Favorite Movie Lists (aka Cabin Fever Shenanigans)

Too confusing for me , I'm out

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?

That’s a question only the boss can answer. Us moderators aren’t allowed anywhere near the software.

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.)

Gee! Two Steppenwolf songs in the first 3 minutes. Love it!

For good reason on my part at least lol

Ok, I want to change my choices.

My top 5 now consists completely of Nicholas Sparks books that have been turned into movies.

LOL Nice, W/R. Mildly depressing, but nice.

No it does not. As for [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=12072]my advice (ignoring post #2 and beyond ).

One movie I will not watch again is "Roustabout" where Elvis wrecks a perfectly good Honda CB77!

Movies I will watch are:
My Cousin Vinny
and Clint Eastwood movies including:
Dirty Harry
Grand Torino
The Outlaw Josey Wales

[the Ferret]

Grand Torino was a hoot.

[Cormanus]

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".

W/R, I’d have said that honour belongs to “Unforgiven”, but it’s a while since I saw “The Outlaw Josey Wales’. Maybe I should watch it again.
