I thought DeNiro was better in several unheralded movies -- King of Comedy, Midnight Run -- than he was in The Deer Hunter. {nm}

Muppet Movie (B) (Rainbow Connection A, everything else B-); The Deer Hunter (B+) {nm} DTXbro Nov 28, 07:44

I think The Deer Hunter (which is in my top 10 all-time) is probably De Niro's most underrated performance, even though he was nominated for Ruthian23 Nov 28, 08:18

King of Comedy was a great performance, too, and since he wasn't nominated for it, you may be right. I haven't seen Midnight Run yet. {nm} Ruthian23 Nov 28, 09:51

Midnight Run is among my all-time top ten. I sometimes fantasize about writing a sequel (while DeNiro, Grodin are still available). {nm} DTXbro Nov 28, 09:54

Actually, I have seen Midnight Run. I was thinking of a different De Niro that I hadn't seen. I wasn't as impressed by either De Niro or the Ruthian23 Nov 28, 11:00

Based on your top 10, we seem to have pretty similar taste in movies. There's not one movie in your Top 10 that I didn't really like, and Ruthian23 Nov 28, 11:09

How do you know my top ten? Genuine question: Don't recall posting it, don't even recall compiling it, so I'm not sure I know my top 10{nm} DTXbro Nov 28, 18:46

I get it now. HSX Profile. Just added actors and directors. {nm} DTXbro Nov 28, 19:13

They've actually been discussing doing exactly that. {nm} tawdryhepburn Nov 28, 11:21

Well, if they're talking about having me write a sequel, they haven't gotten as far as informing me yet. {nm} DTXbro Nov 28, 18:43

i gotta ask: the new muppet one or the original? {nm} islander Nov 28, 09:41

Sorry. The current one, which I now know is "The Muppets" rather than "The Muppet Movie." The song was great, the rest was mediocre.{nm} DTXbro Nov 28, 09:51

Right...technically the new one is "The Muppets" or the Muppet movie (lower case) {nm} Buy StarBondFund Nov 28, 09:51

"Amelie" (A+), "The Three-Penny Opera" (1931, A) {nm} second gary Nov 28, 07:53

Yes, Amelie is one of my favorite movies of all time. Sheer movie bliss. {nm} goodvibe61 Nov 28, 08:41

It would be a great double bill with "City Lights." {nm} second gary Nov 28, 10:51

While you were out getting popcorn, Adams and Segel attempted a few musical bits. [shudder] {nm} DTXbro Nov 28, 10:15

Haha, it was definitely stronger when the Muppets were around, but I thought the musical bits fit in okay with the movie. I especially liked Ruthian23 Nov 28, 11:01

Had you ever seen 12 Angry Men before? That's one of those movies that I wish I could go back and see for the first time again. {nm} Ruthian23 Nov 28, 11:03
