Mark Vader Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 "Trading Places" is really solid. As is "Coming to America." Agree on "Trading Places", I think that is a comedy that has become overlooked. I also agree with those people that have mentioned other comedies such as "Ghostbusters" & "The Blues Brothers". Great choices. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned "Airplane" yet. Especially since everyone here loves to quote that movie. Another great comedy that has not been mentioned yet is "Tootsie". "YOU WERE A TOMATO! A TOMATO DOESN'T HAVE LOGIC! A TOMATO CAN'T MOVE!"

bbb Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 This is why the Godfather vs. Godfather II debate is so great. All of your points are well-taken. The young Vito/DeNiro, however, is what puts No. 2 over the top for me. I think 1 myself. I have no good reason, other than older Vito and Sonny. It's filmed so amazingly and the cinematographer just died last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Another great comedy that has not been mentioned yet is "Tootsie". I have never seen "Tootsie." I've seen Rob Johnson under center, though. That count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB3 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) American Beauty is another one of my favorites. Spacey and Bening were outstanding in it. Edited May 29, 2014 by KikoSeeBallKikoGetBall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 That's one thing about Mann--he tends to leave you about 15 minutes before you're ready. Better than James Cameron's M-O of push it 30 minutes past when you want it to be over IMO. You are dead on with James Cameron, but I somewhat disagree with you about Michael Mann. To be fair, I have never seen "The Last of the Mohicans", but I love "Heat" and "Collateral" and I think Mann nails it with the running time of those two films.

Rob's House Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Too many to narrow down. I even have trouble making a top 5, but here it goes (in no particular order): The Big Lebowski The English Patient Suburbia The Shawshank Redemption Ok, it's a top 4. I can't settle on #5. Too many great movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Cameron paces his films relatively well, though, so they never really feel that long to me. Even with the brutal hack-job (which he hid very well) he did in editing True Lies, it was a well-paced movie. Peter Jackson, on the other hand... The man stretches two minute action scenes to 15 minutes. He couldn't decide on the ending to The Return of the King...so he just showed all seven. "What, this movie isn't over? How many endings does this friggin' movie have???" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
