Movie Top Ten Someone, take over the baton

[Emelee]

That's my view too. I feel the same way about Kevin Spacey. If they were convicted of a crime I might feel differently but for now I can still appreciate their work.

I really liked his work until all sh*t hit the fan. Now, I just find his movies and series tarnished.

 

[darkshadows38]

i love Kevin Spacey as an actor but as a human being... here's the thing there's some of his films that i love and i refuse to stop watching them just because he's a moron.
i can't Stand Woody Allen regardless what he did and honestly there really hasn't been that many of his movies that i've seen that i would even call good i can think of only 2 of them i liked that i have seen the rest were shit and granted i haven't seen that many and Anne Hall (1977) is one i haven't seen yet but the ones i enjoyed are Scenes from a Mall (1991) and Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001) , the bad ones? everything you always wanted to know about sex... but were afraid to ask (1972) Play it again Sam (1972) this one for me is so forgettable i have to look up the name of it Hannah & Her sisters (1986) those are the ones i thought were utterly garbage but they were hits and people love them to each their own, Woody Allen plays the same Character in each of his films and i don't get that..

though he is a good director though i think. Roman Polanski i haven't seen that many of his films but there hasn't been any that i really love, Rosemary's Baby (1968) honestly as creative as an ending as it has the film is garbage it's terrible hell even my mom who saw it back than didn't like it. again to each their own for their opinion i suppose but these ones are hard sits for me and i tried to like every single one of them i did i went in with wanting to like all of them but they just didn't apparently.

I gave up on him when I heard he'd killed an innocent animal for the fun of it.

One word - ar**h***

 

[darkshadows38]

Oh my gosh!!! I never heard that before your post. Another terrible thi thing about him.
The less we know about movie stars, the better. It seems one of the few left that I've only read good things about is Dolly Parton.

 

[Mel O'Drama]

It seems one of the few left that I've only read good things about is Dolly Parton.

If it helps balance things out in the scandal stakes, I once read an interview with Dolly where she said her long fingernails were great for picking her nose.

That’s quite the visual but if that’s the worst she ever did then I’m okay with it.

 

[Karin Schill]

Okay so apparently your favorite movie with Gérard Depardieu is:

Green Card (1990)
In this American-Australian-French romantic comedy Gérard Depardieu portrays a French man who gets married to an American to get a green card to the USA. The marriage is a sham until the immigration service become suspicious and they have to convince them that they got married for the real reasons. The movie also stars: Andie MacDowell and Bebe Neuwirth. It is directed by: Peter Weir.

You gave it a total of 22 points.

Here's a trailer for the winning movie:

The runner up was:

The Man In The Iron Mask (1998)
This is the story of a French prisoner who was hiding behind an iron mask. It is loosly based on a real person who lived in the late 1600s.
In this movie it is implied that the prisoner is King Louis XIV twin brother. The movie also stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeremy Iroons, John Malkovick and Gabriel Byrne. It is directed by: Randall Wallace.

You gave it a total of: 19 points.

Okay up next is another one of my favorite actors:

Patrick Swayze was an American actor, dancer and singer. Patrick Wayne Swayze was born on 18th August, 1952 in Houston, Texas, USA. He had two sisters and two brothers. His father was an engineering draftsman and his mother was a choreographer and dancer. He was of English, Irish and Scottish descent.

Patrick Swayze started his career as a dancer, taking lessons at his mother’s dance school in Houston. After graduating from High School he moved to New York City where he attended the Harkness Ballet school. He started touring with dance companies but because of an old knee injury he had to give up professional dancing a couple of years later. He then moved out to Los Angeles where he starred in his first movie Skatetown, USA (1979). His big break came on the TV screen a couple of years later when he portrayed Orry Main in the popular TV-series North and South (1985-1986). A year later the movie Dirty Dancing (1987) catapulted him to fame of another level.

Besides for acting Patrick Swayze spent a lot of time breeding Arabian horses and he was a licensed pilot. He died of pancreatic cancer on 14th September, 2009 in Los Angeles, California, USA. He was 57.

Over all Patrick Swayze made approximately 35 movies. But which one is your favorite?

[darkshadows38]

now here's a guy my mom loves and always will love partly as an actor and partly because the man truly adored his wife which also make me like him more simply because you don't often here guys or gals praise their husbands weather they are famous or not you hear them bitch about them. they did this or that and it just gets under my skin and they tell me to never get married the list goes on but this is a guy who truly adored his wife and she also adored and still does though he's now sadly gone adored the living hell out of him too.

that's not to say they didn't have problems but you get my point, as for favorite film? i dunno really it's not Dirty Dancing though (1987) shit i haven't seen that since i think the late 90's or the early 2000's. and it's only cause having them air it 50000000000 times a year made me not watch it anymore. i love The Outsiders (1983)

Next of Kin (1989) is a favorite too another guy i really need to look at his films to think about which ones i've seen and loved. damn it's hard to believe he's gone now and it's been over a freaking decade!

I'll pass this round too. Not a fan, so I've not seen much. I hate Dirty Dancing and I managed like 15 minutes of Ghost. It only leaves Donnie Darko, and I can't make a list with just one movie.

 

[darkshadows38]

there are some movies of his that are damn good that really aren't talked about that much well not as much as say Ghost (1990) or Dirty Dancing if you want a really good laugh seek him out on SNL in (1990) the sad thing is they have cut his episode to shit since it 1st aired cause some of the funniest things were in that episode it's a personal favorite of mine

Thanks to those who have voted so far!

now here's a guy my mom loves and always will love partly as an actor and partly because the man truly adored his wife which also make me like him more simply because you don't often here guys or gals praise their husbands weather they are famous or not you hear them bitch about them. they did this or that and it just gets under my skin and they tell me to never get married the list goes on but this is a guy who truly adored his wife and she also adored and still does though he's now sadly gone adored the living hell out of him too.

I totally agree with you. Patrick and Lisa was a great couple. I loved them. I read the books she wrote, his autobiography "Time of my life" and also the book she wrote after his passing "Worth Fighting for" last year and the books brought me to tears. It was so weird since I knew how the story would end before I started reading and yet when I got to the end I found myself rooting for him to pull through and live just a little longer. It's strange that it's been so many years since he passed.

Also I just love this dance performance that Patrick Swayze made with his wife Lisa Niemi from 1994:

Another movie I can recommend if you haven't seen it is this one:

I love that movie!

I'll pass this round too. Not a fan, so I've not seen much. I hate Dirty Dancing and I managed like 15 minutes of Ghost. It only leaves Donnie Darko, and I can't make a list with just one movie.

Actually you totally can join in even if you only want to vote for one movie. I have done that in the past with some actors that I am not that familiar with their work.

I’ve actually never seen this one. I notice Lisa produced it with him and she even directed it. I have to check this out.
