Tough group...

[mae]

Very tough, wish all four would move on.

[Still Servant]

Shit. Groundhog Day or Good Will Hunting is going to get knocked out.

[fernandito]

Just put GWH ahead.

[Heather19]

I really want Being John Malkovich to move on, but it's probably doubtful.

[mae]

At this point, after 18 votes, I'd say yes, it's done.

[fernandito]

I rewatched Good Will Hunting a few days ago. What a great movie. I never cry during movies but that final scene with them together always brings me close to tears.

Fun fact: The scene where Bill Murray and the groundhog drive off the cliff and the truck explodes was filmed in my hometown.

I pass by the actual rock quarry where it was filmed in all the time.

I rewatched Good Will Hunting a few days ago. What a great movie. I never cry during movies but that final scene with them together always brings me close to tears.

It's one of my favorite films.

I'm sure I mentioned this at one point, but I saw Good Will Hunting in theaters with my mom and sister. My mom had one of the biggest misreads in films history at the part you're talking about. We never let her live it down.

The movie theater was completely silent and Sean is trying to comfort Will by telling him it's "Not his fault." He keeps repeating this and slowly approaches Will. Will gets increasingly distraught.

No joke, my mom yells out in the theater like she just figured out Bruce Willis was dead the entire time in The Sixth Sense, "OH! HE'S GAY!!!!

:lol:

The Silence of the Lambs (79.17%)

Being John Malkovich (33.33%)
Groundhog Day (29.17%)

I don't like those apples.

Actually, I do like GWH, but preferred BJM. No biggie.
