nzoner 939 Posted January 10, 2018 Good idea for a list of movies based on real people and events. Blow Black Mass Donnie Brasco Public Enemies I see a trend developing here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 6,890 Posted January 10, 2018 Black Mass Donnie Brasco Public Enemies I see a trend developing here can't include goodfellas, as it would win easily. and the trend is Johnny Depp Was The Departed loosely based on true stories too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,062 Posted January 10, 2018 This is way too hard. These are some of my fave movies, all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,062 Posted January 10, 2018 im probably watch least movies of anyone here....but grown men really haven't seen the movies on this list? do you live under a mascara covered rock or something?? It’s a GC only thing. Seen all of these dozens of times each. Never even met or known a grown straight man who hasn’t. Not even because I had to seek them out, they were just...on.

Not even because I had to seek them out, they were just...on. Times I have seen the movies listed. Shawshank only once all the way through, but have seen snippets of it a ton of other times, flipping through channels Braveheart - I'll say 5 easy, maybe more. (i've seen the patriot at least 15) SPR - a good 5 to 7 Godfather - 10+ Goodfellas 25+ Since my son was born, Aug 2013, of all listed, have only seen the Godfather Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC Deuce 1 Posted January 10, 2018 This is Shawshank; and I don't feel it's close. I honestly saw Shawhank Redemption in 2010. For the first time. I am 48, I have watched it at least 100 times since, Goodfellas would be #2 from the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not even because I had to seek them out, they were just...on. Some people do not watch TV. I do not watch any of the most popular TV shows, not because I would not like them, but rather because I almost never watch TV. Breaking Bad Sopranos Game of Thrones etc. I have not watched any of the above list, that goes with many movies as well. I probably watch 6 movies a year at home. It has been at least 3 years since I have been to a movie theater. If I listed the last 5 movies I watched in a movie theater a Lord of the rings movie would make the list.

Hardcore troubadour 15,911 Posted January 10, 2018 Great list of movies for this poll. I took Goodfellas and one reason is it is based on real people and real events. The acting is terrific and the soundtrack is awesome! The soundtrack was perfect. The Billy Batts scene in the bar, the walk through the kitchen, Henry running from the helicopters. Even Bobby Vintons cameo was great. And the end with the Sex Pistols doing My Way. Just perfect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

penultimatestraw 473 Posted January 10, 2018 I've never seen Braveheart Me neither. Can't remember The Godfather and thought Private Ryan was pretty meh as well. Shawshank is clearly the best, though Goodfellas was good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 462 Posted January 10, 2018 You guys that haven't seen Braveheart. Do your self a favor and watch it, unedited, from the beginning. It has to be watched at least once. One of my favorite movies. Excellent, and based upon history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUXBNME 1,594 Posted January 10, 2018 Went with BraveHeart. That's an epic. The rest are movies I'll be a good ones. But we've seen variations on everything else in multiple movies before. 2000 World War 2 movies 900 prison movies Etc Besides, when the king throws that fairy War counselor at the window is still one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever. Totally unexpected and freakin hysterical. Comment on youtube: I am skilled in the arts of faggotry and deep-throating, sire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
