Re: Tell me about some more great movies starring Liam Neeson.

This also bears repeating. Bunch of great performances in this one, including Neeson, Jessica Lange, John Hurt, Brian Cox and especially Tim Roth.

^^^Anything below 60 or so^^^ usually means there is a good chance I won't like the film but you never know sometimes, as I love a few movies that are rated below 50 at the MRQE.

Was great in Darkman -- he carried both Rob Roy & Michael Collins (liked both when they came out).

He was pretending to lecture against the IRA but was actually one of them and planned on killing some diplomat.

Re: Tell me about some more great movies starring Liam Neeson.

LOL!^^^ Those were hilarious! Thanks!

Guys, I have only seen 3 of Liam Neeson's movies.... Taken, Batman Begins and Gangs of New York.
Would somebody tell me of 3 more MUST SEE Liam Neeson movies preferably ones that are out on blu-ray disc? I'd sure appreciate it!

Not to be rude but how bout you look at what has already been endorsed the most already (Rob Roy, Darkman and Schindler's List)?

Schindler's List alone should be seen regardless of who's acting in it.

Re: Tell me about some more great movies starring Liam Neeson.

I'd say Darkman and Schindler's List absolutely. Love, Actually is surprisingly good, too... though Bill Nighy steals the movie away from the large ensemble cast.

I liked Ethan Frome, but I am not sure it's that well regarded and I do like the book, which probably fuels my fondness.
Note: I am not recommending Ethan Frome.

Oh and the version of Les Miserables he is in is absolute shit. Avoid that one, surprised it has a higher RT score.

Wow, totally forgot about Ethan Frome and Michael Collins---I really liked both those movies. I mean they're not "Next of Kin" awesome, but they're pretty good.

He also had a significant role in one of the greatest video games ever made...

I hear ya, actually I forgot but I have seen Schindler's List sometime in the mid-ninties. It was a long time ago so I do owe that one another viewing sometime in the future. I wonder if/when that one will make it to BD?

As far as Darkman goes, I am surprised I had not looked into this one in the past because I see that Sam Raimi directed it! I have many of Sam Raimi's movies and my favorites are all of them! I suppose I had heard the movie name a few times over the years. Anyhow somehow I missed it and I am buying Darkman immediately!

HERE is a nice review on Amazon.





Thanks for the input everyone and have a good evening! :
