Oh he made Contact also?  Now I know whom to punch in the face for that one.  You wait a whole movie to see the alien and its her damn father.    >:( >:( >:(
I’ve lied to men who wear belts. I’ve lied to men who wear suspenders. But I’d never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both a belt and suspenders.

Not his fault. Based on a book. Blame Carl Sagan.

Anyway, I voted Contact because it was a demn fine film, good old Carl Sagan, he was a visionary and Jodie was brill. Sam's right.

My favorite is still Used Cars. So many great lines.

Rudy: C'mon Jeff! You've seen how bad business is. Thanks to Fuchs, our name is mud! Look... we had nuns, protesting out front when I got here this morning.
Jeff: Nuns?
Rudy: Yeah. I had to have Jim turn the firehose on them.
Big Jim: [holds up the still wet firehose] And I knocked them motherCINECAST!ers right on they asses, too.

Besides it being overly sentimental... and besides its depositing of such annoyingly iconic quotes as 'life is like a box of chocolates' into pop-culture ...  it also beat out Pulp Fiction for Best Picture at the Academy Awards .

For that reason alone, I hate it.   >:(
Diane, I'm holding in my hand a small box of chocolate bunnies.
