I rewatched The Nutty Professor a few years back...movie does not hold up at all. I used to love that movie too.

Arlington Road needs way more votes. One of the best films of 1999.

Arlington Road has Tim Robbins, and if you don't like him, well...you should, I guess is what I'm getting at here.

That's something you need to rectify as soon as possible.

The Addams Family, of course.
Also voted Sleepless in Seattle and the Game. I probably should watch Arlington Road

It has been rectified. I watched the trailer and thus have now heard of the movie. :wink:

Yes, it's the same reason Shawshank Redemption won best movie of all-time. We're all here because we love King, and it's a great adaptation of one of his stories, so I imagine most of us love it. I wonder how they will do in the head to head competitions.

The Green Mile with a nearly perfect record so far.It was me who, not voting for it, ruined the perfection (28/29).
