The film version of CHICAGO was better than the stage play.
Right and in spades!
I liked "Take the Money and Run" too. :) Wasn't that the one where he played cello in a marching band?
Ruuuuun Forrrrrest! Ruuuuuuuun!
Did you ever see "Cecil B. Demented"
In it, a bunch of film school terrorists set about to blow up the filming of "Forrest Gump II: Gump Happens"
They also liberate a theatre playing "Patch Adams"
Demented Forever!
I would probably love that !
(I love all the old black and white films the best!)
I liked Field of Dreams. My list of overrated movies would be anything by Michael Moore or Algore.
I liked Rudy. I thought it was a good movie. I bought the DVD.
I've seen 6 of 'em.
Liked Fantasia and Forrest Gump.
Never liked Wizard of Oz.
Space Odyssey I liked in college, don't know what I'd think now...but it may have been better than Planet of the Apes, which I hated.
Gone With the Wind...don't think it was overrated, but it's not my type of movie.
Easy Rider sucks.
I agree with those who put The Patriot on the list of overrated.
Movie I like: Long Kiss Goodnight
The POS starring Nicole Kidman is utter garbage.
The Blair Witch Project - I just didn't get it, what was the big deal.
In a similar vein, I liked "Boiler Room."
I could never bring myself to watch it. Just didn't interest me.
In Cecil B. Demented, each of the terrorists (aka "the sproket holes") has a director's name tattooed on their arms: William Castle, Sam Fuller, John Cassavetes, Peckinpah, Fassbinder, etc.
They kidnap a famous actress (alludes to a Julia Roberts type) and force her to star in their own film of their exploits. Its really raunchy, but funny, and a pretty scathing review of some of the crappy mass market stuff that is being released and promoted.
I seem to remember some years ago Notre Dame played Florida in the Sugar Bowl. And everyone said ND was overrated and Florida would kill them. It didn't happen. ND clobbered them. Is there anything more precious than the sounds of silenced southerners? LOL!
SACRILEGE!!!!
You just had to bring that game up didn't you?
Sounds hilarious. I'll have to rent it. Keep thinking I'll sign up for netflix but we have Dish satellite so we get some decent movies once in a while.
Fast Times=no real anything to it
A Christmas Story=never been able to stay awake through it
Caddyshack=nothing that interesting except for Bill Murry and the Dali Lama
Blues Brothers=??? but at least it had good music and the former "bridge to nowhere" in Milwaukee. That was kind of a cool trick, falling off a bridge in Milwaukee and ending up in Chicago, I always figured a wormhole was somehow involved. Or VALIS or something.
For comedy I like things that are funny like Ghostbusters and Serial Mom.
