Lol, they sucked? These are classics, I doubt you would know anything about it though.

Black Hawk Down? Oh you mean where they shoot bang bang, one dies...the rest survives, another shoot out, bang bang, one dies, they cries, rest survives..yet again a shootout, bang bang, few die, rest cries, then survives and suddenly thrives in battle?

Yeah. :roll:

I have many, off the top of my head I would go with Psycho.

The old Alfred Hitchcock one. You all may laugh etc etc, but no one could churn out the shit Hitchcock came up with back in the day.

The way he presented his movies was an art by itself. You don't have to see lots of blood and gore to enjoy, his usage of camera angles, lighting & music was more then sufficient.

I'm sorry, I must have come off as I dislike Black Hawk Down, it's a good movie...well, it was entertaining, let me put it that way.

Don't hate on the Rocky movies, classics remain classics.

Every guy has probably (note, I said guy) has seen Rocky, Terminator, Van Damme movies (Hard Target).

It's like almost every guy that has seen the movie Heat, loves it.

That's just the way it is. :twisted:


Pff, believe it or not, the best movies all time are Titanic and Mr. Bean...deal with it. :lol:

Wed Jul 07, 2004 1:02 am

Hehe I voted for 5

Wed Jul 07, 2004 2:40 am


Mr. Bean. :applaud:

Wed Jul 07, 2004 3:07 am

Psycho's no joke. I was back in the day a big horror movie junkie, i can say Psycho's the only movie that really ever scared me! After watching it i had scariest Nightmare of my life :shock:

Black Hawk Down is also a great movie based on a TRUE story about how dumb fucking americans can be really fucking dumb and get killed at the same time.

"We will not leave a fallen man behind"

"Right oh mate, ill be over there, away from those RPGS & AK47's sipping my Diet Pepsi...good luck bro"

It a Ridley Scott with a huge allstar cast, there not much negative you can say about this movie, the actual story might be questionable along with the motives behind it.

This kid hsn't seen classic movies..let him be,Jackal :wink:

Imo 1st one is the best but #3 has Mr.T...can't really decide...
What part was that stupid robot in?

Wed Jul 07, 2004 7:13 am

These films are classic (the first one anyway) I agree.
Was a while since I saw them though (especially the first one). Anyway The one with Dolph Lundgren in it is the best (just because he is swede :cool: ).

A friend of mine got the whole box. I'm gonna ask if I can borrow it.
Then I will come back with my opinion which one is the best (first one with high chances).

This post is just to show that everyone who has named my Spam harder are right :lol:

i`m for rockie IV,i hope that the one where he kicked that Russians ass :oops:

Wed Jul 07, 2004 9:22 am

Rumor has it that Rocky VI is going to be make. The bad news is that Stallone is old as crap.

Wed Jul 07, 2004 10:16 am

As old as he is, I don't think that has anything to do with his acting abilities.

I love Stallone. He's the guy's guy.

Age shouldn't matter, look at Pacino, DeNiro, Hofman, Brando (rip), Nicholson & Hopkins, no matter what they age, they come up with some good shit.

I loved Hopkins in the Hannibal Lectar series + Instinct.

Respect to Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

This one is probably my favorite movie of all time. His acting was amazing, I can watch this movie (One Flew...), Psycho, the Hannibal Lectar Series + The Jackal for you any time, any place and under any circumstances. :D

That rumour has been around for the last 5 years, along with Rambo IV. I really hope he keeps his self respect and turns down all scripts for what could only be descibed as "The Cash In"! We dont need Rocky 6 the movie industry doesnt need Rocky 6. Unless................OMG, this is it, let every1 know that i thought of it so i want some royalties if they make it, ][eRe |t I$ :arrow:

Rocky I is a great movie. A very nice feel-good movie.
Haven't seen the other ones more than once though, so I can't realy remember. I guess I should go and watch them again.


In my oppinion Black Hawk Down is a movie dreamed up by some patriots from Hollywood and Washington DC together claming it was put together by a series of real events (That's like saying Garfield is put together by a series of real events when he eats, breathes and so on... All just like a real cat :wink:) for the use of war propaganda. Witch Pentagon happend to sponsor.

The operation was supposed to take 30 minutes; in fact it took many hours of desperate street-fighting, cost the lives of 18 Americans and more than 1,000 Somalis, and ended in failure.

An antidote, then, to American triumphalism over Afghanistan? No, not at all, because the film is cunningly designed as a tribute to the bravery, loyalty and fighting qualities of the US army.

In a sense, the battle is presented as the 20th century equivalent of the Alamo - a defeat but a glorious one, designed to stir the patriotic fervour of every red-blooded American.

War, it says, is bloody and brutal, but aren't our boys wonderful?

The Pentagon commended director Ridley Scott for rushing the film's release after 9/11. The Motion Picture Association of America arranged a private screening for senior White House advisors. Vice President Dick Cheney attended. So did Contragate criminal Col. Oliver North, as well as a group of U.S. Army Rangers.

"Black Hawk Down" pretends to tell the story of what happened on Oct. 3, 1993, when tens of thousands of Somali people, most of them civilians, fought off an attack by U.S. Rangers and Delta Force commandos in the center of the capital city, Mogadishu.

The heavily armed U.S. troops had come in Humvees and Black Hawk helicopters to try and kidnap Mohamed Farrah Aidid and two of his lieutenants. They intended to take them to a ship anchored off the coast. Aidid was the Somali leader most resistant to U.S. efforts to establish military and economic domination in the area, under the pretext of providing food aid.

The arrogant and racist presence of 28,000 U.S. troops was hated by the Somali people. Sent there originally by George Bush Sr. in December 1992, they had opened machine gun fire on unarmed protesters and flown their helicopters so low over the city that the downdraft pulled the tin roofs off people's houses.

When one of the helicopters sent to capture Aidid crashed near a crowded market and reinforcements were sent in with guns blazing, the Somali people responded in a massive uprising against them.

- - -

The 16-hour battle ended in hundreds of Somali deaths-- helicopter gunships fired indiscriminately on the people in the streets and market. Mark Bowden, in his book on which this film claims to be based, wrote: "The Task Force Ranger commander, Maj. Gen. William F. Garrison, testifying before the Senate, said that if his men had put any more ammunition into the city 'we would have sunk it.' Most soldiers interviewed said that through most of the fight they fired on crowds and eventually at anyone and anything they saw."

U.S. forces with their sophisticated weapons have wreaked death and destruction on many oppressed peoples--most recently in Afghanistan. What made this battle different was that it ended in the deaths of 18 elite U.S. Army Rangers, the Pentagon's biggest battle loss since the Vietnam War. This led to a hasty U.S. withdrawal from the country.

The Somalis were jubilant at having defeated these flying death machines. "Black Hawk Down" was really a Somali people's victory over what had been considered the invincible Rangers and Delta Force.

But the film, in the words of New York Times critic Elvis Mitchell, "converts the Somalis into a pack of snarling dark- skinned beasts ... it reeks of glumly staged racism." (Dec. 28, 2001)

That's what the Pentagon wants U.S. audiences to get out of the film. Racism and fear of Third World peoples are being whipped up here as the Bush administration moves to spread its war of domination in Afghanistan to other Third World countries.
