Ripleys' Game with Malkovich as Ripley is far better than either.

They are both two of my favorite movies, but if forced, I'd probably choose Plein Soliel, partially as I love the period and young Alain Delon.  Patricia Highsmith was a hell of an airport novelist; Strangers on a Train is also an all-time favorite.

I am experiencing rare moment of agreement with you; Dangerous Liaisons is a classic, and Malkovich makes almost any film worth a look.

Don't waste your time with Burn Before Reading.

Is that the prequel to Burn After Reading?

Dorkness Rising. Some D&D movie about D&D players.  Not terrible. Better than the Dungeons and Dragons movie that made it to theaters.

Blues Brothers.  Stellar.

What didn't you like about it? I remember that I laughed a lot at the cinema.

Con Air, that's a flick you don't want to watch for Malkovich alone.

Burn After Reading I couldn't get past the first 10 or 20 minutes with. 'twas just...bleh.

Pocavatar.

It was alright. I guess my expectation were way to high after all the reviews & weeks of sold out theatres.

As for 3d, what the fuck is the big deal?

Well, it's the Coen's piece, after all, and they're notoriously hit or miss with their films, even moreso in their later stuff. Personally I liked it very much.

Up in the Air. Solid overall (George Clooney does a great work), but with some strange oddities

- A wedding with tens of persons invited, but no teen or kid in sight. Actually in this movie America is plenty of people from 35-40 to 55-60. Young and elder people seem to have fallen to some kind of plague...
- An incredible amount of product placement, bordering on the irritating. 
- The ending could have used a few minutes more. It feels very rushed.

Was forced at gunpoint to watch Fred & Elsa.  Not generally my cup of tea, but the dialogue was funny.  Wife said Elsa reminded her of one of her grandmothers.  And I'm now calling the wife "Cuca"

Also finally got around to watching that HD-DVD of Beowulf.  Excellent animation & voice acting.  I was able to forget it was animated about 20 minutes into it.  I do not approve of the changes they made to the story, however.

I figured that was just a Yi-ism.  But the Admiral is correct-- that movie was horrible.  Talk about misleading previews...

I thought the biggest film adjusted for inflation was It's a Wonderful Life

I thought it wasn't very successful in it's initial run at the theatres, and only became a 'timeless classic' later on?
