Arrogant Khan

First topic message reminder :

Just found a quick thread for all those Khan fans/haters. Amir is explaining why he thinks he isnt arrogant and that its all banter. What you guys think? I dont think he is as many of you are aware, i just feel he has a great sense of self belief and confidence.

Cheers, enjoy your day!

Man Bites Dog Dass, you're a sick puppy, good film though.

Will check that out, I always enjoyed "The Champ" (1931 version) with Wallace Beery. A nice film about boxing and black/white to boot.

Somebody Up There Likes me is worth watching as well, am a big Paul Newman fan and he does a decent job. It helps that Rocky Graziano has lived one hell of a life.

Where does "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) fit into all this?

It's the gay man's wonderful life.

Union it that your way of telling us you are a friend of Dorothy?

I didn't know that.

The fact I can't stand Judy Garland or 99% versions of "Over the Rainbow" (Eva Cassidy or Jeff Beck are the only ones I like) it fits in the rubbish bin.

Have seen "Someone up there likes me", big Newman fan.

I was referring to it being black & white to start with but then filled with wonderful pretty colours later on in the film, oh its just delightful. And oh, those shoes! The red sparkly shoes are just adorable!

Is this my wife? Have you been logging on at home again?

After playing the cowardly lion as a ten year old boy in my primary school's 1999 production of the Wizard of Oz, I have to admit that it's one which is near and dear to me.

Look at the evidence. Dorothy is quite clearly the fag hag, surrounded by 3 effeminate blokes who all like dancing and singing. The film is more gay than Tom Daly

Nope, just not a fan of fairy prancing movies.

Or just a simple man.

Wasn't aware simple people had the necessaries to gain a degree in economics. I guess my intelligence levels are really that low having done such a cop-out degree!

You're starting to sound like Trussman.

Coxy come on now, you're bordering very close to Truss territory feeling the need to tell us how well qualified you are. You may well be bright does not mean you do not have horrific taste in films.

Klaus Kinski would kick Stathams ass.

He claimed psychology was something to be proud of. At a polytechnic.

Throwaway comment dear boy, if i were sounding like Truss i'd mention it every other day.

Nothing beats a good old bit of dumbed down action on a Sunday night.

But my favourite films, to give you a better idea:

Leon
Event Horizon
Dog Soldiers
Kungfu Hustle

And the last one even has subtitles.... oooohhhhh look at me

Jog on Coxy. I am fed up of people ruining threads with hit and run comments.....

Typical Brit.......no class......!!!!!!

My son is more intelligent than you.......

Tino

Coxy you could always mention how much you can't stand your wife, your offspring or the country you've chosen to make your home...

Also use disembodied sentences and poor punctuation...

Maybe even talk about how much of a beefcake you are...

Probably finish the post with a

You missed out:

Mrs is pregnant again, whinge whine whinge

Father in law is making me do this and that

I benched 340lbs. Using my teeth.

Event Horizon is tosh coxy, I thought you had better taste..! Space Hellraiser?

Coxy if you are seriously trying to pull off a Truss impression would surely have listed this beauty in your favourite films

Excuse me? Brilliant sci-fi horror, still the only film to genuinly scare me. Stuff like The Excorcist etc i pretty much giggled at.

Laurence Fishbourne at his best as well.

More applicable to our esteemed Yank: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144168/

Childish but still pretty funny Coxy, however Event Horizon is drivel.

Can't beat Aliens for a bit of rudey poo the pants stuff. there was a film with Affleck that scared the rudey poo out of me for the first30 mins. Phantoms I think it was called.

Leon - Just class.
Event Horizon - Always prefer psychological horror and this is a fav of mine.
Dog Soldiers - meh
Kungfu Hustle - Stephen Chow is awesome and looking forward to the sequel to this film.

Coxy you have redeemed yourself

Surprised you haven't added any Pixie Lott videos to your list of favourite films, Coxy, given your previous, erm...outbursts regarding her.

Ignore that last one, wrong thread!

Will give you Leon Coxy and Kung Fu Hustle, however much as I like him Oldman's over acting grates after a while. Does have Daniel Aiello or however you spell it which is a plus for it. The less said about the other two the better.

Jeff, I'm sorry but no. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Baby no!

I don't set many ground rules, but we need one now. Gary Oldman's impeccable acting shall not ever be subjected to any even remotely negative comments. The man is a wizard on the screen!

Gimme a good Clint Eastwood film any day. Dirty Harry, Gran Torino, Mystic River...he's proved himself time and again.

For horror though...the last film to scare me was probably Jaws, when I was a kid. I used to have the kid's game too, and even that cacked me up.

I agree he is terrific but he is prone to bouts of overacting and in Leon he is so far over the line he cannot even see the line. Now The Firm or State of Grace are different matters all together and in those he is beyond reproach.

Lost. In. Space.

Now you're talking Balti, Jaws is a top ten film for me and comfortably Speilberg's finest hour, Sphincters list doesn't get close, even though it's in black and white

1. Scarface
2. Mario Puzo's The Godfather
3. The Deerhunter
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Rocky V

Christ alive, Oldman delivers one of the great cinematic lines in history....

"Get me everyone...."

"What do you mean everyon?"

"Evvvverrryyyyyonnnnneeeee......"

Brilliant

And Dog Soldiers is bloody brilliant....

"Where's Spoon?"

"There is no Spoon"

I almost quite literally peed myself at that point, for me it's an all time great British comedy film! Certainly wees all over most others!

He's had a few moments I'd happily have vie for his top spot, in fairness. ET not one though.

Dog Soldiers is good, but it's about a 7/10. British comedies of recent years...well, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz for me. For a good serious flick; Dead Man's Shoes.

At the risk of incurring Rowley's wrath (again) on this issue...Does anyone else agree with me that 'The Godfather' was the most overrated film of all time? Decent flick, don't get me wrong, but why is it constantly at or near the very top of all these all-time lists by film critics and organizations?

Too long, takes an age to get going, Pacino just doesn't convince me in it, Brando's not really in it as much as many seem to think...I could go on!

No.

Not nearly as over-rated as Raging Bull, I just don't understand what all the fuss is about.

Realistic fight scenes?

Cobblers.

Yeah not a massive Raging Bull fan.
