Yojimbo, one of the greatest movies of all times.

My husband and I LOVE Hudson Hawk. It's an old favorite in our house.

If Bruce Willis can't act, then how do you explain his stellar turn in Pulp Fiction???

I’d cite “12 Monkeys” as an even more stellar example of his acting ability.

He was nothing short of brilliant in that very tricky role.

Siskel and Roeper gave Tears of the Sun, and Willis specifically, two thumbs up.

The bad guy in Die Hsrd also derided Americans as "cowboys." John McLean (Willis) set him straight...

I'd forgotten about 12 Monkeys. Willis was very, very good in that.

Rent "Armageddon" and watch him ridicule the Greenpeace activists in the beginning. That scene alone is worth the whole movie. About once a month I pop in the movie and watch that one scene over and over and laugh myself silly. Then I turn down the sound and play ZZTop (LaGrange)on my Bose LS 50 with the volume waaaay up. Both Willis and ZZTop are conservative. I love America.

If everyone hates him, how is that that he can make 5 movies a year? I'm always amazed by how many movies this guy makes! I don't think he's a great actor, but he is very good at what the does. And he's a good man.

"(Bruce Willis) can't act. To be a good actor, you have to surrender yourself into a role… You have to be able to become that person and conservatives don't have heart or any compassion, so they can't act their way out of a paper bag."

Some other notable "non-actor", heartless, uncompassionate conservatives:

I'll take the real deal over a paper bag escape artist any day.

How much did he donate... $50,000 and their boat is polluting more than anything. LOL. Just from talking about that I may have to watch it tonight.

Re Unbreakable...if he was unbreakable,how was he injured in a car crash such that his football career ended? That would just about ruin the whole premise...

I thought he donated a couple a million or so. Now I will have to watch tonight to find out the amount. But, you might be right.

OH yeah, or where he describes how the government put his drilling machine together: "no I said piss poor job."

No offense against our current government, but governments in general usually muck things up. Private industry tends to be much more creative.

Tears of the Sun, Bruce Willis' new film, is opening on March 7

I wanted to see this movie. Now I know it is a must-not-miss and if needed, a multiple-must-see.

Bruce Willis! Yippee-Ki-Yay!

...just the lying and mendacity...

Correct and telling use of SAT word. This man is no idiot (Sean Penn, go to your dictionary to look this word up).
