Regale us now with how "Weekend at Bernie's" and "Godfather II" are about the same.

[Professor Tiger]

Godfather and Godfather 2 are the greatest movies of all time. Godfather 3 was... tragic.

[AlabamAlum]

Correct, prof.

Regale us now with how "Weekend at Bernie's" and "Godfather II" are about the same.

Do you mean weekend a Bernie's I or II

[Professor Tiger]

One thing both GWTW and Godfather3 have in common: cousin love.

"Lou Cabrasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his signature or his brains would be on that contract."

"Boys, we're goin' toe to toe with the Russkies in nuklar combat."

"What we have heah... Is a failyah... to communicate."

"Roth has been dying of the same heart attack for 20 years."

"I coulda been a contender, but instead I'm a bum."

"Why both of you, of course."

"Don't call me surely."

[bluetick]

Probably too much of an off the cuff list, prof. How does a body leave off Goodfellas and Full Metal Jacket?

it ain't right

[Professor Tiger]

Agreed. Goodfellas and Full Metal Jacket belong on that list.

"Pauly didn't have to move fast for anybody."

"We are here to help the Vietnamese because inside every gook there is an American, trying to get out."

Mob and war movie genres should include Casino, Apocalypse Now and Patton.

[crashcourse]

havent seen 2 6 and 10 and i doubt i ever will

diehard/good bad and ugly/great escape/high noon/tarentinos movie with uma/

[Jungle Rat]

Worthless fucks.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Is there a comparable scene to this in Gone With the Wind? Oh maybe that scene where Scarlet dances with Rhett. Or where she falls down the stairs?

Who puts on a performance as good as Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, or Claude Rains in GWTW?

Speaking of this scene though...there were only three Americans with credited parts in Casablanca: Humphrey Bogart, Dooley Wilson (Sam), and Joy Page (the young Bulgarian woman). Nearly everyone else in the cast and extras was a refugee from Europe or from a country under attack by the Nazis at the time the film was being made. Very few were actually French, many were Jewish exiles, but the production of this scene had very deep meaning for nearly everyone involved in the production; supposedly half the cast had genuine tears.

[Professor Tiger]

Casablanca gave "I am shocked - SHOCKED - that..." to the world.

[sardis]

Both GWTW and Casablanca are down on the watchability index along with reruns of the Lawrence Welk Show.
