Breaker Morant Inherit the Wind Apollo 13 Anzacs* Saving Private Ryan* * Not sure if those two qualify since they're fiction characters in a faithful presentation of historical events. I'll amend the list if necessary. |

Round 115: TOP 5 BOND MOVIES I haven't posted on this thread before, but I can't resist this one--I used to love James Bond movies; now they are guilty pleasures (I see too much misogyny and unnecessary violence in them--I'm old). 1. Dr. No (1962)--really, any of the Sean Connery Bonds could be my #1 2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)--the most underrated Bond movie 3. Diamonds Are Forever (1971)--the 1st Bond movie I saw, it has nostalgic value for me 4. Casino Royale (2006)--LOVE Craig's Bond, looking forward to the next one 5. Tomorrow Never Dies (1999)--Brosnan was great as Bond, this one's my favorite I agree with Ms. R's Honorable mention going to Never Say Never Again, the real Thunderball. I would also mention the Peter Sellers version of Casino Royale. |

Only by a few years. Round 130: TOP 5 MOVIE SPACESHIPS 1. Star Dreadnought Executor [The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi] - Darth Vader's personal command ship. 2. Discovery One [2001: A Space Odyssey] - Probably what future spacecraft will really be like. And it's got HAL9000. 3. Patrol Craft [The Day the Earth Stood Still] - Right after this movie came out flying saucer sightings became all the rage. 4. Spaceball I [Spaceballs] - An incredibly large transformer that can vacuum the air out of planets. It also leaves a plaid vapour trail, which is a pretty good trick at parties. 5. Icarus [Planet of the Apes] - It can fly itself in a really big circle for 2006 years while its crew is asleep. |
