Escape From New York, Colors, West Side Story...
The Godfather, Goodfellas, The Departed, Kill the Irishman...


PS
New Jack City is a special movie. Why?

It has this scene in it.

HereForTheBeer: I think Sargon is talking about the US's southern neighbor.
Indeed so. I was talking about Mexico but I guess I should have written it differently. By the "(the US)" in the "like your (the US) neighbor to the south" I was trying to make clear that I was talking about the southern neighbor of the US and not the southern neighbor of Australia (whatever that would be). I guess the making clear thing wasn't exactly a success.

I forgot Wesley Snipes was in that movie. Before Blade and his countless other movies.

jjsimp: Australia is just about as fucked up as our country is. In some respects they are even worse. Austria on the other hand, has the universal healthcare you were probably thinking of.

Sargon: Indeed I was talking about Mexico.
Ah, yes after rereading you comment it's obvious you were referring to Me-hico.

Sargon: I was going to make a snarky comment about how it comes with the English language, but then I remembered Canada and New Zealand. Well at least it could be worse. You don't have to deal with endemic corruption and ultra-violent criminal gangs taking control over whole cities like your (the US) neighbor to the south.
Umm.. Your WRONG about that! Australia has MAJOR CRIME SYNDICATES!

I'm jumping in here late so forgive me but I couldn't help but notice the mention of "Escape from New York". 90% of that movie was filmed in my home town of St. Louis and the sad fact is the reason Carpenter chose St. Louis is because he didn't need to spend any money on "post-apocalyptic" set design. Yes they have cleaned it up since (I actually almost had a job in the building that was The Duke's H.Q.) but ultimately you can't polish a turd. :D

Thank god for the Cardinals and Chuck Berry or it really would have absolutely NO redeeming qualities.

I know how your life is when it comes to expenses because where I live is insanely overpriced for America because I live really close to one of the biggest cities in the USA. Here, a piece of shit 1 bedroom apartment with rats will cost you around $1000 a month to rent it. And the food prices here are insane too. $4 for a little bit of milk. This winter, I have no heat because it's too expensive here.

PS
The best way to deal with rats is owning a cat. Rats are not stupid. If a cat lives in the house, the rats will move to another house.

You just need this guy back and maybe this guy to take care of your roving gangs across the wastelands. You can have 'em both back, just send your sexiest women this way.
I used to think Australia is a nice country due to watching a lot of Australian TV shows like H2O. All the people in them live in nice houses, all the girls in them are super hot and everyone seems so happy. But I guess, it's all bullshit like the stuff that comes out of Hollywood. They only show how rich people live...

I guess a little early to make it in Detroit. Maybe, with a remake they'll have prime post-apocalyptic filming conditions in Detroit....if the film crew can make it out of their alive.

Yep, Detroit would be perfect for a remake. I've read some time ago, some people want to turn Detroit into a Zombie Apocalypse theme park because then they only need to spend money on actors to play as Zombies...
