Ernest Scared Stupid! I haven't seen it recently, but I remember how often I watched it when I was a child.
fell asleep watching Angels and Demons....
I enjoyed this one. Curious which actors did you find horrible? I also liked C Waltz very much..he was the main reason i liked the film (mr Pitt is lately a turn off for me, but his last two movies i've seen-well this one and the one you recommended were really good).Quote:

I usually like Tarantino's movies.
Inglorious Basterds I liked it more than I thought I would. I do like Tarantino, and I'd forgotten how good he is at dialog. I don't care if they digress. The suspense. I felt that he really let the scene take its own time to develop. Personally I thought the acting was pretty good, but that Christoph Waltz was incredible and that he stole the show. 8/10
The Time-Traveler's WifeAnother pleasant surprise. Fairly well acted, the story is absorbing and touching. 7/10
I watch the same movies over and over again, every night. I choose new movies about twice a year. Some of the movies I watch, repeatedly, are "shawshank redemption", "ghost world", "royal tannebaums", "husbands and wives", "bridges of madison county", "kramer vs Kramer", "heartburn".
I alternate between these every night. It comforts me.
hahah..you sound just like me; I do vary a bit but sometimes I like going back to my favorites and you are right - somehow the familiarity of them is comforting. Two nights ago I watched a film I have watched a zillion times.Quote:

Yes. I love Meryl. it's funny, cause I never realized how many movies I watch with Meryl streep. She's so versatile in her characters, I don't see it as being a fanatic of hers, cause I'm really not. I'm more a Judy Davis fanatic. I think meryl just happens to be a coincidence.
those are just the ones I watch over and over at night. I watch other "oldies" (70's 80's) but goodies from time to time.
you know what movie to comes to mind that i think is so funny? " nightshift" with Michael keaton. Also "Arthur" with Dudley Moore.
Saw Lynch's Wild at Heart a about a week ago. It was quite good, though not as powerful as Blue Velvet and a little overly self-satirical, it still hits most of the right notes and is a fascinating allegory of getting lost on the Yellow Brick Road. Lynch certainly is somewhere over the raindow :lol:
7/10
Also, I saw Drugstore Cowboy about a week ago. Matt Dillon's performance is so great, and Van Sants directing is top notch. It truly gives you that feeling of degration and despair and that sick feeling of being a pills addict. It reminded me a bit of Bonnie and Clyde (another American masterpiece) in which this gang of "bandits" go around having a good time robbing stores/banks, but then fall into the consequences. But Bonnie and Clyde had it easy, their lives ended with a bang, a drug addict's life ends with a slow decomposing whimper. 10/10
Pollopicu, I was for a time very enamoured with the work of Meryl Streep. I guess I still am to a degree; but her earlier stuff more than her new stuff. Of course, I still think she's a amazingly talented actress and really looks great at her age; has a lot of vibrant energy - she was quite good in her newest film: Mama Mia and she has a nice singing voice also. She is still quite beautiful I think. I own a few of her films; Sophie's Choice, The French Lieutenant's Woman, Out of Africa; in fact, Out of Africa is my favorite move of all time! I finally had to purchase a copy for myself, since I watch it so often.Quote:

I watch a lot of films from that era and even earlier. I will buy one from ages ago (even from my teen years) and then I begin to recall others I particularly loved back then; I track those down to buy if they are something really special that I know I will watch over and over again. I just ordered a few: A Summer Place (60's, 70's ?), Summer of '42. Not too long ago I bought A Patch of Blue. Are you familar with any of these? It will be fun to revisit these wonderful older films; will bring back memories.Quote:

I loved Dudley Moore in the day! Not only Arthur, but others he did were just hilarious. I should look those up online and try to buy a few of the winners. I like the one with Goldie Hawn, but now I can't think of the name of it. It also starred Chevy Chase as a gumshoe detective...ah...wasn't it called Foul Play? That was an entertaining movie. Michael Keaton was good in a number of films from that era. I am not sure if I saw Nightshift. I liked him in Batman and he was good in Beetlejuice.Quote:

Nightshift (with Henry Winkler, too, making up the other half of the "odd couple") is a lot of fun, with some of the best lines ever.
Oh, Winkler was great. I will have to check it out sometime soon; sounds like fun.Quote:
