Best Movies - Ones that left an impression

Unforgiven is another one for me as well - Hackman was good as Lil' Bill. Sergio Leone's spaghetti western trilogy with Eastwood also keeps me coming back for more; not so much for the acting or storytelling, but for Leone's campy, artistic style and scene composition. "For a Few Dollars More" is possibly my most watched movie of all time - Lee Van Cleef is a badass as Colonel Mortimer and almost every still frame in that damn movie could be framed as an art quality print. Next time you get a chance to watch it, look beyond the goofy acting and out of synch voice-overs and look at the brilliant use of facial expressions and meticulous, painter-like composition of light, shadow and arrangement in almost every scene. Use the pause button a few times and you'll get stills you could frame and hang on your wall.

While we're talking about westerns, the two more recent Wyatt Earp movies were not bad; with Val Kilmer stealing the show as Doc Holliday in "Tombstone." Ah'm yoh huckleberry

Another Gene Hackman western performance I got a kick out of was John Herod in "The Quick and the Dead" with Sharon Stone. His role saved that movie for me.

Several of the above listed movies I really like and I have watched the Shawshank Redemption until I could almost recite the lines in it. I like Morgan Freeman. Also I liked Paint Your Wagon with Lee Marvin.

Joe Dirt for me :
Joe Dirt: So your gonna' tell me that you don't have no black cats, no roman candles, or screaming mimis?
Kicking Wing: No.
Joe Dirt: Oh come on man. You got no lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippity do das, or crap flappers?
Kicking Wing: No, I don't.
Joe Dirt: You're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?
Kicking Wing: No... because snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like.
Joe Dirt: Well that might be your problem, it's not what you like, it's the consumer MikeR
