Must See Movies

[boozeman]

That’s a tough one. I immediately think about my favorite movies, and I just can’t bring myself to imagine replacements for great roles.

Think about it, who could do a better Doc Holliday than Kilmer? Or a better Tony Montana than Pacino?

I’ll have to think about this when I’m high later.

I was more thinking about movies that had the potential to be good were ruined by bad casting.

Highlander was one of them. Successful franchise at the end of the day inspite of itself.

It had damned Sean Connery in it, dammit.

But Christopher Lambert was a complete stiff who ruined everything from the first moment of the movie.

Got it.

I’ll think on it.

Since everything gets remade...name your movie you would bet on being successful if cast right...

My first is Highlander.

The post of the year.

Dennis Quaid. As Doc Holliday. OK Corral.

Dennis Quaid. As Doc Holliday. OK Corral.

That’s almost as bad as Jaden Smith as the Karate Kid.

They should have named it “Mediocre Corral”.

Just fell into the old Schwarzenegger flick Commando on HBO.

Holy shit, that was some good cheesy 1980s action that I totally forgot about. Haven't seen it in years.

Nothing like Dan Hedeya trying to act like a South American drug lord.

Ahnold kicked ass in the day.

And they were awesome.

And anytime I say "Let's Party", I do it in Ahnold voice.

Watching Blazing Saddles for the first time in forever.

If you have not seen it in a while, it is really great. And it stands up to the test of time.

Burton Gilliam is a friend of mine but I haven’t seen much of him lately. He still makes a living off that movie and gets a lot of golf invites. I have the CD he gave me several years ago but I haven’t played it in a long time. The movie has its moments.

Great movie. Mel Brooks is one of my favorites, made so many great movies.

He's probably in the backyard with the NDSU football team.

What’s that about?

Referring to your post in the Dak thread (I believe) where the way you posted made it sound like you had the NDSU football team in your backyard.

It’s a saying when addressing locations especially when conversing with someone from afar. If something is close to you then it might be depicted as being in the back yard. The division championship with NDSU is played in Frisco a nearby town. I suppose you were then using this same depiction for Burton Gilliam and he was misplaced somewhere in my metaphoric backyard ?
