A movie you should watch if you never have: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

Kevin Spacey, John Cusack, and Jude Law are phenomenal. I mean if they weren't all amazing actors in their own right, with their own masterpieces (for me John Cusack's will always be Grosse Point Blank, but whatever, another day for that), I'd say this was the movie they all look back on and say in 30 years "I did that, and I am proud"

Then, there is the fourth character. Savannah Georgia. The character played by John Cusack calls it "Like Gone with the Wind, on Mescalin..they walk imaginary pets here, on a [freaking] leash. Alright? And they're all heavily armed and drunk. New York is boring!" Could not be more spot on. The setting is just magical.

This was also the little fact about the director. Everyone has had the moment. They watch an amazingly perfect film, and then someone sitting next to them says "Clint Eastwood directed that" This was the movie that gave me that moment.

Then there is Minerva, the hoo-doo lady (the old lady from Ladykillers), and of course, the Lady Chablis.

This movie is just about awesome. Murder, voo-doo, great acting and a sassy transvestite.

Plus Clint Eastwood's daughter is a love interest of sorts...and she is gorgeous.

Edit: I'm watching it now, and I'm about 90% positive that I just saw James Gandolfini.

off the top of my head, all of the godfathers, scarface, braveheart, all of the lord of the rings (don't have any interest in seeing them but will end up watching them at some point) all of the rocky movies (for the most part)..... Those are probably the ones im most embarrassed about not seeing. I'm not sure if even my closest friends know that i haven't seen these and i don't know if i could even tell them haha

John Savage is a great actor.  He deserves better roles.

still haven't seen the entire LOTR trilogy, only the first movie. Also, I've only seen 1 1/2 of the Pirates of the Carribean movies...fell asleep in the 2nd one and never saw the third.

Reds. I love Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson. It won 3 Oscars and was nominated for 10 more. What am I waiting on?

I like Citizen Kane -- and love The Deer Hunter.  Also like John Savage.  Catch 'Inside Moves' with Savage -- a little too warm and fuzzy for some, but a basketball flick with good acting and might bring a tear to your eye.

I really am embarrassed that I have never seen Casablanca (only scenes).
