Hairspray - good fun, Travolta looked hot :D
:malt: Hairspray was a great movie and it was really funny.

I wouldn't watch that shit if got a full day's pay to do so. I mean, they are singing 90% of the movie right?
Yeah its really good though. You get past the fact of the singing it has so much dry humor in the movie plus it talks about all the racism from that era and takes a stand against it. I loved it.

I just watched Dog Day Afternoon again.

Pacino's god.The Attica Attica rant is so godman incredible!:D
That movie is the only hyped-up Pacino flick which I didn't like. His performance is great but I thoght the movie was boring as hell. Serpico is much better IMO.

It is pretty slow.When i first got it the DVD cover said ' Bitingly Funny',and i was all exicted about seeing Pacino in a comic role.So not having the amount of humour i expected did leave me dissapointed somewhat.Mulvaney's such a wuss.I wish real bank managers were that way too:D

Al looks like me in that movie :D

But there's no music in that movie, which is a big nicht-nicht.
Im pretty sure you look like John Cazale
:xmas:

I don't mind that, I really enjoy slow and hard to watch movies, but this one was just not interesting to me. Perhaps it's because I had such high expectations but still, Pacino rarely disapointed me.

You like Taxi Driver then?Its slow-ish too.

PS.Pacino was asked to play Travis,but he turned down the role.
Actually Taxi-Driver is the biggest disapointment for me, Dog Day is a close second. :p Another great performance but a boring movie IMO. I really had high expectations of those two movies but they just didn't cut it.

Raging Bull for example is a hundred times better movie than Taxi Driver, in all aspects. Serpico also beats Dog Day Afternoon by a mile in my book, even though critically it's supposedly weaker of the two.

Yeah I knew that.

Serpico is amazing.It isnt boring,and it has Pacino at his brilliant best.I found Taxi Driver better than Raging Bull however.I already had an idea about what to expect in the two movies,so i wasnt left dissapointed at all.

PS. number 2 : Pacino was asked to play Han Solo,but he turned down that role too!
