It's 25 years old now since it was released in '79. I always liked Behind The Green Door ('72) from that era too.jordon said:Debbie Does Dallas![]()

Amen to thatMaggs44 said:Fargo (was just amazed at Wm Macy's performance, he got robbed at the Oscars)
I haven’t seen it either.other1 said:I've actually never seen it, but after seeing it called the greatest movie ever here I just might have to. You know, for research purposes. :sneaky:
(DDD, not Fargo)
I love the first half of FMJ. Has there ever, ever been a better first half of a movie ever filmed? I think not.AVB said:2001 A Space Odyssey, the greatest leap in FX ever in movies, even bigger then King Kong in it's day. Shots of space still don't look as good.
Das Boot, easily the best use of surround sound, the standard everybody should try to attain to.
Apocalypse Now, one of the few that makes you watch it. Gripping at all levels.
Full Metal Jacket, My bootcamp in 45 minutes ...This is my rifle, there are many others like it but this one is mine. Good night Chesty wherever you are.
The Bridge on the River Kwai, A classic tale of men overcomming all obsticles to do the right thing.
Those are just 5. I can do 15 more that are equally deserving to be a top movie depending on what mood I'm in.

I remember first seeing R. Lee many, many years ago (1978/79??) in "The Boys in Company C" as a DI there too. From the "for what it's worth" category, he was also cast as a helicopter pilot in one of the other all-time great movies, Apocolypse Now (Eagle Thrust Seven pilot). I still think "Boys in Company C" was his first flick though. A damn fine performance there too.AVB said:For those that don't know the story, R. Lee was brought on to teach the actor that was going to play the D.I. how to do it. He made such an impression that they gave the part to him. What is unusual is that R. Lee was only a medically retired Staff Sergeant (E-6), fairly low rank to be a consultant on movie set. (he was later given an honorary promotion to Gunnery Sergeant by the Corps)
Still wondering....how does he fold up the stolen painting in his briefcase? ???gawntrail said:The Thomas Crown Affair (Original and the Pierce Brosnon remake)
I guess the wood frame would have been hinged..................dixieland_conjunction said:Still wondering....how does he fold up the stolen painting in his briefcase? ???gawntrail said:The Thomas Crown Affair (Original and the Pierce Brosnon remake)

I've actually never seen it. It was the only movie name I could think of (of that genre).Matt R said:I'm suprised it took someone that long to mention that classic. Now, how about a favorite scene. Personally I liked the car wash scene, but the candlestick scene was OK too.jordon said:Debbie Does Dallas![]()
Everytime I see that film, I think the same thing... Never heard of a hinged frame.dixieland_conjunction said:Still wondering....how does he fold up the stolen painting in his briefcase? ???gawntrail said:The Thomas Crown Affair (Original and the Pierce Brosnon remake)

Fav scene? Well, not from Debbie, but I loved the trapese scene from Behind the Green door.Matt R said:I'm suprised it took someone that long to mention that classic. Now, how about a favorite scene.

And, HOW the heck did he steal the 2nd painting (the one that Rene Ruso liked and that she returned at the end).
We assume it was in the gallery when the museum closed the gates at 3 pm when Crowne walked in to "return" the first painting. He threw in the smoke bombs, the wall doors close, and voila, the doors open and the 2nd painting is gone.
Any clues?
