What should I watch? D:

So I thought I might watch a film this evening. And here I am, sat with a pile of DVDs and no idea which sounds most appealing. So what should I go for? Am I in a Kevin Costner mood, in which case I will need to choose between Dances with Wolves, Field of Dreams, and The Untouchables? Or am I in the mood for some kind of war movie, in which case Henry V and The Thin Red Line are beckoning? I can't decide, and I feel very pathetic for it. Help! :P

I suggest watching The Untouchables if you are in a Andy Garcia mood. I just love that scene where he saves the baby at the foot of the stairs, and is aiming his gun at the bad guy at the same time. Awesome.

I don't think I've ever been in a Kevin Costner mood.

I was going to suggest Henry V, but that would mean one vote for each, which isn't very helpful.

I've never seen The Untouchables, so why don't you watch that? You can tell me to see it or not.

I can't imagine being in a Kevin Costner mood, but if I were, I'd watch The Bodyguard. At least it's got Whitney singing.

I'm the same way, Jane. I don't really like Kevin Costner that much, but I did like that movie. I liked Bull Durham too.

---

Oh Jane! I was watching that, too! What work did you do on that?

And Weez and Reg, you should both watch The Untouchables. That was a good movie...but I think Field of Dreams is close to perfect.

Ya, Stockard, it was on ch.11 in NY. It ended at 5

Clever-interesting story-it was back when I still did extra work.

They had over 900 extras for that marching through the street scene. They used an armory for us to report. We had to be there at 2:30 am because every single extra had to have wardrobe fittings, and hair, and makeup because they wanted every person to fit into the period. So we had to spend at least 12 hours in that armory before it was time to report to set.

It was summer, and the temperature was about 85 and humid. Most of the extras were extremely uncomfortable in those little pointed shoes we had to wear, in heels, stockings, and little dresses with hats on too.

When it was finally time to march through the streets after being in that wardrobe for around half a day already, many actors couldn't take it any more. I noticed lots of non union extras leaving the set and ducking into delis to buy a cold drink. Several took to the curb and sat down in the street because their feet were bleeding from the shoes. It wasn't easy doing take after take without a break in those conditions.

I had given up a while ago and just loitered around all day, counting my foot blisters. Onlookers joined into the scene. No one knew what was going on.

so many people dropped out that at the end of the day, Tim Robbins (dir.) called us all over in a group to "praise" us for our good work. They needed extras for the following day so he had to bribe us, and said there was going to be a raffle for a color tv at the end of the day. LOLOLOLOL!

I think that was the day I decided never to do extra work again.

I never saw Dances With Wolves and probably won't. Not a Costner fan. I say go rent "SAVED!". That's what I think I am going to watch tonight.

---

Greg, I've never seen Dances With Wolves either. I've never had an inkling of a desire to see it......

So Jane, what did you see?

And what did Weez end up watching?

---

I really dislike all those movies, except for the Untouchables, which I love.

Oooh, I want to see both of those!

I loved Slumdog.. I for some reason have no interest in Benjamin Button. I don't know why. Maybe it's the length.

I saw Frost/Nixon this weekend. Confession: I fell asleep for, Im guessing about 15 minutes, and when I woke up it was like I didn't miss anything. I was able to pick up the story from wherever I woke up at!
