Airplane and Naked Gun are two of the funniest most entertaining movies of all time...yet...no Oscar nods. Why? No reason. Tombstone might be the greatest western ever and Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday might be one of the best supporting actor performances ever...but he did not get nominated. I think film-dorks forget why movies first got made...they were to compete for our time and money...that is all. You nailed it. Wife and I tried watching a bunch of Oscar-nominated films one year and I think we were more disappointed by those than any other movies. The movies that I love and movies that "changed my life" are more often than not B, C, D level according to the film dorks. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Halfway through Roadhouse and calling it a night. It's good. It's very 80s. I'll finish it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 OK. I've watched Roadhouse. That got really dark at the end for a movie about a bouncer at a roadside bar. Quote Link to comment
