:thumbsdown:

Double :thumbsdown:

As for the OP, if liked Kevin Spacey in Amercian Beauty, you MUST WATCH The Usual Suspects if you haven't already, in fact watch it even if you didn't like him.

Another movie with Kevin Spacy

Pay It Forward

A little on the Chick Flick side but we need more good human spirit movies.

YOU ARE NOW GOING TO GET SEVERAL REPLIES AS TO WHY SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION IS A GOOD MOVIE. PEOPLE WILL IGNORE THAT YOU SAID "OVER-RATED." FEW PEOPLE CAN STOMACH, EMOTIONALLY, JUST WHAT OVER-RATED MEANS.

I THINK THAT IT'S STILL VERY MUCH WORTH WATCHING.

IN MY OWN EXCEL FILE, I HAVE IT BELOW THE GODFATHERS I AND II AND ABOVE CASABLANCA AND DR STRANGELOVE OR HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB
