Did you all wake up early today to watch the Las Vegas Formula 1 Grand Prix? We did! And although I did not have much expectations it was a nice race with some great actions.
All the other stuff around the race is just a bit too much for me, but since it is Vegas, it has to be over the top I guess.
For today’s list I was having a look at songs about Las Vegas, there are quite some around. But then I changed my mind. Why not step away from music, and have a look at movies. There are some great movies (partly) taking place or filmed in Vegas. So I had a look, and here are some of my favorites. Already have some downloads running for a rewatch.
1. Casino (1995)
I have not done an all time favorite movies list yet, but this one is definately on the shortlist. Written and directed by Martin Scorsese. Starring Robert de Niro, Sharon Stone and Joes Pesci. What a masterpiece.
2. Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
Going to Vegas to drink yourself to death, damn. When of Nick Cages’s bettere roles.
3. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Based on the book by Hunter S. Thompson. What a bizarre trip. Great roles by Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro.
4. Behind The Candelabra (2013)
Not the typical stories I usually watch. And not the typical roles Michael Douglas and Matt Damon usually play.
5. Jason Bourne (2016)
But this is a typical Matt Damon movie with an ending on the Strip.
6. Las Vegas (2003 – 2008)
Slipping in a TV serie. I remember I loved this serie about surveillance team of a casino.
7. Ocean’s 11 (2001)
No further explantion needed, I assume we all know this one.
8. Con Air (1997)
Download running, scheduling a rewatch soon.
9. Now You See Me (2013)
Another great cast in this movie about a group of illusionists who run heists during their show.
10. Rain Man (1988)
Would be nice if I could count cards like that.
