Check out my rating now 🙁 Complete plummet. I'll be back though, don't you get comfortable, old man!
Originally posted by seraphimvultureThat's not true ... None of my "top ten" were either Western nor Mafia ... Frankly, I find that both those genres have reached maximum overkill.
...all the guys are listing mafia movies and westerns...[/b]
But I digress ...
On the lighter side, I just finished watching an excellent movie that I would like to suggest on this forum. It's called L'Auberge Espagnole ... It is neither Western nor Mafia, but it still is a very good film. It's rare that you see a film that incorporates so many different cultures in to one.
Check it out ...🙂
Originally posted by no1marauderI haven't made the move yet but I don't know. e6, Nf6, or Nc6. I got lots of time to figure out my plan but I was wondering if there was some lines already laid out that I could look at and see if I liked. Know of any?

Originally posted by seraphimvultureI shouldn't do this, but as I feel pity for those less endowed than I am (in chess skills and otherwise), I give you one of my secret weapons: http://www.chesslab.com/PositionSearch.html. Use it wisely, young Skywalker!

Originally posted by no1marauderWhy don't you also share your Fritz with me? 😉 Hehe. Thanks a bunch. And I just watched Fight Club on F/X earlier today actually. Still sucks. Your opinion is still soured by your lack of smarts and taste!

Originally posted by seraphimvultureYour taste in movies still blows, but at least now there's some hope you won't drop down to 1400 anytime soon. You, of course, know only to use the Position Search feature on that site and not the Analyze feature (that's a no-no). I still make too many outright idiotic moves to be a cheat, but thanks for the flattery.

Without looking back at any of the lists I don't think anyone here has mentioned the instant cult classic Scarface! "Shay hallo to my little frand!!!" Hehe... I've seen the ending maybe a dozen times now and it always gets my blood going! (even though De Palma and Stone obviously made a huge writer-director blunder by leaving out the chance of any nudity to go along with the rapid gunfire! 🙁)

Originally posted by seraphimvultureI was actually considering putting Scarface in my list, but...geez! Which of those movies should I leave out, then?

Originally posted by Great Big SteesGreat film and did you get a chance to read the book Steve?
How about"The world according to Garp"?
Another film that was pretty cool was the first Rocky. I saw it as a kid in high school and remember the theatre audience standing cheering as if it were an actual boxing match! Of course, Stallone drug that story out WAY too long. Went to the well too many times.

He is a buzzkill, ain't he? Probably goes to parties so he can stand there with a disapproving scowl on his pious face.
just what is it i'm supposed to be chuckling about? the problem is not that i don't have a sense of humour; the problem is that you aren't funny. perhaps you are a bitter and twisted failed stand-up comic? 'That crowd was moronic. grumble grumble. they didn't even laugh when i called them idiots. curse curse. they just didn't have a sense of humour. morons! nurse! where are you? i need wiping. idiot!'
