    Favorite overlooked movies: "With Honors" with Brandon Fraser and Joe Pesci......Pesci plays a homeless man and Fraser is a college student, I LOVED this movie

    "Butterflies are Free" with Goldie Hawn and Edward Albert, Goldie Hawn is a free spirit who moves next door to a blind man (Albert). She is her usual nutty self!

    "Magic" where Anthony Hopkins plays a ventriloquist

    A couple of movies I'll watch again and again: "Arthur", "Mrs. Doubtfire", "Unfaithfully Yours" (Dudley Moore version), "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and "Imitation of Life".

    Shredded families and ruined lives;
    The WBTS has MUCH to answer for......

    chasson,

    Is someone has seen the french's movie: Amlie Poulain ?


    YES! It was delightful and bewildering, but I actually prefer Delicatessen and City of Lost Children (from the same director).

    It is nice to see a old thread of mine resurrected. And speaking of resurrection, GentlyFarel, the director of Amelie also directed Alien: Resurrection.

    An Imitation of Life. 1959 with Lana Turner. Good movie. Main plot is a bit trite(Poor widow becomes famous actress). But, the subplot takes on racism and "passing". And for the time, a very honest and painful, take at it.

    Bulworth with Warren Beatty and Halle Barry. I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Original plot and outrageously hilarious with a ton of cussing. Gets a little preachy though, and I had to ignore the overt liberal "message" being sent. Still, it's worth it just for the "crap cakes" scene. Probably one of the reasons this movie didn't get more Oscar nominations.

    Welcome to the Dollhouse An independent film. A nerdy girl's hellish ride through puberty. Older nerdy brother and "princess" younger sister. If you like quirky films, this is one of them.
