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.

You leave JACK BURTON alone!!!

similar story with me and my bro, we used to watch BTinLC and TOP GUN nearly every day after high school back in the late 80's :D

Everytime we see each other we are qouting something outta these flicks like "i'm not leaving my wingman" "you can be my wingman anytime" "you know what old Jack Burton used to say at a time like this..." etc hilarious ;)

Also like just about all Bruce Lee movies but watch them more for his Martial Art skills - some of the plots are pretty ordinary... have Enter the Dragon and some others on DVD.

Hey James,

I've had em for sometime now. I couldn't find em in AU so I had to buy them from CA.

Gerald has em at the mo but I need to get em back so I can reminise the wonderful memories.

"You are gonna take the shortcut to the Interstate ain't ya"

"If you're gonna be a bear....be a GRIZZLY (or in his case grisleah)!!!" as the GMC truck suddenly leaves the road and heads into the forest after leaving the start line.

Fear of a Black Hat  

CB4

These are two of my favourite flicks as well, also "the Great White Hype" is good too, "You aint my daddy...are you?"

One Flew of the coockoo's Nest is great value, also i cant believe noone here has mentioned Gumball Rally... "Honk if your Horny!!" ... or American Graffiti, some old school cool Yank movies with car themes.

At the other end of the spectrum is a DVD i got from Xmas from a relative that knows i like cars, its called RPM, the only reason it didnt get turned off is because i lived in hope there would be some car fottage worth watching... i was wrong.

No Particular order....

Apocalypse Now - I love the smell of Napalm in the morning

Swingers - You're so money and you don't even know it

Do the Right thing - and all Spike Lee Films

Shawshank - some birds you just can't cage

The Godfather - all of them

All Aussie Flicks - 'cause we gotta support them!

Dad used to have a video shop so it could take me weeks to think about this but I'll give it a go:

1. The Matrix (by far and away the best of the 3)

2. Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels (pisser!)

3. Stand By Me ("Why did you bring a comb? You dont even have hair!")

4. History of the World Part I/Blazing Saddles (I love Mel Brooks)

5. Terminator/Predator (My fav Arnie flicks)

6. son of rajab of the Ring Trilogy (I know its 5 fav movies but certainly worthy of a mention)

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
