He's kind of a caricature of a Hollywood slob, going to Laker games and sitting in courtside seats to stay in the spotlight and living off his roles and reputation from losg ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024210672199702325.post-45518764259233501852012-05-10T08:37:27.499+05:302012-05-10T08:37:27.499+05:30I saw the Last Detail a couple of years ago on TV,...I saw the Last Detail a couple of years ago on TV, and found it rather silly. Strange to see what happened to Randy Quaid, looks wise, between that film and Brokeback Mountain.

So maybe, if I were to see all the films again today, I might end up with your ranking. I'd also like to watch Carnal Knowledge again, my memory of it is very faint, and I watched it on a very bad VHS tape.Girish Shahanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877402074547726173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024210672199702325.post-81865564896126010452012-05-09T13:22:43.650+05:302012-05-09T13:22:43.650+05:30Girish

I'd put The Shining #2, Five Easy Pieces #3, About Schmidt #4. <br /><br />No love for As Good As It Gets?<br /><br />No, me neither.adrian mckintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349942973907386269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024210672199702325.post-23176490273262237892012-04-24T13:32:06.576+05:302012-04-24T13:32:06.576+05:30Hey Mrinal,

It was a blockbuster, and yet it's just a courtroom drama with hardly any exterior scenes or action. Without big stars it wouldn't have earned a tenth of the box office it managed. Nicholson did what he had to, though his final admission about ordering the Code Red still seems unlikely. I'm also biased because I don't think army officers who watch the Cubans from Guantanamo are doing anything at all to make Americans sleep safer at night. And the chaps now incarcerated at Guantanamo kind of proved it.Girish Shahanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877402074547726173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024210672199702325.post-75498158573565732182012-04-24T13:09:07.981+05:302012-04-24T13:09:07.981+05:30oh cool! one flew over the cuckoos nest tops my li...oh cool! one flew over the cuckoos nest tops my list too. then comes witches of eastwick and ummmm well here it comes - a few good men...Mrinalnoreply@blogger.com
