Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on April 10, 2008, 12:15:14 am
Dave started up this game and I thought it was pretty cool.  Seeing as those threads are gone because of the recent site crash, I thought it would be fun to start it up again.  For each actor, pick the movie you like best with him in it. 

Harrison Ford

George Clooney

Sean Connery

Robin Williams

Nicholas Cage

Denzel Washington

Brad Pitt

Robert DeNiro

Matt Damon

Tom Cruise

I liked Garp but I gotta ask how that is your personal favorite?  All that sticks out in my head is the driveway scene but I haven't seen it in 25 years.  "...to have it bitten off in a Buick" bothered me for a couple of reasons!

apparently,Fau doesn't like Matt Damon,he listed the movie where he was an extra in...Lol...

I liked Garp but I gotta ask how that is your personal favorite?  All that sticks out in my head is the driveway scene but I haven't seen it in 25 years.  "...to have it bitten off in a Buick" bothered me for a couple of reasons!

It came out in 1982,but I didn't see it till like 1984 on HBO,I was till a kid.It was one of the first Movie (Adult movie) that I remember that showed me Someone as a child,then adult,then dying..It went through the whole Gamut of things,He we was a boy learning about sex,to being in high school,to getting married, and having kids,etc,etc..Life's not perfect,it's not the fairy tale,My mom was going to die,I was going to die.....I think I watched it because I went 'Ohh Robin Williams,from Mork and Mindy!"

It's had moments/lines I always remember...
(John Lithgow in drag,Roberta)
Garp speaking,You look Familar...
Roberta, You like Football?
Garp yeah?
Roberta,I played tight end for the 49ers...I had a great set of hands.....

The plane crashing into the house,The dog biting Garps ear,then like 10 years later,Garp bites the Dogs ear off....

Excuse me for the thread hijack....
