More Movies to discuss

Here´s another that seems to be slammed by a lot of critics:
"Search and Destroy"from 1995.
I thought it was a marvelous,off beat film which unfortunately only received a video release over here.I was lucky enough to see it during a film festival and the audience loved it.
The directorial début of David Salle,an artist based in New York(I think)
The cast was sent down from the heavens.

It seems that these films are beyond criticism!!!
Helllooooooooo.....

You look so lonely here. I wish I could say I saw Search and Destroy. I have seen it many times in Lackluster Video, but I must have avoided it after hearing bad reviews. That usually doesn't deter me, and I like Ileana Douglas and Griffin Dunne. Come to think of it, I seem to remember them in a scene at an airport next to a private plane, so maybe I caught part of it at some point. I had Independent Film Channel back then and I believe it used to play on it.

How about the film version of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? If a remake was in the works, whom would you cast as George and Martha?

In the original version, directed by Mike Nichols, Richard Burton played George. Elizabeth Taylor was Martha.

Larry,see it for heavens sake!!!It´s a scream.

Thanks hebba, I think it occasionally shows up on one of the two or three movie cable channels I have. Wonder if its out on dvd.

Did you see After Hours? Also with Dunne, offbeat dark comedy. For some reason I think Scorsese might have directed.

If I were remaking WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF, I would cast:

the great Judy Davis as Martha

James Woods as George

Ethan Hawke as the young professor

and Diane Lane as his wife

LarryBS,I saw After Hours and it WAS a Scorsese film.I think Dunne is great fun to watch.He´s pretty marvelous in Search and Destroy as is the entire cast.

Oho, larry -- we might not always agree (obviously) but your casting of a remake of "Virginia Wolff" is excellent.

Well, I think Diane Lane is great, but isn't she a bit old (at 38) to play the impressionable young wife?
