Sometimes a guilty pleasure?

This is one of Brooks' best. The Little and Wilder combination is magic, and the townsfolk characters all play their parts well. . . . Mongo only pawn in game of life. Alex Karras surprises. . . . I'm so tired. Madeline Kahn will always be missed; she died way too early. And the most stunning performance is turned in by Harvey Korman. Who would have guessed how well he would do on the big screen? Another interesting aspect is the way Brooks mixes the "real" world with the movie world. I love scripts that blend the real with the fictional.

One of my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. I can't remember how many times I've seen this, but it never fails to make me chuckle -- all the way through. Jimmy Buffet, you son-of-a-son-of-a- . . . gun, move over. Coconut Pete has your number.

As funkily dated as this movie seems -- and I think it seemed that way even when it came out -- it's still a very good action movie. Snake Plissken is an anti-hero for the 70s and for all time. Up the system!

When I say that this is the least satisfying of the Ginger & Fred movies, I want you to understand two things. First, it was their first together so they were cast in supporting roles. Hence they are not meant to dominate the scene. Second, they were paired, I believe, by happenstance, but you can believe that once the power brokers saw what they had done, they rubbed their hands together with great glee and just knew that they would have to make more movies with this charismatic couple. Thus the string began.

So while this may be the least satisfying of the Ginger and Fred series, that's because it functioned as the discovery of Ginger and Fred. As it is, they are still great together -- and they only got better.

This is definitely, from a historical perspective on them, a Rogers and Astaire must-see. You will only appreciate what came later all the more. And quite frankly, the airplane wing dancing is the bomb, even without them.

Ai ya! I went back to reread my review of this, only to find it had been wiped out. What a bummer. I know Joanna and I reviewed it on the same day.

Anyway, this one is still a great little gem of a movie. I don't know what I was expecting when I first saw it, but I was not expecting much. As such, it exceeded my expectations and then some. I especially like the Weedbag dream sequence, and Neil Patrick Harris is terrific -- by the way, he's one of the great parts of the sequel. Lot of laughs with this one. I watch this every time I run across it. I'll not be doing that with Guantanamo Bay.

I'm having another one of those mirages, and this one's a beauty.

Definitely one of the highest ranked on my all-time guilty-pleasure list. The kangaroo is adorable, and it's possibly the best you'll ever see Estella Warren look. Whoo hoo! Coincidentally, Warren herself is also about as high up my guilty-pleasure list as she can be : ) Oh, Canada! Brains and beauty. Yup, it's a cliché -- but clichés become clichés for a reason.

All right, I admit it, this is the most romantic moment of my life --

And now it's over.

No matter how many times I see this, I never get tired of it. A cult classic? I don't know. And Jennifer Aniston is stellar. Another underappreciated acting talent, definitely.

This is a rare one where you can definitely say the movie was better than the book. Inconceivable! A Reiner classic. Wally Shawn should have won an Academy Award.

Best moment is when Winslet says she'll never let go and then wrenches DiCaprio's cold, dead hand from her arm. Glug, glug, glug . . .

I watch this every time I run across it. Aside from the famous restaurant scene, I can totally relate to the great wagon wheel table debate sequence, and those darn blind dates.. And I'm a sucker for romance and New Year's Eve with "Auld Lang Syne" booming in the background.
