Where the Red Fern Grows

Over the Top

BMX Bandits

The Outlaw Josey Wales

Major League 1 & 2-great awesome movies.

Rube Baker may be one of my favorite characters ever.

I wouldn't say it's "forgotten", but I caught On the Waterfront on TCM last weekend. A classic if there ever was one.

And sadly, one of the stars of On the Waterfront, Karl Malden, passed away yesterday at age 97. Here's a great scene from one of the all-time great movies:

not seen lately but some of my favorites growing up

Gleaming the cube

Navy Seals

Tango & Cash

Weird Science

;D

Emmit Otter's Jug Band Christmas ;D

I loved that when I was a kid.

Blade Runner, another one of my old favorites.

It also seems that I can't pass up Roadhouse when it's on TV.

Southern Comfort

Great pick. Originally panned as a Deliverance ripoff when it was released. Critics are useless.

Sorcerer starring Roy Scheider. He's a low level mob guy on the run in Central America. He and three other guys in similar situations have to drive two trucks full of nitro glycerine through the jungle. The bridge crossing scene will blow your mind. I'd be suprised if anyone here remembers it.

The original Taking of Pelham 123 was on the other night.

The African Queen, with Bogart and Hepburn.

The Hustler, with Paul Newman

Thunder Road, with Robert Mitchum

Bridge on the River Kwai

Further back,

High Noon, with Gary Cooper

Sergeant York, with Gary Cooper

Friendly Persuasion, with, ta da, Gary Cooper

Lots of good ones listed so far!

IMO, one of the best films ever made...  The Biscuit Eater  1940.  The 1970's remake was nothing like the original.

Also loved Last of the Dogmen
