MikeJD 0 #51 June 2, 2004 Fearless, the Peter Weir film where Jeff Bridges survives the air crash. Lots of heart, and all about loss and the effect that traumatic experience has on people. The crash itself, which you finally see at the end of the film, is so affecting - this amazingly violent imagery with only classical music as the soundtrack. It'd be my favourite movie of all time if they could just remake it without Rosie Perez. She's a fine actress, but all that screeching... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #55 June 2, 2004 He has an advantage over the rest of the industry as all he has to do is switch to one of the thousands of other personalities he has whizzing round his head and hey presto - he's acting like another person.

gmanpilot 0 #56 June 2, 2004 About 28 years ago, I was 15 and had a pretty little girlfriend. One night, we went and saw two black and white movies: On the Waterfront and From Here To Eternity. They are both movies about how to be a man, and about how to stand up for what is right, and are still considered two of the best films ever made. It is rare when you can point to a specific night as having such a big influence on who you end up becoming as a man. I remember walking my girlfriend home and we were talking about integrity, honor, and stuff.......then I tried to get in her pants. A boy's gotta do what a boy's gotta do. More recently, Schindler's List made a big impression on me._________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

AlexCrowley 0 #62 December 19, 2005 I dont get the 'Robin Williams is a great actor' thing. He seems to have two speeds: Robin Williams and Robin Williams doing his sensitive guy schtick (that doesnt seem to have developed since the early 80s when he ended his standup act with some schmaltzy crap about his son or the paper guy). My tolerance for him seems to be based around the ability of the director: In my opinion he did a nice job in the Asimov robot film. The one about him going to heaven to see his dead wife however was EXACTLY the kind of crap that Im talking about. Of course, he also looks a lot like my father, so perhaps its some weird paternal issues thing. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.
