Al, I remember the movie Black Sunday and read the book. Don't think I have seen Ronin, but may have to watch that one. Chris

Chris, I think you will like Ronin. It stars DeNiro, is filmed in France, has a great car chase within the story of mercenaries hired to steal a briefcase. It has a superb supporting cast with Jean Reno, Stellan Skarsgard, Jonathan Pryce, etc. Very well written and paced. -- Al

Al,
You forgot Sean Bean {sm4}

And the scene with the model soldiers.

You might have to watch it again {sm3}

Back on the thread I would have to confess to watching Love Actually quite a few times. Good cast and some great scenes
Humour with the English guy in the American bar with the admiring girls
Drama when Emma Thompson realises Alan Rickman been cheating on her.
The PM Hugh Grant going along the houses looking for the girl
The kids drumming to impress the girl
Guy (now in Waking the dead) holding up the cards outside Keira Knightly house
Rowan Atkinson as the annoying shop assistant
Bill Nighy's Xmas song
Liam Neeson meets Claudia Schiffer ( hope she knows there is a danger of being Taken {sm3})

Brett

And just to show I am not a complete softie The Departed is a favourite repeat. Great cast and scenes.

I'm a big movie addict. Have many films I will sit through over and over. Any Ford/Wayne collaboration ( in fact, any Wayne western from Stagecoach on), films by David Lean, Sam Peckinpah, Stanley Kubrick, John Frankenheimer, and Lewis Milestone. Haven't seen all the work by these men, but what I have seen gets rewatched whenever I run across them. -- Al

Great thread guys and I'm with Al as I never tire of watching any of the Ford/Wayne collaborations and in particular The Searchers arguably Wayne's finest onscreen performance. But my second favourite Ford movie that I can watch numerous times and never tire of doesn't have Duke in the cast is My Darling Clementine (1946). Superb casual acting from Hank Fonda as Wyatt Earp-he always made it look so effortless. Fonda was Ford's favourite actor-hands down- until they had a big fall-out while making Mr Roberts (1955) where Ford actually punched Fonda in the face-Although Ford apologised profusely for years after the incident Fonda refused to work with him again.

My Darling Clementine also has an ironic back story- after Fonda was cast as Earp, Ford searched for an actor for the second lead character- Doc Holliday. 20th Century Fox- head of production- Darryl F Zanuck suggested Jimmy Stewart for the part-Which would have been a stroke of genius. Ford's reaction was "Nah! Stewart could never play a western character". So who did he cast? Victor Mature ^&confuse^&confuse. He was OK in the role but his acting was hardly on par with Stewart's. Old man Ford made the biggest casting mistake in his film career by not casting Stewart and he knew it especially after the dozens of westerns Stewart made following his box office hit Winchester 73 released a few years later.

The irony of this yarn was that Ford did finally cast Stewart in three of his westerns and in Cheyenne Autumn actually had him play Wyatt Earp in the film's comedy intermission sequence- which really had no connection with the movie's main story at all.

Mad Max

Gone with the Wind
The Big Lebowski

Thats the one... My daughters know when I'm watching it, by the sound of my Hubley .45 cap gun shooting at the tv. It's funny, Arness graduated to a starring role in "Them" from playing the THING in "The Thing". But the biggest surprise was when Walt Disney made Fess Parker his Davy Crockett, from Parkers' 2 minute scene in "Them"......
 
My favorite "action movies" that I could watch over and over...to name a few!
Gunga Din,
Ben Hur
El Cid
On The Waterfront
The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn)
Raging Bull
Gone With The Wind
Saving Private Ryan
Godfather 1 and 2
Last of the Mohicans (Daniel Day Lewis)
Full Metal Jacket
A History of Violence
Ivanhoe
