I remember falling in love with "Enchanted April" the Friday
night (at least, I think it was a Friday night) that it was given
its first relatively wide release in America.

I love, love, LOVE Hudson Hawk. "She will be presiding over tonight's auction of objet d'equestrian - horse things." One of my favorite lines in any movie, lol.
I liked Reservoir Dogs before everyone jumped on the Tarantino bandwagon.

Abe has a wider range than Martin. Abe made a great vampire movie, (the name escapes me); can you see Martin making a vampire movie or even wanting to? Don't get me wrong: a new Scorcese is always a treat, but his love for gangstas has limited his movie-making scope. Ferrara plays with genres and with b+w flicks as well.

P.S. Beware seeing the cut (R-Rated) version of Bad Lieutenant. See it uncut.

One of my favorite movies that was largely overlooked was a little gem called "Scarecrow." It starred Gene Hackman and Al Pacino. Well worth a look with this great team-up of actors. Excellent drama. Keep the hankies nigh with that wicked ending.

P.S. Might as well throw in that other overlooked Hackman film, "The Conversation." It never really found an audience, but I always try to catch it at the revival theaters. Loved to own a Special Super Duper Edition DVD of this movie.

Both worth the price of admission, particularly The Conversation. Been years since I've seen either.

I liked Equilibrium before it became popular. I saw Hudson Hawk in the theater and was shocked it was so disliked. Same for Alien 3. I wanted to see Starship Troopers the first time I saw it advertised and I will always maintain it was a great film. Paul Verhoeven pulled the best performances you could possibly ask for out of a bunch of B actors (save for Michael Ironside and Clancy Brown, two of the greatest villain actors EVER).
But when was Titanic not popular?

I saw the Titanic with my daughter. She loved it. I hated it. I kept HOPING for it to be over...
