    Oh, man, Midnight Run -- now there's a great film to watch. De Niro and Grodin made a great pair.

    Another good one, and Grodin's in it, too, in a funny supporting role: Heaven Can Wait, starring Warren Beatty.

    A good, underrated sports flick I'd love to see again, since it's been so many years: All the Right Moves, with a young Tom Cruise and Craig T. Nelson as his zero-tolerance high school football coach.

    And my favorite journalism movie: Absence of Malice. Strong performance by Paul Newman, and the film that made Wilford Brimley a star as a renowned character actor.

    How could I forget Heaven Can Wait? One of my all-time favorites. Was always a Jack Warden fan.

    "Let me tell you about the time I almost died."

    I thought it was all right. Just hadn't heard about it a while

    I never considered "Carlito's Way" underrated. Great movie. "You think you're big time! You're gonna fucking die big time!"

    "Midnight Run" was another good one and bordered on great when they let De Niro and Grodin just talk. Dennis Farina had some awesome lines. "You and that other dummy better start getting more personally involved in your work, or I'm gonna stab you in the heart with a pencil.
