Vampire Movies - sink your teeth into this one...

[FlyingSorcery]

Yup, right up there with Tom Hanks.

[DavidEB310]

C'mon now...Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, Robin Hood Prince of Theives, and that pairing of Costner and Don Johnson in Tin Cup -- that beats any Cage movie hands down.

I really do Love Field of Dreams and Bull Durham -- fun flicks and...(Susan Sarandon yum...)

[piqaboo]

I think Tom Hanks is very good, and I like Nicholas Cage's version of quirkiness.

Costner is on again, off again. WaterWorld ranks as one of the worlds all time bad movies - bad acting being most of the problem, and bad premises making it worse.

'Stars" tend to recreate the same character over and over. I could be pursuaded Cage does that.

Actors create each character afresh. Hanks seems to be a completely different person in each film. DeNiro is amazing at that too. Even his character's "quirks" differ from film to film.

I'll take Glenn Close over Sarandon (Janet, Janet...)

[DavidEB310]

I wouldn't take Glenn Close BEFORE or AFTER Fatal Attraction.

Sarandon in a short skirt with white sox in Bull Durham -- words cannot be expressed...

She's even yummier in The Hunger!

[treebeau]

I don't like a Nicholas Cage movie, usually, but have enjoyed some:
1. Raising Arizona ("Her insides were like a rocky place on which my seed could find no purchase")
2. Moonstruck ("I lost my hand!")
3. The Rock
4. Face Off
5. Honeymoon in Vegas

Maybe 1 or two more.

I thought Glenn Close was phenomenal in "Fatal Attraction". Has anyone ever had the experience of that intense a character whom they can't extricate from their life? When Glenn Close utters the line "I won't be IGNORED, Dan!" Well-makes me glad there are no pet bunnies around the house!

And Sarandon is also fantastic. Loved her in "Thelma an Louise" Wild Women at their best!

Face Off
City of Angels

[treebeau]

Yes, my ex wife, who a friend and I refer to as PBH...the Psycho Bitch from Hell.

Regards,
Tim B.

[DavidEB310]

I'm not against Glenn Close as an actor...I just don't find her attractive to my tastes.

* Susan Sarandon -- attractive to me in all roles
* Laura Dern -- in Jurassic Park (not quite sure why?)
* Nicole Kidman -- I'm a guy; no explanation required
* Geena Davis -- to get kidnapped by Thelma and Louise (yeah, I could conjure up a fantasy...)
* Rene Russo -- HEY, that's why I like Tin Cup!

Now that was a DUMB movie. Unbelievable premise, unbelievable characters, predictable script. :p

Needless to say, it won't join my DVD collection. Almost as bad as The Quick and the Dead.

Oops, wrong thread.

Tim- Hard to believe how things start out one way and end up another! PBH sounds like a female Bin Laden! There's a lot of press about men stalkers, but I always feel men often get the short end of the legal"stick", women are not held accountable to the same standard as men. Fatal Attraction was one of the first movies about women stalkers...

One word:

Legs.

[DavidEB310]

barfle,

That's IT! Same reason I married my wife who is also blonde...

As for treebeau and your reference to PBH -- we couldn't have both been married to the same woman, could we? Mine is somewhere in the Boston area...

[sadie]

Yikes good thing I'm not in Boston! I'll keep an eye out for her though! I can't imagine how mild mannered reporters end up with PBH- no hints at the outset?

Now imagine if the characters in Fatal Attraction had kids together-plot twist time!

Sorry, Tim.
In the Northeast the courts act like Vampires, suck men's blood and show no mercy!- hope down south they are more fair.

Sadie- you've got that right. Tim's wife really did a number on him - in all the wrong ways.

It's sad that women can legally do that to a man. Who is to say that 100% of the time children are better off with the mother?? I know quite a few cases where that is not right.
<sigh> Maybe within the next few years, we'll make headway in our culture and it will be ok for there to be single, divorced dads.
