What else? I thought he hated A Clockwork Orange at the time of his release, but maybe that was another critic? Also I thought True Romance was a piece of crap. I expected it to be an awesome film and it was meh at best.

Frailty- great movie

edit: Ah, didn't even read thread and noticed somebody just said this. NH.

Anybody mention California Split? I love this movie. Poker + Altman + Gould/Segal = Greatness.

One of my all time favs that is rarely mentioned is Zero Effect. Seriously everyone should watch this.

I liked Primer and Brick as well.

Following is a pre-Memento Christopher Nolan flick that was pretty good.

I also liked Croupier a whole lot, but it's kind of slow.

Click is probably the saddest movie I've ever seen.

Suzzer, Revenge is my favorite novella, by Jim Harrison. I reread it about once a year; he is phenomenal with his words. It's next to me right now. He also wrote the novella Legends of the Fall, which is within the same trilogy under the title Legends of the Fall.

I haven't seen the movie with Costner, but before I knew that it existed, I always thought that I was going to make this movie. I'm hesitant to watch it.

My favorite movie no one has heard of is Long Gone. Baseball movie from the mid 80's, HBO I think, and it's awesome. Def one of the top 5 baseball movies ever, though nobody has ever watched it.

The hero's name is Cecil 'Stud' Cantrell, and is played by William Peterson.

The heroines name is Dixie Lee Boxx, and is played by Virginia Madsen.

A failing minor league team set in the deep south that involves a lot of drinking, womanizing, and racism. There are more one liners than I can count.

Minus the deep south thing, pretty much what Major League stole from.

Ed Wood - The story of the man labeled as the worst director of all time, Edward D. Wood Jr. Johnny Depp turns in one of his better performances portraying Ed Wood and Martin Landau was absolutely brilliant as Bela Lugosi, the fading star turned morphine addict. He won the best supporting actor oscar for that role. If you've seen any of Ed Wood's movies and couldn't stop laughing through them you'd probably like this movie because it's also very funny. Wood was an interesting character to say the least and had a lot of weird people in his films. This movie did horrible at the box office, but I think it's one of the most underrated movies ever.
