The best film of the 80s - Ghostbusters v The Shining

I'll give you Kevin, but versatile actors in Hollywood tend to be women, or Englishmen.

Nick Cage can do acting with long hair and acting with short hair.

I've even seen him act with a beard.

 

[Rorschach]

It would be easier to list the male actors of whom that isn't true.

Ben Kingsley. Um. I'm struggling.

Daniel Day Lewis

 

[Daisuk]

Why are people voting for Ghostbusters? Are you guys 11 years old?

His best movie is Raising Arizona, where he plays someone who doesn't know how to act.

Don't upset them.

Snatch
Burn After Reading
Twelve Monkeys
Kalifornia

No. Not like Hugh Grant.

[Glenda's Legs]

Whenever I think of Ghostbusters, my aging mind conjures up images of Renta Ghost.

The Shining, what a great book and what a great movie. As a Stephen King fan there were parts of the book I missed in the film, but you can't have it all. Love Ghostbusters too, but this is an easy one for me.

The Shining goes through to the last 16.

I'm upset to see a fudging brilliant family film go out but I think we'll see a lot of great films fall at the first with such a strong field.

 

[Lemonade Money]

Finally finished watching The Shining. Great film but way too long and drawn out.

That could be partly due to the era. You watch older movies and they are often much more slowly paced. We have been conditioned (force fed) by the movie industry to expect constant action.

I've always enjoyed it but found it hard to get through. Same with Brazil.

That is a good point, you do not get as many movies that build up the suspense as much anymore, its all wam bang thank you mum nowadays.

And some even combine constant explosions, with extortionate lengthy and totally dumbass movies. #michaelbay
