never 'got' HEAT

I love GOODFELLAS and CASINO, and a bunch of other mid 90s crime type flicks like FARGO and USUAL SUSPECTS (the 4 movies I just mentioned would be in my top 10 movies of  all time)  but I've never made it to the end of HEAT, after 4 or 5 attempts. doesn't grab me at all... people are/were obsessed with this film though!

Before I became celibate in 2004, I was in Heat... Oops, sorry, wrong thread 😳😉😉

MAGNOLIA definitely could've used some revision and serious editing. The Phillip Baker Hall and Cruise/Hoffman/Robards threads are very strong - all the Macy and Reilly stuff just distracts and detracts.

I agree with you about HEAT; once was enough for me and I have no desire to revisit it.

yeah I don't actively try and dislike any movie, but when I have an extra incentive to genuinely want to like one and I can't, it's kind of disheartening...

Billy Madison is hilarious.

Sorry , I never got Adam Sandler's appeal. He makes me want to scratch my eyes and ears out. My brain, too. Though surprisingly, he's been good in non-comedy roles.

I confess, there is that one absolute classic line in "Billy Madison," though.

I don't know if it's a generational thing, but he was huge when I was a kid. His comedy cds were on heavy rotation in high school.

I can see how his style might grate on people. I think he's genuinely got talent but stays in his 'lane' and kinda just caters to the lowest common denominator.

Wedding Singer was great, 50 First Dates, Punch Drunk Love.
