Thanks. I really don’t know why I like that movie so much. Some other odd ones are the 3 Tremors movies. Yeah, I know. Very, very odd.
That was much better than the remake.
Momma was wrong most chocolate you can look in the lid.
the ‘greatest film character of all time
is not yet extant....it will be whomever portrays JOHN GALT in the upcoming movie ‘ATLAS SHRUGGED’
“The horror”
Agree. And additional points for snubbing the Oscars.
George C. Scott was a flaming liberal.
I used to have the LP from Dr Z...
Omar Shariff was great...
Save Ferris!
NOTHING!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! YOU SOOO STUPID!!
I love that movie. It's sooo stupid.
“Say ‘Ferris Bueller’ and you lose a testicle.”
“Oh, you know him?”
“Blackhawk Down”
Hoot to Sgt blaming himself for fallen under his command
“It ain’t up to you, it’s just war”
Andalusian dog is the greatest film character of all time!
BTW:
Ah always wets muh keys when I'm a fixin' tuh do some real postin'.
“Ferris Bueller you’re my hero.” - Cameron
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris
I found the character very boring....fell asleep before the end of the movie.
Gump-Schlump. Ridiculous.
Two just off the top of my head much better, Randall McMurphy from One flew over... and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) from Goodfellas.
Jenny is the classic 1960s flower child and what happens to her?
Check out some of the reviews discussions online. Like this one:
I believe Forrest Gump is an extremely reactionary movie that promotes the value of stupidity for the masses. I think it's one of the most dangerous popular films I've ever seen. I hate it.
More here.
One comment makes the totally unconventional argument that the book was liberal and Hollywood made the movie conservative.
He honored his obligation to his friend (Bubba) by giving his mom a check, a share of the profits from the shrimping operation -- from his own money.
He mooned Lyndon Johnson.
He hired his disabled veteran friend (and former commander).
He remained loyal to the girl he loved. He not only made money, he gave some of it to a church.
He was actively raising his son.
Awfully conservative, that.
Well, maybe not mooning LBJ...
