3. "Say Hello to my Little Friend"
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 07:39 PM by theshadow
Truly a line for the ages. "Untouchables" was such a farce (for those purists who know the history of Eliot Ness anyway).

4. Scarface had a good political message
For some reason, most people overlook that part

5. ah! i love brian depalma... my vote is for dressed to kill
he will be best remembered for scarface, but i think that dressed to kill is the most super-saturated with his touch (which of course lends itself to hitchcock)... i love his use of panavision

7. I kind of liked "Casualties Of War"
I don't think such a film, critical of military command could be made today. Sean Penn gave a great performance.

Cliff Robertson and Geneviève Bujold. Gosh I haven't seen it in years and I should rent it again.

edit: for the "è"
