BritManToo Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 American Beauty and Fight Club changed my life. After watching them I stopped working for the corporate structure. Got the same deal as Kevin & Edward, 1 year tax free salary for leaving, didn't flip any burgers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 "Cat Balue" As I was an active alcoholic at the time it came out...and being a young man...I was blown away by it. I identified so closely with it. The two lines I loved the most. No.1/ Was when the people who employed him ( Kid Charlene) to protect their boss, brought him (blind drunk) into the parlour room to show him the body of the dead boss laid out in a coffin with all the lighted candles around him...He looked at the set up through drunken eyes....and started singing ..."Happy Birthday to you"... No.2/ Was when his friends were reading out his life story to him and were at the part where he was riding alongside a train to rob it...he look at them full of excitement and asked..."What happened next". Seen it 6 times in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jingjai9 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Mine is "Goodfellas". It is a great example of what happens when some people think they can grab money without working. In the beginning all is well - power, money, and good times, but by the end the wiseguys have to look over their shoulders every minute of the day to avoid violence. Well cast, well directed and I understand quite accurate in covering the life of Henry Hill. The events in the story are altered due to time limits in a movie. According to the book "Wise Guys", the movie did not even touch on all of Henry's businesses, such as rigging college basketball games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the few films that I would give a 10 out of 10 rating for if I was doing a review on IMDB and Ice Cold in Alex is another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
