  2. Elliott in Hannah is a gem. Deathtrap, Dressed to Kill, Sleuth.
    Jaws 4:The Revenge.

  3. I've always thought him very talented but I never could quite get there with him as a romantic leading man. I think it was those horrible windshield size glasses he wore for years.

    Anyway most of my faves are from his later career.

    My top 10 in order:

    Cider House Rules
    Gambit
    Miss Congeniality
    Educating Rita
    Hannah and Her Sisters
    Sleuth
    The Quiet American
    A Shock to the System
    Alfie
    The Ipcress Files

  4. bdog -- lol, I almost mentioned Jaws: The Revenge, which is one of my most genuinely guilty pleasures. I grew up loving that movie and saw it countless times as a little kid. I know in my heart that it is abysmal but I don't care, its silliness gets me

    I really need to see The Quiet American again
