Funny, I really was thinking of 'Life as a House', but for some reason had Robin Williams and Kevin Kline crossed. Kevin Kline is one of my favorites also and I re-watch Dave a couple time a year.marshaeb wrote:Hi, Old Lincoln.OldLincoln wrote:One Robin Williams movie most probably missed was "Life as a House".

Any chance you're thinking of "House of D," where Robin had the part of a janitor? Although I missed it on my list (rats), "Life As A House" is one of my favorite movies and starred one of my favorites, Kevin Kline.

Yes, "Dave" is a great movie and one I also watch with some regularity. Kevin Kline is one of those actors who can always be trusted to raise the quality of whatever movie he's in to a higher level than if he hadn't been in it. (that's kind of convoluted, but I think you get my meaning) I have a list of actors like that (not written... just bouncing around in my head... one of those "I'll know it when I see it" things). If someone from that list is in the movie, even if only in a supporting role and even if I know nothing about it, I need to watch it. "De-Lovely" was like that for me. Have you seen it? (full synopsis at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0352277/#comment) I love Cole Porter's music, turned on the movie for the first time because of that and because Kevin was in it, but I hadn't known anything about Cole Porter's private life, so it was quite a surprise. Someone else could have made the role just trashy and/or sensational, but Kevin (as always) helped you see the man's heart and the many conflicts that made him the person he was. I must admit, though, I'll never view some of his songs in the same way that I had. Not so much because of the content, but just because I had a mental picture of what he was saying, and I was so wrong in a lot of cases. Kind of like expecting a person to look a certain way and then meeting him/her for the first time. No judgment involved, just surprise. But such are the realities of reality.OldLincoln wrote:Funny, I really was thinking of 'Life as a House', but for some reason had Robin Williams and Kevin Kline crossed.

Another one I like is "Finding Forester". Excellent performance by Rob Brown - Bio Here:

So do you like my all-time fav "Das Boot"?goose wrote:I can't think of any movie that Sean Connery's been in that he didn't do an exemplary job!!!!
He's kind of like Dustin Hoffman -- anything he touches turns to gold......
I'm sorry to the other actors that have played the part, but Sean Connery "IS" James Bond!!!!!
"Hunt for Red October"??? Smashing!!!!
Indiana Jones father??? Who better??? (can't believe they "killed him off", but......)
another two cents worth.....
cheers

I read the synopsis and will pass on the movie. I have difficulty watching the self destructive themed movies. I watched Ray because it was him and Will Smith and we even bought it, but now I don't want to see it again. Along the same theme are those where somebody makes such a stupid fool of themselves I get very embarrassed for them while everybody else is laughing. I don't remember the name but one example was where this guy and girl meet in a book store and spend the afternoon and he falls in love. When returning to the parent's house he discovers she is his brother's fiance. He makes a huge fool of himself and I had to leave the room while my wife was splitting a seam. Cute is fine but I just don't find belabored self cruelty entertaining to me. Weird huh?marshaeb wrote: "De-Lovely" was like that for me. Have you seen it?
