Which "good guy vs bad buy" movies make you want to cheer? :lol: Tonight they showed The Untouchables

(sigh, that scottish accent of Sean Connery! I don't think I can say I loved that he won an Oscar for it, because that would be hijacking my own thread! :lol: )

There were a number of scenes where I wanted to leap out of my chair and jump up and down! But I will limit myself to two :lol: The first was just after Kevin Costner assembled his team (Sean Connery, Andy Garcia and the "accountant"). Sean Connery proceeded to lead them/direct them on a raid to find the liquer. I knew what was coming :roll: ie. the raid would be a success but I still wanted to cheer :lol:

Another scene is when they are on the US/Canadian border waiting to intercept the delivery with the Canadians. The guy who played the "accountant" was brilliant! (and of course Sean Connery was brilliant too but I don't need to say that :wink: :lol: )

Another scene (I know, I know, I did say two but this is a small one so it will be almost 2.5 :lol: ) was where Sean Connery and Kevin Costner went to the training academy to recruit. The part where Sean Connery goads Andy Garcia and Andy Garcia "puts Sean Connery in his place" :banana: (in this scene, Sean Connery was pretending to be a "bad guy" to try and get the right person to join the team)
 
Hands down anything involving Clint Eastwood, a badge, and a gun. Preferably spaghetti westerns, but I'll take the Dirty Harry movies, too (the edited for TV versions ... less blood. :lol: :lol: )

Not that I really know the difference, but, doesn't he have a Welch accent?

The Rock works for me. Sean Connery again :banana: and Nicholas Cage, one of the few actors who can credibly be on the same stage with Connery, in my opinion.
 
Oh. I touhgt he was from Scotland. Whatever. :?

Nicholas Cage is a GREAT bad guy. Wasn't he the one in that Face something movie with John Travolta? You know. The one where he stole Travolta's identity through plastic surgery?

Great movie. Now I have to :google: ... as if you didn't know it was coming. :lol: :lol:
 
Ooh, sorry! I should have said good guys Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, and conflicted bad guy Ed Harris who did do a magnificent job!

I think I remember Connery saying he had a Welch accent one time. Whatever his accent his voice is magnificent! Anyway this is turning into the Sean Connery hijack.

Yeah, Cage was in The Face.
 
Never saw The Rock. Sorry. I've been following Nicholas Cage for a long time, though, since what was that movie with him and Sean Penn way long ago? Can't remember.

You know who else is a good bad guy? Stanley Tucci. He's just a plain good actor. He can be totally evil in one film, and a laughable silly guy in another.

But I digress. Good guy/bad guy. Hmm.


Edit: Too many typos. Time to go (back) to bed. :lol:
 
Loved Alan Rickman in Die Hard...

and in Robin Hood...he stole the movie from Kevin Costner.

...oh that velvety voice!

Those movies were pure fun...on a more serious note Closetland was a very serious movie with AR as the bad guy. Never could watch the whole thing through in one sitting...it was just to intense...but a very good movie on a serious subject. (torture and interogation of political prisoners)

Clint Eastwood and Spaghetti Westerns... Love him! :lol: :lol:

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is one of my faves -- too darn long, but one of my favorites, anyway. 8)
 
Yes... I also like the one with Gian Maria Volonte (I never remember which it is - either "For a fistful of dollars" or "For a few dollars more" - I think the former)... and I am not so crazy about the third one... :)

I generally like Clint Eastwood... and I like heroes who are not "definitely white" in the sense of goodness... I don't like John Wayne at all! He bored me to death all the time! Same goes for other actors who just look as if they were "saints"... I prefer Clint and his ragged, drunk, worn-out anti-heroes... :)
 
Exactly why I like the Dirty Harry movies -- a hero ... sort of. :lol:

I think a Fistful of Dollars is the one -- the one where the Gian Maria Volonte raped Clint's sister, and spends the movie having flashbacks? Gotta love the scenes at the end in the ghost town... in inevitability of it all. 8)
 
Oh yeah!! It's been a long time since I've seen those movies -- a pity, since I have all the videos in my house ... somewhere. I feel a movie marathon coming on this weekend.

(And, btw, Lee Van Cleef was also an excellent bad/good guy. :wink: )
 
My favorite good guy/bad guy movie would still have to be Day of the Jackel (the original, not some ridiculous remake). It's still the "granddaddy of 'em all" when it comes to action movies. And to this day, I still cannot figure out how the screenwriter manages to get me to root for the BAD guy every single time!!
