Iām not sure anyone has mentioned this one yet. When I first saw it I was in tears of laughter even before the opening titles were finished.
Besides, this little clip seems to fit right into the times we are living in and some discussions taking place in other parts of this board.

I have always thought that Wilford Brimley should have gotten more serious consideration for best supporting actor. The official explanation was that he was only in the movie for about 10 minutes.

Agreed. He manages to make his character terrifying despite the goofy haircut. Few actors can pull it off like Bardem. Daniel Day Lewis is definitely another one.
I would double over in hysterics if this guy accosted me, but it wouldnāt be so funny when heās standing over me etching a notch in the bloodied club he took off one of his other victims. Man, is that guy an amazing actor.

I think that movie is super underrated. It was nominated for a ton of awards, but Daniel Day Lewis was the only winner of any. Itās one of those flicks that gets more impressive the more times you watch it. Definitely one of Scorseseās finer films imho.
Edit: Just googled it, and he actually didnāt win an Oscar (I thought he won Best Actor). Adrien Brody won for the Pianist, which is another reason these awards shows are a joke. Trying to cut down on the virtue signaling, but the way Hollywood has always coddled Roman Polanski, and continues to do so, is disgusting. That film shouldnāt have even been distributed in the US, yet itās celebrated. We need more celebrities in the Ricky Gervais mold.

Loved that movie. Also loved Paul Danoās performance as well. I believe Johnny Greenwood did the score or at the very least was heavily involved in its creation.
We have a customer where we have to connect to their server from time to time and their login is milkshake (followed by a password of course). And every time I connect to them I think of that particular scene.
Daniel Day-Lewis won best Actor Oscar for There Will Be Blood (another great performance of a villain), Lincoln, and My Left Foot, but just nominated for Gangs of New York.
He is one of the best performers of the recent era.

I have a friend who likes to bash him for only taking roles every few years. I guess he thinks heās overrated and entitled. Personally, I think Lewis is the greatest actor of our time.

My problem is that when I watch a movie or a serious television series, I need someone to root for. In No Country for Old Men, the people I rooted for all got killed, rather cruelly. Thatās also why I could never really get into Mad Men or The Sopranos. I appreciated the artistry, but didnāt want to spend my time watching depressing people do rotten things to each other. Iām the same way with books. Thatās why I hated Jude the Obscure. This is not a judgment on anyone elseās taste in movies. Iām just that way.
So many people love The Prestige, but itās just an okay movie, partially for this reason. Everyone is awful. You can only root for David Bowie.
Yup.
The Sandlot is a classic
