What are some of your favorite films? A curious, inquiring mind wants to know.
I really dread questions like this
'Its too hard...I AINT tough enough Sarge!!'
Ok ill try:
Conan the Barbarian
Goodfellas
Platoon
The original Scwartzie Conan is my all time fave (feel free to roll your eyes lol i get that all the time)
I might sub The Goonies or Star Wars or Lost Ark for one of the others...i guess there are more but man...
Tough question!
Conan??
π
I know right?!?
In a world where The Godfather, The Wizard of Oz and The Aviator exist, my favorite movie is Arnie's Conan...i have no excuse
I just love it
Don't feel bad about it. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla (and sometimes strawberry). We all have our guilty pleasures.
π
Air Force One
shareBeauty and the Beast, Reservoir Dogs and The Usual Suspects (yes, I know) have always been my favourites. Special mention to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai!
share"Reservoir Dogs" was a good film.
sharePsst...careful with this gal friend...shes a sly fox
Next thing you know she'll have you watching Bollywood movies;)
Oh, so you've already finished Kuch Kuch Hota Hai??? I've got a few others for you then. Anything with the great Shahrukh Khan is gold. They don't call him King Khan for nothing!
shareJeez cant we just watch St Elmos Fire instead?
shareOnly if I can tie you up in my basement.
shareIm not sure theres room down there what with all the other guys youve 'collected'
And jeez, do you EVER run out of rope lady?
No worries, there's a hardware store right down the street.
shareThis is all in very poor taste and you should be ashamed of yourself!
So...figure around 8-ish?
LOL!
π
This crazy dame demands punctuality!
share
Stratego is a dame?
π
Shes the damiest!
share
Is that a real word?
π
It certainly is now friend!
Its the internet...everything we say is real...i think?
Of course it is! Did you ever have any doubt? If you did or do, just ask Morgan Fairchild, my WIFE! Yeah, that's the ticket, my wife.
π
You make a sweet couple
My wife Rosario Dawson and i would love to host you both in our mansion for dinner
Cocktails by the olympic sized pool start at 4
Dress casually
Sounds delish! Let me check with my social secretary to see if we can make it. Toodles!
BTW, when did you two wonderful kids tie the knot? I knew you were "dating", but I didn't know it had gotten serious.
π
Rosie and i (thats what i call her...deep love and all... you know how these gals are about awesome dudes like us)
had our blessed ceremony just prior to the Thor premier ...shes a Fan'boy' like me so love at first sight:)
Wedding night was amazing
I rocked her world
High Five, Bro1
Outstanding! I did, and continue to do the same for Morg (my pet name for Morgan). She is one happy and satisfied woman! All women would love to be so happy.
π
She must be in heaven bro...what lady wouldnt be!
share
But of course! Just like Rosie. Oh wait, is it okay if I call her Rosie?
π
Sure
But only on my spectaculr balcony overlooking the fabulous ocean views
Thanks. it's so nice to have one of those, don't you think/
π
One!?!
My dear man...Rosie and i have two!
One overlooks the Pacific and the other the Alantic
Im certain your abode is of similar vastness and awsomitude
(Yes thats a word...internet;)
You put me to shame, old chap. That's why you're the second most interesting man in the world, and I'm languishing down here at number three.
π
You're invited as well! I've got more than enough rope!
share
Outstanding! Should I bring anything?
π
Just some sour cream dip.
share
You got the chips?
π
We won't need any chips for that!
share
ALL RIGHTY THEN! I like where you're going with that!
WHEW!! Now I'm getting really hot and bothered.
PS Did you invite Shogun?
π
He always invites himself.
share
But of course he does! He is, after all, the Second Most Interesting Man in the World!
I come in at number three.
π
Let me guess who's at number one. Richard Simmons?
share
No, the Dos Equis Beer dude.

π
That must be the blandest guy I've ever seen...
share
An interesting reaction, Strat. I think he's pretty cool. That's why he's number one, and I'm only number three.
If you ask really nice, I might even tell you why I'm number three.
π
I'm shocked, if it weren't for Richard Simmons, I'd put you at number one. But pray tell, why are you only at number three?
share
Well because the Dos Equis guy is Number One, and Shogun is Number Two. Shogun is one awesome dude! Did you know that he's married to Rosario Dawson? She is one hot babe!
At number three I humbly list my qualifications:
I'm a world traveler, having been to all 50 states in the US, 30 other countries, and five continents, including Africa.
I'm a registered scuba diver, and have dove to 110 feet under the Atlantic Ocean.
I hold a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do (Korean Karate)
I have been skydiving.
I have been hang gliding.
I have been para sailing (totally different thing).
I've ridden in a powered parachute.
I have ridden in an old time bi-wing airplane.
I have taken Ultra Light Lessons, and have flown five times.
I'm a storm chaser. I've been on four storm chasing trips, and have seen 30 tornadoes with my own eyes.
Once when we were only 300 yards from an approaching tornado, the van took off without two of us! Fortunately they quickly realized their mistake, and stopped to pick us up. Close call there.
I have seen the Aurora from Coldfoot Camp, Alaska
(60 miles north of the Arctic Circle) in December at
a temperature of -40 F.
In February, it will be "Goooooooooood Morning, Vietnam! I'm taking an 18 day tour of Vietnam, Cambodia, with three days at the end in Bangkok. (Cue the song "One Night in Bangkok".)
I love Blue Moon Beer.
I could go on, but I might sound like I was bragging.
And most of all, I'm soft spoken and very humble.
π
Yeah, I'm still gonna put Richard Simmons at number one. But buy me a six-pack of Blue Moon beer and I might reconsider.
shareForgive me if i ask,but can you find other location? Seems that you love the basement.

With the exception of "Chariots of Fire", I never saw any of the movies that you've listed. "Chariots of Fire" was definitely a good one.
shareAll these considered neo noir films and they are my favorites.
U Turn
Romeo is Bleeding
Bound
Sin City
Palmetto
Wow!! I've never even heard of any of these films, let alone seen any of them. They sound interesting, though.
shareI've never even heard of any of these films, let alone seen any of them
A little surprised you have not heard of Sin City. U Turn has many stars in it. Sean Penn, Jennifer Lopez, Billy Bob Thornton, Powers Boothe, Nick Nolte, Joaquin Phoenix and Claire Danes.
Lina Olin's performance in Romeo is Bleeding is worth seeing it for that alone. Gary Oldman also stars in it.
Bound stars Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon and Joe Pantoliano.
Palmetto stars Woody Harrelson, Elisabeth Shue Chloe Sevigny, Gina Gershon and Michael Rapaport.
All good.
Especially Romeo and Bound.
The only films on your list I've seen are Silver Streak, Chariots of Fire, and Local Hero. SS is mediocre at best IMHO, but the other two are classics.
