Groundhog Day is one of two movies in which I can stand AM. The other is Hudson Hawk.
HUDSON HAWK!!!!
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
Apparently I like Steve Martin movies, because "L.A. Story" and "Roxanne" were great. I didn't even mind "Father of the Bride."
I also loved "Splash."
I just saw "Hotel Rwanda" in class. I think I need a hug.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hugs Alibelle.
Steals her pink ipod while she is distracted by the hug.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We've wandered from cheesy movies to pretty darn good movies, but I'd like to mention one for the cheesy title: Eddie and the Cruisers. Something about it--the sequel was a horrid misbegotten waste of film, but the first one was just about perfect, for what it was. And the cast--Barkin, Berringer, Joey Pants, and one or the other of the Laurance twins.
And we just watched Streets of Fire tonight. Fun! I was so disillusioned to find out the Sorels didn't really sing their song.

Eddie and the Cruisers and Streets of Fire were both early faves for me. I'm a sucker for a rock n' roll fable.

More Hitchhiker's news:
Actor Stephen Fry has been cast as the voice of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in the film version of the sci-fi adventure. It also stars The Office actor Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent, the baffled Englishman in space.

How can you not love a film where Willem Dafoe, as the villain, has a sledgehammer duel with the hero at the climax? Also Rick Moranis as a REALLY angry nerd.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Also the Ruprecht-the-idiot sequence from "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." The movie itself is just okay, but that sequence is sick and dirty genius.
Oh my god. That scene almost killed me, literally, because I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe.
I still call my brother "Ruprecht the Monkey Boy" from time to time.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I love Streets of Fire. I still think the moment when The Sorels realize they're being hijacked by a famous person and take the opportunity to sing her a song is one of the funnier movie moments ever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did not like Streets of Fire, mostly because I have a big hate-on for Jim Steinman.
