Koyaanisqatsi is a classic and features excellent score composed by Philip Glass. The "sequel" Powaqqatsi is also pretty good. Have you seen it Helen and LwC?

No, aTomiK, I haven't seen it and I don't think that I probably will.

This was a very good spy thriller set in 1940s, directed by Richard Marquand (Return of the Jedi, Jagged Edge) The movie is based on the novel by Ken Follett and stars Donald Sutherland, Kate Nelligan, Christopher Cazenove and Stephen MacKenna.
Nice locations, great acting and clever story. Recommended!

Good action/adventure film based on a true story, directed by Peter R. Hunt. The cast is fantastic: Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Andrew Stevens, Ed Lauter, Carl Weathers, Scott Hylands, Angie D1ckinson, Henry Beckman, William Sanderson, Jon Cedar and Maury Chaykin.
Great gun action and i loved the Rocky Mountains locations and the cinematography.
"Carl Monroe and 'Joker' Johnson share some things: They are both in jail and they both hate each other. After a fist fight the are going to be put into an other jailhouse by car. They come to blows so wild that their transport has an accident. They manage to escape chained to each other, still hating each other and the sheriff hunting them." (IMDb)
This was a decent made-for-tv remake of the ´58 movie. The cast was good: Robert Urich, Carl Weathers, Ed Lauter, Barry Corbin, Thalmus Rasulala, William Sanderson and Laurie O'Brien.
It was nice to follow the three different groups: The escaped convicts, hunting party 1: local sheriff (Lauter) and his men and hunting party 2: the prison warden (Corbin) and his hick helpers.

i was 10 to 19 during the 80's so there were a lot of movies geared towards adults(not THOSE kind) i didn't watch because i wasn't interested that i find myself watching now. some of the ones i've seen recently and liked are:
gandhi the killing fields chariots of fire the milagro beanfield war cinema paradiso empire of the sun
there are soooo many more that i want to see. i usually look for top 100 80's movie lists to look for movies i may have missed. i also use those lists to watch movies i did see back then that i'd like to rewatch. and coming here is a good way to find forgotten movies.

All good movies xchazx, i´ve yet to see Gandhi. I watched lots of these "serious" movies already in the early 90s. Now i´m catching up with the more obscure stuff i missed back then but yeah, it´s nice to check out a movie which has more than 3.6 rating on the IMDb every now and then Posts: 5123 | From: Finland | Registered: Feb 2008 | Site Updates: 7
