Underappreciated flicks

Road. House. End of thread.

*****

I'll also throw a vote out there for Nobody's Fool, with Paul Newman and a fantastic supporting cast ... even an understated Bruce Willis.

*****

I really like both flavors of the T.C. Affair. The scene in the gallery with all the guys dressed like the guy in the Magritte ... priceless.

I'll watch anything wih George Carlin in it, even Bill & Ted. I especially liked him in Prince of Tides and, yes, Jersey Girl.

*****

Out on the road today I saw a "Boondocks Saints" sticker on a Cadillac.

No joke ... and I did not look back. You can never look back.

 

... also, how 'bout...
"Ronin" -- with Booby D and the french dude (looked it up: Jean Reno), doing the shady weapons deal that goes awry. Great stuff.
"Sleepers" -- '96 flick with De Niro and a great cast: Kevin Bacon, Ron Eldard, Minnie Driver, Jason Patric. For those who haven't caught it, two badasses in a group of friends off a former guard at the orphanage they grew up in. Guard (Bacon) was sexually assaulting them. Other friends in group try to help badasses avoid jail time. De Niro is a priest that they all see as father-figure, who helps, too. Solid stuff.

 

Without Limits. Story of Steve Prefontaine, starring Billy Crudup and Donald Sutherland.

 

It's been years since I saw that - he rolls it first, doesn't he?

I saw "Freaks" at an art-house theater in SoCal when I was a teenager. It was on a double bill with "Eraserhead." That was a seriously strange night.

 

The original "Point Blank" with Lee Marvin.

 

Hell yes on Road House and Poolhall Junkies. Mars Callahan should get more work.

I'll add PCU, Kentucky Fried Movie, Glory Daze and Dirty Work.

 

To me the list should be topped by Midnight Run.

 

I watched Boondock Saints recently, too. Thought it was a good movie, but it was a bit overhyped to me. My expectations might have been too big going in, though.

 

Here's the scene.

Spoke four languages.

I'm a big fan of The Majestic.

 

Good call.
