I love the movie Badlands (Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek) and don't ever see it mentioned. I think it was well received when it came out though.

 

The King of Comedy (Jerry Lewis gets kidnapped by De Niro)

 

Bagdad Cafe 

 

The Sheltering Sky     Debra Winger was amazingly monotone, but I still love it!!  :tongue_smilie:

 

Kids movie has to be Bugsy Malone!!!!!! WHY isn't this movie more popular?

ETA: when the Illusionist came out, there was another magician themed movie (The Prestige) that came out and seemed to be the popular choice. I watched both and liked the Illusionist better. My brother argued that there was no way that the Illusionist was better. Then he watched it and admitted that I was right. :D

The kids watched Tremors for the first time tonight! We roasted pumpkin seeds and got cozy. :)
