Cheers for letting us know Mark

You've got a point, but I just don't think Al Pacino's gruff theatrics make it easy to take him as a badass. Satan in Angel Heart, however, that stuff was the kind of extremely intimidating calmness worthy of Anton Chigurh.

But to each their own, I guess.

Okay, so I basically just woke up after sleeping for about 13 hours because this week left me totally spent, but I'm now rejuvenated enough to say that this week's theme is:

Movies about Movie-Making

and mine is from Truffaut's Day for Night

Interesting pick for a theme, Sarah. I do have to wonder exactly how broad your definition of "movies about movie-making" is - a couple of my ideas either have to do with the writing process specifically (like Adaptation or Sunset Blvd.) or have it as a sort of subplot (like Mulholland Dr.). The only thing I've come up that seems to fit the theme to a T is Singin' in the Rain - that's gotta count, yeah?

I think all of them count.

Ah, then here I go.

Yeah, any movie that has anything to do with any part of the filmmaking process and documentaries like Lost in La Mancha obviously would work too.

Living in Oblivion

Adaptation.

Ed Wood



(BTW, Iroquois, I have to agree with you, DeNiro's Louis Cypher is waay more disturbing than Pacino's John Milton!)

Cool theme... but my mind is drawing blanks right now...

Tropic Thunder, one of the few comedies I really love.

BOWFINGER

Suspect's Reviews

My choice for this week's theme, the British Psycho!

My choice for the week is The Player (1992)

The first three that came to mind have all been taken (Living In Oblivion, The Player and Bowfinger) so I've gone with my next pick, Stab, the fictional account of Scream in Scream 2.

Nice choice HK.
