I did create an Arnold thread for this already.

QUOTE (Mustard Death @ Dec 30 2007, 10:43 AM) So I received the special edition DVD of this movie for Christmas... I'd never seen it. I watched it last night, and man... it's probably the best movie I've ever seen. Now... there's gotta someone else willing to show love for this film. Yeah I have it on videotape. Seen it about 125 times. Ben Richards: "I'll be back!" Damon Killian: "Only in a rerun."

Ok let's try another one: T_ _ H_ _ _ T_ _ _ R _ _ _ _ T_ _ C_ _ _ _ _

The answer is: Disclosure

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone want to take a stab at it or do you want the answer?

Ok. No but you're close there. D_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E This movie was a staple to what was happening in society today.

Everytime I will give a title of a movie with subtle hints. See if you can guess it. D_________ It was one of my favorite movies. Do you know what it is?

Hey I'm only human. I make mistakes sometimes too. But not very often though, but I do at times.

Right. Thanks for reminding me.

I get a kick out of some of the characters names in the movies: 1. Blofeld 2. Bambi 3. Thumper 4. Peter Franks 5. Solitaire 6. Scaramanga 7. Miss Goodhead 8. Fatima Blush 9. Jack Petachi 10. Domino 11. Octopussy 12. May Day 13. Elektra 14. Jinx Jordan

QUOTE (steelcaressed @ Dec 26 2007, 11:41 PM) OK...My wife was kind enough to get me a turntable for Christmas. The coolest thing about that is now I have about 200+ new albums to listen to that I have not heard in over 15 years. (That was when the kids killed my last functional needle on my old turntable.) So, together w/ my 17 y/o son, we broke out some of my old stash. Here's the list after two days: Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny. (That one is a picture disc. And NO, I don't mean a DVD!) Pentagram - Pentagram. (A local DC band previously known as Death Penalty from the late 80's. Very heavy.) Y&T - In Rock We Trust (OK Earl, let's hear it!) Witchfinder General - Death Penalty. (A different kind of heavy, in the up-tempo British tradition w/ a very old-school, Ozzy-like singer.) Iron Maiden - Live After Death. (This one is from the Powerslave Tour, and features Dickenson singing an unbelievable version of "Phantom of the Opera!) Motorhead - I Got Mine. (This one is shortly after fast Eddie left. It's still Motorhead though. This particular EP features 3 songs, playable at 45 rpm's.) That's it for the last two days. Now, this thread is intended for thoughts about old music that you used to love, and a rekindled relationship w/ that music. Please feel free to join me as I document my journey through my old vinyl collection. Additionally, please weigh in w/ your own thoughts, and add any of your observations and/or experiences w/ music you haven't listened to in a very long time. Here's my first notation: My older collection is rather eclectic, but features a lot of heavier stuff. My CD collection is missing a great deal from this genre that I used to love. Witchfinder General in particular is a very old favorite of mine, obscure though they be. It's wonderful to get to listen to those crunchy riffs and high-pitched vocals again after all those years. Most of the other selections were hand picked by my 17 y/o son. I picked Y&T for him, since he leans towards flashy, candy metal. He really liked "In Rock We Trust." Personally, I find it sounds remarkably similar to Def Leppard w/ slightly edgier guitar work, and more masculine vocals. Tomorrow, I'll let you know what he and I think of "Screaming for Vengeance" and "Creeping Death." (The latter is another picture disc by Metallica, and has the title cut and Blitzkrieg on it. Should be fun!) I'm a very lucky man to be able to share this experience w/ my son. Join me tomorrow, same bat-channel..... Wow the last time I owned a record was 1986. It's been a while since then. I had about 300 records of all sorts of artists. I can't remember them all now. Alzheimer's sinking in I guess.

Does anyone remember this movie? I thought Catherine Zeta-Jones (now Michael Douglas's wife) was such a hot babe in it.

This caused riffs between him and MGM/UA and they decided to write him "Diamonds Are Forever" instead. That was his last movie as James Bond. Then he came back for 1 more in "Never Say Never Again" which was produced by Warner Bros. and was a copy of Thunderball. MGM/UA was against the movie and had to stall release of Octopussy which came out the exact time. MGM/UA is trying to get the rights for it but don't know if Warner Bros. will give it up. Okay. I basically thought the opposite. Connery was bored with all the gadgets and far-out plots. Ironically, On Her Majesty's Secret Service would have remedied that. He did Diamonds Are Forever because of the almighty dollar. Yeah he also wanted more money that's another reason too as well.

I just thought most of the bond girls were slutty except Diana Riggs. She added a twist which made the movie even more interesting. Too bad she dies at the end. It would have been nice to see James staying married to Tracy.

QUOTE (ReRushed @ Dec 26 2007, 01:20 PM) I love On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but I do have a hard time accepting Lazenby as Bond. He didn't have the acting chops to portray the role. But, having said that, it's a fantastic film. Also, after only one film, Craig is my favorite Bond after Connery. No, I have to agree that he wasn't a top notch actor. But he didn't do too half bad for the role even though. As for Daniel Craig, I would have picked a better actor for Casino Royale.

Well I liked all the movies except Casino Royale. I can't stand Daniel Craig period. My favorite bond guy would be Sean Connery overall, but I also liked Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan as well. My favorite bond girl was Diana Rigg. She had the most class out of all the bond girls.

I'm a billionaire.

Does anyone remember this movie? It brought back so many memories for me and Tracey. I started crying all over again when I watched it last night on tv. Which is rare for me. It wasn't as well received at the box office as the pictures that preceded it or followed it, but Peter Hunt's On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the finest of the James Bond movies and also arguably the last truly great movie in the series. James Bond, portrayed here by George Lazenby (in his only performance in the role) has spent nearly two years trying to track down Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas), the head of SPECTRE. He has been taken off the case by his chief (Bernard Lee), an action the pushes him to the point of considering resigning from Her Majesty's Secret Service, just as he opens a possible new avenue of attack on his quarry. Whilst in the field, Bond has chanced to cross paths with the Contessa Teresa Di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg), a beautiful but desperately unhappy woman, whom he rescues from one apparent suicide attempt and an embarrassing moment at a casino gaming table -- the Contessa, who prefers to be called Tracy ("Teresa was a saint"), is the daughter of Marc Ange Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti), an industrial and construction magnate and also a crime boss, who is impressed with Bond personally as well as professionally, and would like to see him marry his daughter. Bond is, at first, unwilling to involve himself with a woman -- any woman -- on that level, but Draco's underworld contacts give Bond a vital clue to Blofeld's whereabouts that get him back on the case and hot on the man's trail. Journeying incognito to Blofeld's mountaintop retreat in the Swiss Alps, Bond finds the criminal mastermind posing as a would-be nobleman and also as a philanthropist, running a clinic devoted to the treatment and eradication of allergies. It's all a front for a surprisingly sinister (and scientifically valid) plot for international blackmail that would make any previous Bond villain quake in fear. And in the process of staying alive long enough to have a chance of stopping Blofeld, Bond discovers the Tracy is truly like no woman he's ever known before -- one special enough that he finds himself willing to give up his life as a free-living, free-loving bachelor. - All Movie Guide

You're funny GE. You always know how to crack me up. I am already a moderator on another forum, so one I think is enough for me to handle thank you. You don't see me asking now, do you?

My member title suits me well because remember a while back I posted something about how each person has a special personality about themselves and they said I was unsure and I believe it too, because I am unsure. Of everything in life.

Well I thought most of his movies were flops except the ones that I listed above in the poll. Those I thought were the best ones of all basically.

Did anyone like these movies? Every time I get in a bad mood, I have to watch one of them. My favorite would have to be 3. I loved the way he had to fight that whole gang. Good ol' "Wilde".

QUOTE (thesweetscience @ Dec 19 2007, 07:33 PM) QUOTE (Ru5h F@n @ Dec 19 2007, 11:29 PM) Um, Sylvester Stallone for example. Well unfortunatly most of the new movies are basically terrible to begin with. Not all but more than not. Sometimes a talented and veteran actor can help the bleak situation, but I think its a shame that some classic actors who have made incredible movies in the past will leave scars on there legacy by being a part of some of the tripe that comes out of Hollywood. Yeah a lot of movies now are really bad. I wonder how Rocky VI did. Probably a disaster I bet.

Um, Sylvester Stallone for example.
