The IMDb Top 250 - 365 challenge - Page 11

Pumpkinstew · 13-01-2009, 20:14

**Top250 Alert**

Spoilt for choice for movies on Freeview tonight:
#27 Memento Film4 1045-1255
#122 Gladiator FiveUS 9.00-11.00
#105 Jaws ITV4 10.25-1255
We're gonna need a bigger drive

Or if you want to go off challenge Thank You for Smoking is on Film4 at 9.00 right before Memento, which is an excellent film with Aaron Eckhardt about a tobacco industry lobbyist. If you like black comedies or wry satires you'll enjoy this.
Or on More4 from 10.00 to 12.45 is the eye opening Metallica doc Some Kind of Monster.
Or if you want a high power classic with Jack Nicholson in the mood to chew up dialogue, sets and co-stars as only he can A Few Good Men is on ITV2 from 9.00-11.50.

You want answers?

Everyone needs to see Memento. One of my favourite movies of all time.

Nice spots Pimpkinstew, thanks for the update.

Thanks for the info, have set Jaws to record on the sky box already got the other 2.

On a side note does anyone know what type of HDD goes into a sky box? IDE or Sata as ours is getting kinda full atm. Or are there external drives that you can use on it?

Also what size is ok to put into the box?

Think thats all the questions for now

Trainspotting and 12 Angry Men done

.

I won't be doing this properly as I have already seen 113 of them (I have watch a few more but forgotten them so will probably need to rewatch a few)and I absolutely refuse to rewatch some of them

There are also others in the top 250 that I started to watch (usually on more than one occasion) and gave up because I found them tedious. I can think of better ways to waste my time

I will, however, be watching those ones that for some reason I have shamefully managed to miss. I'll try and get round to voting on them too.... http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=38450307

Worth a Mention:

Apart from that list, worth a mention is The Hurricane which is on tonight at 10pm on Sky Movies Drama with Denzel Washington.

Quote:

Boxer Rubin `Hurricane' Carter dreams of winning the middleweight world title, only to be wrongfully thrown into prison for the murders of three people in a bar. While he's in jail, a young boy reads his autobiography and sets out on a campaign to free him. Acclaimed fact-based drama, starring the excellent Denzel Washington in a powerful performance which earned him an Oscar nomination, alongside John Hannah, Deborah Kara Unger, Liev Schreiber and Dan Hedaya

The Hurricane is one of my favourite all time movies. It's outstanding.
