Kelly's Heroes
A Bridge Too Far
Where Eagles Dare
The Guns of Navarone
Duel (Steven Spielberg's 1st film)
No Way Out (unless someone has already spoiled the ending for you)
Vanishing Point (both versions)
Repo Man

Only the first two.

The Hitcher (original with Rutger Hauer)
History of the World by Mel Brooks
Cannonball Run
Smokey and the Bandit
Poltergeist
American Werewolf in London
The Shining
Amityville Horror (original)
Rosemary's Baby
The Omen (the original)
Event Horizon

Saw all of those, except maybe no The Hitcher. Sounds familiar and was out around the time I absorbed anything that was on HBO, Showtime, or The Movie Channel. I will never watch Amityville, Rosemary's or The Omen ever again. You can add The Exorcist to that list, too. I saw Event Horizon in the movies. It was pretty boss. Just watched it again on Netflix with my daughter a few months back. She dug it, too.

Oooooo... just re-watched Rosemary's Baby on the plane home. Great flick.

Dark Star
Grosse Pointe Blank

Never saw Dark Star. Grosse Pointe Blank is one of my all time favorite movies. My GF turned me on to it. Big John Cusack fan.

I quite literally spend almost every waking moment that I don't spend working sitting at this computer. I don't watch tv. Unless it's live sports. And I'm seriously considering ditching my cable and getting an Amazon Fire and putting Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and HBO Now on it. Saves me $60 a month that way and I can watch my show commercial free.

Bison · January 25, 2016, 09:25:22 PM

I don't have cable.

MetalDog · January 25, 2016, 09:26:07 PM

What do you use, AppleTV? Amazon Fire?

Bison · January 25, 2016, 09:34:34 PM

Apple TV and the PS3 to stream Netflix and such. If I decide to go with the Xbox One I might consider subbing to slingtv for a month just to check it out.

PS3...

Bison needs to convince Household6 that he needs to keep his PS3 for it's amazing treasure-trove of Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Youtube content. Hopefully she doesn't know if the PS4/Xbox Boner have similar wonders to give.

I have a PS3. I like Sony. I don't like Apple, hence, the desire for the Fire. Heard about slingtv. What do you like about it?

It's basically an ala carte tv package. I think the basic package is like $20 for 20 channels and then it's $5 for add on packages like an extended sports package. The basic comes with ESPN/ESPN 2, History/History 2 and AMC for sure, which are basically the only channels I'd want. HBO Go is exclusive to Apple TV irrc, but frankly HBO can go suck an egg as far as I'm concerned. I'd honestly just get the MLB networks season package, but local markets are blacked out, so no Royals if I go that way.

Glengarry Glen Ross
Snatch
Tombstone
Unforgiven
3:10 to Yuma
Wolf of Wall Street
Raging Bull
Taxi Driver

I think if the wife wasn't so used to Apple products, I'd have just gone with a Roku stick and been done with it.

Totally ashamed on this list. Tombstone is the only one I saw :-[

Bison · January 25, 2016, 10:38:03 PM

Unforgiven is good.

HBO Now is available on all of them I think. Regardless, I'd have to have HBO if the GF is ever here. It's really the only thing she watches. I'm really thinking about getting Sirius/XM for the MLB channel.

Most of the MLB teams you can stream the local radio broadcasts over the internet. I just listen to the Royals games on the local AM station and watch a game every week or two at the local sports joint. Grab a burger and an iced tea and hang out for a couple of hours.
