Favourite pirate movie that's not the Crimson Pirate and doesn't have Errol Flynn in it: Pirates of the Caribbean.
Five favourite Peter O'Toole movies?
Contributor, RPG Superstar 2008 Top 4, Legendary Games

Creator
The Stunt Man
Ratatouille
and then not because they're anything great but because they are movies I have seen Peter O'Toole in:
Troy
Joan of Arc (TV movie)
Yes, I haven't seen most of his great roles.
Five reputed-to-be-great movies that you've never seen but actually would like to?
My country-woman, Greta Garbo (transitioned very well to the talkies).
Favourite Swedish actor or director with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?
That rules out Seka, right? :)
HA!:)
My country-woman, Greta Garbo (transitioned very well to the talkies).
Favourite Swedish actor or director with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?
So, Tim Allen has a Star, but Ingmar Bergman doesn't? WTF!?!
Although, I guess he never made a flick for Hollywood, but, then again, neither did Neil Armstrong.
Anyway, Ingrid.
Oscar winner that you hate?
So, Tim Allen has a Star, but Ingmar Bergman doesn't? WTF!?!
Wow....yeah...
Oscar winner that you hate?
Sandra Bullock.
Favorite ham?
BRIAN BLESSED!! - damn but the man was brilliant in I Claudius, Blackadder, and Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Favourite actor who appeared in the 1980 version of Flash Gordon.
Max von Sydow, to stick with the Swedish Bergman theme.
Favorite Oscar-winning movie that you hate?
(Which is what I meant before, but Sandra Bullock is an excellent answer.)
Favourite actor who appeared in the 1980 version of Flash Gordon.
Max Von Sydow....hands down light years better than pretty much anyone else in the film.
*EDIT*
Opps! Too slow!
Question removed

THE GRADUATE
I HATE that film. At the end of the movie you're going to run off with the guy who was screwing your Mom for months and ruined your parents marriage? WHAT??? If it wasn't the end of the movie I would have turned it off. STUPID!
Who is your favorite Mad Max villain?
Master Blaster runs Barter Town!
Favorite movie that features a work-stoppage, strike or picket line?
Saying this again is boring, but... I saw Brassed Off at a very impressionable age, and it has a bloody amazing version of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez intermixed with images of desperate union reps negotiating with the cold-hearted axe-men who wants to close the pit. (And it's based on a true story.)
The overture from Wilhelm Tell ain't that shabby either. Who knew the butler at Downtown Abbey could conduct a brass band?
In the name of balance: Favourite movie about a dogged entrepreneur making it big?
Does Flash of Brilliance even count for that?
Favorite movie where the hero doesn't get the girl?
Favorite non-Scorcesean film about taxi cabs?
EDIT: Or episode of Taxi with Latka and Louie DiPalma, if you can't think any other movies, Badger.
I am quite fond of Brassed Off as well.
"Does the music matter? B##$~**s!"

D.C. Cab!!!! - Haven't seen it in years and if I saw it today I'd probably think it was completely retarded, but I still remember fun quotes from it 30 years later, so it must be doing something right.
Favorite war movie about a war prior to the 20th century?
André Hennicke as Roland Freisler in Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage.
Favourite prosecutor in a movie where we're supposed to be rooting for the defendant?
Tom Stall in A History of Violence
Heh, you and your comics!
Viggo Mortensen Trivia: According to Ed Harris, who bankrolled, wrote, starred in, produced, and directed Appaloosa, Viggo Mortensen was so good as Everett Hitch that, when Mortensen declined Harris' offer to appear in the sequels, Harris canned the sequels instead of recasting the character.
Huh. I, perhaps unfairly, don't credit Viggo with all that much, but thems is some accolades.
André Hennicke as Roland Freisler in Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage.
Favourite prosecutor in a movie where we're supposed to be rooting for the defendant?
Jessica Lange in Music Box
Favorite movie with Nazis set after the end of World War II?
Psst, Goblin! Jason Nelson scooped you with over an hour.
Oh, woops.
I quoted from KJ when I meant to quote from JN.
Jessica Lange is the defense attorney for possible Nazi war criminal pop Armin Mueller-Stahl.
Favorite movie with Nazis set AFTER World War II?
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
Favourite Bogart movie?
Huh. I, perhaps unfairly, don't credit Viggo with all that much, but thems is some accolades.
I never thought that much of him myself, but I figure Ed Harris probably knows better than I do.
P.S. I really liked Appaloosa.
P.P.S. Really, a lot!
P.P.P.S. Ed, make the sequels, damn you!
Favourite Bogart movie?
Maltese Falcon is my favorite movie, period, so I'll skip that one and pick from the remaining Bogart movies. I'll have to go with The Big Sleep -- not as "deep" as Casablanca, Treasure of Sierra Madre, or Caine Mutiny, maybe, but Bogart steals the show, and nobody else could have pulled it off half as well as he does (Robert Mitchum tried and failed, miserably).
Q: Favorite 3 film renditions of Dashiell Hammett and/or Raymond Chandler works that do not star Humphrey Bogart?

Tom Stall in A History of ViolenceHeh, you and your comics!
That movie was based on a comic? Never heard of it.
Viggo Mortensen Trivia: According to Ed Harris, who bankrolled, wrote, starred in, produced, and directed Appaloosa, Viggo Mortensen was so good as Everett Hitch that, when Mortensen declined Harris' offer to appear in the sequels, Harris canned the sequels instead of recasting the character.
The more I hear or read about Viggo, the more I find him very endearingly eccentric. He just seems a little ODD, in a fun, unpredictable, almost trickster-god kind of way. Just listening to things like the LotR commentaries it's crazy all the stuff that he got up to on and off the set, and I've heard similar stuff from other movies he's worked on. Just a real character.
I'm totally going to cheat, because that is fun:
Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train adapted for the screen by Chandler from Patricia Highsmith's novel.
Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity adapted for the screen by Chandler from James M. Cain's story.
The Thin Man. There was only one book by Dash, but William Powell and Myrna Loy (hello, nurse!) were so popular, Hollywood made five more!
And people think Hollywood's obsession with re-remakes and sequels is something new...
Favorite movie about killing your spouse?
Am passing on question, because otherwise I'd have to answer Sunset Boulevard and I've already mentioned a Billy Wilder film today.
That movie was based on a comic? Never heard of it.
A History of Violence is a 2005 American crime thriller film directed by David Cronenberg and written by Josh Olson. It is an adaptation of the 1997 graphic novel of the same name by John Wagner and Vince Locke.
DOA
Favorite "B" movie?
Pootie Tang
American remake of a foreign film you liked better than the original?
Going against pretty much every reviewer, profession or otherwise - The Departed.
Favourite non-American police-movie?
Favorite movie about slacker twentysomethings?
Unbreakable takes place in the city I currently reside: Philadelphia.
Most favorite James Hong role?
Lo Pan, of course.
Favorite D&D-themed Chinese movie?

I think The Forbidden Kingdom is the ONLY sorta D&D-themed Chinese movie I've seen.
Here's a curveball...
What is your favorite scene/character/event from the Dungeons and Dragons movie? I mean honestly, not ironically, not "nothing" and not "the part where it ended" or "the part where I dreamed I went back in time and made sure everybody associated with the movie was never born."
Was there some part of the movie that ever made you go, "Hey, that was kinda cool"?
|
Yes! The part in the movie where they had to find a ruby "Eye of the Dragon" owned by a Thief (the skeletal dude from Rocky Horror). They had to go through a maze with traps. That part was cool to me. Seeing a Beholder float around was cool too.
On another D&D like movie, what was your favorite part in the New Conan the Barbarian flick? If no one has seen it, then please feel free to start another question.

I laughed out loud when Conan used the catapult to send a message to the BBEG. That seemed like a very Conan thing to do.
Worst reboot to date?
