Wow, I was blown away. A movie that was prolly cheap to make (everything goes on in one room where the jury are trying to reach a verdict), but has everything, exellent dialogue, funny and sad moments, heated discussions, prejudices, etc.

Great movie and IMDB does it justice.

Your a lot more open to different things than most people your age Martin.It's to your credit.

There was another adaption directed by William Friedkin ( he of the Exorcist ) and starring James Gandolfini ,William Peterson ,Edward Olmos and George C. Scott among others in which race plays a bigger role.

Is that the one with Jack Lemmon also? I was contemplating on which one to watch.

Btw, I watched it with my 18 year old brother, who's not into old movies. I figured he'd do the usual, watch the first 10 minutes then say it's boring and go away. He stayed till the end.

PS: I am a lot more open than most people my age. I'm doing my best to change that (that is get m friends to be more open, not the other way around, lol).

PPS: Instead of spamming you guys should post what movies you watched last, lol.

Internal Affairs- Richard Gere, Andy Garcia, Laurie Metcalf.

Playing against type, Gere is a thoroughly corrupt and insidiously vicious L.A. cop.
Garcia and Metcalf are the internal affairs team who stumble upon Gere's organization and try to take him down.

Not as epic as L.A. Confidential, and suffering from being set in more modern times, IA still features very good performances from both Gere and Garcia but Metcalf is kind of wasted.

Not a waste of time.

The Damned United- Michael Sheen.

I'll admit that I know nothing about English football and am mystified by the politics and fanatical loyalties.
Fortunately, my ignorance was not a hindrance to enjoying every minute of this film.

This may be the greatest sports film ever that actually has very little of the sport featured.
It's all about ego and human frailty and Michael Sheen does a great job projecting both.

He's amazing really...in the past few months I've enjoyed his performances as David Frost, Tony Blair, a werewolf and now, an English football manager.
What range.

I'm not sure if my outsiders perspective added to or detracted from my perception of The Damned United- maybe more familiarity with the nuances would have helped, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Plus, it featured Deep Purple's Hush, one of the all time great songs and even has Colm Meaney in a major role...what more could you ask for really?
