Right, complex question

[Dead_One]

You are having a movie weekend.

bet you can't (without mentioning tom cruise)

[Craig]

prob ones with Jean Claude Van Damme (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Van+Damme,+Jean-Claude) a true god...

the films

Tom Hanks:

Road to Perdition (although that ain't out here yet).

1.BIG (Not that big)
2.Cast Away (amazing plane crash)
3.Saving Prv Ryan (WW2 at its best)
4.Philadelphia (Simply Amazin)
5.Forset Gump (RUN FORESSST, RUNNNN)
6.Apollo 13 (But did we really land on the moon?)
7.The Geen Mile (Hand the tissues)
8.Sleepless in Seatle

And if theres a spare couple o days it would have to be the Band of Brothers box set which Mr Hank was so heavily involved in. What a man -

Dude.

[Big Adam]

Nah, Clint Eastwood!!!! He IS the man!

1. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
2. The Unforgiven
3. Dirty Harry
4. Pale Rider
5. Two Mules for Sister Sarah
6. A Fistful of Dollars
7. For a Few Dollars More
8. Firefox

Okay, so that last one is a dog, but it's early and it easily sprang to mind.

But for real lad's films, you can't beat Sean Connery:

1. The Rock
2. Highlander
3. The Hunt for Red October
4. That piece of crap with C-Zeta-Jones (for a bit of eye-candy)
5. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
6 to 8. Your favourite 3 Bond movies! :D

[scottie]

Connery wasn't in the 'Temple of Doom' :p

He was in 'The Last Crusade'

[Craig]

i can't stand sean connery, he's a complete tit... he speaks with a scottish accent and pimps the SNP, but lives in spain?!
and he also was behind that bloody snowdrop campaign < gets restrained before going into full rant mode >

You could have also had;

Replicant
Blood Sport
No Retreat, No Surrender
Black Eagle

And who could forget his amazing appearance in Breakdance:The Movie as one of the crowd watching the 'show' on the beach strip, & he was wearing one of his trademark spandex bodysuits :D :D

The Monk & Abomniable are 2 films I wouldn;t mind seeing of his (both this year releases when they finally get round to it).

I would have to go with Tupac Shakur

Gang Related (1997)(Posthumus Release)
Gridlock'd (1997) (Posthumus Release)
Bullet (1996)
Above the Rim (1994)
Poetic Justice (1993)
Juice (1992)


Can't do 8 unfortunatly due to the untimely death of Tupac Shakur in a driveby shooting after a Tyson fight in Las Vegas 1996.

If you want to see a good film, try 'xXx' (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0295701) with Vin Diesil ;) ;) or Wesley Snipes new one 'Undisputed'. (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0281322)
