Is this the one with Sam Waterston as the father?

Yes.

Yeah, that's a chick flick, and a little hillbillish. And I've been accused of being a hillbilly myself..haha. If I was Reese I would have kicked her sister's a$$.

As you guys can guess, I absolutely love THE WANDERERS, having grown up around Fordham, and having heard my Dad and my uncles talk about the "Baldies" since I was a kid (Dion was a member but got thrown out because he wouldn't shave his head!). The ending is classic. I played alot of ball in that park as a kid.

Sidebar on Perry King- On the ROCKY dvd, with the commentary on, Stallone says that when the powers that be at UA finally gave the nod to make the movie, it was beacause one of the producers had just seen "The Lords," and mistook Perry King for Stallone. He liked his look!

What a twist of fate if you're Perry King, huh?

Thunder Road with Robert Mitchum.

Yes, the girl that Richie (Ken Wahl) winds up marrying. The only reason that I remembered who she was the first time that I saw her on Sopranos is because she annoyed me till no end in The Wanderers. Whining little bitch!

Another underrated gem:

"SUDDENLY" (1954), dir. Lewis Allen.
This taut (75 minute) suspenser circulates around a well-thought-out plan by a psychotic thug posing as a Secret Service agent(Frank Sinatra) to assassinate the President when his train makes a brief stop in a small California town. He comes up against the small town sheriff (Sterling Hayden in one of his best roles), his ladyfriend, her father (ironically a retired Secret Service agent--the plot thickens!) and the ladyfriend's 10-year-old son. Despite some obligatory (for the era) sappy dialog, this film is surprisingly tense and harrowing. IMO, Sinatra gives his best performance as the thug--alternately calm, competent and convincing, and then vicious, violent and psycho. Well worth watching!

I always loved The Guys, starring Anthony LaPaglia and Sigourney Weaver, adapted from a Broadway play. It was the first film (that I know of) to deal with the aftermath of September 11th. Although it is slow-moving at times, you are more than compensated by LaPaglia's superb performance as the fire chief at a loss as to how to deal with the deaths of so many of his "guys". Often touching, without being melodramatic, it perfectly captures how overwhelmed we ALL were in the aftermath of the attacks.

I never understood how LaPaglia was ignored come Oscar time.

The Guys was a great movie, I'm glad a very intelligent and beautiful woman recommended it to me....

29TH STREET (1991)

Danny Aiello's best role ever, imho. Anthony LaPaglia was brilliant, Lainie Kazan made me believe she was Italian and the supporting "bit players" were extraordinary (Frank Pesce included). What could have easily become a "B" film is now a cult classic.

Great feel good christmas time stuff, even though Frank didn't really win in real life. Hey, what kind of ending would that have been?

But I recommended that movie to you! Oh...

I just wrote a short article on this film for The Big Picture, a UK film mag: click.

Hi, It's really nice to meet you all here. Your are comment show that you have great craze to watch the movies. Actually I am also here for getting some website for downloading and watching movies. so please suggest me.

"The Cool World" (1964) by Shirley Clarke (Music by Dizzy Gillespie) (I'm still waiting for the day when this film is available on dvd.)

I've watched 1999's The Messenger with Milla Jovovich about Joan of Arc several times. Milla gives a passionate and convincing portrayal of the french maid's 15th century military rescue of France during the Hundred Years' War.

However, I also watched 1948's Joan of Arc starring Ingrid Bergman. She is one of the all time greats, but her portrayal of Joan pales by comparison with Milla's. Part of the problem may be the film's overall inferior production quality and the lack of a strong supporting cast. The dialogue seems rather amateurish and Ingrid seems almost bored.
