Or, how about "The Out Of Towners".
More like romantic hilarity.

It's Neil Simon. Of course it's funny. After all, he wrote The Odd Couple.

Haha, another great movie. Loved Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon together.

Oscar Madison: "Now kindly remove that spaghetti from my poker table."

(Felix laughs)

Oscar Madison: "What the hell's so funny?"

Felix: "It's not spaghetti, it's linguini."

Oscar picks up the linguini, hurls it against the kitchen wall and says, "Now it's garbage".

I must admit, I think one of my favourite movies is Thirteen Days.

It's got political tension, military tension, some action, good scripting and is based on real events. There are some liberties taken, yes, but it was very enjoyable to watch.

Gandhi is another great film, an epic in fact, and Ben Kingsley deserves the Oscar he won for it, one of the eight Oscars that the film won. Very highly recommended.

Last night, I wanted to watch Operation Pacific...

I ended up watching The Ghost and The Darkness. That was a great movie.

Tonight, I wanted to watch Operation Pacific....

Buuuuuuutttttttt.... I'm most of the way through Goodfellas at the moment. I'm gonna finish it tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I will watch Operation Pacific.

Finally finished watching Run Lola Run last night. It was ok, a good idea, but not great.

I've been watching more and more Independent Films lately. I grew up watching movies that were held together by the plot/storyline. It's hard to find that anymore in Hollywood, where the big flash bang explosions and "shoot 'em up" action thrills have taken over. That's not to say a good storyline doesn't rear it's head every once in a while.

You want to see a good Independent pyscho-thriller?
Watch "Sprial". The ending makes the entire "character study" approach, worth the wait.

Talk in another thread about scary movies suddenly made me think of the only movie in recent years that actually terrified me: Arlington Road, with Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins and Joan Cusak. It's a minor movie, with some flaws, but it's just...different.

All the more so because it's a (mostly) true story.

Awesome lines in that movie!

"We have brown sandwiches and green sandwiches, which do you want?"
"What's the green?"

"It's either very new cheese or very old meat"

and

"I saw milk standing in the refrigerator that wasn't even in a bottle!"

Classic!

Red October1984 · 06-09-13, 05:38 PM

I finished Goodfellas last night.

I really liked that movie. Very well done.

Yeah, Goodfellas is a classic.
If you like Ray Liotta (a NJ native), you gotta see him in "Something Wild" which also stars Jeff Daniels and a very young, hot, Melanie Griffith.

I love the fact that big tough Oscar is almost crying at that point.

I finally watched Operation Pacific.

It was pretty good. I can see how they took real life events and put them in the movie now that I've been playing SH4 and reading all about fleet boats and the War.

I liked it.

I always forget about that movie, and I don't know why because it is brilliant. Maybe it's time to watch it again.
