Watching tonight "The Odd Couple" (1968) with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
An oldie but goodie.

That is a fantastic movie. I have a friend who's never seen it because she loved the TV show when it was on and doesn't think she could ever accept any other actors playing those roles. I keep telling her she doesn't know what she's missing.

I remember when I first saw the movie, my reaction was just the opposite. When they first aired the SitCom, I refused to watch it because I didn't believe it could be as good as the movie. Eventually I began watching it on TV. Now, I think Jack Klugman and Tony Randall were the perfect match for the TV series.

Possibly Kevin Bacon's finest role, also starring
Gary Oldman, Kyra Sedgwick and Christian Slater.
IMHO, Kevin Bacon should've won an Oscar for this
performance.

Oscar (Holding plate of food Felix has prepared): What's this?

Felix: It's linguini.

Oscar (throws plate of food at wall): It was linguini, now it's garbage.

I also thought Gary Oldman gave a convincing and stellar performance as the Associate Warden.

Another great movie starring Richard Gere
and which launched the career of Edward Norton.

I rated this and found it most interesting seeing as how it was taken from the Japanese perspective:

Letters from Iwo Jima

I personally believe this movie puts Clint Eastwood in the ranks of the best directors ever.

High praise indeed but I thought his acting, especially over the longer period of time deserves more recognition.
