Anyway, has anyone seen the new Will Farrell flick? The Candidate?

In as 'Good At it Gets' his character of Melvin Udall exemplifies some of Jack's best talents...his ability to offend, demean, intimidate, surprise, charm, and be philosophical. I love the line he gives to the Latino housekeeper...

Loved the jazz music in the restaurant scene you showed above...Danielle Brisebois "My Only"



Haley could do an album like this (almost sounds like Haley in the song at times)...that would be as good as it gets! :hearts

^ LOL - "Sweet Cherelann" is what comes to mind when I think about you,

So was "I felt like I was in another dimension" a result of seeing Black Stallion, or was it a result of the 60's?

It does look like a movie I'd like and I've added it to the "must see" list
(along with about 6 others from this thread ).

And Buzz, thanks for the Anger Management vid. I forgot about that movie, but I loved it- Super funny! Of course it's hard to miss with Jack Nicholson in a comedy role. Also, Adam Sandler, even though I'm not a big fan, I have seen a few of his movies and loved them all (Happy Gilmore, Mr. Deeds and 50 First Dates). And your post also reminded me of a movie that is in the running for my all time favorite, "As Good as It Gets":

Melvin Udall's greatest hits from As Good as it Gets

And perhaps my favorite scene from a movie (for too many reasons to list):

As good as it Gets - Legendary Jack Nicholson

Not that this is a typical reaction, but my sister-in-law called today and said she was totally disappointed in the latest Will Ferrell movie. She said it was so crude and humorless that she almost walked out, except she was with female friends. A total departure from his typical family friendly humor...didn't expect that from a Will Ferrell movie.
