Glory. Epic movie equal parts tragic and uplifting

Its an Ok film, I had to look it up cause i couldn't remember, Denzel wins best supporting actor for it. Also a big film for Morgan Freeman too. Of course one of my favourite actors Andre Braugher makes his film debut in it, I saw a great old interview with Andre a few months back when he talked about getting his role as Detective Frank Pembleton in Homicide and how he couldnt believe a role like that on network TV would go to a black actor. Class dude.

However, its not even the best film about the civil war!!! 1993's Gettysburg in its 4 and half hours is the vastly superior film. Martin Sheen as Robert E Lee, Tom Berenger as James Longstreet, Steven Lang as General Pickett, this is a great scene after Pickett's division gets smashed.



But for me If I was to pick a true war epic it would be The Great Escape

I love SportsNight, it was the first Sorkin show I saw. They had it on Comedy Central for a while. It's available to acquire through, ahem, alternate means.

Have you ever seen Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip? It was Sorkin's followup to West Wing, basically the same set up as 30 Rock, behind-the-scenes-at-not-SNL, only presented in more of a dramatic sense, as Sorkin does. It actually premiered the same year as 30 Rock, everyone thought it would be the big winner between the two - because Sorkin and bigger stars. But it was just too expensive, got cancelled after 1 season.

Pulp Fiction is a good shout as a one film.

Sports Night and Studio 60 both got about 5 seconds on TV here and were canned. I really liked what I saw of sports night, never saw studio 60, think it might have been on pay tv here.

I'd love to see Sorkin working again, think right now his voice and vision of America would be really meaningful.

Haven’t seen that one.. should see it sometimes.

Im doing a top three all by the same film makers.

1. The Big Lebowski

2. No Country for Old Men

3. O Brother, where art thou?

All films by the Coen brothers, their remake of True Grit would probably be number four, their is just something about their films, I love, their humour, artistry, I dunno I just find them very rewatchable.

What if you have to choose only 1 though?

The idea behind choosing 1 movie to watch for the rest of your life is more of a movie that maybe more personal to you. Or a movie you can watch over and over and still enjoy, etc.

It’s not “list the best movies ever made” type question.

You naming 10+ movies so far in this thread tells me you’re missing the point of the thread.

I clearly picked The Big Lebowski, I am in general just discussing other films, what that's not allowed? We're not discuss other films? No discussion? no opinions? you twit.

I see no discussion about the movie you picked.

nobody has asked or offered an opinion.

Lebowski is infinitely re-watchable. No country was a solid second but part of what makes it so amazing is that it is not just a movie but cinema, now if the one and only movie had to be watched in a cinema my answer might be different again!

Meanwhile you named two yourself.

Yeah tossing up 2 vs naming 10+ aren’t the same.
