Without the world's all-time greatest surgeon/physicist/lead-vocalist there would never have been a Jack Burton. Don't know the history?

I can no longer stand by and allow one of the greatest movies of ALL TIME to not be mentioned at all. "Big Trouble in Little China." I will need a complete blog (under construction)to describe this film's wonder and magic. Considering your myopic thinking I will not distress myself in trying to enlighten a heathen. By the way, I love your blog. Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-20392847198668595612007-06-20T11:05:00.000-05:002007-06-20T11:05:00.000-05:00I cannot argue much against your list, but I alway...I cannot argue much against your list, but I always die a little inside when people make a list of great movies and do not include "Jaws." It is the perfect blockbuster film. Everything about it (with the exception of the production itself) is flawless. The characters are richly developed, the suspense is actually suspenseful, the effects are seemless, and it has an ending so rousing you forget that sharks don't actually hold large metal objects in their mouths for long periods of time. And Williams' score is a classic. While I love "Raiders..", I will never place it ahead of "Jaws." And try to tell me that the monologue about the USS Indianopolis isn't brilliant. Or the scene where Roy Scheider is drunk at the dinner table. Watch the dinner scene again, but don't watch Scheider. Watch Dreyfuss and Lorraine Gary. Brilliant.Wretched Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691397733214664019noreply@blogger.com
