I just purchased this on DVD. I have never seen it before though.

can't wait to watch it!

you should make this thread over at the refuge, pal

Great, great movie. Let us know what you think, Jimbo.

i think i'm going to return it and order the special edition instead.

Well worth it, IMO. Besides the aesthetic improvements of the actual movie, the extras on disc II are awesome.

De Niro is brilliant in this one. wow.

Fucking badass movie.

Could be DeNiro's best acting job, and that's saying a LOT

It really is one of the best acting performances in film history IMO. I've never seen anything quite like it.

hes brilliant in almost everything Jimbles!

except the stupid Focker movies

I get a hard on for these kind of discoveries...

"Take people who know how to avenge themselves or, generally, how to stand up for themselves. How do they do it? If, let us say, they are seized with feelings of revenge, nothing exists within them at the moment except those feelings. Such a man will push on straight toward his goal like a raging bull with lowered horns, and only a wall might stop him."

- Notes from Underground (Fydor Dostoevsky)

yeah this is one of the greatest movies made, but Ordinary people won best picture that year.....

I really love Raging Bull. But Ordinary People's a pretty great little film also. I have nothing against it winning out.

I am a huge fan of Ordinary People. And I always forget to bring it up in movie convos and I feel guilty.

for the record i like ordinary people too, but i really think raging bull is a step above many films.

could just be my Martin bias coming out though.
