    Two protagonists with their develompment somewhat derailed by being raised by an over-whelmed single mom. But the lack of supervision gives them time to get into the hijinks that drive the plot.

    The Rob Reiner/Rob Reiner smackdown is set up.

    I just mean emotionally. My vote is locked in. I thought the 'Shack needed defending.

    I voted Toots. But I could be persuaded to go back. There are some underappreciated nuances in Caddyshack. I should be peeved at the boy-them-working-class-Irish-sure-overbreed opening, but I'm not.

    Playing Molly's mom was Mary Stuart Masterson's real mom. I'm just saying. I don't know why. It's a matter of record that Paul Dooley is one of the best dads on film ever.

    Parts of it made me want smack that guy. And I could live without seeing the music videos ever again. On the other hand, I didn't know a Coldplay song could break my heart. And I thank them for that.

    Well, the story behind it is that Harry had a fever and was tired of fighting and he asked Spielberg if he could just shoot the guy. I think the consequences go beyond the scene.

    I'm going with Bill Murray in a strong supporting role.

    I'm going Indy, but it's close. And I'm'a tell you. The big flaw of this film is the big laugh one gets when he blows away the scimitar guy. God help you if you think about why you laughed. That shot changes everything about his character and our attitudes about ourselves. He's no longer a brave guy in deep trying rescue his girl and save a precious relic from the exploitation of madmen --- even though he doesn't believe in it's power. He's an American jerk. (OE: Did I say this the previous round?)

    Yeah, I met him too. He was pretty nuts. Said the picture was completely inaccurate, except for the romance part --- an old coot having a pretty good time telling people about being the Real Crash DavisTM

    Well, he's a Met fan, and that was shot in the eighties. He should have some idea.

    WarGames bested my choice last round, but I vote for it now. Along with Romancing the Stone, it is one of two films in the running that commisioned a title song that I think didn't make it into the final cut of the movie. Romancing at least worked eight instrumental bars into it.

    I'm not so down with this. You meet some wonderful folks, and you appreciate that they have this meaning at the end of their lives. But I feel, at some level, they're being exploited. The choir director kind of rubs me bad. His tan looks fake and his attitude seems self-serving. He's sort of doing the opposite of Dewey Finn --- instead of raiding a middle school to find a band to back him in order to sustain his waning musical aspirations, he's raided a senior center. I don't want to resent him too much, because none of the seniors seem to. The videos appear to have been shot a coupla years before and they change the tone of it all to burlesque.

    I mis-voted Terminator when I wanted BR.
  15. Edgy MD
    My misvote is swinging this contest so far.

Well, you notice years later on reflection and repeat viewing, but, at the time, folks was swept away in a brand new terribly creative way.

    Melissa Mathison showing screenplay economy Stallone can only dream of. Come. Stay. Ahh... Ouch. Ouch. I'll be... right here. Bye.
  18. Edgy MD
    Um, agreed.
  19. Edgy MD
    Agreed.

    It's Elisabeth Shue vs. Elizabeth Daily in Fman's pants.

    Two things I'm not down with there: "Cruel Summer" is excellent and raises the rest of the music out of the crappy field. Ralph Macchio is tough to like and, when he sort of asks for it (like dousing Zabka as he rolls his reefer on the can), I'm sort of not rooting for him.I guess I should accept that stupid teenagers sometimes make their own trouble --- or just get over it with the thrill of Miyagi's asskicking rescue --- but what sort of asswad does that shit while dressed as a shower?
  22. Edgy MD
    At least you don't mis-vote.
  23. Edgy MD
    I think I just mis-voted.

    Pee-Wee is the only Tim Burton movie I like without reservation. Vote Pee-Wee.
