As far as "Bull Durham" goes I vaguely remember seeing it a long time ago. I just read that Sports Illustrated called it the #1 sports movie EVER MADE. I must have been smoking something when I saw it, because I BARELY remember it. I would definitely place the Bball movie "Hoosiers" above it. And really there must be some more recent sports movies that are better than the BOTH of them......even maybe "Butthead and Beavis Do Lacrosse".
.......Oh I just thought of a REAL movie.......it was about a foreign film about a women's soccer team in IRAN.The plot was something like ....the girl's mother didn't want her to show her legs or else she would NOT get a good husband or some such nonsense. The plot was thin and hokey, but somehow it worked out to a good movie. Actually, I have seen several good movies from Iran and that surprised me. I have even seen a good series or 2 from Pakistan, strangely enough. One was about a detective......very good!
.,.,..Oh, and I just thought of another good (and old) movie that I think was better than "Bull Durham" and about as good as "Hoosiers". That would be that old movie with Charlton Heston where he is an AGING quarterback who tries a last-minute QBack sneak into the goal line. He gets hit really real HARD. Then in the last scene the camera shows blood coming out of his ear. Not a Doctor, but that is BAD. And I like that TYPE of ending.....like did he die or not ??????

JFK was good.

Yes, the critics ALL noticed that.

38% on the Tomato meter.....that is harsh. I kind of liked it.

I picked it. I liked it. Love those gills behind the ears and The Valdez was pretty cool to put in there. And I like the actor that played the Ship Captain. I know that the critics panned it, but...........whatever.

Wow 8% on the Tomato Meter. I never saw one that low. That means that "Waterworld" was about 3 times as good. I think I saw "The Postman". It was about after the Apocolypse one guy tries to make the world right by delivering mail. That's all I remember about it. It must have been very forgettable.

AKA "The Wet Postman"...

Mel Brooks gave him a good hearted dig about that...

There's a line in "Robin Hood, Men in Tights", where Carey Elwes responds to an inquiry asking why the people would follow "him"...

He replied, "Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent!"

But it had Tom Petty in it!

Kevin Costner's best role was in "The Big Chill"...

Haha

'Gone with the Wind.'
Thought his makeup and portrayal of Clark Gable as Rhet Butler was absolutely brilliant! :icon_wink:

Nice, yeah...

I found Field of Dreams interesting because even though the story itself was sort of sketchy, there were a lot of real people being represented by the actors. Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe Jackson, for example. The part played by James Earl Jones, the character of Terrance Mann, was actually based on J.D. Salinger, who in real life was a famous author as well as a well-known recluse, which I thought that Jones brought out brilliantly. And Archibald ("Moonlight") Graham was a real person as well: he actually did only appear in one major-league baseball game, and practiced medicine in Chisholm, MN (about 40 miles from where I grew up) for decades. His philanthropy was well-known. For example, he would collect old eyeglasses and then, on specified Saturdays, fit kids whose parents otherwise couldn't afford them with glasses.

And I loved that the field in Field of Dreams was an Iowa cornfield. Can't get more middle-American and Everyman than that. Interestingly, that field still exists. I think one major-league game was played on it, with plans for more.

I actually liked Waterworld.

Ditto. I particularly liked Dennis Hopper, who played the Deacon of the 'Deez.

And then, of course, there's Jeanne Tripplehorn...

Dennis Hooper was excellent.

I liked her in "The Firm", but her movie career seemed to have ended with "Waterworld". Since then, it has been mainly TV.

I liked her as Dr. Garner in Basic Instinct.
