The Movie Man

well we will see but don't think he makes the top 20 for poll.

for just Robocop, then it would be at the bottom for stars with only 1 movies series???

good...and that is why I asked for suggestions, to make the best possible starting list!

whose Fisher and Lawerence - drawing blanks.... and I was going to leave Thurman out - 1 role with movie magic based on what you said - so does Lucy Liu or Cameron Diaz get listed??? anyway..... Zizi Zhang Michelle Yang Milla Jovovich Angelena Jolie Sigourney Weaver Linda Hamilton Kate Beckinsale - sorry but she has had been in a bunch of different action movies - and I was going to question her and Uma and Moss - but you listed Uma above. So let the people decide/vote. any other suggestions???????????

good point. and that is the way I started, with movie actors, and then switched it to the end with movie characters.

So, here is my first draft...any other suggestions...so I can make 3 good polls in 1 threadBEST REAL MOVIE FIGHTERS ON SCREENBEST MALE CHARACTERS IN ACTION MOVIES( haven't broken the following up int the 2 above categories but here are some ideas)Arnold SchwarzeneggerBruce LeeBruce WillisCharles BronsonChow Yon FatChuck NorrisClint EastwoodDewayne The Rock JohnsonDolph LundgrenDonnie Yen Harrison Ford Jackie ChanJason Statham Jean Claude Van Damme Jet Li Kurt Russell - Snake in Escape Movies Lee Marvin - Dirty Dozen Mel Gibson - Mad Max/Lethal Weapon Steven Seagal Sylester Stallone Tom Cruise Tony Jaa - Ong Bak Vin Diesel William Holden - Wild Bunch Yul Brenner - Magnificent Seven any other suggestions???????????????BEST FEMALE CHARACTERS IN ACTION MOVIESMoss - Trinty in MatrixBeckinsale - UnderworldWeaver - AliensHamilton - TerminatorGlau - Serenity/Terminator TVany other suggestions???????????????

Go On - Solid B - Very Likeable Show and Perry is funny playing a version of Chandler from Friends. Funny Sarcasm with some emotional issues.

No, it can be at anytime, if your grade of a show goes up or down.

This thread is now for > Who are the Best Female Action Stars of YesterYear...and if you have other choces, list in a post for Round 2.Zhang ZiyiMichelle YangMilla JovovichAngelena JolieSigourney WeaverLinda HamiltonKate BeckinsaleCameron DiazScarlet Johannson

and looking at poll 2 - Newman and Deniro so far - PS Good for Newman, as he was great and I am glad he is being appreciated. Pick 1 - Best of these 10 - Semi-Finalists [*]Al Pacino (0 votes [0.00%]) Percentage of vote: 0.00% [*]Clint Eastwood (1 votes [12.50%]) Percentage of vote: 12.50% [*]Dustin Hoffman (0 votes [0.00%]) Percentage of vote: 0.00% [*]Gene Hackman (0 votes [0.00%]) Percentage of vote: 0.00% [*]Harrison Ford (1 votes [12.50%]) Percentage of vote: 12.50% [*]Jack Nicholson (1 votes [12.50%]) Percentage of vote: 12.50% [*]Morgan Freeman (0 votes [0.00%]) Percentage of vote: 0.00% [*]Paul Newman (3 votes [37.50%]) Percentage of vote: 37.50% [*]Robert Deniro (2 votes [25.00%]) Percentage of vote: 25.00% [*]Sean Connery (0 votes [0.00%]) Percentage of vote: 0.00%

Sorry Folks, I am trying to keep the thread on line, but some people just seem to want to drive the thread in another way...LOL, Just Joking! haha...but again, instead of bitching, why don't you go with the question, of the 20 actors...... PS. Since I am movie man, and am all knowing, instead of talking Stallone here, why don't you make a thread > Who are the Top ACTION Stars Listed Here of Yesterday? As I hope you will agree that Stallone belongs more in the Action Category than the Classic Actor of Above! IMO of course!

Grade the Shows on TV, Including the New Shows StartingThe Mindy Show = FMaybe this is a Chick Show, but I think it is unfunny and lame. Truthfully I barely got Mindy on the Office where she was only good when not used too much. But here with her being this great doctor, and a messed up personal/sex life, just doesn't work for me!Ben & Kate = FJust horrible and stupid - not one decent laugh on this show. I don't know how this show made it on the air.Glee = Incomplete, as I only caught the second half of episode one. Think the NY split might work.

Can't you can the title of this so we get more talk about the current shows, rather than all these tired old shows that have been on the air for years.And considering you started 2 threads on new shows that you are anticipating, I don't understand why you or Baumer couldn't let us have one thread where we could talk about the new shows, that are horrible.Seems Worthy of having its own thread???? IMO

With these numbers, I think the NFL deserves a thread in the TV section. WOW! Sunday Night Football and Peyton Manning plus all repeats on tv = GREAT RATINGS! 24 Million People! Sunday (9/9/12) NBC 7:00-8:15 PM: "Football Night in America" (NBC) 8.75, 2.6 8:15-11:00 PM: "Sunday Night Football" (NBC) 23.93, 9.8

OK, racaping at 11 vores....and the big vote getters are...pretty good powerhouse! Harrison Ford (9 votes [10.84%]) Jack Nicholson (8 votes [9.64%]) Robert DeNiro (8 votes [9.64%]) Morgan Freeman (6 votes [7.23%]) Al Pacino (6 votes [7.23%]) Paul Newman (5 votes [6.02%]) Gene Hackman (5 votes [6.02%]) Poll: The Greatest of the Past Generation? (11 member(s) have cast votes) Who are the Best Movie Stars Listed Here of Yesterday? Pick all you think is worthy of being on this list) [*]Clint Eastwood (4 votes [4.82%]) Percentage of vote: 4.82% [*]Morgan Freeman (6 votes [7.23%]) Percentage of vote: 7.23% [*]Charles Laughton (1 votes [1.20%]) Percentage of vote: 1.20% [*]Robert DeNiro (8 votes [9.64%]) Percentage of vote: 9.64% [*]Al Pacino (6 votes [7.23%]) Percentage of vote: 7.23% [*]Jack Nicholson (8 votes [9.64%]) Percentage of vote: 9.64% [*]Marlon Brando (3 votes [3.61%]) Percentage of vote: 3.61% [*]Paul Newman (5 votes [6.02%]) Percentage of vote: 6.02% [*]Dustin Hoffman (4 votes [4.82%]) Percentage of vote: 4.82% [*]Peter Sellers (3 votes [3.61%]) Percentage of vote: 3.61% [*]Gene Hackman (5 votes [6.02%]) Percentage of vote: 6.02% [*]Robert DuVall (3 votes [3.61%]) Percentage of vote: 3.61% [*]John Wayne (1 votes [1.20%]) Percentage of vote: 1.20% [*]Anthony Quinn (1 votes [1.20%]) Percentage of vote: 1.20% [*]Michael Caine (4 votes [4.82%]) Percentage of vote: 4.82% [*]Sean Connery (4 votes [4.82%]) Percentage of vote: 4.82% [*]Peter O'Toole (3 votes [3.61%]) Percentage of vote: 3.61% [*]Harrison Ford (9 votes [10.84%]) Percentage of vote: 10.84% [*]Robert Redford (2 votes [2.41%]) Percentage of vote: 2.41% [*]Steve McQueen (3 votes [3.61%])

IMO, I kindof agree that the whole movie is bloated, and the movie is made mostly by the Napon/Beach scene

So are you keeping one thread, or having a new thread for each movie? If one thread, change post #1 to an index - #1- 500 is on pages 1 to 4 ....and on the poll, think the poll is on-going to you copy it down into a post to make it offical...and start a new poll or just delete the pollIMO - sorry I am a process reviewer at work, so I have to be detailed.

well poll isn't closed or locked yet, and it says 9/8, so I think voting should close 9/8..or Saturday, sometime - maybe Saturday noon? or at least Friday at midnight. Poll: Week of 9/8-9/14 (17 member(s) have cast votes) What movie should we watch for week 2? [*]Lawrence of Arabia (1 votes [6.25%]) Percentage of vote: 6.25% [*]Casablanca (4 votes [25.00%]) Percentage of vote: 25.00% [*]Apocalypse Now (6 votes [37.50%]) Percentage of vote: 37.50% [*]12 Angry Men (2 votes [12.50%]) Percentage of vote: 12.50% [*]Dr. Strangelove (3 votes [18.75%]) Percentage of vote: 18.75% [*]Ben-Hur (0 votes [0.00%]) Percentage of vote: 0.00% [*]Other (please specify) (0 votes [0.00%])

Typed this too fast - 500 - I just watched the movie, I say is a drama over a rom-com.and vote for the next pick is Casablanca - that I agree is a classic, and there are so many scenes that will blow people away.

If I just watched the movie, I say drama over romance.

I go with Casablanca, as it has a bit of everything, so let's find out if everyone agrees it is a classic.

To me, it wasn't exactly a fun film, and in some cases it seemed like torture, with how the girl was acting.Wanted to ask everyone about the ending. In how the whole movie was made, to have such a Hollywood ending where they both find happiness. Him with a beautiful Minka Kelly.

What would you grade the film? I don't understand - are we suppose to answer the spoiler questions - and why are they hidden?

Just thinking, not sure how you are going to do this, but hopefully this won't be a continuing thread.I think you should get a sub forum for the film club - number this #1 - leave it here in speakeasy until the next one starts, #2, and then move this into the sub forum - so that people can also come back and review and still discuss each film over time.

Well, I didn't think of him, as I was first adding in the better actors, than popular actors or box office stars - which Stallone wasAnd instead of bitching, why don't you go with the question, of the 20 actors......
