I am a big Nicholas Cage and John Travolta fan. One of my favourites is "Michael" with John Travolta. It also stars Andie MacDowell from Groundhog Day and has lots of laughs but also a great story. <br />Planes, Trains & Automobiles is something our family has watched many times especially when we need a good laugh. John Candy & Steve Martin - need I say more? Also, Monty Python.Cheryl Brooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480403878902135681.post-85693123415445139732010-02-02T15:33:04.138-05:002010-02-02T15:33:04.138-05:00I guess I weigh in on both/and but lean more towar...I guess I weigh in on both/and but lean more towards the meaningful side of the ledger. <br /><br />As it happens, I did see Chocolat, and liked it, but have not see Don Juan De Marco.Carmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686168556846924176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480403878902135681.post-77117625334533247992010-02-02T15:14:15.251-05:002010-02-02T15:14:15.251-05:00Do I take this to mean you're weiging in on th...Do I take this to mean you're weiging in on the "both/and" side of the question? i.e. you like films to be both entertaining AND meaningful?<br /><br />(What about Don Juan De Marco? Chocolat?-- if we're going to talk about Johnny Depp we'd better take the chat off-line) :-)Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12989740573288200129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480403878902135681.post-74972652792685463772010-02-02T14:38:31.140-05:002010-02-02T14:38:31.140-05:00Well, since you put your status out there as a non...Well, since you put your status out there as a non-expert, I guess it is safe for me to add a word. I confess up front that I don't see many movies, so my opinion is of limited value. <br /><br />My favorite film of all time was Edward Scissorhands. It made me a big fan of Johnny Depp, and since I was already in awe of the skills of director Tim Burton, this film did nothing to change my mind. <br /><br />The parallels with the life of Jesus, the good versus evil theme, and notions of awareness versus spiritual blindness were powerful. <br /><br />Of course that movie is now approaching 20 years old!
