Feh on the out-of-control 3D trend! FEH!
I am not much of a Ridley Scott fan, but I like Russell Crowe, so I might go see the new Robin Hood movie. His reported off-screen assholery doesn't bother me. Unless he's a murderer or a child molester or something, I find how an actor / director / musician acts in real life has little bearing on whether I enjoy his/her work.
Favourite Crowe movie is still L.A. Confidential, followed by Master and Commander. I think the former was the first time I saw Russell Crowe in anything and he sure left an impression. Oh wait -- I saw him earlier than that in an Aussie flick, Proof, with young Hugo Weaving.
I will put in the requisite mention of
Virtuosity.
I think my favorite Crowe film is Master and Commander, and that's due to the combined efforts of Peter Weir, Crowe, Paul Bettany, and the terrific story.
Yeah, but
Virtuosity
was crap.
Beverly, are you a fan of Robin and Marian? I adore that film, with its view of middle-aged love. Audrey Hepburn is brilliant. And Nicol Williamson KILLS as Little John,.

Exactly.

Exactly this also. It was an after-the-fact realization that I'd seen him (and Hugo) before.
Yeah, but Virtuosity was crap.
I liked it! He wore a purple suit and killed people a lot.
blech.
Don't you blech all over my L.A. Confidential!
My favorites, probably in about this order but I'd probably be reasonably happy with them in nearly any order:
The Sum of Us
Master and Commander
The Insider
L.A. Confidential
And I do have some shameful but sincere love for
Gladiator,
though no way does it belong on the above list.
