OT Tortured Gets Cultured (Classic Movies)!

I need to watch movies. I haven't watched Animal house which apparently breaks S2 Rules!
Anyways so once a week I will watch a movie based of off s2 recommendations and review it in this thread.

Only Rule I have for suggestions is no Horror movies as those tend to freak out my kids.

Suggestions that were mentioned in the thread in the PTB forum are:
Animal House (I'm gonna find it this weekend). 1st Review 7.6/10
Paint Your Wagon
Kelly's Heroes
All of Me
The Jerk
Planes Trains and Automobiles
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Razors Edge
I'm going to opt out of Debbie Does Dallas! heh.
Hook - This is one I've actually seen but it's been a while.
Citizen Kane - This was one of my favorite movies as a teen but I haven't seen in so Long I'll watch it again.

Yup I did forget that one.

 

Godfather Part 1&2

 

Good Fellas
The Usual Suspects

 

3:10 to Yuma ..both original and newer versions...newest was great...Russell Crowe and Christian Bale ….one of the few good westerns remade in the modern era.

 

Duck Soup- My favorite Marx brothers movie. 1933 B&W. (B&W means it wasn't in color. Lol) This actually is a top 5 or 10 movie for me. Outstanding, and the kids will love it. Well, at least they will love Harpo....

Young Frankenstein "Wow! What knockers!" Lol

Caddyshack

Blazing Saddles


ANYTHING of The Three Stooges....

 

Monty Python and The Holy Grail

 

SCORE! DANG, how could I forget that one! Adding it to my list to watch again....

 

Full Metal Jacket
Stripes

 

Solaris with George Clooney.

 

Oh wait. I thought this was movies I'd rather be tortured over watching again.

 

And there you go! How about his Aunt Rosemary Clooney.....

White Christmas 1954

 

I think since this thread came about because of an Animal House quote, you should definitely start there. It doesn't age super well but it's still worth a watch.

And cheat this week by watching Wizard of Oz too with the kiddos.

 

Bring me...a SHRUBERRY!

 

“It's just a flesh wound.” Lol

 

All the ild twilite zones

 

Watch a gidget movie

I'm going to recommend you approach this movie exploration by actor or director as well as titles
I'll watch any movie with Russell Crowe in it...Cinderella Man and Beautiful Mind, Master and Commander, Gladiator..Body of Lies...American Gangster..LA Confidential....turn up the sound 'cause he mumbles a lot but the dude can really act
