My wife and I watched the old flick, To Have and Have Not, this past weekend, with Bogart and Bacall. Good acting from them, but generally a poor film and a real dud of an ending. I never realized Bacall was such a scarecrow at the time. Her body looks like Frank Sinatra's with shoulder pads.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
Hmm interesting mix there Grunty
I watched Gandhi, A Few Good Men, and some movie with Andie McDowell and an appearance by Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn).

Most of the old movies with Bogart were not exactly amazing plot wise, it was usually the acting that shone through. Anyone remember "The treasure of Sierra Madre" that was mostly crap, and so obvious, but the acting was still excellent - if a little over done. I enjoyed "To have and Have Not" but you are right it's plot is a little basic
@Grunt, i enjoyed the film, i but i have to agree Kauffman wasn't that funny, he just seemed offensive.....reminds me of Ubik
I'd have to get drunk every night and talk about virility...And those Pink elephants I'd see.
Andy Kaufman was one of those guys that you either loved or hated. I never cared for him, but the fact that Man on the Moon made you either love or despise him speaks of Jim Carrey's acting ability.
Speaking of which . . . Carrey is one of those guys that people refuse to take seriously because they think of him as Lloyd Christmas (Dumb and Dumber), Ace Ventura, or Fireman Bill. But if you look at his dramatic roles in The Truman Show, Man on the Moon, and the previews of the upcoming The Majestic, he's actually a pretty good actor.
Over the holiday weekend two of the greatest movies ever made were on TV: A Christmas Story and Airplane. The only thing better would have been to throw in Young Frankenstien and The Blues Brothers.
Jesus saves! And takes half damage!

Yeah, but ask me about Titanic and I'm dead in the water (pun intended). My sister saw it something like a million times, but I have never once watched it either in the theater or on video. I just have no desire to watch the boat sink. To each his own . . .
By the way, Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys was on last week and it was just as good for the gazillionth time as it was the first; gotta love Yukon Cornelius and Hermey the wannabe dentist.
