with a few weeks before spring training the boards appears to be at a lull so allow me to change gears just for the hell of it. Now with all us old guys there ought to be some interesting choices here. 5 favorite actors & 5 favorite movies. ACTORS ------------ Sidney Poitier Steve McQueen John Wayne Clint Eastwood James Cagney FAVORITE MOVIES (way to many to choose from but......) ---------------------- In the heat of the night Bullet French Connection Jaws El Dorado
ACTORS ------------ Morgan Freeman Robert DeNiro Dustin Hoffman Jack Nicholson Daniel Day Lewis FAVORITE MOVIES (way to many to choose from but......) ---------------------- Cool Hand Luke Braveheart Dead Poets Society The Godfather The Shawshank Redemption
The fact that I forgot a great movie like Cool hand Luke is further proof that there's just to many to choose from.
Again, I'm not so old... BUT.... ACTORS: Mel Gibson (Yes, really) Kevin Costner (Yes, really) Harrison Ford Tom Hanks Jack Nicholson MOVIES: (I am counting Trilogies as 1 move, not 3, and yes, way too many to count) Star Wars (IV - VI) Lord of the Rings (Triology) Braveheart Field of Dreams Forrest Gump
I could never bring myself to watch any of the Godfathers, Goodfellas, Scarface, etc. Never saw the appeal...
ACTORS: Mel Gibson Kevin Costner Harrison Ford Brad Pitt Morgan Freeman MOVIES: Jaws Alien Tombstone Platoon Pulp Fiction Too many choices.....
One rainy day when your home with nothing to do you have to watch a movie called White heat with Cagney. Or better yet, Angels with dirty faces also with Cagney & as a bonus (if you were a fan) the dead end kids (bowery boys) are also in it. And lastly another Cagney film called the roaring 20s with Bogey is another classic Cagney gangsta film. But more currently, Goodfella's is a must see with Deniro & Pecsi. Its based on a true story. But speaking of blasphemy I'm probably the only person to EVER walk out of the original Star wars. I just couldn't get into any of them & I was a huge fan of the original Star Trek. Go figure.
With 2 young kids (about to turn 4 & 6) and a 3rd on the way, I don't think I'll have any free time in which I'll be able to watch any of these... YOU DIDN'T LIKE STAR WARS????????????????????
A while back there was a thread listing people who needed an "Attitude Adjustment" Pesci would be right near the top of my list, as the pretty lady said all mouth no driveshaft.
