Two great movies that you don’t hear about much. Another fav of mine is Chasing Amy, but it’s been mentioned…
Leon the Professional - sometimes known as “The Professional,” sometimes “Leon.” One of the first appearances by Natalie Portman when she was 12 or something, she’s awesome. Great story - action, humor, heart, the whole thing.
Stealing Beauty - see this one just for Liv Tyler’s hot hotness, see it again with your girlfriend because it’s a beautiful and tasteful film about young love, virginity, and the loss thereof!
Anyone seen Waking Life yet? It’s on my shortlist.
oh man… the Professional is one of my all time favorites. He’s an amazing actor. There are a couple people that I will see anything they are in. He is one, and the French actor (I can’t think of his name for the life of me) the hunchback from “Name of the Rose”.
Well, Leon is French movie, believe it or not… Directed by Luc Besson, produced by Patrice Ledoux, lit by thierry Arbrogast… This actor is Jean Reno, and he has nothing to do with Ron Perlman, the hunchback from the Name of the Rose, except that he also plays in french movies (‘City of Lost Children’ by Caro and Jeunet, Alien Resurrection by Jeunet).
By the way, I’ve just seen Attack of the Clone. The romance almost killed me, but the action is amazing, truely amazing. I really enjoyed it a lot (at least a lot more than The Phantom Menace). And I know what you mean when you say that Yoda is DA MAN !!!
