    Reading all these lists...I start remembering the whole movie. I love movies....

    OK, this is perhaps the weirdest suggestion, and if I hadn't actually seen the movie, I would have said "no way could this guy do this part"....but Al Pacino played Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice" (2004 version) and he was so good, I was cheering at the end when he doesn't get his pound of flesh.
    And Lynn Collins plays Portia and she is brilliant - a native Texan who pulls off a great Shakespearian role.

    I have to agree, he was great as Shylock. That whole movie was a very pleasant surprise.
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.

    Oh my goodness....

    I love quirky, "low" budget movies.

    This one had three ALL-STAR stars and roles.

    The Professional- Jean Reno, Gary Oldman and Natalie Portman.

    ---------------------

    Raising Arizona- Nick Cage.

    Raging Bull-De Niro.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    John Turturro keeps turning up in some of the best roles in offbeat movies. A favorite is his trash talking bowling creep character Jesus Quintana in The Big Lebowski.
    The more I watch that movie, the more I laugh - Coen Brothers stuff is truly funny.
