Favorite Mel Gibson movie?
 

Mel Gibson - Wikipedia

Really liked some of the Lethal Weapon movies as well as Braveheart, Hacksaw Ridge and the Mad Max ones.

He was very good in Gallipoli - Rotten Tomatoes.

very silly & am almost embarrased to admit, 'MacheteKills' . a small but memorable roll & looks like he had fun with it.

That was a fun one. I did a lot of damage to my lantana camera with my new machete but the damn invasive plant is still alive. Just a little aside. Lantana camara is one of the TOP 100 most invasive species in the world. Lantana camara - Wikipedia

wasn't it though!? i love Danny Trejo :loco:

Me too. He used to come up on my Facebook page a lot but not so much now. Seems like a very nice person as well.

a classic for sure

We Were Soldiers. The depiction of the battle was very close to the actual event, not too Hollywoodized.

His The Passion of the Christ was very hard to watch but am looking forward to his The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection - Rotten Tomatoes.

But will have to see how they can make the actor playing Christ look three days older when he in real life has aged about 20 years.

Jim Caviezel - Rotten Tomatoes

We were soldiers. Easy choice

1. Braveheart. I recall reading that Gibson brings a myth, not historical fact, to life in this movie. And that is certainly true. Any resemblance to historical fact seems almost coincidental. But the pageantry is out of this world!

2. The Patriot. Same reasons as above. His character was allegedly loosely based on the real Swamp Fox Francis Marion. I’d say VERY loosely.

3. We Were Soldiers. Critics actually praised this movie for it’s historical accuracy, which for a Gibson movie is unheard-of. Some of the scenes at home and on the base were a bit saccharine.

“The Year of Living Dangerously” — 1982. Also starred Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hunt who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in her role.

An Australian film based on a fictitious love affair set in Indonesia in 1965 during the overthrow of President Sukarno. The riveting story follows a group of foreign journalists in Jakarta on the eve of an attempted coup to oust Sukarno.

Absolutely none.

That is a really good one.

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior

Yeah! That one!

This has some good scenes. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - Wikipedia

Immortal Beloved 1994. His production company made the movie.

Liked Apocalypto and Mad Max series.

Tim - Mel Gibson movie
 

TIM - 1979 probably one of his first films

'The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly' was my favorite.

I recall that movie. He was very good in it.

Mel Gibson - Rotten Tomatoes

He's such a despicable person, that if I ever did like his movies, I wouldn't watch him now.... no matter what he's in. That said, I did enjoy the Lethal Weapon movies.

Will I agree with that. Some of his statements, actions, beliefs, etc., leave a lot to be desired but if I look at a great painting, book, play, etc., I rarely take into account what a miserable person might have created it. Some of these great artists are tortured souls. Friedrich Nietzsche - Wikipedia Nietzsche looks incredibly insane to me. And Van Gogh probably was. Vincent van Gogh - Wikipedia

Forever Young

I wish I knew how to block this type of post! To me, it is a useless on an information board.

The title of this site is "Talk of The Villages" , not Information of The Villages. No one is forced to read every thread on the forum, there are some that I don't read.

Here's a hint. If you feel motivated to head for your safe space after reading the first few words of a post...stop reading it.

Pretty simple, actually. No one here has the right to not be offended.

There is always the IGNORE list. Works well for me. Sometimes, for instance, I just ignore Mel Gibson's latest personal mess but still watch his movies.

Desperation Road (2023).
 

Desperation Road - Rotten Tomatoes

I will have to check out Mel Gibson's latest. Movie-- that is. Not mess.

Mel Gibson involved movies
 

Although not acted in - - - involved in: Certainly liked Apocalypto, The Passion and especially now the "Sound of Freedom"!

Sound of Freedom - Rotten Tomatoes

That is a very important movie if a bit fast and loose with the real story. I do know Jim Caviezel was the star but did not know Mel Gibson had anything to do with the film. Jim Caviezel - Rotten Tomatoes

Braveheart is my #1

Dam dude, I’m very surprised you like the Mad Max series. It takes place in a futuristic world that is void of electric vehicles!

Gas would be very hard to get in such a setting. Maybe if you made it from pig poop like in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
