QoL- We like Movies- what is your favorite

Okay I think we all like movies. However there are a few that you would rather watch especially before movies on demand. We also like quotes and soundtracks from them. But for this QoL hubby picked his favorites (I limited him to two, don’t want to go OVERBOARD)😆.

There’s a little more to these movies for him too- besides liking the movie he has good memories. (Sorry about the picture placement)

The first one is TWISTER. Every time this on comes on the first words out of his mouth- we got cows. He likes this movie so much he made sure we went to the “Twister...Ride it Out” at Universal Studios.

The second one is TOMBSTONE (the one with Val Kilmer). There’s more than a few quotes he likes from the movie but he also was on a writing board “role playing “ DOC HOLIDAY.

Yay QoL, a topic where I can participate.

Oh gosh, I burst out laughing. My ex LOVED Twister and after 20 times, I came to agree. It is a silly movie to love, but hey! love is love. I think repetition is key to that one.

I love Mon Oncle a very old French delight (also called My Uncle). More in the sweet genre. Writing from a visit w 3 grandchildren in Finland-> QoL big time, despite the weather now!

The comic genius Jacques Tati was born Taticheff, descended from a noble Russian family.

Haven’t seen Scent of a woman but MMMMW is a classic bit of fun.

I like Midnight Cowboy. Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) when at a big party is caught stealing cold cuts from a buffet and the host says “the food is free. You don’t have to steal it” Ratso responds “well, if it’s free, I’m not stealing it” as he continues to load up his pockets.

Great clip from the movie. I didn’t know the scene wasn’t supposed to be in the movie. Thanks for info.

Yes. The taxi wasn’t supposed to be there, Hoffman reacted to it and the director saw it was good and kept it.

I have a lot of favourite films, but I will restrict myself to two.

Goodfellas Funny, nasty, etc, all in one film, a great cast and a great director.

Apocalypse Now! Insane film with a great director, cast and soundtrack.

Cannery Row (1982). Words of Steinbeck, narrated by John Huston. Debra Winger as an incompetent prostitute and Nick Nolte as a failed marine biologist/baseball pitcher. Music perfectly melded to the action. Many of the scenes are too funny for words.

Enjoy! There are also several unforgettable characters, including M. Emmet Walsh as Mack and Audra Lindley as Fauna.

You will notice the QOL (quality of life) letters. The folks here add this notation to any posts they wish to share that aren't specific to dealing with PCa. You can ignore these if you wish. Many find these encouraging and refreshing in light of the hard journey we are all on.

Hi, I see that you have only recently joined the community. I too was confused about QoL posts. After I watched and read more here I understood the need of these posts. It helps bind us together and also relieves a little bit of the stress we are all under. Feel free to continue chatting with us. That way we can understand what you’re going through too.

To the Kal,

I guess you forgot when you were the change master at the front door... changing $10.00 dollar bills for four $2.00 bills. I quickly used mine up, got any left? Their collector's items now..... Oh what the Hammer doesn't know .... poor woman....(or maybe it's better that she doesn't know.... I won't tell, but I do want that $2.00 "interest" you kept for yourself).......

Oh … sorry but you’ll have to see “ the hammer “ about any cash flow. She doesn’t allow me to have money any more, I keep buying “ Pokémon “ cards and live lobsters from the Asian market …. when I get any.

She’ll be right over as soon as she gets loaded ( not booze, guns - bullets yayay yayayay ).

If you get any money from her ( extremely unlikely), you have to split it with me 50-50 for referrals.

to Kal,

What I'm about to write should be kept secret forever between us. Pinky swear? Ok I'll accept a facsimile of your pinky....but let go of my pinky.....Here goes:

Hammer sent me a Morse code telegraph transmission (we know you can read those dots and dashes so she keyed them in Greek) where she asked me to sort of fix the brakes on you "pink go cart".... Get the picture yet? FIX MAN fix-em!!! Based on how good a job I do on your brakes she will turn over all your Pokemon cards to me. As far as your lobsters or crabs are concerned, I'll take the lobsters but I have my own crabs and don't need yours. She finally left me with this one question "Would I know which is the best tanning lotion to be used in Acapulco? " I refused to answer that question cause I don't want any hanky panky going on behind your back. One more thing she said she didn't want to pinky swear, but since her wish involved your brakes she preferred to have a middle finger swear. What did she mean by that? Aw never mind.....I think I figured it out.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Well...this is a fun post! Now we'll have to watch Twister again. It's been years! My husband's favorite is Pulp Fiction. I have to admit that dance scene with John Travolta and Uma Thurman still gets me. Mine is Christmas Vacation. I watch it every year while decorating my tree. Which I'll be doing next week. Crazy, I know. But we love our tree and look forward to seeing it every year. We get an ornament whenever we travel, so there's a lot of fun memories there.

Love reading everyone's favorite. Taking notes for that inevitable "what do you want to watch tonight".

to the yada yada yadifan,

Re: Your comment about your Christmas tree....

We got tired of decorating and Undecorating our Christmas tree every year, so after the holiday (around January 8th) we place it in the refrigerator next to the snowman.....

To be frank, it is tough finding the cream cheese sometimes....but generally it's near the lawn hollow plastic reindeers (you know the ones that keep blowing over).

Anyway let me be the first to wish you and the ex-boss a Merry Christmas....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

to MA et.al.

1. Paths of Glory: Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory is among the most powerful antiwar films ever made.

2. Hombre: Hombre is an end of an era western with a subtle political message about discrimination. The supporting actors and actresses play their roles splendidly.

To those who haven't watched these two films, you're in for a real treat. Let me know what you think.... (and I am or was a movie buff)....

Honorable mention (One flew .....)

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Never heard of it...... but will try to view it..... thanks for the reference....

BTW in the Army..... "A gun" is used for artillery (artillery piece). A hand gun is referred to as a pistol (or piece)....a rifle is a rifle.....

===================================================================

Funny ditty (nomenclature liberty taken however*) that we used to sing:

Soldiers pointing to their rifles singing "THIS IS MY RIFLE," (now pointing to their crotch) "THIS IS MY GUN*," (pointing back to their rifles), "THIS IS FOR SHOOTING" (now pointing back to their crotch) "AND THIS IS FOR FUN."

note: you can replace the word shooting to killing.

Good Luck, God Health and Good Humor.
