If the WLOCP ever gets to a home-away set up, stop by Micanopy, FL (about 15 minutes from UF) and see the town where Doc Hollywood was filmed. Kind of neat.
As sick as Hollywood is it certainly needs a Doctor. 😉

Watched the finding Sugar movie, really documentary, last night. It was a really neat story. I gota say I think they should of edited it down some, especially in the beginning. I almost didn't finish it because it took a while to get going. That said, I'm glad I did. Fascinating true story.
To think that a musician makes a couple of albums, doesn't really make a career out of it, goes on to a life working construction. Then he unknowingly becomes the greatest artist ever in an isolated country, and finds out about when he's an older man. That's just wild.
I'm seeing a lot of Shawshank claims. And it's brought up in many other greatest movie of all time discussions. This has always surprised me a little bit. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie. But it's never really moved the meter for me as much as it seemingly does others. I think it could be because of how I saw it. I believe I was on a cruise ship, and it was playing on loop on the TV. So I was in and out and saw the movie in chunks rather than sitting down and seeing it all the way through.
Love that movie. I saw this movie for the first time in the early nineties, not even knowing of it's existence. It didn't have the same feel as the earlier "Eastwood" movies, not as much action I suppose. But, I think Sergio Leone's work here is his best.
And the soundtrack: the recurring musical scores are absolutely stunning.
Sooooooooo nobody's seen Eraserhead? What's the matter with you people? It's a cult classic!
JoeSidneyKelly. That is a very eclectic list, and a dam good one. The 15 minute intro to Raising Arizona may be the funniest ever. I've never seen My Fair Lady and it's not the type movie I usually like, but there are always exceptions like The Remains Of The Day. I usually dislike movies or series focused on Royal Brits' households, but that movie is superior.
I actually saw it in a theater when it first came out. Very... ummm how shall I say "trippy"
I have never seen Gone With The Wind all the way through. I've also never read the book from start to finish. I have tried many many times, I just can't ever seem to get through it.
Anything Lynch is at least a 7/10. Eraserhead gets a 9 from me.
"Oh, you are sick."
It came out when I moved to London in '77. I remember seeing Eraserhead movie posters all over London. I didn't see the film until around 2002. After 5 minutes I turned to a neighbor and said, "Is this for real? I'm ready to S-can this thing, but I find myself oddly curious to see if this can possibly get anymore bizarre." His response, "Let's keep going."
The chicken carving scene had us busting a gut!!!
Lynch's last movie with Laura Dern is equally as bizarre!
I'd give Blue Velvet a 9 as well.
