My youngest lad is a bit of a film buff. He is just finalising the set up of a home cinema with film projector, screen, surround sound the lot.
We've been discussing what would make a suitable film on DVD for the gala opening.
Only two key attributes, which are:
1) Some good action
2) Humour
So far the favourite is summat from the Indiana Jones series.
I'm providing the beer, wine, crisps, popcorn and prawn crackers.
Any suggestions, with some rationale, will be gratefully considered. Might even be a prize for a winner.
Hi Tune lad
Had you thought about The Mask? Great effects and You just need to be a Jim Carrey fan (no problem in the mask - its just that every role since has been a reprise of the mask!).
And the added bonus (if you haven't seen it already) is that there is a follow up new release soon. Relax - it aint got JC in it this time.
P2P
How old is your son, Tune?

as i sell those surround 5.1 cinema dvd players , the best sound comes from star wars , the pod race is brill, or another is pearl harbour, planes coming from all sides, or if he soppy then titanic, water coming from the back of you
It would have to Raiders of the Lost Ark or Superman the Movie!!
Geez, thanks for all the goodies so far - I can see this turning into a Cannes Film Festival.
So far we've had:
The Mask
Eurotrip
Aliens
Men in Black
Die Hard
Die Hard II
Die Hard with a Vengeance
Star Wars
Pearl Harbour
Titanic
Superman the Movie
Raiders of the Lost ark
Any more? Greedy bastard aren't I?
if you want something childish then you can't beat American pie.... class...

It'd have to be Back To The Future for me. It's stood the test of time magnificently.
Having said that, I premiered our home cinema setup with Goodfellas followed by The Shawshank Redemption. The score of the latter makes the hair on my nick stand on end.
Watched Van Helsing at the weekend - excellent film and very 'tongue in cheek' in parts...
You can't beat Oceans 11 a cracker of a film - the latest version that is.
Or, star wars - is great on a big screen with the surround sound.
Hmmmm
Had me thinking this one....
I think starwars...or at least one of them would be a good one for the premier...it's got it all really...the action...the sound....the princess :twisted:
But gone in 60 seconds would also be pretty good......the action, the cars, the sound....the Jolie :rascal:
Geez thanks everybody - you're a wonderful collection of people. I'll let you know when I've put it to the 'Committee'.
) How did you guess that Jim Carrey gets on my tits. Actually he was very good in the Mask and The Truman Show but beyond that sheesh!
:wink: :wink:
.................. my next post I think, has got to be something that will make me look slightly more dazzling, and interesting :?
