna end up in nothing but misery! " The Breakfast Club... "I never did it either. I'm not a nymphomaniac. I'm a compulsive liar. " Clint Eastwood movie fan too... "Well, if there's gonna be any shooting, I gotta get my rest." "You know you're a nag? A very pretty one, but a nag." "You think nuns don't laugh?...I don't know, I never spent the night with one before." I could go on... Hope it's a great Monday y'all! ~Cheryl

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
most of the moves I'm really in to would probably not be ever ones cup of tea but i like moves that have well developed and interesting characters which leaves out 98% of all Hollywood moves
favorite moves going backward Blue Citrus hart 2007 Shelter 2006 Lonely harts club 2001? Crouching Tiger hidden Dragon 2000 What's Eating Gilbert Grape ? dispirit lives (not that schlock seres)1999 Dead Poet society ? i cant remember I'm old you know! Grand canyon 1993 ? Eagles 1982 Omega Man 1974 ? the Boys in the Band 1969/ Sunday bloody Sunday 1968? Fahrenheit 1967 All About Eve 1967? The guns over Navarron ? dont think i spelled that right but i was under 6 when it came out thats just a drop in the bucket i didn't want to boar you but i think from the titles iv selected you can get a pretty good idea of my taste Now if you want to open this up to favorite Books we could really get a good thread going

Re: Let's talk about Movies which Inspire You
i left out one
QB7 not because it was such a good move but because it was the first move to bring out publicly what the Nazis doctors did to the people that were interred in the concentration camps i think it was 1965 or 1967ish black and white it left an indelible lesson in my mind i did not see the move until 1976 my parents felt it was to intense for me to watch at any younger an age this was were i developed my intense dislike of war and the cruelties of man ageist his fellow man sorry if thats preachy Many of the moves i have listed are there because of the lessons i learned from them i have been impacted by every one of them in some way
