Time Bandits
The old Steve McQueen version of The Getaway. Shotgun toting badass.You got a taste for? Nostaligia? Classics? I love them.Lots hate them. LOL.
Just watched African Queen (OLD Humphrie Bogart) with the wife and we enjoyed.
You listed many I like that I have seen bad reviews? for. The un highlighted ones I have yet to see.
The Highwayen - Its ok to laugh.... LMAO at myself.
At first I took it for the Johnny Cash/Kris Kristofferson/Waylon Jennings/WillieNelson country music supergroup!
Hell or High Water - I saw the original trailer yet have not been able to see yet.
Collateral - Same thing. Just not seen yet.
One more - you can laugh again..... yet there is a possibilty my guess is right since many of your films I own and I know the release dates.
The Getaway - is that the 1972 Steve McQueen version or the 1994 Alec Baldwin? I liked them both.
Since you enjoyed those.
You may enjoy Steve McQueen's - Thomas Crowne Affair. Re-made with Pierce Brosnan / Rene Russo (very good as well)
Here is one of mine: Its long and hard for some to sit thru. Terrible re make some years back. Again a Steve McQueen. Papillon.
Right now I am watching (very rare for me) a very new movie. Amsterdam... 1/3 thru it and so far so good. Never cared for Christian Bale yet I have seen two things with him recently and changed my opinion. #1 American Hustle #2 Amsterdam (so far.)
Only saw Oldboy from that list, quite a twister...The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner - Tom Courtenay
Oldboy - A Spike Lee film from around 2012 with James Brolin
Nebraska - Bruce Dern
On The Edge - Bruce Dern
Harry and Tonto - Art Carney
Lucky - Harry Dean Stanton (his last pic)
The Man Who Wasn't There - Coen Bros, great cast!
A Midnight Clear - Peter Berg, Kevin Dillon
I could go on ... there are so many under recognized films
1) When movie "Drive" came out in 2011, I got excited about it and watched it with a group of friends. None of them enjoyed it as much as I did. Re-watched it recently and enjoyed it just as much as I did back in 2011.
The only one of those I've seen is "Loneliness Of The Long-Distance Runner". A coworker who knew I ran marathons and didn't have pay TV taped it for me on VHS.The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner - Tom Courtenay
Oldboy - A Spike Lee film from around 2012 with James Brolin
Nebraska - Bruce Dern
On The Edge - Bruce Dern

No Country for Old Men
Waterworld with Kevin Costner.
No Country for Old Men..... Brolin was not your everyday John Doe.. In the movie he was a Vietnam veteran who had already survived people trying to kill him. So yeah, he did much better than most of us I guess would have. Anyway, while disturbing , I like something about it. "Do u have a quarter? Heads or tails!?" "Wait a moment now friend, I have to know what we flipping for here." Then the maniac killer says. "You are flipping for it all , friendo. Now call it!"Now who doesn't like that one?
Though I find it disturbing aswell. Especially how Brolin's character ends up dead while handling the money case with such care. They would've got me much earlier, except that trackers are so omnipresent now that I would look for it immediately.
