Well, there could be greater ones, but nothing's coming to my mind at the moment.
"Be My Baby" for Mean Streets?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

"Little Green Bag" in RESERVOIR DOGS (and PULP FICTION & JACKIE BROWN have pretty much killer opening songs too).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
"Be My Baby" for Mean Streets?
Ahh, never seen it. I have a big Martin Scorcese (and Francis Coppola) -shaped hole in my movie-viewing experience that I don't particularly want to fill.
I have the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack and everything, yet my brain is refusing to remember anything other than "Stuck In the Middle With You", which I am no longer able to enjoy without shuddering.

Because books.

Oh, that's a good one!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Watched "The Departed" last night. I quite enjoyed it, and I loved the soundtrack.

Watched "The Departed" last night. I quite enjoyed it, and I loved the soundtrack.
We finally saw it, too. I liked it very much, and I thought Leo was fabulous in his role -- much gritter than usual and really believable. I didn't actually think it should have won Best Picture, but I get why it did.
There are pros and cons to staying as unspoiled as I usually do, though. I was shocked when Costigan got shot, and my jaw was on the floor by the end. There aren't too many movies in which the three leads are dead by the end.
We're doing a Better Late Than Never post-Oscar movie blitz around here. Saw and loved Little Miss Sunshine, and Ben and I went to see The Pursuit of Happyness at the local second-run (and only $3!) theater -- I really enjoyed it, emotional manipulation and all. I adore Will Smith, and for a message movie it was really well-done and enjoyable.
We've got The Prestige to watch next.
Sigh. Edited because "are" and "aren't" are two really different things.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I didn't like Trainspotting, either. It seemed to be mostly about trying to shock the audience without much narrative development or even meangingful character study, and I felt the whole thing boiled down to the creators of the movie saying "aren't we cheeky?" to the audience over and over again. That sort of facile nihilism reminds me of David Fincher movies, which I also dislike. I don't see any there there.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love David Fincher movies, however.

Yep. I guess I should have anticipated it, given the source, but my jaw hit the floor hard. A rarity for me, and a very nice feeling.

There's a part of me that hates that I like DiCaprio so much, but he's really come in to his own as an actor.
