      my favorite films that i can remember right now: Seven, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket. i think i might have to also add Eyes Wide Shut because of all the scenes of kidman naked
      Yes it was Costello,I doubt he could have improved on Jack's performance.

          Diva (has my favorite character of all time Detective Gorodish)
          Clockers
          Full Metal Jacket
          Fright Night / Fright Night 2 (the original; "2" not the more modern "2"
          Gothic
          Star Wars
          Star Trek the Wrath of kahn
          The Shining (even if the book was better!)
          Above the Law (I know I know...) Mostly for the original scene where Seagal does his Akido sequence with an intent never seen in a martial arts movie of Japanese arts.
          The seven samurai
          Coppola's Dracula
          Cheech and Chongs series
          Ghost Dog
          China Town
          Gangs of New York
          The Wanderers
          Ghost Busters Sigourney Weaver was so hot!

          Man! these are just a few that come to mind! LOL.
          I just watched the Wanderers last night , I’m good friends with Michael Wright he lives in Hell’s Kitchen I crashed at his place last summer after a night of binging …lol

          It was a coin toss between that and the Warriors both came out the same year . He was also good in The Principal with Jim Belushi . Also didn’t include Star Wars there’s just to many of them I just categorize that as best entity .

They had everything for a buck! kung fu movies on 42nd street, horror movies, the latest films. My fondest childhood memory EVER was, as a little boy during the Blackout in the seventies. New York was boiling! Power was coming back, we lived in East Harlem and it was going to be a while... so mom decides to take me to a double feature down in Times Square. Taxi Driver and The Farmer! Good ole mom! I was thrilled to see a real movie, there was air conditioning, and that movie (I forgot for my list!) "The Farmer" was an incredible movie. You cannot find it these days... I had nightmares for a week lol, but it was the best time I ever had with my mother on an outing.
            LOL. I have to laugh. While you have "fond memories" as a kid in the NYC blackout my memories are somewhat different. For those who are unaware, the NYC blackout was in July of 1977 and parts of NYC were rocked by riots and looting. I was on the job about 5 years and assigned to the South Bronx. I spent that day and night with my fellow police officers battling rioters in the South Bronx and protecting fire fighters of the FDNY from being attacked while they tried to put out fires caused by the rioters.

            Be that as it may, I'm glad someone had fun that day. LOL

                I got blue balls during the 1992 l.a. riots

                I was 13

                My parents and uncles had businesses in l.a. rampart area

                Thought maybe we'd go there and guard the place and fight off looters

                Nope

                Never even went

                They just hired armed security and barricaded the place off, looters just went on by

                then I was hoping maybe thered be riots in our part of l.a.

                San fernando Valley

                Had my dads and uncles guns ready for anything

                Not a damn thing happened


                I just wanted to shoot a looter, at least one, just one

                Never saw a damn looter aside from on TV

                  my top 3 --

                  1. bloodsport
                  2. terminator 2
                  3. cobra (Sylvester Stallone)
                  Bloodsport at number? It's good, but not that good. I'm not sure if I like Bloodsport more than Lionheart or Kickboxer
