Yea you're right. Airheads also starred Adam Sandler I think. Didn't High Fidelity come out recently? Like maybe a year or two ago. One of my fave movies is Grosse Pointe Blank, which also stars John Cusack. You guys would probably laugh at some of my all-time faves..Grosse Point Blank, Mask of Zorro (Catherine Zeta-Jones is just TOO DAMN HOT!), Dumb and Dumber, etc.

please don't confuse high fidelity and airheads...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] High Fidelity was written by my favorite author, Nick Hornby and turned into a movie by my favorite actor, John Cusack. Some people don't like the movie much and some love it. I think it is one of the best that I have seen, plus it sort of typlifies my love life. Not to mention, Rob Gordon likes to make his "top 5" lists in which I can identify. That is something that I am always thinking about. (top 5 mavs, top 5 songs, top 5 movies, etc...)

High Fidelity was the bomb, one of the few DVD's I own. John Cusack + a cameo from The Boss makes it a must have.
I'm with Murph on Dumb and Dumber. The greatest comedy of our generation at the very least!! |

Reeds- Let it ride was a pretty sweet movie. I thought I knew how it was going to end, but was way off. I like movies that suprise me a little. Another good gambling flick is Rounders starring Matt Damon and Ed Norton. Who knew that two guys playing poker could be so exciting to watch?

BBL,
I like "Lola rennt". It´s not the best move I´ve seen, but still pretty good. "Der Krieger und die Kaiserin" is another Tom Tykwer Movie which is decent. When it comes to german Movies I have to recommend "23" by Hans-Christian Schmidt, with the great german actor August Diehl. "23" is the best german movie I´ve ever seen and it´s also one of the best movies overall (should have been Nr.3 on my list). If you like Ghost Dog BBL, you probably would like "Dead Man" too. They are both from the same director: Jim Jarmusch. He´s pretty famous in the world of independent movies. He also did "Night on Earth" and "Stranger than Paradise" to name just two others. |
