Pick one movie that it is a shame/crime for not having

Then mission accomplished as McQuarrie said he purposely wrote the movie to have no endearing characters. Besides, seeing Sarah Silverman get punched in the face was worth the price of admission.

If they actually punched Silverman in the face, I'd agree.

I read somewhere that there IS a directors cut of Tombstone, however I’ve not been able to find it. Maybe I should search again...

Never seen it myself, but there’s a few copies on eBay. From IMDB ‘A "Vista Series" director's cut was released in February 2002. Just under five minutes of never-before-seen footage were restored.’

Cosmatos was a genius. Nice man too, in the little time I worked with him. He took over a very troubled movie that was well into its filming schedule, and was given a limited budget to bring his vision to life. He succeeded beyond anyone’s dreams. The sad part was that later he was blinded as a result of a failed surgery, and then died while the hyenas fought over control of his estate.

Im surprised that Lawerence of Arabia isn’t on the list. I’d put that movie up against any other. Lawrence was a complicated man if there ever was one.

And if you haven’t seen The Light Horsemen, do yourself a favor and grab one of the newer DVDs. It’s from a television cut of the movie, with a couple of awkward breaks, and cuts to black for commercials, but the Aussies make a hell of a WWI movie. And it has an amazing battle scene at the end.

Lots of awesome movies named here.

Some are already famous and we’ll know.

Other deserve the mention in case someone over looked them.

It pains me how some crappy movies have extended versions, special edition blu rays, etc. while others so much better barely are available.

We all forgot about COBRA.

Slapshot
Paul Newman. 1977 hockey film. Because laughter is the best medicine

Saw “Slapshot” for the first time a few weeks ago. Loved it, hilarious movie!

I'm going to throw the Emperor's Club in the mix. It wasn't an action movie but I thought it was a really good moral story.

I'll also add the Goonie's just for fun. And Secondhand Lions.

One of the best sports movies, ever....

And Secondhand Lions.

Actually a really great movie, even if it did make me feel old. One of my students gave it to me because he said it reminded him of me. [sigh]

I think "Emperor's Club" was underappreciated - sometimes good things happen to bad people. Also agree with "Secondhand Lions".
