The Good, The Bad, and The Overlooked
 

Ok , this is an old idea that i scooped from a Music discussion site. Often in Movies, as in Music, an Artist is best known for a "popular" movie , and flicks that he made when either he wasn't a "star" or a plethora of other reasons, aren't appreciated as much as they maybe should be.

Lets face it, bad movies happen to good people. Even Hillary Swank had to roll snake eyes eventually.

For the purpose of this thread, we are dealing in your opinion, a flick doesnt have to have accolades up the yin yan or made a zillion dollars to be worth a watch.

The thread itself is a lil free-form, in that I will Start with an actor/actress, and list A good a bad and a overlooked imo. 1 selection per category plz, and then i will suggest an Actor/Actress for the next to comment on if they like, and also to make their good bad and overlooked choices.

Also, so the Search this thread feature can work properly. pls type choice in Text as well as the image(optional)

One other thing, keep the selections to movies that you yourself have seen, if the Actor suggestion above isn't known to you, or you aren't versed in his/her body of work, Do one of your own choosing, and defer that one to the next Mofo.

The Overlooked- Gung Ho

Yes its silly at times, and goes for some easy laughs, but I enjoyed Ron Howards stab at presenting a real sign of the times issue taht balances the comedic with the tender moments.

Keaton's performance is remenicient of the Roles Bill Murray excelled at early in his career.
