Best Car Chase - Torn between Ronin & The Bourne Supremacy
Best Beating - Layer Cake (OMG what a beating! (http://download.yo-momma.net/Layer_Cake_Fight.mov) 32MB)
Best Battle - I suppose it'll have to go to one of the LOTR films, only I can't remember which one is which! :eek: :p

I can't think of any more categories, but either just name your own for the categories I've already mentioned, or add your own to those existing, and add your own new category and favorite for the next person to have to think up :D You with me? :o

You ARE bored.

Let's see.

The best battle is definitely in ROTK.

Ooops...late, gotta go.

[zelmo]

Most Brutally Realistic Battle Sequence - 1st 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan. After that, the whole movie goes straight downhill, though.

[----Bowie----]

Best ending: 2001: A Space Odyssey
Best shooting: The Godfather (when they try to kill Don Corleone when he's buying oranges)

[PlaceofDis]

Best Car Chase: definitely Bourne Surpremacy there
Best Brutal Fight:i would have to say Edward Norton in Fight Club agains the Blonde Kid....wow
Best Fight: Gladiator when its three against one and he uses two swords to decapitate the guy
Best Use of Swearing: Snatch (maybe)
Best WWII Move: Band of Brothers

[emw]

Having just watched RotK yesterday, I'd agree it's one of the top battle scenes.

Best Firefight: The Matrix

Best Destruction of Office Equipment: Office Space

[takao]

BEST "YOU GOT A NEW FAMILY MEMBER" SCENE:Star Wars the Empire Strikes back

[edesignuk]

Best Firefight: The Matrixoooohhhhhhhhhhhh!! Good one! The lobby scene is awesome :cool:

[Savage Henry]

Best Battle - Seven Samurai
Best Scene Stealer - Orson Welles as Harry Lime, The Third Man
Best Understatement - Roy Schneider as Chief Brody, Jaws "...We're gonna need a bigger boat ..."
Best Use of Irony - Peter Sellars as President Merkin Muffley, Dr Strangelove "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

[dops7107]

Worst line in movie history: "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed" (Four Weddings and a Funeral)
Best line in movie history: "Found this spoon, sir" (Monty Python's Life of Brian)

H'obviously these are a little subjective! ;)

[ijimk]

Best Line EVER!

"PC load letter what the %$*@ does that mean?" Office Space :D

[ham_man]

Best WWII Era Movie - Band of Brothers

Best Vietnam Era Movie - Full Metal Jacket

[Mr. Durden]

Best scene in a movie:

Edward Norton beating himself up in his boss' office and then, when the security gueards come in he says "please, dont hit me again."

Best screw up in a movie: (ok, maybe not the best but funny nontheless) In days of Thunder, when one of the characters is introduced to Tom Cruise's character, Dick, she says "hi Tom, nice to meet you" (How in the world does that get through?)

Brightest Teeth in a movie: Mathew McConahae (butchered that, I'm sure) in Sahara. My lord those are the brightest teeth I've ever seen!

[Lyle]

Best Car Chase - Torn between Ronin & The Bourne SupremacyOh, come on. Has to be The Blues Brothers.

[James Philp]

Best Beating: Big Lebouski (Jon Goodman vs. the nihilists - sorry, no spelling guess!)

[James Philp]

Best WWII Era Movie - Band of Brothers

Best Vietnam Era Movie - Full Metal Jacket

Band of Brothers wasn't a movie.
Platoon also has a shout in there, seeing as it was made by a VET, you gotta think it's going to be realistic! (BTW Don't see "Hot Shot" films - you can never take charlie sheen fully serious again!)

BTW there's some pretty brutal stuff in Alexander (which I thought was a very good movie contrary to the reviews). Horses being sliced and diced - people actually getting scars from battle!

[DigitalVideo]

My two cents:

Best Ending: Being There with Peter Sellers
Best Ending 2: well, not quite the end, but the climax, Paths of Glory
Best Scene Ever: the crop duster scene from North By Northwest
Best Scene Ever 2: Tuco's run through cemetary and the climax to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Notables:

- Murder of Don Fanucci in The Godfather: Part II
- T-rex escape in Jurassic Park
- dance scene from Band of Outsiders

[840quadra]

Best Car Chase - Torn between Ronin & The Bourne Supremacy
Best Beating - Layer Cake (OMG what a beating! (http://download.yo-momma.net/Layer_Cake_Fight.mov) 32MB)

Ronin Owns all others as far as car chases. I want an Audi S8, but the scene with BMW 5 series was much more fun to watch.

[840quadra]

Best Use of Swearing: Snatch (maybe)


My vote would be on lock stock and 2 smoking barrels!

He's a ******g Liability!!!! :eek:

[Mr. Anderson]

Best Scene With Cows Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Fechez la vache!

Best Overdose Scene Uma Therman in Pulp Fiction - that needle in the chest - shudder

Best Monolog Before Shooting Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction

[killuminati]

Best Destruction of Office Equipment: Office Space

YES! YES YES YES YES!!!

You do not have a ******** paper jam!

[mkrishnan]

YES! YES YES YES YES!!!

You do not have a ******** paper jam!

Back up in your a** with the resurrection! :D

[wrc fan]

Best Car Chase: I know it's not a movie, but nothing beats the car chases from Dukes of Hazard when the General Lee jumps a river and then magically can keep on driving

Best Beating: Fight Club

Best Battle: While not a battle in the typical sense, Die xue shuang xiong (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097202/) had a nice gunfight battle at the end I thought.

Best Ending (Drama): La Haine (http://imdb.com/title/tt0113247/)
Best Ending (Comedy): Johnny Stecchino (http://imdb.com/title/tt0102164/) (but not in the US version)
Worst Ending: Billy Elliot

[Phat_Pat]

Funny Death (ok maybe not the funniest but its late) Zoolander. "Freak gasoline fight" :cool: :D

[wrc fan]

Funny Death (ok maybe not the funniest but its late) Zoolander. "Freak gasoline fight" :cool: :D

I agree with that one. That has to be one of the funniest deaths I've seen.

[Mr. Anderson]

Worst Ending: Billy Elliot


You've obviously never seen Artificial Intelligence

Office Space has so many great scenes

"And I could see the squirrels, and they were merry...."

D

[killuminati]

Office Space has so many great scenes




I believe you have my shtapler.

[wrc fan]

Worst Ending: Billy Elliot
You've obviously never seen Artificial Intelligence

Maybe I should have said best good movie with a bad ending? Cause really I like the movie except for everything after he gets on the bus to go to London. Really that's where the movie should've ended in my opinion.

[edesignuk]

Best Overdose Scene Uma Therman in Pulp Fiction - that needle in the chest - shudder

Best Monolog Before Shooting Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction
Both absolutely fantastic scenes. Jacksons speech before he shoots the guy is classic!

There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. I been sayin' that **** for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a ************ before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some **** this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that **** ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.

Makes me wanna watch it now...in fact I might! (Still off work sick :o)

[scem0]

Best non-fighting martial arts sequence: The Echo Game scene from House of Flying Daggers.
http://www.cinescene.com/knipp/images/flyingdaggers2.jpghttp://www.moviemuckers.com/archives/houseofflying_8.jpg
That scene is seriously amazing... I bet my jaw was dropped the first time I saw it :).
Best Hair (Female): Run Lola Run
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/8356/lola2.jpg
Really good film.

scem0

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Best Car Chase - Torn between Ronin & The Bourne SupremacyOh, come on. Has to be The Blues Brothers.I'm with Lyle on this one. The one in Blues Brothers rule (maybe with the exception of the small nazi-sequence)... :)

I have to add two scenes from True Romance (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108399/), which both bear the marks of writer Quentin Tarantino:
- The scene where Sicilian mafia enforcer Christopher Walken is questioning ex-copper Dennis Hopper about the whereabouts of Hoppers son, played by Christian Slater. When Hopper tells Walker that all Sicilians are n*ggers, and why without lying. :D
- The 3-way standoff/shootout at the end of the movie. A classic.

[Peterkro]

Best Scene in a movie?The steps scene from Battleship Potemkin (old I know but incredibly powerful).Its floating around the interweb if anybody wants a copy.

[840quadra]

Recently watched this.

Best Cross Dressing Comedy: The Birdcage

and no I don't cross dress, I just like Robin Williams for some reason.

[mouchoir]

Band of Brothers wasn't a movie.
Platoon also has a shout in there, seeing as it was made by a VET, you gotta think it's going to be realistic! (BTW Don't see "Hot Shot" films - you can never take charlie sheen fully serious again!)

BTW there's some pretty brutal stuff in Alexander (which I thought was a very good movie contrary to the reviews). Horses being sliced and diced - people actually getting scars from battle!

Surely 'Apocalypse Now' is the best vietnam war movie!

Platoon ripped off Martin Sheen's voiceover in it by using his son Charlie's near identical voice to do a voiceover.

[iSaint]

Best scene in a movie:

Edward Norton beating himself up in his boss' office and then, when the security gueards come in he says "please, dont hit me again."

What movie is that???

Best screw up in a movie: (ok, maybe not the best but funny nontheless) In days of Thunder, when one of the characters is introduced to Tom Cruise's character, Dick, she says "hi Tom, nice to meet you" (How in the world does that get through?)

Wow, missed that...of course, it wasn't the greatest movie ever so I really haven't watched it more than once.

[Lyle]

Best scene in a movie: Edward Norton beating himself up in his boss' office and then, when the security guards come in he says "please, dont hit me again."What movie is that???I think that must be from Fight Club (one of those movies that I've seen most parts of, but haven't actually seen all the way through).

[yellow]

Best (cheesy) Martial Arts movie you've never heard of: Iron Monkey

[James Philp]

Surely 'Apocalypse Now' is the best vietnam war movie!

Platoon ripped off Martin Sheen's voiceover in it by using his son Charlie's near identical voice to do a voiceover.

True, but I always thought the Charlie Sheen's Character inner monologues came from Oliver Stone's own thoughts, seeing as that character was basically auto-biographical for Stone. (And the Monologues were always read from letters to his Grandma no?)

Plus the endings of those two movies could not be more different - I can't tell you then number of times I dozed off during the last half hour of Apocalypse Now; all that darkness, not much dialogue.. not a lot going on.... yawn.... (Not that I didn't love it when I eventually got though it - I bought the Redux DVD, which didn't start at 10pm at night on TV!)

I have to say, I did LOVE Office Space too, have to get that on DVD!

Best Shootout Ever: After the bank heist in Heat - what a movie.

Trivia: that shootout (and a lot of other stuff in that movie) was choreographed by Andy McNabb (Of Bravo Two Zero - SAS fame)

[brap]

Best movie you wished you'd never seen: Requiem for a dream.

[yellow]

Best movie you wished you'd never seen: Requiem for a dream.


Best movie you wished you'd never seen: Punch Drunk Love

Worst movie you wish you'd never seen: Cabin Boy

Best Vietnam film (IMO): Full Metal Jacket

Makes me wanna watch it now...in fact I might! (Still off work sick :o)

But I think what really makes it is Samuel Jackson - coming from anybody else I don't think it would evoke as much emotion. Its just classic.

Woody Allen, maybe? :D

[Mr. Anderson]

I'm with Lyle on this one. The one in Blues Brothers rule (maybe with the exception of the small nazi-sequence)... :)



That would be best comedy car chase scene.

[iGary]

I've watched that scene E posted from Layer Cake, and I just have to have the movie now to put the pieces together.

I felt the same way - I'm going to put it in my netflix queue....

Remember how when Nigel learns Nemo's dad is crossing the ocean to find him? Well, look back - Nigel was never told Nemo's name. There's no way he could have made that association.

[yellow]

Really? :( Just as long as you're not one of those people who insist that the robots at the end of the movie, who find the boy robot, are aliens. They can't be aliens. It ruins the whole movie. I'm very angry about that. :rolleyes:

[edesignuk]

I've watched that scene E posted from Layer Cake, and I just have to have the movie now to put the pieces together.:cool:

When you watch it, you will see why the guy deserved all that he got ;) :D

[mkrishnan]

Best Vietnam film (IMO): Full Metal Jacket

As many good ones as there are, and as admittedly as I am not a real war film fan, this is one of my favorites.... Jacob's Ladder is not exactly a war movie, but it deserves some kind of mention.

BTW, Yellow, was Iron Monkey that internet only movie? ;) :p :D

[yellow]

BTW, Yellow, was Iron Monkey that internet only movie? ;) :p :D

Nope. I have it on DVD and it was re-released (well, released for the first time in US theaters, but rebranded as a new movie) back in the late 90s.

Great action. Amusing story. Worth a rental if you like "Kung Fu" movies.

EDIT:

Best John Woo film (IMO): Hard Boiled

[mkrishnan]

Best John Woo film (IMO): Hard Boiled

Isn't the phrase Best John Woo Film kind of like saying "Most Pleasant STD to Contract?" ;) :eek: :D

[yellow]

Isn't the phrase Best John Woo Film kind of like saying "Most Pleasant STD to Contract?" ;) :eek: :D

Unfortunately, tons of Americans associate him only with his US movies. Which to date, all suck ass. But most of his Chinese movies are classic and are definitely worth a rent. Check Hard Boiled out. It's a great movie. It'll give you a whole new respect for John Woo.

[Pittsax]

(Insert Jules' monologue here)

But I think what really makes it is Samuel Jackson - coming from anybody else I don't think it would evoke as much emotion. Its just classic.

D
I totally agree. Proof of how good Sam Jackson is in that movie simply is in the two totally different interpetations he gives of the same line. Just compare how he says it right before he blows Brett away to the way he says it to Pumpkin at the end. Brilliance.

[yellow]

Best soundtrack to a WWII miniseries on HBO: Michael Kamen's Band of Brothers soundtrack (may he RIP)

[mkrishnan]

Okay, yeah, I could see that. To be honest, I haven't watched that much Chinese cinema. I've seen many, many Japanese movies, and of course lots of other foreign movies, but only a few Chinese ones aside from the major ports.

I always associate Woo with someone falling over sideways in slow motion, with a gun in each hand, emptying the clip during the fall, preferably with something blowing up in the background. :D

[yellow]

Well not that much has changed.. :) Seriosuly rent Hard Boiled. One of many John Woo & Chow Yun Fat's sweet hookups. It's been a long tie since I've seen this movie, and my wife is away, I think tonight it's time to crank that movie up on the surround sound!!!

Okay, you're warming me up to it. I am a big fan of Chow Yun Fat. :)

[Pittsax]

Best depressing ending of all time - Chinatown

Best crash sequence of all time - Bus/Train crash in The Fugitive. No CGI here! No models either....

Best Cross Dressing Comedy - Some Like It Hot (apologies to whomever said The Birdcage but it doesn't compare)

Best Exit from Film by Villain - Hans Gruber in Die Hard

[yellow]

Okay, you're warming me up to it. I am a big fan of Chow Yun Fat. :)

Excellent! John Woo made Chow Yun Fat famous in China! I expect a full report on Hard Boiled tomorrow. :D

[iGary]

:cool:

When you watch it, you will see why the guy deserved all that he got ;) :D

I put it on my Netflix queue - they don't have it yet, though. :rolleyes:

Uh, you must be thinking about another movie, Billy Elliot is about a boy that likes to dance. There's no robots.

[mkrishnan]

Hmmm...double confusion. You quoted Mr. Anderson talking about AI. But I guess you had originally been talking about Billy Eliot. Sorry!

[Doctor Q]

Best case of "Now that I understand what was really going on, I have to watch the movie all over again!"

It's a tie!The Sixth Sense (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167404)

I edited the quote in my post for clarity. He was saying AI had a worse ending in response to my saying Billy Elliot had the worst ending. So my response was that I should have said worst ending to a good movie :)

[emw]

Best Use of Available Square Footage: Being John Malkovich (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120601/) and the 7 1/2th floor.

[wrc fan]

Hey, now, them's fighting words! :p I *liked* AI. And its ending! :p

Yes, and I'm still talking about Billy Elliot being the worst ending to a good movie. Mr. Anderson is the one who did not like AI (I haven't seen it so I can't comment).

I've watched Memento 4 times, and I'm still not sure what was really going on. I mean how can anyone be really sure that what you're lead to believe happened is really what happened? What if it really was all a trick?

[Lacero]

Best Love Scene - Team America: World Police

[yellow]

Best Love Scene - Team America: World Police

Oh my god.. you actually saw that movie?

[Lacero]

Yes I did. It's actually quite funny. We got big laughs when the love scene came up, and when the lead marionette was given a device for killing himself should he be captured/tortured by the enemy.

You've seen it?

[bartelby]

Best movie you wished you'd never seen: Requiem for a dream.

Damn right!!! I saw that whilst on the plane to New York... for my honeymoon.
It put me right in the mood, I can tell you!

[Doctor Q]

Best "best" category: Best Use of Available Square Footage

Oooh, I'm so sorry! That must not have been pleasant. :(

[yellow]

You've seen it?

I refuse to put my money in their pockets.

And the movie's concept didn't appeal to me, so no.

[rendezvouscp]

You "forgot" The Usual Suspects (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114814/) with Kevin Spacey. :)

Another vote for that movie. I couldn't figure it out, but once Kaiser walks out of the police office and it all comes together, you just have to watch it again to see where they put in all the hidden jems of the plot!
-Chase

[snkTab]

Best Introduction: Jesus in the Big Lebousk with the whole spanish hotel california song playing.

... ten year olds dude.

[mpw]

I put it on my Netflix queue - they don't have it yet, though. :rolleyes:

I notice that the trailer for Layer Cake has just turned up on Apple's QT website with a release date of coming soon for the US.

Great film but don't get your hopes up of seeing any more of the girl in black underwear from the trailer as that's about all her scenes from the movie! :(

[Blue Velvet]

Best Fight Scene: Raging Bull, take your pick from a number of them.

[Nanda Devi]

Best car chase scene: The French Connection

Best dream sequences: Rosemary's Baby

Most disturbing scene: The Russian roulette scene in The Deer Hunter

Slickest entrance into a bar: Johnny (Deniro) in Mean Streets, with "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by the Stones playing...

....followed closely by Hackman's entrance into that bar about 15 minutes into French Connection, which is subsequently topped by his entrance into the bar he shakes down about 30 mintues later in the same film....

[MattG]

Best Introduction: Jesus in the Big Lebousk with the whole spanish hotel california song playing.

... ten year olds dude.

"8 year olds, dude" ;)

My favorite sequence has to be the part with Walter and The Dude in the car, and the "ringer."

[revenuee]

Oh my god.. you actually saw that movie?

are you kidding? it's brilliant ... anyone that hates bush and all his policies will get a huge kick out of this film.

all you guys talking about the borne supremacy being the best car chase or even blues brothers ... no way

all i have to say is ... the original 1974 Gone in 60 seconds

40 minutes, and it was filmed in a busy street

Best way to tell off a woman - Frankly my Dear i don't give a damn -- Gone with the Wind

Best use of asian subtitles - Major league: back to the minors

[AppleMatt]

I'm no good with categories, so my one is Just damn cool scenes:

Aliens: When the marines first get attacked, well...decimated.
Black Hawk Down: The delta snipers volunteering to go down to help the pilot (I think I might like this because it really happened, but it's still pretty good in the film too).
Bourne Identity/Supremacy: Any fight scene.
Gone in 60 (new): Stealing the Ferraris.
The Last Samuri Where he keeps getting up.
Top Gun: Goose dies.
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest: Where the big guy kills Jack, because he knows he wouldn't want to live as a vegtable.
Finding Nemo: "SSSS-cap-ey, wow, kinda sounds like escape" (if you've seen it you'll understand)
Dodgeball: "Yes they're not on the pitch just yet, their absence is noticable."

There's millions more, I love films, but I'm fed up of typing now.

AppleMatt
edit: Collateral: Best scene is where he dies at the end (sorry to anyone who hasn't seen that yet...) but also good is the club scene and the "Yo homie, that my briefcase?" scene.
edit 2: Mission Impossible 2: Where Nyah injects herself. That's the only point in the entire film that surprised me, and I think the music (by Hans Zimmer) really made the scene.

[mkrishnan]

Best use of asian subtitles - Major league: back to the minors

Along the same lines:

Best use of a referee - Unecessary Roughness (for the calls on the karate guy)

[emw]

Best Promotion of Martial Arts Move Never Actually Used in Real Life: Karate Kid

[yellow]

are you kidding? it's brilliant ... anyone that hates bush and all his policies will get a huge kick out of this film.

Marionettes? Am I kidding? I'm not putting money into someone's pocket for puppets. At least they tried live action for "Thunderbirds".

[emw]

Marionettes? Am I kidding? I'm not putting money into someone's pocket for puppets. At least they tried live action for "Thunderbirds".
Now why is it that a movie with puppets is by default any less worthy of attention than, say, computer-generated animation? Or regular animation? Or the Muppets? Or anything with Ashton Kuchar?

Oh, c'mon. Puppet sex? You gotta give them some credit for that, right?

BTW - not a big P&S fan myself, but the comment that you weren't going to pay for puppets made me laugh! ;) :D

[yellow]

I can't remember the last puppet I paid for.. Dark Crystal? I once watched some Farscape on TV, that's sort of paying for it.

Best Androgyno-sexy Villain - Labyrinth!!! :)

The Secret of Nimh rocks too. ;)Someone else who'd actually seen that movie? The book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0689710682/104-5067557-3201513?v=glance) was better, but the movie was still entertaining.

Mr. Anderson said the Best scene with cows is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I would have to disagree. That honor definitely goes to O, Brother, Where art Thou? "If there's one thing I hate more than coppers, it's cows."

[Artful Dodger]

Best Use of Irony For me it's the last 10 mins. of The Shawshank Redemption

Best Car Chase With Guns the Matrix-Reloaded

Did I tell you about my condition, a movie I really like but can't remember why? Memento ...

Best Use of a Penguin Billy Madison

Best Movie to Watch When You Have Nothing to Due ... Friday

Lots of good stuff in this thread :D

The best angry shooting sequence was in Boondock Saints when Rocco went into that cafe and started screaming and shooting those wiseguys. Rocco was so cool.

Best (cheesy) Martial Arts movie you've never heard of: Iron Monkey

Best sequence of events that didn't really happen - American Psycho :D

Best Movie to Watch When You Have Nothing to Due ... Friday

Yes Yes! :)

Which reminds me of...

Worst casting in a cyberpunk movie ever - Ice-T in Johnny Mnemonic..."We gonna take the information, and we gonna wideband it!" *spreads arms out, gesticulating madly*

[Inspector Lee]

Most rock n' roll intro... A Clockwork Orange

Synthetics in the Korova.
Break up a gang-rape and engage in a wild wild brawl.
Run three people off the road.
Beat the bejesus out of an old drunkard.
More synthetics.
Ransack a house...

Jeez. I posted twice in the last 3 minutes on two separate threads and used the term "gang-rape" in both. That's gotta be some kind of MR record...

Best movie to film if you can't afford to pay Dan Brown for the rights to make the 'Di Vinci Code' but still want to use the story and cash in that favor Nicolas Cage owes you: National Treasure

It's the only explanation.

Trailer that most made me want to rent a movie: Blow - Jonny Depp racing round to "Whoa Black Betty''

Totally off topic but let me say that the Da Vinci code is a second rate .Foucault's Pendulum (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345368754/104-9164585-1159957?v=glance)

Marionettes? Am I kidding? I'm not putting money into someone's pocket for puppets.


Well I saw it. What a horrid, horrid movie. Apparently there were aspects to the movie that I didn't get. Bad overt jokes. Pathetic "subtle" humor. The ONLY thing that made me guffaw (once) was the 1st unarmed "fight" scene. Otherwise, this movie has now taken top spot in my list of worst movies ever.. I can't believe something knocked off Cabin Boy.


At least it was my wife's money.

[Doctor Q]

Does anybody remember this scene from one of my all-time favorite movies?

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072251)

Lt. Garber (Walter Matthau) is looking for one of the men who hijacked a New York subway train. He searches the home of Mr. Green (Martin Balsam) and finds nothing. Just as he is leaving, something happens and Garber peers back in the door with the classic Matthau hangdog face. You know why from the plot; I won't say more. The great music adds to the effect. If you haven't seen it, rent it!

P.S. I visited Walter Matthau and Marilyn Monroe's gravesites yesterday. They both said to say hi to all the movie fans here. ;)

Best plot twist: Se7en (Seven).
