John Wayne riding a horse with the reins in his mouth, shooting (and pumping) a rifle in one hand, and a revolver in the other, in True Grit.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm actually shocked. Shocked I say! It's such a Hec film.
Me too. Such a great movie. Terrance Stamp is awesome.
Lee Marvin in The Dirty Dozen.
I'll see that, and raise you Lee Marvin in Point Blank.
Also, The Killers (which also happens to have Ronald Regan's last film role, as the white-collar/gangster villain).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Even I've seen The Limey! I do love Soderburgh.

Shaft! But it's hard to pick a scene...I think they all count.

Lee Marvin in Point Blank.
That's what I was thinking.
Bronson as Harmonica in the opening scene of Once Upon A Time In The West brings a trainload of iconic badassery, too.

Fucking The Limey. Movie makes me slightly paranoid.
But, yeah, total bad ass.

Pun intended I assume?
That movie has a whole slew of iconic badass picture poses.
Lee Marvin in Point Blank.
Very true. Awesome flick. I saw this as part of my moving-to-SF series and still remember suggesting we watch it and my housemate thinking I meant Point Break. (Which is awesome for other reasons.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Woah.

Because books.
After 150 years, you’re bound to be a little stiff.
Bwah! That is pretty uncanny, though. The first two pictures alone are amazing.
