Alien

I agree, they should've stopped at 3, Murtaugh was too old for that shit.

The crows recruiting office!

The Indiana Jones trilogy.
I'm not counting the 4th one because everyone knows it's shit.

It's no surprise that the two best Indiana Jones movies were ones that had Judeo-Christian artifacts as their MacGuffin (the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail). Temple of Doom and the Crystal Skull (which should have stayed as a Disneyland ride, btw) didn't resonate with audiences because the plot devices weren't part of popular culture.

If they ever made a fifth Indiana Jones movie - and I think they will - I would say it would be based around the Lance of Longinus aka the Spear of Destiny - the spear that pierced the side of Christ on the cross. Lots of reasons to include the Knights Templar, Baphomet, the Illuminati and all that estoteric stuff that people seem to love hearing about...instead of alien spaceships and alternate dimensions.

Austin Powers, for what it was

Who's the deckhead now, eh?

 

[SupportMe]

Oh, The Matrix...what you could have been.

(I really like Reloaded as an action film - but Revolutions is a terrible half-movie)

I'm starting to imagine footyhead07 with a mullet.

I had him putting the lotion on the skin.

Tomato sauce isn't lotion.

It's no surprise that the two best Indiana Jones movies ....

They were good because they were fresh, the third one was a crazy cash-in decades later. We've now reached the point where people are naming any three remotely connected movies. The 'Carry On' franchise, Charles Bronson's 'Death Wish' series, it goes on forever. Many of them were entertaining and while it's not for me to say which was best there are few that are classics.

Da

Tomato sauce isn't lotion.

Dang!!

No Bourne love?

The new one doesn't count

 

[Portia]

I liked Bourne, right up until a highly trained assassin decided the best way to attack Bourne was swinging through a closed window on a rope.

Can anyone tell me why farts smell worse in the shower or bath? This seems an appropriate place to ask.

Water molecules bond well with methane, and it makes our smell receptors more susceptible to the smell.

Yes, but also CO2 and H2S

and it makes our smell receptors more susceptible to the smell.

Almost. The conditions of high humidity/temperature cause it.

 

[Stromageddon]

Okay, while we're on the topic of farts... When it is cold outside and you breathe, you can see it. Does it happen with farts? Can you see your farts in the cold?

 

[It Just Is]

And you don't wear clothes on in the shower.

[Asgardian]

Yuck. Though the Good, the Bad and the Ugly is one of my all time favorite movies.

Actually are you just trolling me with that list? I mean the Naked Gun is incredible, but the others...

BTW I did say personally

EDIT: The Karate Kid.

I do not recall anyone not liking The Three Colors trilogy.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Home Alone 1 & 2

Three Colours was a great trilogy.

The Swedish originals of the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo etc etc trilogy are epic.

I had a piss next to Brian McFadden on Saturday. I got him beat.

 

[bomberclifford]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Dirty Harry series.

BTW semi-related trivia...

Jessica Walter, (Lucille Bluth / Malory Archer), played the crazy that Clint got mixed up with in Play Misty For Me.

 

[bomberclifford]

... also, Tatiana was a pretty good trilogy.

 

[Oliver King]

I watched the first Dirty Harry a few months ago for the first time. Liked it.

 

[Hooligan87]

The original American Pie trilogy.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

The Tube is the most efficient public transit system I've used or at least on par with New Yorks subway. Sure it gets crowded on peak hour but it pretty much gets you anywhere you want and fast. Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why Australian cities don't have these kind of under ground rail networks.
