When they decided to slide in a 1994 movie for the latest update, they added <i>Lamerica</i> when <i>12 Monkeys</i> was just sitting there.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-36716090830567503502020-11-05T05:59:03.775-06:002020-11-05T05:59:03.775-06:00It does sound like we had a very similar reaction ...It does sound like we had a very similar reaction to "The Heartbreak Kid". "Like biting down on metal" is a very apt description. <br />My guess is that the editors wanted to include an Elaine May movie. Why they picked this over "A New Leaf" is a mystery. Maybe there were already too many 1971 movies on the List? No, wait, they did add no less than three extra movies to 1971 in the revision...<br />Thank you for mentioning "Silent Running". I missed that when selecting my off-List 72 movies. I may have to include it.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-13718150424925705022017-10-17T06:50:35.859-05:002017-10-17T06:50:35.859-05:00This was not my favorite.

It felt very self-indulgent to me, like I was supposed to care about a character who is ultimately selfish, spoiled, and stupid. <br /><br />I don't, I didn't. I don't understand why this made the list.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-24466718443078855352017-10-09T01:26:34.600-05:002017-10-09T01:26:34.600-05:00I watched The Heartbreak Kid this afternoon on You...I watched The Heartbreak Kid this afternoon on YouTube and WOW, the actress playing Lila is HILARIOUS! <br /><br />I thought Cybil Shepherd was really good too. I was watching her a lot (because she is stunningly beautiful) and noting her face and I was really struck by what a really good actress she is without really getting credit for that because she is so stunning.<br /><br />Charles Grodin and Eddie Albert are also really good.<br /><br />And then there's director Elaine May. Has anybody seen Woody Allen's Small-Time Crooks? May is in it, and she is HILARIOUS! I'd heard it wasn't very good but I finally saw it a few weeks ago and it was pretty damn funny, especially Elaine May.
