P.S. I think someone should start a thread on our favorite movie scenes.
Did ever see this one?

Allow me to recommend the movies of Arthur Askey and Will Hay. They're public domain and free to download from various sources on the Internet. They're the best movies I've seen lately.

That was a excellent movie imo. I wonder if they will ever remake it?
So many much lesser films have been remade some better than others. I think the True Grit remake was well done.

Warrior
No. Never seen that one. Great scene, though. I've always liked Bryan Brown.
Here's one of my favorite scenes. (Sorry I had to split it in two. The single one would not work.)
Paddy Conlon has been trying to reconnect with his estranged son, Tommy, who is still too angry to forgive his father for his past alcoholism and abuse.
Edited by roxrkool, : Added title.

Re: Badges?
And, of course, it has been parodied.
In Weird Al's movie, UHF ("Drink from the fire hose! Drink from the fire hose!"), they featured a guy who was trying to each non-flying animals to fly by throwing them out of the second-floor window of his house. The delivery guy pulls up with cages of the next batch of animals for this experiment and reads off the list of animals he's delivering, including some badgers. "Badgers? Badgers??? We don't need not stinkin' badgers!" That scene is on YouTube, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKIAn2UlAX4 and a more complete treatment at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb8C7dxTGRM.

Interesting thing about that movie. When he's trying to log off at the end of the day on Friday to avoid being asked to come in to work on Saturday, the shutdown display was MS-DOS while the computer display was a Mac.

Sound of Noise
I do very few movies. As best I recall, I've been to a movie theater movie 4 times in the last 25 years.
A friend had this from Netflicks, and he loaned it to me. Swedish with English subtitles.
It's a dark comedy, and in some way fits my personal psychology and current musical leanings.
Google finds a couple of trailers (the first one seems to be the better):
quote:
Sound of Noise is a 2010 Swedish comedy crime film by Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjrne Nilsson. It tells the story of a group of musicians who make a terrorist attack on a city by performing music on objects in the city's various institutions. The film is a follow-up to the 2001 short film Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers, which was made by the same people and followed the same concept. The title comes from the Italian futurist Luigi Russolo's 1913 manifesto The Art of Noises

One of my favorite scenes is Anthony Quinn coming out of the city they just ransacked in Lawrence Of Arabia and going up to Omar Sharif and throwing the paper money down on the ground, giving a brief nod to Peter O'Toole offscreen and growling "He is NOT perfect!!!!"

Its a Conspiracy!
Here is a good conspiracy film.
Riders of the Storm with Dennis Hopper.
It is 1986 and a psyops crew from the Vietnam war has been flying non stop for 10 yrs above the US broadcasting their pirate tv signal and exposing the truth.
