Forgot about Good Will Hunting (Matt Damon’s best IMO) and American History X. Also liked Norton in 25th Hour… Barry Pepper and Seymour Hoffman also great in it.

I have so many movies that I rarely have time to watch any of them more than once. Exceptions are Blade Runner (original) and The Matrix (first one only). There are a few others I would watch again if I had the time. I also have too many DVDs to watch before I pass ( only $1 or $2 at op shops ) and had to make the decision whether to watch my favourite animes again and again and again, or watch an unseen DVD movie, So far the anime's are winning.

I loved the first Alien movie. Watched all the rest, but they were never as good after Weaver became too pervasive. The last one Weaver in was IMO <deleted>.

Glengarry was another good one. Lot of cursing but realistic. Seeing Lemmon that way and remembering him in the Odd Couple as a completely different actor is eye opening, with Grumpy Old Men being sorta in the middle.

You surprise me, with a name like Britman. The scene where Hackman opens a can a whoopazz on Richard Harris (English Bob) I think is why they gave Clint the Oscar. At least he didn't get to sing that damned song about a cake in a park in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't put anyone on a pedestal, including actors and sports figures. They are good at what they do, period. He was a good actor. You'd have to see him in more than the Odd Couple to understand what he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
