MGM>  4.  and the scene when Grace Kelly is in Raymond Burr's apartment

     The climax to this scene is superb, where [SPOILER WARNING!!!]
     Raymong Burr looks directly at US, the audience, and we all think
     "He KNOWS!!"  This scene, more than any other, shows how it's not
     really L.B. Jeffries peeking through the window at other people's
     lives - it's us!

I stayed and watched the credits.  Neithers of the actresses listed

I also rented this movie recently and enjoyed it.  It was like "Ghost" but
without all the idiotic subplots about finding murderers and the cliched
violent ending.  "Truly, Madly, Deeply" just stripped the same basic story
line down the characters and their feelings.  I don't remember the lead
actress' name, but her performance was wonderful.  The scene where she
breaks down and cries over the loss of her lover was truly moving, as compared
to Demi Moore's oh-so-perfect tear rolling down her cheek at the end
of "Ghost." 

Highly recommended.

Debra Winger is currently in Texas filming a movie with Steve
Martin (the title escapes me). He apparently plays some kind of
evangelist, I think not too dissimilar from the character played
by Burt Lancaster in Elmer Gantry. It should be interesting. I
think it's due out some time around Christmas.

How about - "Hurry up and get in to the car - I don't want people to see us

sees the delorean Biff drops his "nice guy" attitude and sounds more like his

Wow!  Deja vu!  I had the same experience!  I, too saw the film
after it had been out a while. I laughed hysterically at the scene
you mentioned plus the point at which Candy's telling Catherine
O'Hara's character about his polka music. But, I, too, was the

I saw previews at the theatre, and apparently Redford works for a team that get
paid to break into people's offices and houses to see how "secure" they are.
Redford's team is asked to work with the CIA on an assignment but their rule is
to never work for the govt.

A friend and I saw SWF last night, and during the credits we both said,
"Oh, this is Chrissie Hynde singing," so we stayed and watched the credits
and didn't see anything performed by Chrissie Hynde or the Pretenders.

We are also curious about what the song was.

Cameron felt, and I agree, that it slowed down the pacing of that
section of the movie.

Coicidently, this is the same reason Ridley Scott cut the scene
from _Alien_ where Ripley encouters Dallas being turned into an
egg.

Costumary bunch of lines just in case:
















I don't know who played the ambassador, but he was taking a picture of
"the big board".  I seemed to me that in the end all the talk of putting
people in a mine tunnel and saving humanity and finding one last way out
and the ambassador's picture of "the big board", shows that these people
will never stop fighting this cold war.  (now pretty darn hot since the
doomsday machine is about to hit), anyway even right til the end the
ambassador had to get his picture, and George C. Scott had to get
his plan out there to be discussed as an alternitive. That's my
humble interpretation anyway.  I finally saw this film on TNT last
week so it is very fresh in my memory.

Including the female villagers that get raped and massacred?  Bzzzzzzzzzzt.

This is a very pointless thread.  There have been planty of movies with no
women, and others with no men.  Why are we endlessly repeating them?  And
trying to think of others?

How about movies with no red-heads, no-dogs, no-stop signs, no-astronauts, 
no-computers, no-infants, no-birds, no-orangutans, no-wombats, no-flippers,
no-breakfast cereals, no-top hats, no-pencils, no-rubber balls, no-yellow
bikinis, no-cyclopses, no-bannana peels...

You get the idea...
