      James Hetfield widely regarded by who ?? The deniro fan base 😂? Don’t get me wrong raging bull is amazing but no where close to the best performance ever. Jacks performance in one flew over the cookoos nest is clearly better, Daniel day in my left foot is clearly better, pachino in scent of a woman and both The Godfather’s is just as good if not better than deniro in raging bull

      MrGabeanator Buy the DVD because you'll watch the movie many times. It's just that good. Helen Hunt's wet t-shirt scene is a keeper. Very nice set.
      There are maybe 50 memorable lines in the flick.
      Maybe the best is when Jack asks Helen to go with him when he takes Greg (who plays a gay character) to Baltimore.
      She refuses.
      Jack says she has to because for one thing, she owes him, and for the other, "I'm afraid he's gonna pull the stiff one-eye on me."
      Helen does a double take. "The stiff one eye?" Hilarious.
      Another is at the restaurant when he tells her, "you make me want to be a better man." She falls apart. What a nice compliment. She basically offers to sleep with him that night.
      Of course Jack blows it right after that when he says, "I don't get it. I have to wear a coat and tie to get in here and they let you in with a house dress." Boom! She storms out.

      @puplover7991 8 лет назад +11

      Mundi Cox You know, DDL, while excellent, to me does not belong in the same pantheon as Pacino, DeNiro, Brando. DDL takes off years between performances and has less than half the credits of the other guys (I know he's younger.) He has the time, energy and focus to completely commit to a new character this way moreso than the others. Pacino, DeNiro in their primes never did this. One killer performance after the other for those guys. I mean, Pacino, did both Godfathers, Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon all in a span of 5 years whereas DDL takes off 5 years just to recuperate. Also, his movies don't have much re-watchability. Who wants to see My Left Foot or Lincoln more than once? Whereas Dog Day, Godfathers, Scarface, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Goodfellas, Raging Bull all fantastic to watch again and again.

    • @mundicox8951
      @mundicox8951 8 лет назад +5

      pup lover Thing is, Day Lewis has already entered the calibre of being called one of the greatest actors ever despite doing only less than 20 films in his entire career, so that alone tells you smth. Plus with him, he's never been in his prime, he's always been good and only gets better. That can't be said about De Niro or Pacino who have arguably gotten stale as they've grown, and someone like De Niro has had very questionable film choices in the past few years.
      But it is a shame that Day Lewis has turned down so many good roles.

      They created a huge politically correct and biased opinion that those in Hollywood must follow to be able to keep their "fame". They play a nice card where they want world piece and more taxes. Liberals (not all) tend to play a "nice" card where they are the most educated and newest opinions on topics. Look at the Oscars last year. Because no black person was nominated there was a walkout because of oppression, yet if you understand anything about statistics it's easy to understand that it's logically just a result of numbers. People who become actors typically are white considering they are the majority population in America which equals more talent to choose from. There are only 13% of blacks in America and most of them aren't that interested in taking acting as a career. So statistically you would expect there to be almost always a white person winning. Why does colour matter? It doesn't. It's built on performance/talent. Liberals would use something like that to their advantage to make the public believe it was true and that they are very offended/concerned that there is this "oppression" on black actors and actresses in America so they will look good. Of course There's more to it but I would be talking forever. Anyways notice who the richest woman in America is... A black woman. Okay? Nothing to do with race so let's not pull cards like that.

Kinnear was excellent in his role in As Good as It Gets but I felt Williams was so long overdue for an Oscar that he genuinely deserved it even though As Good as It Gets is one of my top ten favorite films while Good Will Hunting isn't. If only Williams and Kinnear could have been co-Oscar winners that year....

How rare we get a glimpse into a life like this and the layers of complexity they serve. Wonderful

      Francois Viel That goes without saying. But there are plenty of smart chicks who are stone cold ugly and Frances ain't ugly. Not by a long shot.
      The best I can do is "real". Or "genuine". Typical Hollywood women wear their supposed beauty like a suit of armor. You'll never get past that armor to find the true woman. And even if you do, all you'll find is a ball of insecurity and self-doubt. Even self-loathing.
      But you get none of that with Frances McDormand. That's what makes her so enormously attractive. A real woman. A "man's woman".
      For a clearer definition of what I'm saying, go to a rodeo and get a look at women who run barrel races. In my mind, Frances could be a barrel racer.
