Oh yeah, and Die Hard, too. Man, there are a lot of great films that I've seen and just don't have room for.

I just rank what I like to watch, and more often than not, those consist of classic, action, and animated movies. But I tend to like everything I guess.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

I've actually been surprised with a lot of Tom Hanks' pre-Forrest Gump material. You always hear talk about how he was just a wacky throwaway comedy guy before that movie, but a lot of the films he did in that period were surprisingly good.

I think my favorite movie of his, besides the Toy Storys, is Apollo 13.

Speaking of Hanks, have you seen him in costume as Walt for Saving Mr. Banks? Not as impressive as Anthony Hopkins as Hitch, but it's not too bad.

He was really good in Big, too. I also dug That Thing You Do (though I think that was post-FG) as an interesting look at 60s-era pop music.

No, I haven't seen the picture? How weird is it?  :sweat:

That's actually better than I was expecting.

I'm just happy that they aren't getting Meryl Streep to play Travers. The girl can't do accents to save her life.

Funny, because I was just thinking it would be a shame to get her. She's a great actress, but her accents are so cartoonish.

They wanted her, but got Emma Thompson instead. Good call, since y'no, she's actually British.
