2 Usual Suspects

3 Miller’s Crossing

7 48 Hours

10 Midnight Run

11 Alien Nation

Right around the time all the young talent is ready to contend is when the organization will realize that Ron Washington is the wrong man for the job.

you are better off going with my #12

than wyoranger’s #12. I’m extremely confident that Castor Troy was in Face/Off, played by Nicholas Cage and John Travolta.

If that was a joke

It was terrible.

If those were real guesses, that was pathetic.

Either way, failure.

Venkman

Ghostbusters.

But that river of tears has dried for all of us.

Would it be comical?

If I said none of those even register? Mark me either total fail, or WD (withdrawn)

Are some shitty movies.

Come on Brett...

Usual Suspects is easily in my top 5 all time.

I’m also a big fan of Kevin Smith. Ghostbusters and Fight Club are also very good.

4- the news guy from the stupid hula-hoop movie with Tim Robbins

I think Rosanne’s husband played the news guy (the fatter one from the TV show, not Tom Arnold)...embarrassed to know this movie. Also is Miller’s Crossing a good movie? haven’t seen it yet.

by Ph3 on May 6, 2008 12:47 PM CDT reply actions  

Great movie

Tons of doublecrossing and various deals, so if you don’t really sit down and watch it, by the last 3/4 you’ll be sitting there saying “what the hell is going on?”

What happened to my old signature?

by WyoRanger on May 6, 2008 1:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

hudsucker proxy?

I don’t remember the movie very well, but Tim Robbins was in it and it had a newsman. It didn’t have John Goodman in it though.

Miller’s Crossing is a great movie.

Both movies were directed by the Coen brothers. Generally a good movie if they were involved.

by Hubris on May 6, 2008 1:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

Hudsucker Proxy

It’s a film a lot of Cohen fanatics don’t like, but it’s not a stupid movie at all. I don’t know if that was the “newsman’s” name or not, but if people are talking about the newspaper editor that was played by the guy who played Frasier’s old man.

5. Do the Right Thing

Saw it in the last month.

The rest of those…really drawing a blank. Netflix has taken me too far afield.

Go Strangers.
