NO PARTICULAR TYPE OF MOVIE

With the exceptions of "King of Comedy" and "We're No Angels", any movie that stars Robert De Niro. I saw, just about, all of his movies. Considering that it was a comedy, he was the best actor in "Meet The Parents". He and Billy Crystal did a damn good job in "Analyze This". But as usual, Crystal carried the comedy while De Niro carried the movie.
De Niro should fire the agent that got him the job in "King Of Comedy" and "We're No Angels". Those were 2 of the worst movies that I've ever seen.
What else can be said? De Niro makes a damn good mafia actor.

 

[Juspar Emvan]

I'll give them catagories, just 'cause it seems to be the trend (in order tho). Baaaaa

Sci/Fi Star Wars, Eppisode IV:A New Hope (they got steadily worse, or at least not as great from then on)
Drama Pump up the Volume (Can you call it Drama?, it'll do)
Action Highlander (Only the original - Can you call it Action?, it'll do)
Comedy American Pie
Animated Aristocats

 

[Gaucho]

Horror: Reanimator

Without a doubt, the single best ever cunnilingus sequence involving a decapitated head.

Really. When I saw it, I wasn't sure whether to laugh out loud or get serious wood.

As I recall, I did both.

Second place goes to that early David Cronenberg flick where Marilyn Chambers had that evil, pussy-like thing in her armpit.

How come they don't make movies like that anymore?
