What's Your Favorite Pipe Smoking Movie?

[drwatson]

Ever find yourself watching some movie, and in walks someone smoking a pipe. Suddenly you find yourself likeing this movie just alittle more. So what would be a movie you love were pipers are present?

My answer is "The Golden Boys" Made in 2008 w/ David Carradine, Bruce Dern, Rip Torn, Meriel Hemingway about three old ship captains. Very light on plot, but nice and calming movie

The Wolfman for me. It was an all-time fav of mine growing up. Recently I let my daughters watch a bit of it and noticed that there were several scenes with pipe smokers. A classic.

The Quiet Man with the Duke himself. Horse racing, boxing, family feuds, drinking and of course pipe smoking... Truly a manly film.

Mr. Hulot's Holiday with Jacques Tati. Don't need to know French because he doesn't talk in it. It's a a riot if you haven't seen it.

 

[crazypipe]

+ me for both The Wolfman and The Quiet Man. Quiet Man is my favorite movie. ::

 

[Perique]

For me it's LOTR all the way.

 

[okrent]

+1 for LOTR

The River Why, it has pipe smoking, fly fishing and Amber Heard sans clothing, what more could you ask for? My second choice would be Longitude, it is about the first reliable sea clocks, which allowed for navigation at sea. In the film, Jeremy Irons smokes a pipe throughout, as he portrays Rupert Gould, the brilliant man who restored the sea clocks to working order. If you're a fan of Horology or simply a history buff, it really is a wonderful film.

I'll have to check out longitude... Sounds awesome!

Hands down Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. I must have watched it over 100 times while building our house.

My vote goes to Longitude. It was an A&E original movie back when non-premium cable stations made decent programs, instead of reality television. I own the movie on DVD. The moment I found it available it was on its way. Irons was great, but Michael Gambon stole the show in my opinion.

The LOTR "trilogy" are simply some of the most amazing movies that Hollywood has ever come up with, next to The Godfather and Jaws of course.
I loved Kevin Costner's pipe-smoking portrayal of Devil Anse Hatfield in the Hatfield and McCoy series from History. Just fantastic.
Also - Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Every time I see that little curly-haired boy puffing on that pipe I laugh and smile a bit.

This Is Spinal Tap.

The opening scene of Inglourious Basterds always comes to mind.

 

[joshwolftree]

I haven't seen "The Quiet Man" in a while....perhaps too long, tomorrows movie mission!

 

[topd]

My Vote: "The Quiet Man"

 

[surlysoul]

I am not sure what my favorite is, but I just saw Men of Honor again. Robert De Niro has that Cob going most of the movie.

 

[drwatson]

Men of Honor, forgot about that one....great movie!

 

[carbz13]

Gotta go with the LotR trilogy also.... Lot of pipes in The Hobbit too.

 

[okrent]

Can you think of film where a pipe was more than just set dressing? Not necessarily a plot devise, but at least a pipe with some significance? Again, Inglourious Basterds is the only film that comes to mind.
