I mentioned it before a previous incarnation of this thread, but I'll do it again. Matewan! If you like guns, bluegrass and American history, it is a must see.

Here's another nod for _Matewan_.  It is a neglected gem.  People think times are tough now.  They have no idea.  Once upon a time Americans were literally dying to keep their jobs---even the worst job that could be had: Working in a coal mine.

Quite easily some of my favorite movie minutes and I concur with the exception of the Colonel and Private Joker:

"...Why don't you join the team and come on in for the big win."

There is so much good dialogue in that movie.

One of the best scenes was in the church with the 2 mine owner thugs in the back, and the young kid as the preacher knows that something is up but cannot act with the thugs there. So what does he do? He tells the most original, interesting and wildly hysterical version of the story of Joseph in Egypt as if it's gospel. The looks on the people's faces are great as first they wonder what he is talking about, then realizes he is warning them. That is priceless.

Great, slow moving, wonderful movie.

I realize this is a "Favorite Movie" thread but I thought I'd throw in here...we don't actually "GO" to movies much but we went out last night and saw the new Star Trek. I'm no trekkie by any means- I watched the tv show when I was a younger person and saw the movies- they were just ok. The spin off tv shows were just ok too.
BUT.....
If you liked the tv show or you have some nostalgia for it, this new Star Trek might just do it for you. The youngsters they got to play all of the old characters are great...at first I thought the Kirk guy was just a pretty boy, but he actually came through the movie nicely. The other characters are also well represented, and the guy who plays Dr. McCoy might as well be Deforest Kelly- he looks, acts, and sounds JUST like him.

All in all it's full of effects, LOTS of action, and by the end you feel like it's the old Star Trek back again.
