This thread reminds me you can never run out of good films to watch

Sharshank Redemption
Although many times i started to watch it then fell asleep or switched over during the first 30 mins, it's on many a great film list so i do wonder what i am missing.

Marlon Brando Films
After seeing Mutiny on the Bounty the other day i wonder why i have not seen Marlon Brando in any other Films.

Killer Elite
a bit worried by the Video Game sounding title. The Previews of it look awesome, and anything with Deniro and Statham in has to be good.

Monty Python's Holy Grail
Re-watch the film that helped define my funny bone.

Marlon Brando filmography

An enduring cultural icon, Brando became a box office star during the 1950s, during which time he racked up five Oscar nominations as Best Actor. He initially gained popularity for recreating the role as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), a Tennessee Williams play that had established him as Broadway star during its 1947-49 stage run, and for his Academy Award-winning performance as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront (1954), as well as for his iconic portrayal of the rebel motorcycle gang leader Johnny Strabler in The Wild One (1953), which is considered to be one of the most famous images in pop culture. Brando was also was nominated for the Oscar for playing Emiliano Zapata in Viva Zapata! (1952), Mark Antony in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's 1953 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and as Air Force Major Lloyd Gruver in Sayonara (1957), Joshua Logan's adaption of James Michener's 1954 novel. He made the Top Ten Money Making Stars, as ranked by Quigley Publications' annual survey of movie exhibitors, three times in the decade, coming in at number 10 in 1954, number 6 in 1955, and number 4 in 1958.

Brando directed and starred in the cult western film One-Eyed Jacks that was released in 1961, after which he delivered a series of box office failures beginning with the non-success of the 1962 remake of Mutiny on the Bounty. The 1960s proved to be a fallow decade from Brando, and after 10 years in which he did not appear in a commercially successful movie, he won his second Academy Award for playing Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972), a role critics consider among his greatest. The movie, which became the most commercially successful film of all time when it was released, along with his Oscar-nominated performance as Paul in Last Tango in Paris (1972), another smash hit, revitalized Brando's career and reestablished him in the ranks of top box office stars, placing him at number 6 and number 10 in Top 10 Money Making Stars poll in 1972 and 1973, respectively.

Ah yes of course i remember him in the Godfather now, never seen The wild one or Streetcar named desire, although i have heard of them.

Final destination 5!

I finally watched Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis over the weekend. It's been on my 'to watch' list for years. They found deleted scenes on a reel of film in Argentina, and have almost completely restored it.

"I could of had class, I could of been a contender, I could of been somebody"

So that's where that sample on many a tune comes from

some actors just have that effortless charisma don't they.

For Omah, seems to want the whole thing, word for word:

"You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley."
