I agree wholeheartedly with this one!
Sorry I forgot to mention it. I guess: "I'm a man"... "No body's perfect."

And now for Casablanca...
Come on. I simply loved captain Renault.
"I'm shocked. Shocked Rick, to find out there's gambling going on here." A man walks from behind: "here are your winigs, captain."
Or the scene where Laszlo inspires the bar-band to play the Marsseliese - as an answer to a bunch of drunk nazis singing German beer songs.
Not to mention the two imigrants trying to get used to english (because they are moving to America):
"Honey, what's watch?"
"It's ten watch."
"That much?"

I could go on and on, but I guess most people can't see beyond the Ingrid/Humprey love affair (You must remember this...).

EDIT: Timpsi - Coocoo's nest is an excelent movie.
I just remembered another movie that would be worth watching - The Shinigs (with Jack - unfortunately there was a newer version made :not_ok: ).

Never saw that, but I LOVE the books - have you read them, and if so, how did the film compare?

There are probably lots more movies I could add to each category, if I could just think clearly.

Also, Beef, you should definitely watch LS's Series of Unfortunate Events... it's beautiful, and generally awesome.
