A way-underrated actor's best movie poll

[Raenelle]

It's Warren Beatty

[fertilizeonarbusto]

1. I love

"Reds," "Bonnie and Clyde, "Bugsy," And "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," but how could you not list "Shampoo" and "Bullworth"?

[Raenelle]

2. Doh! I luhoooove Bullworth. And he is totally hot in Shampoo.

Thanks.

[soleft]

3. not a moron, but what about Bulworth

[Aristus]

4. Gotta put a plug in for "Reds".

I saw it when I was thirteen. It should have been 'just a long, boring movie' for a kid like me. But I was absolutely fascinated by it. Incredible piece of film making. It opened my eyes to the Communist workers movement in Russia and in the United States of the time. I still think Communism is a really bad idea, but it grew from good intentions. And it was good to get a lucid historical perspective on it, instead of just a ignorant hatchet job. You know: "Comma-nizm is jes' bay-add. Un-Amurikan!"

The marching songs sung by the Moscow Radio Choir were captivating. They did what they were supposed to do: pump you up and inspire you to the cause. (I wasn't inspired by the cause; I just liked the music.)

[Raenelle]

5. My vote was for Reds. But I was torn between that and Splendor

in the Grass--best chick flick of all time--well, really tied with The Way We Were.

I'm surprised Splendor hasn't been voted for yet.

BTW, I teach American History and I show that movie to my class. It's scheduled for today which is what inspired me to put up the poll.

6. Did you leave out Ishtar on purpose?

Just kidding! :-)

[Raenelle]

7. Also left out on purpose, Dick Tracy and, though I liked it,

An Affair to Remember.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

11. I always though "Ishtar" was kind of funny

I liked "Howard the Duck," too, so you might not want to go by my movie recommendations.

[displacedvermoter]

14. I thought Ishtar was hilarious

but I've been literally booed out of a room when I said I thought the movie was pretty funny. Maybe unintentionally so?

[On the Road]

8. "Bullworth" is Worth Listing

[LynneSin]

9. So sue me, I loved Bullworth

:shrug:

Then again I love Sex and the City!

[Raenelle]

10. Oh yeah. Sex and the City. My very favorite show.

n/t

[peekaloo]

12. The Parallax View

great movie for the :tinfoilhat: in all of us.

I also enjoyed 'The Fortune' w/Jack Nicholson and an insanely funny Stockard Channing.

[Raenelle]

15. Another Doh! The Parallax View. Never saw The Fortune.

Thanks.

[VOX]

13. "Shampoo." Rollickingly funny, but politically pointed...

About the night that the right wing took over America, on election eve, 1968.

This is one of the best films about that era. Made in 1974, I believe, and it was already a period piece.

Highly recommended.

16. "Bonnie And Clyde" by a hair over "McCabe & Mrs. Miller"
