A movie I seem to watch whenever it pops up on TV...That thing you do
Watch his appearance on Inside the Actor's studio on why he changed from Larry to Lawrence. He credits Roscoe Lee Brown when in a play together who refused to call him Larry. It coincided with his change in parts and skills as an actor.That's me too. Because I enjoy watching movies with others, especially with those who haven't yet seen the movie, I get frustrated when they aren't interested if so-and-so is i the movie because they can't stand him or her in real life. But I forget the real life person and get lost in the whole movie package of which interesting or compelling characters are part of the whole. So I can still enjoy "The China Syndome" or "On Golden Pond" even if it does star Jane Fonda; I can enjoy "Maverick" even with a Mel Gibson in it; I can enjoy "Cadence" even with a Charlie Sheen in it; I can enjoy "The Towering Inferno" even with O.J. Simpson in it, etc. As a conservative, I can enjoy "An American President" and "Dave" even with their more liberal themes and even pull for the characters in them to succeed.
Nevertheless, the Hollywood 'establishment' will applaud or turn thumbs down on a film purely because of its sociopolitical emphasis.
I think Cadence is a movie that fits this thread. Excellent flick that no one I know has seen. And a point of trivia : Lawrence Fishburn is listed as Larry in the credits.
Oh speaking of "Larry" Fishburne...
"Boys in the Hood" (fuck New Jack City) which got him nominated for an Oscar and the much forgotten "King of New York" where he 'created' the first 'hip hop gangsta' with Jimmy Jump.
And for Westley Snipes:
Demolition Man.... MARVELOUS!
U.S. Marshals.... far better than expected sequel to "The Fugitive".
I truly adore A Knight's Tale, one of Heath Ledger's better roles!

Okay, is "Brokeback Mountain" a Heath Ledger movie EVERYONE wants to forget?
That movie was off the hook messed up!
I have been a Bob Hope fan since I was a little girl, and while everyone (who knows anything at all about classic movies) remembers his "Road" movies, most people seem to have forgotten that he made a Christmas movie, "The Lemon Drop Kid". Funny thing is, this is the movie for which "Silver Bells" was written. Everyone knows the song, almost no one knows where it came from.
What's the name of that pirate movie he was in! I still remember the ordering of 'a short beer' scene.I have been a Bob Hope fan since I was a little girl, and while everyone (who knows anything at all about classic movies) remembers his "Road" movies, most people seem to have forgotten that he made a Christmas movie, "The Lemon Drop Kid".

No, not me.
What the hell is wrong with that movie??
Ok, some don't like Ledger, then fine...or is it because of the plot??
I happen to think Heath and Jake both played their characters very well.......and it really was a sad story.
A Knight's Tale was one of Ledger's earlier roles, and I liked him then!!!
I was hesitant about watching Brokeback Mountain, but then decided to watch and I'm glad I did.
The movie was made nicely.....I own the DVD, that's how much I liked it.
But it's not a movie I would want to watch over and over again.
Not because of the plot, but because it's so sad.

I liked it too. I just tossed it out there expecting an onslaught from the anti-gay folks who post here regularly.

How about "The Court Jester". Danny Kaye at his prime. On par with "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" another gem.
Shining Through. A surprising WW2 spy flick. Melanie Griffith as a cook in a german household to get secret nazi plans is quite something. I think Liam Neeson is in that as well, and Michael Douglas.
