some people just have WAY too much time on their hands! LOL

You could settle an argument/bet I've got going.
A movie buff are you?
Is the breakfast club the 6:00 a.m. happy hour for all the bartenders and staff?

A very good movie, but a heck of a long time to wait for a movie review. Its been out for a while now.
"Hush" was the best episode ever.
On Cable, HBO will have the second season of "Deadwood". I hope they rebroadcast the first season for you.
"Deadwood" is the greatest western in the history of storymaking.

I vaguely recall being invited to a 6:00 a.m. happy hour on the Wharf for what was described as a meeting of the "Breakfast Club." Live music. Dancing. And lots of beer, vodka, and rum. When I think about it, the timing was very close to April 1.
Groundhog Day and Rushmore are two of my all-time favs with Bill. A little trivia: the Xena episode, 'Been There, Done That' was written to be just like Groundhog Day as Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert thought it was the best movie of the 90s.
Considering that most movies are total dreck, what makes a good movie a "good movie"? Spectacular car chases? Outrageous FX? Serious gun play? Clever dialog? Enrapturing musical scrores? Over the holidays, that was one of the topics that came up - best movie, and why. I kept drawing a blank, one movie had great this, but lousy that, another had lots of good things but the plot was lame. Then last night while perusing through the massive Hick movie repository, I spied the "GroundHog Day" and smiled as I pulled it down and played it again because I collected it because at the time I considered it my favorite movie of all time. Nothing has ever unseated it from that position. Why? Couldn't tell you - it is the only movie that I will play over and over - most others just collect dust.
Oh, and there is the gratuitous car chase.
Noticing that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was nominated as 'Best TV Program' by some, may I add that IMHO, the best television character ever portrayed is the Garret Macy character on Crossing Jordan...
Groundhog Day is one of my all-time favorites! I will stop and watch it to the end whenever I see it when I'm channel surfing. This past Christmas my son gave me my own DVD so I can view it whenever I want, and not have to find it accidently.
Completely useless trivia: In the scene where Burt Lancaster is walking out of the office building while police cars pull up to the curb out front, the building used for the filming is the Texas Commerce Tower (since renamed the JP Morgan Chase Tower) in Houston Texas -- and I'm standing in the lobby watching them film the scene...

"one of the greatest movies ever"
Rate the TOP FIVE MOVIES EVER. You have one minute. Ok, three days.
Got it. I've been there. I went out for an early morning run around the island and I came home drunk.
One more thing Jonah, Hollywood makes things they want to make, not the things we want to see, or at least in the last 40 years. You want to see classic Americanna rent "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", that will rock your conservative world.
