New topic - Favorite movies
ale...@ix.netcom.com
already, and since this is one of the more cerebral newsgroups on the
net, these favorite <fill-in-the-blank> lists have been very good for
turning me onto things that I would not have normally investigated.
I decided favorite movies might be another good topic.
1. Apocalypse Now
2. Papillon
3. Leap of Faith
4. Casablanca
5. Braveheart
BTW, if you liked Apocalypse Now, you should rent "Hearts of Darkness,
the Making of Apocalypse Now". This was a documentary done by Francis
Ford Coppolas wife. Very, very intense.

I'd like to add a VERY honorable mention to:
The HBO movie on Don King (Ving Rhames was brilliant!)
Star Wars (not the first movie I ever saw in a theater but it WAS the first
movie I ever saw in a theater that made me say "Holy crap! That was COOL!)
The Devil's Advocate (Al Pacino. Nuff said)
Scarface (see Devil's Advocate)
Trainspotting (knew some guys just like that. should be required viewing
for High School kids)
Braveheart (Mel Gibson. Who knew?)
Saving Private Ryan (Tom Hanks. He's come a looooooooong way from Bosom
Buddies)

And just because NO one else will say it:
Shakes The Clown (How can ya not like a movie with Bobcat AND Lawanda Page)

I don't think anyone's mentioned some of my favorites:
*Don Juan De Marco (Okay, so the people that hate this movie usually REALLY
hate it)
*Immortal Beloved
*Basquiat
*Philadelphia (mentioned just for Tom Hanks great performance)
*Shindler's List (already mentioned, I know)
To get the topic back to LZ, can anyone think up a good drinking game for
TSRTS? I spend half my week in a dorm with four (way too young) undergrads, and
my turn is coming up. I had them drinking every time they heard "Rick's" name
in "Casablanca" last time, and was hoping to expose them to a little Zepp this
time. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I couldn't begin to list my favorite movies, but one that always comes to
mind is
Harold and Maude!
Okay, If I saw it today, I might think it was pretty silly and pathetic, but
when it came out my friends and I thought it was wonderful. (my age is
showing again!) : (

1) The Name of the Rose.
Fantastic movie with Sean Connery and F. Murray Abraham. F. Murray
Abraham soft spoken voice sends chills up my spine as he played the
role of Exorcist/Witchfinder.
2) Amadeus
Speaking of F. Murray Abraham...
3) Ordinary People
Donald Sutherland became gold plated in my eyes for his role as
Timothy Hutton's father in this movie. This is also the movie where
Mary Tyler Moore, America's sweetheart, shows her super-bitch acting
talents. Probably more of a thinking-man's man movie. If you read
and enjoyed Robert Bly's "Iron John", then you will appreciate the
dynamics of the father-son relationship in this movie.

BTW, Harold and Maude was a lot better than the other movie that Judi made
me watch when we first started dating. We had ditched classes at the

to me and says "Ooooh, Oooh, we have to get this movie! It was the
SCARIEST movie I ever saw in my life! You won't believe how scary it
was!!!" So I sez "OK". We go home and she pops in "Last House On The

The lamest movie I've ever seen. But I kept dating her anyway.

Hey! When I saw it at 15 or 16, it WAS the scariest movie I'd ever seen!
Although, I will admit, part of the paranoia could've come from the fact
that I was at the drive-in with friends, which wasn't allowed, and we were
doing things we shouldn't have been doing. ; ) I will also admit, when I
saw it that 2nd time, it was definitely a *very* lame movie.
But, I did see things in that movie that I didn't even know existed!

I can't believe I forgot RHPS! Another cult classic in-the-making is From
Dusk Until Dawn.

Two thumbs up to all of those! Wizard of Oz, one of my all-time faves.
And the theme for many an altered-reality evening in the old days ;)
> Evita,
I must be the *only* person on the planet who didn't like Evita. I fell
asleep :(
It does however remind me of another one Madonna was in that's a keeper:
Desperately Seeking Susan.
Also, speaking of Harold and Maude (and a certain era) how about M.A.S.H. ?
It was so irreverent at the time, and holds up well.

Leaping in here to tie this topic to music (though not Zep): Has
anyone ever run across the urban myth that Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of
the Moon" actually is a sort of "soundtrack" to "The Wizard of Oz"?
(That you can start the movie and then the DSotM CD, and they will
have surreal connections (apparently deliberately done by PF?!)
I haven't tested this personally, but Hummy at one point sent me all
the information about it. I'm sure if anyone wants to e-mail him, he
would be happy to send all the instructions for the exact point to
start the CD, and all the things to watch for. I remember there were
certainly a lot of bizarre similarities if it was all just sheer
coincidence...

I was thinking about that when I posted last, but I've never tried it,
since I don't have TWOO on video. Last year on the local classic rock
station they played some of the more intriguing bits during the morning
drive to work. It was pretty eerie, all the sychronicities. ISTR some of
the members of PF have been interviewed on the topic and deny any
intentionality. If that's true, it makes it even more bizarre.

You must be the first person of the female persuasion I've ever heard of
who liked that flick. (I'm assuming you enjoyed it, in addition to noting
it is a cult classic in the making). It's such a guys' film. I enjoyed it
tremendously. :-)

I'm sure it's coincidental, and that one would find the synchronicities
just as interesting if one were to play, say, Sgt. Pepper while watching
Gone with the Wind. And in some twisted way, I admire the people who have
enough time on their hands to conduct such experiments.

I don't know many people *at all* that liked FDUD. Even the guys that I
play music with (who are a pretty eclectic bunch) were grossed out by it!
And a guy that I work with who has a thing for Salma Hayak couldn't stand
the movie. I myself laughed 'til it hurt - and I *loved* that tatoo on
George Clooney's neck! He should play bad guys more often, imho.

Some ideas off the top of my head:
1 sip: bird (or birds) flying
1 sip: automobile shown onscreen
1 sip: new song starts
1 sip: Jimmy takes a solo
1 sip: revealing close-up of Robert's groin area (also known as
"crotch-cam" shot)
1 sip: babe in audience
10 sips: hunk in audience (good luck!)
2 sips: a horse (or horses) onscreen
2 sips: candle, torch or flames onscreen
2 sips: sword onscreen
2 sips: smoke show onstage
2 sips: firecracker heard to explode
3 sips: camera pans from stoned babe in crowd over to cop, who looks just
as stoned
3 sips: Bonzo and Jonesy have a conversation while playing
3 sips: bearded dude with glasses in crowd screams and sticks tongue out
3 sips: Jonesy's clothes change during song (aka "The song remains the
same, but not the shirt")
3 sips: moon (full or not) appears onscreen
3 sips: joint(s) thrown onstage
3 sips: Robert suddenly has great teeth
5 sips: non-live Zep track heard
Down whole bottle: Bonzo quaffs a pint at the pub near his home
...they should be pretty blasted after that.

Big mistake forcing your mate to watch a movie that was a favorite in
your adolescence. I made my wife watch "Little Big Man", a movie I
hadn't seen since it was still in the theaters. For some reason, I
remember it being a comedy. If you recall, it is anything but a
comedy. Very, very depressing. From that point on, I decided to
revisit my adolescent movie favorites only when wife was not around.
(Of course, she *did* make me sit through "Brigadoon".)

I have done this. Very interesting. There are a lot of similarities
in the timing of the music and the movie. The two that stood out for
me was the tornado scene playing perfectly in sync with "The Great Gig
In The Sky", the other is the moment that Dorothy opens the door into
Oz (when the movie switches from B&W to color) that is the very moment
when the song "Money" starts. There are a lot of other, less obvious
synchs. If you want to try this, there is web page that give
information about this (and supposedly other movie/music combinations)
at this address:

I'm responding to a few people here at once
I haven't done the PF CD to TWOO but a friend did and she said it's just eerie!
Also I forgot to list Forrest Gump...cried through the whole thing! the book
was weird though...not at all like the movie. A good thing! LOL! The movie's
much better - how often does that happen?.
My sister also hated Evita. But her beef was that she didn't know it was going
to be all music and was disappointed. But she sure was surprised at how well
Madonna sang. Who the hell can dislike a movie with Antonio Banderas in it???
I just loved it.
I have fond memories of driving to Atlanta last year, I had the Evita
soundtrack blasting all the way! Yes, I played some Zep and Tull too but mostly
Evita, it was great driving music!
Yep, Desperately Seeking Susan is a great film! Tons of fun! I have the book
too, good also!

I've heard the theory and know some folks who swear it's true but I've never
seen it demonstrated. Alas, I will never know as I have taken a solemn vow
never to watch The Wizard Of Oz. The tiny snips I have seen (by accident)
did not interest me at all.
I have also taken this vow for Titanic.

Strange as it may seem, I am not trying to stump the group with these
lyric/verse/movie/prose quotes. Generally speaking, they are relevant
to the topic. Admittedly, sometimes by a way that only I can discern.
A lot of times the topic will remind me of an era, place, moment,
event, etc. and the line will pop into my head. Sometimes just the
composer, and then I would think of (or reference) a line that might
be relevant.
It is kind of fun to have people guess, but I would gladly provide the
source if asked. Why don't I just provide the source when I type the
message? Sometimes the source is a little embarrassing. (Remember
the Cowsills that I quoted a few months back?) And sometimes the line
and the composer do not always go hand-in-hand. (ie. the line might
conjure up a certain image, but knowing who wrote it might destroy
that image.)
Most of the time, they get ignored. But then, they are probably more
for my enjoyment than anyone else. I'm one of those strange ones that
like to kick over the boxes in the corner of my mind just to see
what's in them. I have always been intrigued by what gets remembered
versus what gets forgotten. But then, I have that kind of time on my
hands.
I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering and contributing to this
newsgroup. It is prove positive that a man (or woman) in never just
one thing.

Yes, they certainly would--and we all know who they are! Actually, I must
give credit where it is due, to Christie for having mentioned the term
"crotch-cam" in another post a while back.

Ah-hah! I'm not going to tell you; you have to keep your eyes peeled. The
deal is that some parts of the concert sequences were actually reshot on a
soundstage in England, sometime later (more than a year?)--the editors
found they didn't have enough coverage during all the songs, even though
three nights at MSG had been filmed. In the meantime, Robert Plant had had
his teeth done. The scene during the prologue (when the messenger brings
Plant the tour dates and he's with his wife + kids by the stream) and the
fantasy sequence were also shot around that time.

12 Monkeys woooiiiiiiiiii... I watched this movie in a trance and it
kicked my Finnish white butt. Director Terry Gilliam is really taking these
totally weird psychotic dream trips into a new dimension of madness. The
Whole atmosphere in the movie is something that I can totally relate to,
because of the recent *happenings* in my personal life. It's melancholic,
pure horror and total madness. If you still haven't seen this gem, move your
butt and rent it!
Starring: Brad"brat" Pitt, Madeleine Stowe[I like her...uh face and the rest
of her also] and Bruce"Die Hard"Willis

Face Off KABOOOM! Now this is what I want from the action
movies...It's intelligent and the actors really are smokin' with this one.
John Travolta and Nicholas Cage are very good in their roles. Director is
the master of action: John Woo himself so do yourself a favour and watch it!
Brilliant stuff, propably the best action movie since John Woo's Killer.
my points: 10+
L.A. Confidental It's a tough movie... what can I say but it's a true
masterpiece, full of suprises and brilliant performances by: Kevin Spacey[my
favourite], Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger[she was suprisingly good] and Danny
DeVito.
my points: 10+
A Few Dollars More This is my all-time favourite western movie along
with "The Wild Bunch" and "Fistful Of Dynamite/Duck You Sucker!" And yes,
it's a spaghetti western. In my opinnion Lee Van Cleef should have deserved
an Oscar for his role in this classic. Ennio Morricone's music is
unbelievable good. The Director Sergio Leone was totally inspired by
Morricone's music and it really shows in the whole movie. This was a typical
situation when those two worked together. First Ennio wrote the soundtrack
and then Sergio Leone tried to give it a go and did his job. Fantastic
stuff, it's violent[of course], tragical and funny.
my points: 10+ soundtrack: 10+
First Blood Well, Sylvester Stallone ain't my favourite actor,
but this first Rambo was a total *killer*. John Rambo is your worst
nightmare, so don't you piss him off! It's a classic that produced a boost
in the whole action movie genre in the early 80'. I was just a kid when I
saw it, but I loved the every minute of it.

Btw, I heard from an occasional contributor to this ng (who may well wish
to remain incognito, at least as far as this particular thread is
concerned) that the drinking game works extremely well. The contributor
apparently didn't get past the bearded dude who sticks his tongue out,
though.
So there you go, folks, the Official TSRTS Drinking Game has now been

Terminator 2!!! That's a good one! I never watch violent movies, never!
Everybody kept telling me how great the special effects were and I still put
off seeing it especially since I'd seen the first one on TV a long time ago and
was so put off by it.
Then my sister saw T2 and promised me that the violence was not gory and even
someone as faint-hearted as me would like it! She told me the special effects
would make up for any of the violence. She was right!!! Great movie!
The best part was that I had put off seeing this movie for so long that my
friend and I were the only ones in the theater! Just the 2 of us and Ahnold! We
had a blast! Kept shouting instructions to the characters (none of them heeded
our advice needless to say...) and just had the best time!

I usually am the *only* one who comments on Alembic's quotes so I left

Missed this one or thought that you folks the other side of the Atlantic

Anyway, we've already been there and done it in the "Thanks to Zep I'm Deaf"

You know, I can definitely picture Robert as a Shakespearean tragic figure.

Very good! I kind of ran out of ideas to do with Shakespeare/Zep, at
least at the moment, though.
Unless you'll tolerate "...you know by night I'm gonna *Shake* 'em on
down"!

You really don't know the Zep song from which I took those lyrics?!
That's from "Custard Pie" ("Put on your nightshirt, and your morning
gown/Cause you know by night I'm gonna shake 'em on down").
Think the Bard of Avon would have appreciated that?

Come to think about it, WS was supposed to be Rosie Both Ways as they say.

Sure, plus there's a "shake 'em on down" in Hats Off to Roy Harper... I
thought you'd taken a quote from Shakespeare... and now I'm doing a major
DUUUHHHH, for all to see, as I finally realize that it was a pun involving
"shake."

Probably! I think he would've liked a lot of Plant's lyrics; Rain Song,
for example.

Nope, I couldn't come up with more Shakespeare, so that "Shake" play
on words had to suffice!

Methinks Tony needs to come forth with the Elizabethan version of the
"National Enquirer" or The "Avon Post" that spillethed *that* little
gem! (I sure hadn't heard that rumor about Willie S before--can you
tell us more?)

I thought everybody knew that the Dark Lady in the sonnets was thought to be

Haven't been able to think of one single Zep-related ws line. I've been
reciting whole chunks of Macbeth for days. Michael, you've got me there.
And Christie, I still want to know if it's you or Michael in the

Wasn't aware of that, Tony! I've heard the theory that the Works were
actually written by Francis Bacon... and recently heard that some obscure
Elizabethan play has just been "officially" attributed to Shakespeare, and
will soon be staged by a company in Halifax, Nova Scotia...

Macbeth was always my favorite...
"Is this a Les Paul that I see before me,
the headstock toward my hand?"
I'll see if I can come up with any over the weekend.

It's an extra-large and we were sharing it.

I've heard the same postulations. (Let's not do "6 degrees of
*Francis* Bacon"!) Hmmm...Francis....Franc(e)s....?!

Okay, Macbeth: "Out! Out, damned Jonesey!"

EEK! Well, the *safe* answer would have been that Michael got the
nightshirt and I the morning gown--but exactly where any of that
leaves *Robert* (wanting to "shake 'em on down") seems to be the
subject of another thread *entirely*...!

and Juliet... It's right up his alley, sort of a bustle in your hedgerow,
spring clean for the May Queen sort of thing.
I can't think of any direct Shakespearian references from Zep lyrics off hand.
But there are some great Shakespeare verses that would fit right in.
How's this for a description of a Page-Plant show?
"...that I might see
But such another man!...
His legs bestrid the ocean, his rear'd arm
Crested the world; his voice was propertied
As all the tuned spheres, and that to friends;
But when he meant to quail and shake the orb
He was as rattling thunder...."
(Antony and Cleopatra, V.ii)
Cool, eh? Can't you see Jimmy waving his bow at the theremin, "his rear'd arm
cresting the world," and Plant "quailing and shaking the orb [the world] as
rattling thunder"? Talk about shake 'em on down!
I'll have to look at Achilles' Last Stand once more to see if there are
Shakespeare quotes or references--somehow it seems like one that would be
appropriate.
Gotta go. Parting is such sweet sorrow!

PS: BTW, in terms of Shakespeare on film, the Roman Polanksi version of
Macbeth *rocks*! Far and away the best Shakespeare on film. Highly
recommended! Scary witches, hallucinatory drugs, naked sleepwalking queen,
bleak Scottish landscapes, moving shrubbery, bloody ghosts at dinner (more
shakin': "Shake not thy gory locks at me!"), sword fu, severed heads, a 10 on
the gore meter, as Joe Bob Briggs would say.

Very, very cool, Linda! Even has "the ocean" in it!
Actually, things within Shak. that could be related to Zep, rather than
the other way around, is what I had in mind. I had been truant regarding
my own promise to look through some plays for Zep-related stuff, so I'm
glad someone picked up the thread.
