Menudo Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yes, I'm about 10 years late on this. Have there ever been movies that you know or heard were good, but, you just never got around to watching them ? This was one of those for me. I just watched it the other night, and I was blown away by Pacino's performance. I never could put Pacino up with the likes of Deniro or Nicholson, but, this movie might inch him closer. It was definitely his best performance since the Godfather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

untateve Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I've never seen Gone With the Wind. (Of course I don't plan on seeing it either.) My favorite movie. My guess is that it's a little long for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to ask: Is your second favorite movie The Birth of a Nation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Still haven't seen Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. I heard there was a really hot chick in the movie that worked in the bike shop. Honestly, I can't even begin to count up the amount of good/great movies that I've missed seeing over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have always wanted to watch "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe", but I never have. Also, I heard the Godfather is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have always wanted to watch "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe", but I never have. Same here--especially since the Misfit says that it is about me. It was actually on television over here last week. But it was in German.

detlef Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Five Easy Pieces (only parts of it) I think that flick is completely overrated. I was just annoyed with him the entire time until it finally freaking ended. Good riddance dude. There are some great lines and solid scenes, but...

There are some great lines and solid scenes, but... i disagree. i can see why some people think it is a boring film, but i loved it. nicholson is absolutely fantastic in that...his performance there took me from thinking he was a very good actor with maybe a little too much reliance on some over-the-top scthick, to thinking he's one of the best actors ever on film.

Menudo Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 well, godfather 2, serpico, scarface and dog day afternoon were all after godfather -- and they all blow scent of a woman away. Well, I wasn't saying that the movie was better, I've seen Godfather 2 and Scarface and agree they are both better than Scent Of A Woman. I was talking about Pacino's acting performance in the movie.

It wasn't so much boring but I just didn't see what the big deal was. In general, I usually want somebody to pull for in a movie. It doesn't need to be obvious like Hoosiers or anything, but I find it irritating to watch a flick where everyone in it either inspires distaste (his character), pity (his dumb girlfriend) or nothing (basically everyone else). When you're a total loser, like he was in that flick, I don't find it entertaining that you're a smart ass because, at the end of the day, you're just some poor misguided rich kid who doesn't have enough sense to use your brain. If there's anything worse than a loser, it's a loser with an attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
