Movie challenge

Fri Nov 14, 2008, 8:12 PM

Ok this has been bugging me for a week now! I've been craving a good few movies to watch lately so I thought hey lets have a contest...

I'm going to let you folks suggest movies, I'm looking for a good action and a good comedy. So here are the details: people suggest the best movies and who ever suggests the best one gets a free pencil pic for the best action and best comedy suggested.

Honestly I could really use a few good movies to watch, I've been restless since getting out of the hospital but I'm still a bit weak to go out to the theaters or anything. Thanks folks and lets see if we can come up with some good movies!

Oh and no suggesting the following:
Die Hard
Kungfu Panda
Max Payne
Ironman
Hulk

Flyboys
The 5th Element
Hudson Hawk

I could go on for hours...

I saw Get Smart, didn't actually like it all that much. It was so much different then the series and I just couldn't get into it.

I've seen all the Die Hard movies, "Live Free or Die hard" was my third fav (Die hard 1, With a Vengence and then Live free)

I'm sure you could post a few pages worth of suggestions here hehe.

Never saw "Wind" or "Oscar" didn't like Mystery Men or Johnny. Never saw the 10th kingdom or Time bandits. O brother put me to sleep, never saw flyboys. 5th element is awesome and never heard of Hudson Hawk

Wind is about the America's Cup, kind of a 90s feel-good movie but it's a beautiful film if you like sailing.

Oscar is a comedy (starring Sylvester Stallone) about a mob boss trying to go straight, somewhat sophisticated, lots of fun.

The 10th kingdom is about the world of fantasy and fairy tales. Very long, don't try to watch it all in one sitting.

Time Bandits is about incompetent time traveling thieves(sort of, it was written by Terry Gilliam so, yeah)

Hudson Hawk is a comedy/adventure with Bruce Willis. an old school cat burglar who uses old showtunes for timing rather than a watch is conned into one last heist. Lots of fun.
