thebandit27 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Gary's just not getting his due today, is he? I hadn't intended to post that twice, it just worked out well

Pete Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Amelie Great French film with subtitles. Check it out if you get a chance. Beautiful cinematography and an interesting story line. The lead actress is beautiful too. one of my favorites as well. The actress is adorable. And when she walks down the street escorting the blind man describing in detail the sights and action he can't see is one of the great movie scenes of all time
Fan in San Diego Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Gary Oldman as well. One of my favorite actors. So many good movies, The Professional, Dracula, The Fifth Element, True Romance, there are so many great movies with him in it.
Mark Vader Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Yeah, he was a complete douche. Alternately, though, I thought Tony Shalhoub was brilliant. At the time he was mostly the goofy dude on "Wings," and he completely impressed the hell out of me. Two other terrific things I've gotten from that movie: the soundtrack, and the recipe for the timpano, which came out in Stanley Tucci's cookbook Cucina & Famiglia. I bought it for the timpano recipe (which I've probably made a dozen times), but from cover to cover, it's one of our most used cookbooks. Cool, next time I'm in L.A. I will be sure to stop by for dinner, and see how good the timpano is.

Same here...I'll toss out: Air Force One Leon: The Professional Dark Knight Trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Mark Vader Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Same here...I'll toss out: Air Force One Leon: The Professional Dark Knight Trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy And "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" led to Oldman's, amazingly, first and only Oscar nomination. He was also very good in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".
frogger Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 The George Lucus classic, Howard the Duck! Also if I remember correctly, it's the first Marvel movie Trivia time...name five actors or actresses that have been in or will be in a DC comic movie and Marvel movie.

He was also very good in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". He and Michael Wincott are, IMO, the two most undercast actors in all of Hollywood. Also if I remember correctly, it's the first Marvel movie Trivia time...name five actors or actresses that have been in or will be in a DC comic movie and Marvel movie. Ben Affleck is one (Daredevil & Batman v Superman)
Mark Vader Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 He and Michael Wincott are, IMO, the two most undercast actors in all of Hollywood. Ben Affleck is one (Daredevil & Batman v Superman) I read that George Lucas originally wanted Gary Oldman to be the voice of General Grievous in Revenge of the Sith, but it never worked out. As for the trivia question I will add Ryan Reynolds (X-Men Origins: Wolverine & Green Lantern)
DC Tom Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I'm watching R.I.P.D. right now (waiting for Game of Thrones), and I believe I can say with complete confidence that it belongs nowhere near this list. What a ****-fest.
Rob's House Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Did anyone else think the 3rd Nolan Batman was ****?
Deranged Rhino Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I'm watching R.I.P.D. right now (waiting for Game of Thrones), and I believe I can say with complete confidence that it belongs nowhere near this list. What a ****-fest. Is it that bad? I heard nothing but awful things about it, but I refused to see it out of a personal gripe.
shrader Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Also if I remember correctly, it's the first Marvel movie Trivia time...name five actors or actresses that have been in or will be in a DC comic movie and Marvel movie. Do the X-Men movies count as Marvel? That would add James Marsden and Ryan Reynolds to the list. edit: And then there's Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and the Silver Surfer if the crappy FF movies count as Marvel.

IDBillzFan Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Is it that bad? I heard nothing but awful things about it, but I refused to see it out of a personal gripe. Yeah, it was terrible. I genuinely wanted it to be good because I thought the premise was terrific. But it sucked.
Dibs Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Did anyone else think the 3rd Nolan Batman was ****? Hell yes! Absolutely abysmal......particularly when compared to the excellent writing of the first two.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 Downfall was an amazing movie. It's in German with English subtitles but it doesnt even make a difference. Amazing movie CBF
DC Tom Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Is it that bad? I heard nothing but awful things about it, but I refused to see it out of a personal gripe. Not quite Roland Emmerich bad...but I still give it four and a half penguins out of five.
