I always found Bud Cort kinda creepy. Except maybe in M*A*S*H. Picking one movie as my favorite is too hard, without a shotgun pointed at my head... Here goes: The Big Country

I have lots of favorites, but the one I watch the most would have to be Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
edit: On the lower left hand corner is says black comedy, drugs for the theme. I dont think there was one black person in this movie.. Last edited by redarrow; 07-11-2004 at 02:09 PM.. |

It's a rather large toss-up between What Dreams May Come, The Princess Bride, The Lord of the Rings (I think of all three movies as one long ass movie), The Indiana Jones Trilogy, Back to the Future Series, and last but not least, the new (live action) Peter Pan.
I just can't decide.

The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!" |

The term "black comedy" doesn't have anything to do with race, it is to do with the tone of the humor: dark humor, often making fun of death and other such things.

The Birth of A Nation - I have a special version featuring an interview with D.W. Griffith from 1946 or so. Incredibly moving story wonderfully showcasing friendship and the horror and stupidity of Reconstruction.

The WHOLE Godfather trilogy.
Many people kill on the third movie, and while it definitely wasnt as masterfully done, I like the progression of Michael Corleone's character (played masterfully by Al Pacino) much better than any of the other movies. In the first, he comes into his own, in the second he descends into darkness, in the third, he has his repentance.
