Albumen - can I ask - what did you think of the Blue Lagoon?

I saw it when I was about 14 and never got to the end. Just wondered whether it was worth revisiting?

Brendan Gleeson in In Bruges and Guy Pearce in LA Confidential stick in my mind as truly great acting performances. And Dennis Hopper's farewell scene in True Romance is also a stunning display.

Can't believe I've only just seen this thread. Absolute classic Spielberg (the poster, not the film director).

US: outlandish statement made as fact.
Everyone else: er, no,

Superb.

BULLY Ok, I may have gone into hyperbole and over egged the cake but I still think it was a superb performance. I am me, take it or leave it, ain't gonna change aged 50 am I ?

Good to see he deservedly won the best actor Oscar - first person to win it three times.

At least Amour got Best Foreign. A shame it didn't sullenly walk the floor with the rest of the mostly-mediocre and nationalistic pap in comparison.
