And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

Exactly.

Oh wait -- I saw him earlier than that in an Aussie flick, Proof, with young Hugo Weaving.

Exactly this also. It was an after-the-fact realization that I'd seen him (and Hugo) before.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, but Virtuosity was crap.

I liked it! He wore a purple suit and killed people a lot.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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.

My extreme Hatred of all things Kim Basinger might discolor my feelings for that movie.

Veronica Lake look-alike my ever-expanding ass.

I don't find Russell Crowe sexy at all. I often like his acting, but I would never see a movie just because he was in it.

I really liked the Insider and LS Confidential. He did a great Australian movie when he was quite young called Proof that I really loved.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I feel like I have seen a lot (well at least 2) Russell Crowe movies because they contained Paul Bettany. Of course, I own the movie Wimbledon because of Paul Bettany because my love of him knows no bounds.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, yeah, speaking of iliac crests...

I liked 3:10 to Yuma a lot. And spent much of it going, "Oh yeah, there's a reason Crowe is a movie star. I'd forgotten." L.A. Confidential was the only other movie of his that I'd seen, and it had been a while.
