Leon: The Professional. Good.

Hell yes that's good. There is an international version out there, I hear, and I really want to see that version. I guess the "relationship" between Leon and the girl was a bit more...in depth than the American version. I'd like to see that take on it.

Foxcatcher:

Didn't hold my interest whatsoever. The actors did not do well enough for such a plodding story. Too monotone, too bland, too boring.

Did you think Carell was any good as the psycho du Pont? I thought he was pretty good in that role--even got an Oscar nomination.

Whenever he or Channing had a conversation...I've seen more entertaining WI Badger hockey games. Plus, Stephen Hawking is less monotone.

Dude you can buy it online

Haven't gotten to it yet. I do have a list, though. It's on there. The Way, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, and The Quiet Man made the cut for my last purchase.

Jean Reno is awesome in all he does, and obviously Portman and Oldman are great.

Outside living in a cave, how do you (I) remain ignorant of that movie for 21 years?

I don't like the implications.

The Professional? I watched that movie YEARS ago. I just haven't researched purchasing the int'l version, is all.

I was talking about my own ignorance, Brent. I just watched it for the first time.

You'd be surprised at the movies I haven't seen, given the volume of movies I have seen.

Volunteering the obvious ones:

Gone With The Wind
Titanic
Schindler's List (on purpose)
Casablanca
Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane, it's a technical masterpiece and all, but I struggled to stay awake throughout the show. Yes, old movies have a slower, quieter pace, which I can usually handle just fine. CK just lost me.

I really enjoyed watching RKO 281 which is basically biographical on the making of Citizen Kane.

I am getting into older movies, and adjusting my tastes according to The Code, so I get the differences. Right now, it's a matter of volume and current tastes.
