Current top 3: The Nice Guys (Here’s the synopsis from IMDB: In 1970s Los Angeles, a mismatched pair of private eyes investigate a missing girl and the mysterious death of a porn star.)
American Beauty is my all time favourite. As a real estate agent, Carolyn’s motivation for selling a house has been a great example for me in my career. I always start the day saying ‘’I will sell this house today’’ like she says in the movie. Sometimes you could have difficult tasks like selling a hotel for sale in Canary Islands but as long as you keep yourself motivated and don’t sink into dispear you are always having a chance.
Cleavon Little was a genius, and he and Gene Wilder were brilliant together in the movie. As were Harvey Korman and Madeline Kahn. The racial epithets that Pryor and Brooks decided to include in the script disappointed me, but I do recognize it as a very creative and otherwise ground-breaking movie.
It just dawned on my lightening fast mind what the title of that movie really meant; it was good back then; it’s even gooder now.
Wonder what kind of hot sauce they used in those beans? :person_facepalming:
