The first time I saw the movie I didn't like it but I'm obsessed with it now.
Why remake it?  
Hades07 : 8/22/2014 11:07 am : link
...it is already a good movie and can be watched in it's original form. It is not like the message has lost it's meaning or the movie is so old it needs a technological upgrade.

To be clear I don't want it remade.. Just seems like a character driven piece that a lot lf top actors would love to play.

I was born in the early 80s, so while I have personal memories of the time, I wasn't too culturally aware. So when I see stuff like this, I'm amazed that we ever survived such a period.

That I enjoyed but appear to be underrated are John Turturro's "Mac" and "Things Change" with Don Ameche and Joe Mantegna. I don't know if any particular scene jumps out to me though.

As far as a scene that I liked that you don't often hear referenced was the Boogie Nights Sister Christian Scene

I think Rob Reiner 's "The Sure Thing" was underrated

and thanks to Viveca Lindfors the last scene was terrific.

The movie "Closer"  
eclipz928 : 8/22/2014 3:09 pm : link
Starring Clive Owens, Julia Roberts, Jude Law, and Natalie Portman. It got nominated for a lot of awards but I find that not many people have seen it.

Anyway, its one of my favorite movies and definitely underrated. One of the best scenes is when Owens discovers that Roberts has been screwing Jude Law and confronts her about it. I just liked the rawness of that scene, and its one of the rare times you get to see Julia Roberts on film present herself as a completely fucked in the head bitch.
I think this one's just beautifully shot...  
Britt in VA : 8/22/2014 3:45 pm : link
The director is from Richmond, VA, too, which is cool.

Plus, it's got Patrick Swayze in it, so you know it's good.

one of the best scenes in the sure thing was when Cusack sticks his head out the window and says to the cop "driving with a load not properly tied down".

I still laugh at that whole scene.
