September 23, 200916 yr Gods and Generals. I watched that movie in theaters and I will never watch it again. I have a degree in history and a particular focus on military history. There was nothing I enjoyed about that movie except seeing the end credits appear on the screen.
September 23, 200916 yr Similar to wrestler, I used to watch every movie that was released when I was in college, good or bad. Now, I see a movie in the theatre a few times a year. Here some of the ones that really stand out for me. Pi - directed by Darren Aronofsky Judy Berlin - Never made it to the theatres outside of NY/LA. I was fortunate to be visiting a friend of mine at Emerson film school. We watched it before it was released and had a Q&A with the producer. Very cool. Last movie made by Madeline Kahn. Happiness - Solondz flick (Welcome to the Dollhouse). This one is unique. Without Limits - Best movie on Steve Prefontaine. Life as a House - not as unknown, Kevin Kline is amazing. Cube - One of the strangest movies I have ever seen. Memento - Guy Pearce, very original Johnny Stecchino - One of Roberto Benigni's first movies. Hilarious. Pollock - Ed Harris as the famous artist. American History X - Edward Norton's best role.
September 23, 200916 yr American History X - Edward Norton's best role. Darn Yankees Don't think the filter will let me type the real name. Both of these are extremely well-known flicks.
September 23, 200916 yr Both of these are extremely well-known flicks. From people of that time when the movie came out. Many of my generation and younger wouldn't know them. How about Court Jester with Danny Kaye. I am sure huge when it came out but unknown today.
September 23, 200916 yr A classic. On a related note, Andy Griffith did a bit nearly 60 years ago called "What it was, was football." Classic. My parents had that routine on reel-to-reel tape with a few other comics, Homer and Jethro, the guy who did sound effects, etc. I think I'll get me another Big Orange. :thumb:
September 23, 200916 yr Strange movie. My friend watched it and told me what it is about. VERY strange indeed...
September 23, 200916 yr No time for Sargents-Andy Griffith-this was the first time him and Don Knotts worked together.
September 23, 200916 yr I watched that movie in theaters and I will never watch it again. I have a degree in history and a particular focus on military history. There was nothing I enjoyed about that movie except seeing the end credits appear on the screen. I liked the battle scenes. I thought they did a pretty good job. It's not a block buster but I found it entertaining.
September 24, 200916 yr I liked the battle scenes. I thought they did a pretty good job. It's not a block buster but I found it entertaining. Given the budget they had AND the hype leading up to it, it SHOULD have been one. It was a flop because it was long, boring and didn't have dialogue so much as it had monologues that just happened to occur within a short span of time of each other. It's nothing personal against you Ets, its just that I had higher expectations when I saw it in theaters. That and I still don't find it a good movie outside of my expectations.
September 25, 200916 yr It might not be a great one but I used to love the movie Private Eyes when I was little. Don Knotts and Tim Conway.
