Big Business w/ Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin. 1987. It's a great silly movie for a light time if you don't feel like thinking. haha. Also, I love that it starts off in the 40s- Sing Sing Sing is the opening theme. :D And later, one of Midler's characters wears a lot of 80s does 40s. Brings back memories, since I was a senior in high school at that time, and saw the movie in a theater with a friend.

Rose White starring kyra Sedgwick. The first time I saw this movie was years ago while looking for Hallmark Hall of Fame movies to barrow from the Library. And remembered some of these movies were set in the past 1700s,1940s-present day.
Rose White was set in the 1940s after WWII. A father and daughter flee poland before Hitler invaded. Leaving behind a sister and wife. Seventeen years latter Rayzel(Rose) has left her past behind her with a new life and name. Happy and successful in her Manhattan apartment and her upscale department store job. Rose keeps her past hidden from her friends. Until one day her long-lost sister a concentration camp survivor comes to america. Now Rose must face the ghosts of the past to find her dreams for the future.
One of my all time favorite movies.

Not a movie exactly, but this collection of classic film bloopers is too good not to pass on.

Good stuff. Yes, you can understand him.

Here is the deal while Caddyshack is considered an iconic film of the time, it underutilized many of the comedic actors. It is clever in some parts but as subtle as a hammer in others. As a big name vehicle it received a greater push in the market. In comparison easy money boarders on an independant no-name film, it has subtilties that are on another level. Here also remains a great treatment of the life of the NY-NJ uban suburban existance and a truly fine commentary on the lives of Italian Americans that may be lost on outsiders. Perhaps it is like an inside joke that if you don't really know the context it just sdoesn't work for you.

The best visual is when they go to pick up the wedding cake and the store sign says "Bakery & Scungili" which if it needs to be explained is lost in translation. As a former NYer with ties to the Italian American community I would have to say Easy Money hands down and I have cousins that will echo that sentiment.

Do they bake the Scungili or are there too many arms? I saw that int he movie too but it just flashes by quickly and you just go hmmmmm.
There IS in your face hilarity in Caddy Shack. You can't miss it. The comedy is classic.
Easy Money was a waste of Dangerfield. Him as an I talian. It stretches the bounds of believability for certain. :rofl:

Anonymous is a 2011 political thriller and pseudo-historical drama film. Directed by Roland Emmerich and written by John Orloff, the movie is a fictionalized version of the life of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, an Elizabethan courtier, playwright, poet and patron of the arts. Starring Rhys Ifans (de Vere) and Vanessa Redgrave (Queen Elizabeth I), Anonymous utilizes emerging VFX CG technology to recreate exterior period backgrounds in and around old London, circa 1550–1604. Set within the political atmosphere of the Elizabethan court, the film presents Lord Oxford as the true author of Shakespeare's plays.

"Rampart" Artistic and technical tour de force. Great ensemble cast but this is a Woody Harrelson vehicle. Director Oren Moverman and DC Bobby Bukowski are talents to keep an eye on.
