The dignified Dalmatian, dogdom's citizen of the world, is famed for his spotted coat and unique job description. During their long history, these "coach dogs" have accompanied the horse-drawn rigs of nobles, gypsies, and firefighters. The Dalmatian's delightful, eye-catching spots of black or liver adorn one of the most distinctive coats in the animal kingdom. Beneath the spots is a graceful, elegantly proportioned trotting dog standing between 19 and 23 inches at the shoulder. Dals are muscular, built to go the distance; the powerful hindquarters provide the drive behind the smooth, effortless gait. The Dal was originally bred to guard horses and coaches, and some of the old protective instinct remains. Reserved and dignified, Dals can be aloof with strangers and are dependable watchdogs. With their preferred humans, Dals are bright, loyal, and loving house dogs. They are strong, active athletes with great stamina'¿a wonderful partner for runners and hikers.Owning a dog is not just a privilege; it’s a responsibility. They depend on us for, at minimum, food and shelter, and deserve much more. When you take a dog into your life, you need to understand the commitment that dog ownership entails.If your Dalmatian came from a reputable breeder, you will have a record of genetic health testing done on the parents. Deafness is present in the breed, and responsible breeders will have had the parents tested and will have entire litters tested to be certain that all can hear. A unilaterally hearing dog (deaf in one ear) can usually lead a fairly normal life; a bilaterally (both sides) deaf dog often cannot and will require special considerations. Kidney stones are also present in Dals. Your breeder or vet can tell you what you should feed to avoid the problem. Usually quite healthy, Dalmatians aren't picky eaters and don't require a lot of supplements to keep them looking fit.The Dalmatian's coat is a thing of beauty with its colored spots on a sparkling white background, and it doesn't take much work to keep it in good condition. Occasional baths and weekly brushing with a horsehair mitt or rubber curry comb to pull away dead hairs will keep the Dal looking his best. His nails should be trimmed at least monthly. Because his ears flop down, they should be checked regularly'¿your breeder and your veterinarian can suggest a good routine and cleaning materials, and will show you how to care for them.

Umm,,wrong thread?

Ecclectic and obscure. Some I've never seen or heard of and I've look at lists and studied classics for years, but you threw in some staples of normal lists. But hardly anybody's heard of Thunderbolt & Lightfoot where Clint plays a preacher on the lamb. Good little film, but top ten material? One of the few films The director of The Deer Hunter ever made.

5. Once Upon A Time In The West

Hah - I recommended this to you in the Western thread awhile back. Seems like it haunted you as much as it did me. It is about the best one I've seen and quite irrelevant in the States. Everybody knows TGTBTU, but not Leone's last western. It is big in Europe though.

Totally down w/ The Big Sleep possibly the best film noir pic ever. I had to take notes last time I watched it to keep track of the intricate plot. Kiss Me Deadly is my favorite though.

1. Star Wars - A New Hope.
2. Star Wars - Return of the Jedi.
3. Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back.
4. Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark.
5-7. The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
8. Indiana Jones - Last Crusade.
9. Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom.
10. Terminator 2.

Jedi over Empire? Seek help

Glad you didn't include Indi 4

by Pethead Mon Feb 06, 2023 3:17 pm

Gonna try not to overthink this. I’m leaving out kaiju films because they deserve their own category. Order doesn’t matter:

Bourne Trilogy
Predator
LotR Trilogy
Manhunter
Alien
Aliens
Casablanca
School of Rock
Twelve Angry Men
The Thing (1982)

by Pethead Mon Feb 06, 2023 3:18 pm

And the first Terminator is VASTLY superior to My Robot Dad, aka T2.

Empire Strikes Back is the most boring of the original three. In terms of plot and character development is is by far the most important part of the entire saga, but in terms of a stand-alone it's the one I watch the least.

Crystal Skull would probably make a top 20 (again, I don't get out much), but then, so would most of the other Star Wars movies.

by Pethead Mon Feb 06, 2023 6:28 pm

I wouldn’t say Empire is the most boring, but it’s the least narratively complete (by design). I can’t really pick a favorite SW movie of the original three. Depends on which one I just watched.

I’ll take this moment to say that I did, in fact, sign a petition to have the sequel abominations declared non-canon.

None of those films can compare to The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies. That's even got musical numbers!

The skits do not reflect my ranking system at all. I only judge it according to the movie and the riffs. I assure you it is very scientific and is a direct result of Dr. Forrester's experiments.

If we're going by riffs, then Laserblast has to be number 1
