Awesome movie. I've just finished watching it on AMC. I don't know if anyone here on Massassi has seen it, but it was really good. 1986, Kirk Douglas & Burt Lancaster.
If you're not familiar with the premise, these two old guys who have just been in jail are released on parole. They're infamous for being the last people to rob an American train in the '50s. They get fed up with being pushed around and told what to do on parole, and so they go ahead and hijack another train, and crash it past the Mexican border.
Hilarious movie, perfect combination of action and humor. It was so funny to watch old guys beat up and outsmart these people who were a third their age, and look good while doing it. Some great one liners and quotes:
"I want to get a hundred of those coppers"
"There are only fifty."
"So, I'll shoot em all twice."
"Are you gay?"
"No, I just lost my job. I'm feeling miserable."
"I'm Peter Pan, I've come to take you to Never, Never Land." (funny in a modern context)![[http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]](http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif "http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif")
The last scene is priceless!
Anyway, maybe you don't think it's such a great movie (probably haven't heard of it) but I'd reccomend it for a good laugh.
