Yeah I think Deadman and Edward Scissorhands would both qualify as cult classics.

Oh I had the wrong movie In mind blademaker sorry about that

Anyone else have a favorite SILENT movie? Mine would have to be "Nosferatu" from 1922. I watch it every year at Halloween time. One of the creepiest looking movie vampires ever. The shadow scene of him walking up the stairs is something else.

Big Trouble in Little China
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean
March or Die
All of the Nobody westerns with Terrence Hill

I've watch bout 95 percent of the ones aready listed more than once and some many times, one I didn't see listed but may have been, is the Jason Borne series. Lonesome Dove is probably my favorite western book, and the best mini- series of all time.

A Man Called Horse

SO many movies, holy cow. However, there are certain movies that when I come upon them on TV, will usually stop and watch them...

Shawshank Redemption
Dances with Wolves
Legends of the Fall
Saving Private Ryan
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Open Range
(Any of the Star Wars movies)
Indiana Jones...

Did anyone mention Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas"? How about the tv series "Monk"? Or the Brit series "Rumpole of the Bailey"?

.........."THE SEARCHERS"!!!!.............. ..................

Arrrrgh - I'm huge fan of movies of all types - old, new and many different genres. I can't even begin to list them...

To give you a taste for the wide range of movies I love to watch, I have been known to binge watch Godzilla movies, John Wayne movies, Japanese Samurai & Chinese Kung Fu movies with English subtitles, Steve McQueen movies, cheesy Sci-Fi movies from the 60s & 70s, Kirk Douglas movies, Humphrey Bogart movies, etc, etc,

I would say that the only movies I really do not enjoy are chick-flicks. Guess what my wife's favorite movies are? Yeah, you guessed it...

The one movie my wife cannot get enough of is Steel Magnolias. We’ve seen it A LOT! I have to say though it is a pretty good movie.

Shawshank Redemption
October Sky
Sandlot
John Carter of Mars

You should read the book(s) if you haven't already. Some pretty amazing stuff written by Edgar Rice Burroughs (of Tarzan fame) and first published in 1912. The book series features flying air craft, light rays similar to laser beams, space travel and several other phenomena unheard of or seemingly far-fetched at that time, which have since come to pass.

I thought the movie, which is a condensation of several books, was good but the books were far better.

Didn't Burroughs write The Pulucidor (?sp) series of books? SciFi series about a man that invented a subterrainian boring craft and he discovers Pulucidor.

Charlie Noyes

Burroughs was the king of pulp SF serials - in addition to the Barsoom series, he created both Tarzan and the Pellucidar stories. He also created lesser known series set on Venus, the Moon, the Caspak series (The Land That Time Forgot) and several others. I call his books "flashing sword stories" because whenever it looks like the hero is in trouble, you can bet the hero's "flashing sword" will quickly save the day and the girl he loves. I love his books!

And virtually none of the Tarzan movies, regardless of when they were made, followed Burroughs' books very well.

Still, I like The Wiesmueller Tarzan movies and have seen them all multiples of times.

Charlie

All time favorites Outlaw Josey Whales, Jeremiah Johnson, Sand Pebbles, and THE BIG RED 1. All caps because I'm surprised it didn't appear on the list yet.

I think I have read all of Edgar Rice Burroughs sci fi books at least once and most of them several times. At one time I owned almost all of the books he wrote except for the Tarzan series, I read a few Tarzan books but it didn't capture my imagination like his sci fi books did.

I agree the books were far better than the movie. When John Carter came out I was excited but my wife had never heard of the John Carter series. She is a huge comic book heros fan and now a die hard John Carter fan!

I just got a refresher kick out of a few youtube links for the spaghetti westerns of the 1960s; I have seen them all several times and will watch at least some of them again. Give it a try.
