The 13th Warrior

[Jersay]

Now it has been awhile, but did anyone like the movie if you watched it.

I liked it personally in the combat and everything but it was kind of phony script.

 

[missile]

This is strange,as I just bought a copy a few weeks ago Yes,I really like the film[based on the Michael Creighton book]pardon my spelling,please.it has a haunting quality to it that intrigued me and Banderas is one of my fave action stars.

 

[Finder]

Didn't this movie not only do horrible in the box office but also did not recieve good reviews?

 

[missile]

I just checked it out on the Movie database & couldn't find how it grossed,but the reviews were favourable. Crichton based the story on Boewulf[one of my fave legends,too]

 

[missile]

I also bought a copy of Kingdom Of Heaven w. Orlando Bloom.If you like a Epic film with lots of action/violence and a great storyline,you'll love it

 

[Finder]

historically incorrect as the movie was, I didn't mind it just for the fluff action, KoH that is.

 

[missile]

I never let a little thing like historical accuracy ruin my enjoyment of a good film,unless it's something like the vaccination marks on the arms in Ben Hur

lmao

here tryou these histoic video's. Most of them were done in the last few years.

Ceaser, Augustus, Empire and Nero.

I still have 8 more of the Sherlock Holmes collection to view,Wyatt Earp,Waterworld, and Shogun's Samurai, Butch Cassidy,The Verdict. and another lot of old b&w films to go thru first. I'm doing the Basil Rathbone Holmes now.

Trust me if you like historic movies they are the best for the Roman empire =-D

Though I still like Cleopatria and Sparticus which are a lot more older

The Liz Taylor one? I have that on VHS. She was one of the most beautiful actresses in the world.

 

[Finder]

yup she is and it was a great movie

 

[missile]

I lost a lot of great flicks because of the deterioration in the VHS tapes. I didn't know they had such a limited shelf life Had around 400 movies . Now,I have 65 on DVD,and want a few more before the big format change.

 

[Finder]

one of my first DVD's was cleopatra.

 

[missile]

The first DVD I bought was La Femme Nikita, and then my sister gave me a copy of the Beatles' Help..and that started me off on another collecting spree. Darn it!

 

[Finder]

yeah that wasn't a -bad- movie. I think my very first movie was Gladiator.

Now I think that movie was a pretty good one. I enjoyed it very much. The only thing which killed it for me is I saw it too many times.

 

[missile]

I probably watch most of mine once per year...like The Searchers, The Wild Bunch,Nikita. Most of my b&w's are lucky to be viewed once.. I'm about due for the marathon Lord of The Rings again.

 

[Finder]

I have at least 10 dvd's which I;'ve yet to actually watch. It's just when rogers pv's them for 9.99 how can I not buy it if it's a movie I liked. lol

 

[Jersay]

What movie are you guys on now?

 

[missile]

I buy the previously viewed ones at Blockbuster ,usually 10 to 12 dollars each, but got a few for 2 for 16 the last time, so bought Coppolla's Dracula and Hidalgo.
