hopper has played the same charachter in soooo many of the movies he's done, but not all of them. if you are a fan of his, check out his filmography on the IMDB.
nearly 200 films!!! he has done some real classics, like "sons of katy elder" with john wayne, and some real stinkers, like "space truckin"

Remember this?

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the 'Music' topic or here in the 'Movies'. It works both ways if all you're ever intersted in is a "YouTube-Quick-Fix".

Deliverance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esl2NNOtHQE

That is the 'Dueling banjos' scene.

"Widely acclaimed as a landmark film, Deliverance is the story of four suburban professional men from Atlanta on a weekend canoe and camping trip. The film is noted for the memorable music scene near the beginning that sets the tone for what lies ahead: a trip into unknown and potentially dangerous territory. In the scene, set at a rural gas station, character Drew Ballinger plays the instrumental "Dueling Banjos" on his guitar with a mentally-challenged hillbilly youth named Lonnie (implied as being an inbred albino in the novel, portrayed by Billy Redden in the film). The boy eventually outplays Drew with his banjo. The song won the 1974 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance.

The film was selected by the New York Times as one of "The Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made," whilst the viewers of Channel 4 in the United Kingdom voted it 45 in a list of The 100 Greatest Films."

Everybody seems to be hooked on 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Plastic Housewives' -- what's the world coming to?
How about watching a classic movie for a change?

Amazing what a decent director and imaginative composer can create. Sadly the YouTube clip doesn't do the musical score which is quite haunting any justice. If you would like to know what it really is supposed to sound like, wrap your ears around this:

Seeing that not much is happening in the sky we might as well go to the movies.

These two guys are on a mission from God.

The Blues Brothers

Here's a trailer for those who haven't seen it:

This is what happened in the tunnel when Jake's Ex catches up with the brothers thirsting for revenge:

Definetly the car chase...I think the movie still holds the record for the most amount of cars wrecked in a movie

The Mission

A brilliant flick based on events surrounding the Treaty of Madrid in 1750, in which Spain ceded part of Jesuit Paraguay to Portugal.
Very touching in many ways and thought provoking. What were those Popes and Bishops thinking?? Those who have read history will easily be able to relate to the story.
The musical score is by the great Ennio Morricone. There is a short synopsis here at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mission_(film)

Connoisseurs of good film making will not go past this for many reasons. I wasn't sure which YouTube clip to pick, so here's a short one for the impatient -- for the patient there are many more... or, you could just watch the whole movie Very Happy

For me, the most moving scene in the movie has always been where the Chief of the natives asks the Cardinal whether God had changed his mind...

Great flick Tailhook,I've seen it quite a few times already,found it very realistic, and even shed a tear there the first time I watched it.
But before I get a bit too soppy, I thought this movie might add a mention,
But mostly for the music - still gives me goose bumps when I hear it

You've made my day warlord, thanks for bringing up this movie. The Last of the Mohicans Exclamation

Never seen it and forgotten of its existence. Of course read the first stories in comic books and later the original by Fenimore Cooper. A classic in the true sense. I'll definitely get the DVD, but first I'll read the book again. Read

I'll be looking forward to the musical score by Randy Edelman -- thanks for an unexpected surprise Cheers!

I forgot all about this little gem Very Happy

, it did'nt have a big cinema release or much coverage but is an absolute belter of a movie that twists and turns everywhere and a shocking surprise in the middle

Definately not for those under 18.
