Oscar - Something Stinks in Hollywood But it wasn't this movie! Award Winning Cast! Probably Stallone's best opportunity to break away from the Rambo and Rocky images, this is one of the most enjoyable, pleasant, family entertaining movies ever made. Where is should be a classic, it was deep-shelved and removed from any video, DVD or online streaming lists. But as the movie's own tag-line said: "In crime and comedy, timing is everything". While Stallone takes center stage, this beautifully arranged supporting staff, wonderfully done cinematography and brilliantly written script make this a movie for the masses that should have had a 2nd and 3rd life in video and DVD sales... and would be one of the most viewed videos on Netflix given the chance. Just the sound bytes of Tim Curry's Dr. Thornton Poole, Peter Riegert's Aldo, Chazz Palminteri's Friendly thug Connie... If you don't catch yourself off guard laughing and this fast moving quippy dialog, you are missing your humor gene.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Comedy

Disenchanted with the daily drudge of crushing rocks on a prison farm in Mississippi, the dapper, silver-tongued Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney) busts loose. Except he's still shackled to his own chain-mates from the chain gang -- bad-tempered Pete (John Turturro) and sweet, dimwitted Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson). With nothing to lose and buried loot to regain -- before it's lost forever in a flood -- the three embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this hilarious offbeat road picture. Populated with strange characters, including a blind prophet, sexy sirens, and a one-eyed Bible salesman (John Goodman), it's an odyssey filled with chases, close calls, near misses, and betrayal that will leave you laughing at every outrageous and surprising twist and turn.
