1. He's a year older than me

Well, a year and one day, I watched him from Disney onward, always one of my favorites.

I'll take "The Thing"

First watched on a Bering Sea Crab Boat, doing oil charters in 1984, at night during a storm on wheel watch with the other two crew members asleep.

I always loved the original in B/W and requested the movie off a list from the drilling rigs collection.

I didn't know what I was getting

So I watched the scariest movie I'd ever seen at night in a storm with the boat pitching and rolling and windy as hell.


Now that was an intense viewing experience.

2. "Captian Ron"

[flotsam]

3. Overboard

Very good romantic comedy with Goldie Hawn.

[DawgHouse]

4. Thats a good one.❤️

[red dog 1]

7. So which one do I take down to make room for it?

(I only get 10 spots to fill)

[flotsam]

9. Entirely your choice

I have no problem with the post-I guess I'm just an "other" voter...

[red dog 1]

10. Well, the story looks very good, but I'm not taking down Silkwood...

Let's see if anyone else "votes" for it

[red dog 1]

11. I'm surprised that neither "Miracle" nor "Elvis" has any votes so far

Miracle is the story of the underdog US Men's Hockey team that defeated the Russian Men's Hockey team in the 1980 Winter Olympics to win a spot in the championship game with Finland,
(who they went on to defeat 4-2 to win the Gold medal)

Russell won an Emmy for his portrayal of Elvis.


UPDATE:3:30 PM
Elvis got a vote!

[DawgHouse]

5. Gotta go with my childhood favorite

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. 😝❤️

[JDC]

6. Any of the Disney "Boy" movies

Overboard probably as an adult star. My ex wife would say Tequila Sunrise.

[Glorfindel]

8. Hard to choose between "Tombstone" and "Stargate," but I went with the latter

Kurt Russell at his best, and a really good movie to boot.

[Dave Starsky]

12. Used Cars should be on this list.

One of the funniest damn movies ever made.

"A hundred bucks never killed anybody!"

[yardwork]

13. No Toby, the phillips screwdriver!

[Dave Starsky]

16. My favorite Toby scene.

[red dog 1]

19. I only get 10 poll choice slots to use, and 9 of them have at least 1 vote

The only one up there with zero votes is "Miracle"

I could put "Used Cars" up there in place of "Miracle"....Let's see if it gets any more mentions.

It does sound like a very good movie.
(I'm a huge fan of Jack Warden)

20. It's truly hilarious. Kurt Russell at his comedy best.

One of those classics that you end up quoting over and over again.

[red dog 1]

22. Since "Miracle" still has zero votes, I'll replace it with "Used Cars"

so you can vote for it now

[mockmonkey]

21. Another vote for Used Cars. nt

[red dog 1]

23. "Used Cars" is now a poll option, so you can vote for it now

[Initech]

14. Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 not on the list?

[red dog 1]

18. Kurt Russell made more than 50 movies, but I only have 10 slots to use in the poll

I think the only poll choice left with zero votes is "Miracle"..but i'm reluctant to replace it with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 based only on one person's recommendation.

I'm sure it's a good film, Rotten Tomatoes gave it an approval rating of 83%.& most of the critics gave it positive reviews.

Let's see if anyone else wants it on the list.

[DFW]

15. Call me Snake

Although Big Trouble In Little China was really tied for fun escapism.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. Stuntman Mike!

Deathproof!
