It sounds like something Vincent Chase said no to, is what it sounds like. Like a parody film. And much as I like Johnny Depp, I would think you'd need more than a Cherokee Great-great to play Tonto.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

I approve of Bradley Cooper's being in things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't see him as Hal Jordan, though.

Yeah, I think for Hal they need someone a little more hard-edged working man. Harrison Ford would have been perfect 30 years ago, of course.

Cor, that's awesome. Happy to see both Forrest Gump and Moulin Rouge make the list, although this haiku gem might be my favorite:
Oh, Robin Williams,
Bearded man with life lessons,
You ruined poetry.

I adore Moulin Rouge (although I agree with everything else, including Forrest Gump). It is the only movie I have watched multiple times in the theatre, and I see so few movies in the theatre that the last movie I saw was "Cars" and the one before that was "Chicage". I think to enjoy Moulin Rouge, however, you have to have been blessed with both a love for and have watched a lot of movie musicals, and also a passion for old-time love stories, coupled with an ability to laugh at ourself for both of these things. Plus the costumes were gorgeous!

I like nearly every movie mentioned and love a few. I haven't seen three.

I would find myself liking Moulin Rogue, then one of those modern songs would start and it would throw me out utterly as I heard the song in my head in the original version and I'd be distracted by "Why that song? Is this something that's supposed to be hip? Were they too cheap to write their own songs? I don't get it. Elton John/Sting/etc. did it better." Plus I was going "Isn't this La Traviata? Or is it Il Trovatore? I wonder if she dies of consump--yup, there she goes."
