K-Pax was a great film I came across by accident. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/kpax/

I'll have to check it out. I wonder where the line is drawn between critically acclaimed films and those that are underrated. I suppose that it could be in the eye of the beholder. I've seen quite a few films that I loved, but didn't receive the recognition that they deserved.

I was dating a guy that loved it. I'll admit it was pretty gripping, and a glance at American Marines. Duval was stunning. www.imdb.com/title/tt0079239/

I always liked Robert Duvall, he was real sexy in True Grit. I must remember to dl that.

Just realised, how often I fancy the bad guys in films. Blade Runner is another springing to mind, I liked Leon, but I loved Roy Batty. WOOF!!

The movie was great. I thought I would be so bored, but I wasn't.

And there is the Sundance Film Festival that Redford is involved with.

"The Natural" is an example I agree. I liked "Money Ball" too, oh and "Miracle" and "Invincible" as well. I am female LOL, I checked!

It is brilliant. Every time you watch it, you spot little jokes that have been slipped in. ffilms.org/gregorys-girl-1981/

Oooo Jen I was forced to watch that one too.

F ing loved it.

It's like a guy cult flick.

I was the only girl there, and they would pause the movie

if anyone had to go to the bathroom.

I mean guys can pick some stupid movies, but this isn't one of them.

Peace!

Yeah like Sandra Bullock in Gravity.

One of the most unscientific, error ridden, poorly directed movies ever.

He had the air locks backwards, created sound in space (WTF), and earned hoots and howls

even from 10 YO kids.

Peace!
