Yeah, Smoke is a good movie. Not an epic, not great. Just good. Probably nothing Your wife/GF would like. (Sequel) Blue in the face is also OK, though it's different with lots of celeberties in small parts. Very funny and odd.

... and don't forget Papillon!

Farewell My Lovely, Payback, Beetlejuice. "THAT'S why I won't do two shows a night anymore. I won't do 'em."

Anything w/ C Eastwood, Highlander, Warriors, The Proffesional, Gettysburg, The Blues Brothers, Forrest Gump.

Although movies are far better today than ever before in a technical sense, I think they were a lot more entertaining before everything had to be an epic blockbuster or convey profound meaning ... I tend to enjoy movies that have surprising turns of events ("Usual Suspects" is a good example) and my all-time favorite is a picture very few people have ever seen for some reason ... made in the 60's, it stars Henry Fonda, Joanne Woodward, Burgess Meredith, Paul Ford, Jason Robards, Charles Bickford and Robert Middleton ... if you've never seen it (and the odds are you haven't) and can find it at a Blockbuster or other rental store, I highly recommend it ... about an hour and 30 or 40 minutes long and although not aimed at kids by any means, it's suitable for the entire family ... it's called "A Big Hand For The Little Lady" ... if you can find it, it's worth watching ... let me know what you think ... (and if you're one of those rare individuals who's seen it, don't give away the surprise twist in the storyline) ...

I would have to say that I enjoy " dude where's my car" and "Debbie does Dallas".

Two choices of taste and distinction.

Some favorite movies: Blue Velvet (David Lynch is one of the greatest directors ever), Citizen Kane and Casablanca (They don't, or can't, make movies like these anymore), Platoon, Jaws, Beetlejuice ("We've come for your daughter Chuck"), Pulp Fiction (What happened to Quentin anyway?).

Did you ever see Lynch's "The Straight Story"? Great movie. I didn't really care for "Mullholland Drive", but that is one beautiful actress. Of course, "The Elephant Man" stands out as his classic.

Lynch is hard to watch and I am not a big fan of his movies, but Tarintino is working on a prequel to "Pulp Fiction"! If you haven't seen "Out of the Past", "Kiss of Death", "Kiss Me Deadly", "Touch of Evil", "Key Largo", "Cape Fear" or "The Killing".........go and rent, buy or steal them. All great examples of Film Noir genre and a modern movie that would fall right into that same genre is Mel Gibson in "Payback" (I think his best film role)!!! I only wish I could have seen all of those black and white films on the big screen, but they were all into color and cinemascope when I was a kid! Charlie

Charlie...kill, kill, kill, kill.....dude, not a happy-go-lucky movie in the bunch?

E-chick, OK, "happy movies" uh, let's see....."Some Like it Hot", "Groundhog Day", "Caddyshack", "Splash", "The Out of Towners" Jack Lemon, "Legend of Bagger Vance", "What Women Want", "Grumpy Old Men", "BeetleJuice", "SpiderMan", is that enough on the happy movie side? Charlie

🙂

Some others that come to mind that I liked a great deal were "Scent Of A Woman", "As Good As It Gets" and "Brother, Where Art Thou?"

"Raising Arizona", "Home for the Holidays", "National Lampoon's Vacation", "Nat Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", "What About Bob?",and "Stripes" and "Mickey Blue Eyes"!!! Charlie PS Is that enough comedies? Still prefer the "Kill, Kill Kill" types of movies!

And my all time favorite comedy, "Tin Men" directed by Barry Levinson! Charlie

I liked Tin Men too ... which makes me think of another picture, although not a comedy, that I like a lot and which not too many have seen ... "Glengary, Glenross" ... I saw an interview with Jack Lemmon in which he said that he thought this might have been his best picture ever ... and I think he might have been right. An all-star cast if ever there were one too; besides Jack, there was Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey, and Alan Arkin

Have any of you seen any of Errol Morris's documentaries like "The Thin Blue Line", Fast, Cheap, and Out Of Control" or "Dr. Death"? "Fast, Cheap..." is one of my very favorite documentaries.

J...The Thin Blue Line sounds familiar...what's the story line?

It's about a man wrongly convicted of killing a policeman in Dallas.
