A little bit more PG than Ash's deep dicking thread - what are your top 5 favourite movies?

You may have liked Police Acadamy 1-5 the best (6 just plain sucked) - but try to vary the genres - and even provide some rationale for your responses. Give us all a bit of an insight oh why you like these films.

Maybe we can pool the results and have an SAU DVD night...

Anyhoo:

1. Aliens - Sci Fi

The movie that taught me to hate Paul Riser. A timeless classic of the space hero vs space monster story. A-grade acting from B-grade stars. The last great sci-fi adventure to be made with sets rather then green-screen CGI - thus giving it's endeering realism and the fact it is still watchable 18-years from its release. Ripley!

2. North by Northwest - Classic Thriller

Hitchc*ck at his finest. Funny, glamorous and exciting - with all the class of the 60's. Cary Grant is excellent as the accidental-hero. Always keen to mak the chicks, and stop for a dry martini. Fantasitc chase down Mt Rushmore - and that Frank Lloyd Wright house... mmmm.

3. American Psycho - Thriller/Arthouse

Every cinematographic element of this film is flawless. A good 'thinking' film - very dark humor lets you look past the implied violence for a more interesting story. Christian Bale is the best 'love to hate' character - and the business card scene always cracks me up.

4. A Life Less Ordinary - Romantic/Comedy

Under-rated. Bizzare 'angels on earth' love story - with awsome acting/dialogue from everyone involved. Top soundtrack too - Karaoke scene proves Cameron Diaz can't sing for sh*t :D

5. Akira - Animation

Manga benchmark. Fantasic animation, cool characters - and a bizarre WTF story that could never make it in the live-action world. The 'remastered' version is even better with full 5.1 audio.

Haha - top stuff!

I bought that on DVD last week - I hadn't seen it since 1988 or so. Jack Burton still rocks as a suburban hero.

My brother and I used to watch it at least twice a week - in fact, I think it was the first movie we 'pirated' with mum's VCR and granny's VCR and some stolen BNC cables. Ah - memories.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
