Not only is this a touchstone for growing up in the 90s, the movie boasts a bevy of before-they-were-stars appearances by Jason Segel, Breckin Meyer, Alyson Hannigan, and Selma Blair. Also, "Mike Dexter is a GOD, Mike Dexter is a ROLE MODEL!"
After the first movie, we realize reality happened. They never met like they'd planned. But, sometimes, we get a second chance at love. Call me a romantic, but, in my mind, Jesse is still in Paris, probably with kids now.
This HBO movie tells the story of how Citizen Kane was made and makes that movie even more enjoyable knowing its wild ride to theaters. There's also John Malkovich playing a soused screenwriter.
The whole movie is a masterful piece of storytelling, but the twist at the end makes you reevaluate everything you've just seen. I've re-watched this flick dozens of times, and I'm still not sure I understand the true importance of that last scene.
I'm a big fan of most of Hitchcock's work, but this movie really hit a chord. Usually, the smart detective gets a huge lucky break to solve the crime, but not this time. The bad guy is incredibly smart; the good guy is just smarter. Also, Grace Kelly is stunning.
Rob Gordon. He loves music, makes bad decisions, compiles lists, and -- seriously -- organizing my record collection autobiographically does sound incredibly comforting.
I never truly "loved" this movie, but I sure do hate it. I don't understand what all the fuss was about now. It's a formulaic script that occasionally makes me smirk and more often makes me groan. Sidenote: I REALLY like the first sequel, though most others seem to disagree with my taste.
Danny McBride, James Franco, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel in a movie by the director of Pineapple Express. And yet, it was horrible. See also, Movie #11.
18 - A movie that you wish more people would’ve seen
Sadly, when I say I love this film, most people think I'm talking about the Will Ferrell soccer movie. Nope. I mean the movie about finding yourself after graduating undergrad while simultaneously realizing you screwed things up with a wonderful woman.
26 - A movie that you love but everyone else hates
Especially women. They seem to fall somewhere in the "don't like" and "loathe" range of the spectrum. It's got some great performances, a fantastic soundtrack, and some really clever film production, though. In addition, see Fred Savage smoke with his belly button.
Wes Anderson is probably my favorite director due to simple consistency. Since I've already listed Rushmore, though, I'm going with another great film that is definitely on par.
I watched this movie every day in elementary school. I knew every word. My mother was a really good sport considering how often I said, "Keep firing, Assholes!"
Excellent choices & taste! Nice to see love for Kicking & Screaming, Dial M for Murder, Groundhog Day, & Spaceballs. And while I refuse to watch either of Portman's films listed here, from what I saw in the trailers for both I understand what you mean there.
I went with Rob Gordon too
