I recently had a procedure done and ended up needing to spend the day in bed. While resting I watched (with napping) three movies. 1) Lifeforce 2) Flesh and Blood 3) Dogs of War Really enjoyed them all. What three would you have chosen? |
William Warner | 19 Feb 2025 10:42 a.m. PST |
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (my all-time favorite) A Bridge Too Far (great action movie) Sgt. York (haven't seen it in years but I love Gary Cooper) |
Wackmole9 | 19 Feb 2025 11:20 a.m. PST |
1 The Searchers 2 Guns Of Navarone 3 Raiders of the lost Ark |
Frederick  | 19 Feb 2025 11:46 a.m. PST |
True Grit (either version but probably the Jeff Bridges one) Die Hard Star Gate |

Tough to narrow it down to three, but here goes: 1. The 13th Warrior 2. Serenity 3. The Mummy 1999 |

I also recently re-watched The Dogs of War, it was way better than I remembered from the 70's. Not as good as the book, but rarely do I find that happens. Still, a very good watch. |

If I were sick tomorrow and had to chose three movies, right now I would go for: LOTR: Fellowship The Magnificent Seven Battle of Britain |
Herkybird  | 19 Feb 2025 12:45 p.m. PST |
Starship Troopers (1) Robocop The Last Starfighter |

Picking three is tough. I'd probably go with - Casablanca Raiders of the Lost Ark Elevator to the Gallows, French Noir with a soundtrack by Miles Davis. |

Last time I was confined to bed for a medical reason I had so much morphine being pumped into me I would have napped off after 5 mins regardless of how many movies I could have blitzed through but would probably choose any of the first seven Bond movies. |

All great choices! I could only add Kelly's Heros! |
David Manley  | 19 Feb 2025 2:23 p.m. PST |
I'd say that was a pretty good choice :) |

Depends a lot on the day. For dialogue Lion in Winter (O'toole/Hpeburn) The Wind and the Lion Casablanca For mindless entertainment, Raiders of the Lost Ark and the first two Brendan Frasier "Mummy" movies. Nothing like danger, romance and lost cities in the desert. Lots of good choices on the thread. |

Raiders of the Lost Ark Kelly's Heros Empire strikes back And a thanks to all that jogged my memory. |

Hmmm, it is a hard choice, I think I would go with three old war movies from my childhood: Pork Chop Hill Sgt. York Run Silent, Run Deep |
smithsco | 19 Feb 2025 8:40 p.m. PST |
The Searchers Last of the Mohicans Wind River |
79thPA  | 20 Feb 2025 6:40 a.m. PST |
Tough call. It would depend partially on what kind of mood I was in. Possibilities include: Kelly's Heroes 101 Dalmatians Master and Commander Something with John Wayne -- maybe The Shootist The Enemy Below Zulu |
Choctaw | 20 Feb 2025 7:37 a.m. PST |
13 Hours (that's right Hillary, we haven't forgotten) Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck's version, my oh my) April Morning |

Choctaw, "Nobody sits a horse like Monte Walsh." I like Selleck's and Marvin's versions, for different reasons. Marvin's Walsh: "I ain't spitting on my whole life" |
