That said, it's still a very good movie. You mentioned William Forsythe -- don't you wish there was still the system in place where American actors would go over to Italy to make low-budget horror/action movies. If that was the case, Forsythe would be this eras John Saxson. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>Boogie Nights - I didn't find a way to get PTA on my list. I guess if I did have to pick one, though, it would be Boogie Nights. I always liked how he takes such a distanced look at the industry to make it seem like a very pathetic thing to ever get into and not much fun at all (which may well be the case). Also, Thomas Jane was good in a movie and it wasn't the Punisher. Shocking!<BR/><BR/>Aliens - Agree on Alien being the better film, but of course, I found a way to get both on my list. I can't think of any sequels that work so well with the first film, yet are so extremely different. That's an impressive feat. Also, not many sequels are made seven years later. It's nice to hear that Cameron is going back to his roots and making a 3-D sci-fi/action movie starring Sigourney Weaver, in 2009.<BR/><BR/>Spinal Tap - It IS the funniest movie ever.<BR/><BR/>Touch of Evil - Sometimes it's easy to forget just how great Orson Welles was. Touch of Evil is probably a top 20 film if we ignore directors. I just couldn't put it above Citizen Kane on my list.Troy Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843741571724231174noreply@blogger.com
