What movie would you lose sleep over?

**DAYWALKER** · 09-07-2005, 02:27 AM

Aloha ALL,

Man alive...been at Hell more than I'd like as of late. For some reason, the guys/gals on the Watch after me have not been coming to work...hence, I and those below me in seniority, even above sometimes, have to work their shift...*UGH*.

ANYWAY...the other night I only worked *my* shift and was able to come home. I took full advantage of that by watching the Turner Movie Classic channel!

Watched this 1930 something flick called, "Wuthering Heights". One of the best movies I have ever seen, it has to be a classic! Stayed up until 0400hrs. in the morning...cripes, but it was worth it! If there's ever a Marx Brothers Marathon on, I am in trouble for sure!

I would end up like Vampyrewolf and not sleep for days!

Normally, I usually don't watch too much TV when I am home...but I was just *curious*...

What kind of movie/movies or anything on TV would you lose sleep over? (YES Alex...cartoons are included here!

)

God bless

I'm not a great lover of the TV. But not having cable or satellite, as well as being in a bad reception area, I only have FOUR channels to choose from!!

But, I have certainly lost sleep to a couple of movies after getting home late. Generally, they are the worst TV made movies ever, with the ham acting and predicable storyline and the title of you can never remember! Come to think of it, I've probably lost years of shut eye to this kind of rubbish they only put on late at night!!

Yep, me also, avoid prison movies like the plague!

God bless,

Simon

-Shawshank Redemption

-Cool Hand Luke

Both great movies and I have stayed up way too late many times just to watch part of them.

Great thread.

**Jimmy_Dean** · 09-07-2005, 07:20 AM

I'll stay up for Scarface

**224477** · 09-07-2005, 07:59 AM

Shawshank Redemption was a fine movie. I myself dont have any TV at home. Decided to spare more time. Usually watchin movies in cinema or at computer. when its something special on TV I give my parents a visit

**davec** · 09-07-2005, 09:33 AM

One of my all time fave's is To Sir With Love, it can be a little hokey but man it gets me every time. And the incredible title song is one of my all time fave songs as well. Not to mention the legendary Mr. Tibbs. and the gorgeous Judy Geeson and Suzy Kendall.

I also love Soylent Green and just about anything with Charlton Heston.

**pjrocco** · 09-07-2005, 10:02 AM

Theoretically might enjoy watching few movies.
Practically don't have TV for years now, so not an issue for me.

**J Smith** · 09-07-2005, 11:30 AM

There are a few that I will watch anytime I catch them on.
Tremors,seen this one a good 200 times(100 times in the theater)
King of the Hill,love Dale.Anyone catch the one where he had all the knives on him,someone doing that show knows alot about knives.
Spirit of St Louis
Just about any John Wayne flick
Its a wonderful life
Any of the Vacation movies
Independence Day mainly because of Randy Quaid
Stargate SG1
Battlestar Galactica,trying to follow this one but it is hard.
I love any movie where the actors are just down to earth people.
Tremors really hits this home,seems like just a bunch of regular people doing what people with common sence would do.Some might say that Bert is over the top but I do know people just like him.

**jaislandboy** · 09-07-2005, 12:52 PM

Loved Tremors as well...esp Michael Gross's character...this movie cracks me up!
Also like: Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, Kingpin are some of my all time favorites.

**ghostrider** · 09-07-2005, 12:56 PM

Any of the Star Wars should be a given, IMHO.

Bruce Campbell vs. The Army of Darkness. I used to throw parties where all we did was watch Bruce Campbell movies, and play video games until the wee hours.

**JD Spydo** · 09-07-2005, 01:12 PM

I have always been intrigued with "Prison Movies" just like Doc Snubnose was talking about. But the Horror movies were always the ones that really rocked my boat. I think that "Pet Sematary" ( Stephen King) was one that really stuck with me for a while

. AS goofy as it may sound the plot seemed somewhat believable

. I know, I know I need to set an appointment to see Doctor Lecter>>>> Talk about Spook Movies

**greencobra** · 09-07-2005, 01:31 PM

3 that I won't miss on TV, and I own them on DVD also...

-Reservoir Dogs
-Fargo
-Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory (original Gene Wilder version)

**Slvgx** · 09-07-2005, 02:16 PM

Normally movies played on TV are not my thing, sometimes IFC has good stuff. As of late I've been staying up very late into the night, well past sunrise actually to watch soccer matches on FSC or GolTV. They play the matches live from Europe so they are on very early here, well worth it.

Aloha GC!

Ahhhh, a great flick also! I dunno if I wanna see the revised (destroyed?) version. One of my favorite parts is when they are riding into the tunnel and Wilder goes off," There's no earthly way of knowing...which direction we are going...is it raining, it it pouring, is a hurricane a blowing?"

God bless

Hey Rock!

Oh how did I forget THIS one...and two, and three, and...

Hmmmm, it is apparent my Jedi powers are weakening my friend, I must inform the council at once!

Better add Twilight Zone, OLD StarTrek while I am here...

God bless
