Pee-wee's Big Adventure is a better Tim Burton film.

Hey now! No ignoring my posts!

Yeah, I noticed that earlier but didn't know if it was a case of not paying attention. So, I'll respond to Brad, who was the last one to di it correctly and let you guys decide how to handle it.

But Charlton Heston was even campier in Ben-Hur.

 

[Lew Crippen]

The 1925 version of Ben Hur is shorter (making it much better).

 

[Bill McA]

Before Fred Niblo took on Ben-Hur, he directed one of Valentino's most famous films, Blood and Sand

 

[Marc Fedderman]

I'm not sure what the hell happened. Someone enlighten me. John? Brad?

 

[Brad Porter]

Not your fault, Marc. I took it from Chinatown to PotA. Jason took it from Chinatown to Batman. John corrected course and took it from PotA to Ben-Hur.

Then Bill McA came in and drove the train off the rails into obscure-ville again.

[Jason Harbaugh]

Yeah sorry about that. I completely misread Brads post. Figures I try and jump into this thing and already muck it up.

 

[Lew Crippen]

What’s obscure about movies from the 20s?

But back on topic, Rudolph Valentino may have been good in Blood and Sand, but his iconic role was The Sheik.

BTW Jason, not a problem jumping in, just go with the (current flow).

 

[george kaplan]

Loretta Young was clearly much better in The Bishop's Wife

 

[Bill McA]

Who could forget Elsa Lanchester's iconic role in Bride of Frankenstein

 

[Walter Kittel]

My favorite Ian McKellan performance was as James Whale in Gods and Monsters.

- Walter.

 

[Lew Crippen]

Outstanding segue Walter, but my favorite Redgrave performance was in The Quiet American

Donnie Darko

Jake Gyllenhaal was sexier, I mean better, in Brokeback Mountain.

 

[Rain]

I think every single individual involved with Brokeback Mountain probably hit their artistic and creative peak with that film, but isn't it interesting that Randy Quaid was also in another really good movie that Larry McMurtry was involved in writing....The Last Picture Show.

(And Heath was sexier than Jake...and hell of a performance too...just thought I'd throw that in...and the Bottoms brothers were pretty hot looking circa the latter film...but I digress...)

 

[Brook K]

But Jeff Bridges would hit his apex as everybody's favorite inbiber of White Russian's - The Dude in The Big Lebowski

 

[tyler payne]

But Tara Reid was better in... ahhh... umm... Fuck it Julianne Moore was better in Boogie Nights

 

[Lew Crippen]

Magnolia was an even better movie than Boggie Nights.

 

[Brad Porter]

I liked Ricky Jay more in House of Games. He's never been sexy in anything.
