Ah.
There was definitely a movie that did that. I am not going crazy.

Lynne Thigpen. Maybe the most successful career of the bunch. Although I saw David Patrick Kelly in a bunch of tv shows last season.

Her brain hemorrhaged for no reason? That's just great -- your head can spontaneously combust. I could have gone the rest of the day without knowing that.

As mookie said James Remar had a few roles. Michael Beck had a few roles too, unfortunately Xanadu was one.

Forgot about James Remar. One of my favorite character actors.
If you're a music fan, you should check out this short film he was in, Session Man. Some great actors in this short little thing.

The Judge:
The Courtroom Drama part was great, as was the overall acting (sidebar: Vera Farmiga dirties up kinda nice!), but the dysfunctional family cliches weigh this movie down heavily. And what's with the "special" guy always having the same frumpy K-Mart jacket? That has to be some inside joke in the industry, paying homage to Rain Man. If it isn't, well, it's a terrible trend/stereotype.
One thing, hidden, as it is a spoiler:
So, Hank made out with his possible daughter. Ew, ok, they cover that a little. BUT, in the end, oh, it's okay because it was only his niece! ***?! And it implies that he probably continues a relationship with his niece's mother! Hey, it's Indiana! Must be normal in this neck of the woods! /HollywoodEnding

Pike Bishop: What would you do in his place? He gave his word.
Dutch Engstrom: He gave his word to a railroad.
Pike Bishop: It's his word.
Dutch Engstrom: That ain't what counts! It's who you give it to!
The Wild Bunch:
Great movie. I can see where Scorcese and Tarantino got some influence from it. Crazy ending. Bonus: El Guapo (Three Amigos!) is in it. Instantly recognizable!

Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show
The Judge was terrible. Talk about a paint by numbers plot. Such a waste of acting talent...
This is Where I Leave You is a much better movie about family returning home because of illness/death in the family.

Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show
That's why I mentioned the "dysfunctional family" cliches in particular. "Daddy doesn't love me," "It was actually tough love," etc etc etc.
The acting itself was great; wish the cast was given more to work with.

Movies watched in September with comments, * Criterion Collection
Sweet Smell of Success, Alexander Mackendrick (1957) *
- Great vehicle for Lancaster and Curtis: tough, gritty news business in NYC
Paths of Glory, Stanley Kubrick (1957) *
- Kirk Douglas as a kind of WWI Spartacus in anti-war film

A Night To Remember, Roy Ward Baker (1958) *
- Titanic disaster
The Lovers or Les amants, Louis Malle (1958) *
- The film is important in American legal history as it resulted in a court case that questioned the definition of obscenity. A showing of the film in Cleveland Heights, Ohio's Coventry Village resulted in a criminal conviction of the theatre manager for public depiction of obscene material. He appealed his conviction to the United States Supreme Court, which reversed the conviction and ruled that the film was not obscene in its written opinion (Jacobellis v. Ohio). The case resulted in Justice Potter Stewart's famously subjective definition of hard-core pornography: "I know it when I see it." (Stewart did not consider the film to be such.) source: Wikipedia
Mon Oncle or My Uncle, Jacques Tati (1958) *
- satire on modern life, conveniences, manners, manufacturing

- Good Allen crime film
Pickpocket, Robert Bresson (1959) *
- Non-actor portrays modern day Raskolnikov
Ballad of a Soldier, Grigori Chukhrai (1959) *

Letter Never Sent, Mikhail Kalatozov (1959) *
- very good tale of a team of Russian geologists looking for diamonds in Siberia and their struggle to survive
Il generale Della Rovere, Roberto Rossellini (1959) *
- based on true story of small time criminal who poses as a resistance leader for the Nazis to save his life, but has a change of heart while in prison
L’avventura, Michelangelo Antonioni (1960) *
- frustrating plot, but interesting visually—got to love Monica Vitti
Peeping Tom, Michael Powell (1960) *
- interesting sexual deviancy, privacy, mental health film
Breathless or À bout de soufflé, Jean-Luc Godard (1960)

I dunno, I liked The Judge. Nothing earth-shattering by any means, but a decent afternoon Netflix rental. Though I wish during the climax that someone in the courtroom would have asked "Sorry, is any of this related to the trial?".

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Classic western with the Duke and Jamesh Shtewart (
). Perfect movie to kill some time with. Great themes without it being heavy, and Lee Marvin plays a great bad guy in it.
