Favorite Movie Lists (aka Cabin Fever Shenanigans)

[the Ferret]

Geez I like and watch lots of movies. NO way I could get it down to five

For motorcycles I like Wild Hogs for comedy and One Week for thought provoking, although I will watch anything with a motorcycle in it

I have always liked Robin Hood, the 38 version with Errol Flynn with archery shooting by the great Howard Hill, but will watch the 90s version with Kevin Costner or 2000 version with Russle Crow as well

I like westerns and the like so Open Range is among my favorites, as well as Dances with Wolves and the new version of the Magnifient 7

I also like action/adventure movies so I will mention some that became trilogys or better... Jason Bourne (with motorcycles), Mission Impossible (with motorcycles), Taken, the Transporter and the Expendables (with motorcycles)

Honorable mentions for me, 13 th Warrior, Last of the Mohicans, Jack Reacher and if you like blood baths John Wick 1&2 lol.

Added I also like Jeremiah Johnson (some great lines in that one) (not enough dirt saw it right off) (elk don't know how many legs a horse has) ( can you skin griz Pilgrim? Skin that one and I'll bring you another)

Wild Hogs is hilarious, I must have seen at least 6 times by now. William H. Macy cracks me up.

Now that you mention westerns I can't believe I forgot "The Outlaw Josey Wales", the best western ever made.

"Dying' ain't much of a living' boy".

Motorcycles: Easy Rider (1969)
The scene where Wyatt tosses his wrist-watch into the Mojave desert sand haunted me for decades: will I ever be able to do the same? It took a while, but when I finally got the the same point in life (just for the record, it was not after I crossed the Mexican border with a motorcycle battery stuffed full of white powder) I tossed into sand not my father's Omega, but my employer's Nokia instead.
Which explains why the religion of which I'm the Prophet and High Priest considers a motorcycle and a cell-phone two divergent devices, that have been given to us, first by the Almighty who loves us, second by the Fallen Angel who is trying to make each and every one of us his unquestioning slave; since every call could conceivably be some directive from the Lucifer herself, those whose souls belong to her keep the infernal device on their person at all times and answer every call. Riding with one is not only a cosmic contradiction, but an ultimate sacrilege, which will, when my religion finally becomes The Church Universal, get the offender burned at the stake with the cell phone nailed to his forehead. (No, the motorcycle is not burned, the High Priest gets to keep it

Other: Odd Man Out (1947)
Carol Reed director, James Mason, the protagonist. 'nuff said...

Hey Rotor - this religion of yours, is there any type of initiation process (other than being burned at the stake with a cellphone nailed to my forehead which I'm not all that interested in) or can just anyone join?

Anybody can join, there is no requirement other than being able to ride. To attain the priesthood however, one must recreate The Scene, not with a wrist-watch, but with a cell phone. (Any old flip-phone will do, one does't need László Kovács behind the camera, and local rec-area will do OK for scenery):



(From 1:22 on...)

Then post the video, tagged "The Faith of Freedom" and that is it - you are the priest of The Faith of Freedom. (You can claim sales-tax exemption on all your future motorcycle purchases.)

Motorcycles is and will always be my 1st love and it is the kind of love that death do us part.
it was expensive to upgrade from a 10 year used BS Crazy Bipolar Redhead to the perfect wife of 36 years now , but I can fondly recall almost every unique experience on close to 50 motorcycles i have owned and many more i have ridden. some i would never want to own BTW with the Kawasaki H2 750 Triple at the top of that list.
having given up Hayabusa's because of lack of self restraint I have mellowed into the perfect motorcycle the CB1100 and am a happy man

full movie gift = on any sunday 1971

As long as this thread has wandered off the rails....I'd like to ask users NOT to change the subject line when replying to a post. It confuses me when I look at the "Recent Posts" preview on the right side of the page.

I'm probably the principal offender.

This is based on my understanding that any threaded discussion (e-mail list, forum...) is by design organized so that the thread is something that keeps the topic and all the responses together, and individual post subject lines must be the gist of what that particular response is all about, so that the reader can decide whether it is or isn't worth his time to read the full text, and, more importantly, so that one can easily find a response addressing some particular item in a long (sometimes very, very long...) list of responses in one thread (especially important in threads that wander into the blue yonder...)

IMHO, an ideal solution would be for the "recent list" to include both the topic and the recent post subject. Does the software used for this forum allow this? Any guidance from the moderators?

Too confusing for me , I'm out
