Rio Bravo - Such a great, great movie. It's long, but it never drags. You just feel like you're spending a week with these characters. And I'd forgotten how strong the opening is. I didn't time it, but it felt like about 5 minutes without any dialog, and yet you get a clear definition of three of the main characters. One of the best Westerns ever made.
The Big Lebowski - We've already talked about this movie this year, so I won't say too much. I just adore this one. It still makes me laugh. There are so many subtle things going on with The Dude that are easy to ignore, like his habit of repeating other people's dialog from previous scenes. So, so good. Probably this should be on my Top 5 in place of one of the others.

Cameron Crowe is such a bad ass.

I didn’t go for the shoot days and missed my chance to act alongside Craig and Driver.
Missed your chance to show off your 'No Regerts' tattoo.

You so fucked up.

I will admit to one brilliant James Spader moment which was out of character but SO hilarious, it's when Hulk manages to jump into a shuttle being piloted by Ultron and it all happens off-camera, you just hear James Spader go, "oh for God's sake!" before being forcibly ejected from his aircraft. Too funny.
But yeah, i much prefer the low-key Marvel movies to these new mega extravaganza blitzkriegs.
I wonder if Star Wars will be similar....

That's a GREAT movie! I saw it when it came out! Over the top crazy skiing scenes, naked girls in a Jacuzzi, this was pretty hot stuff back in 1984.
Back then you didn't have hi-def big screens in your house, and no Internet, so if you wanted to see something in high quality you had to go to a movie to see it. You didn't have much choice of shows either. Seeing the kick-ass skiing footage that we take for granted today was worth the trip. The storyline was just there to string together the ski scenes, the equivalent of a porn film with no option to fast-forward. VCRs were out but all you could rent was films, so if you wanted to see big-ass skiing this was your ticket. Better Off Dead came out the following year with more ski scenes.
The ladies in the Jacuzzi -- icing on the cake. That was just to close the deal with non-skiers.
This was more or less a hedonist trip to the theater at the time. I knew people that went three and four times because they were ski bums.

That explains it. Not a skiing fan, so once you ignore those scenes you only have a mediocre tit flick.Sagrilarus wrote:

It's been decades since I've seen it, but I believe the tits in that film were not mediocre.
