not sure anyone will agree but...

Robert De Niro : MEET THE PARENTS


- btw GOODFELLAS is my #1 movie of all time, and although he's great in it I just don't think of it as a 'De Niro' movie especially.

I think I would go with TAXI DRIVER or RAGING BULL.

fair enough, he's got about half a dozen films that are serious contenders... I keep meaning to check out RONIN, in fact I nearly just bought it earlier today when I was in HMV  but I went for Bava's BAY OF BLOOD instead cause somehow I've never seen that either...

.Sterling Hayden-That's tough. Either in the KILLING or DR.STRANGELOVE.
.Vincent Price- Dam. That's real tough. I have to go with COMEDY OF TERRORS. Or THEATER OF BLOOD.

I'd say the abominable Dr phibes, but that was so close to theater of blood it was nearly the same thing.

As for Hayden,  much as I love Dr. Strangelove, I have to say his best was the asphalt jungle.

I agree; for STERLING HAYDEN it's ASPHALT JUNGLE.

Agreed, except for KIRK DOUGLAS I'd go with SPARTACUS.  It's a favorite of mine.

Witchfinder General would have to be the one I'd go with. Was watching it last night by coincidence.

Damn, AHD,  you like the asphalt jungle too?   Cheers

I thought it was a great film noir, one of the best. While the movie was black and white the characters weren't.  Hayden's character was a criminal but had a certain noble streak to him. Some cooswere crooked,  some criminals were humane.

I'd mention in passing it was the only movie with Marilyn Monroe in it I liked and I liked it despite her. I was not a MM fan and never  saw anything impressive about her.  Neither her looks nor acting made any impression on me.  

I liked Spartacus a lot for various reasons, not the east of which was kubrick giving a giant middle finger to the "black list" and openly hiring and crediting "banned" writers.  How appropriate for a movie about a man fighting oppression to defy the oppression ofthe McCarthy era  spawned black list.

The way he dealt with the taboo subject of homosexuality which existed in the roman empire was very subtle and suggestive,  needed to dodge the heavy handed censors of the day.

Richard Burboun, er I meant Burton, i'm torn between "the spy  who came in from the cold" or a little known movie called "Dr. Faustus". This was a little known movie that was more or less a filmed stage play. The stage play type style  gave the movie a certain,  I don't know exactly, a certain energy,  ehteusiasm,  I can't really say but I noticed it.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
