Ignoring A Star Is Born, the only one I'd vaguely dispute there would be Sleepy Hollow, but it is repeatedly watchable and I'll give it a pass because young Christina Ricci (when she was chunky) gave me a funny feeling in my tummy (see The Opposite Of Sex).Quote:

Not having seen Southern Comfort seems both a serious oversight on your part and - given its ubiquity on telly in the 80s and 90s - virtually impossible. Top, top work by Powers Boothe.
I didn't like that man in No Country For Old Men. He didn't have a kind face.Quote:
