OMG this. From Williams to Hackman (and a young Calista Flockhart) - perfection.


Yes! Dianne Wiest too! It was wonderful!

I agree with this! In some ways, it was better.

Not Josh Hutcherson... the worst Peeta. He just couldn't meet the fire of Katniss.


Yes, to me he is one of the worst casting mistakes in the history of film. He had such a little mean face, not attractive enough. He needed to have quiet kindness and more presence.


I thought he absolutely had a quiet kindness. One of the problems of making those films into movies is that so much was observed by Katniss in her own mind—she knew he was good with people, easy in interviews, people listened to him, etc. It was very “tell, in my head” and it proved hard to show that on the screen. But I liked him as Peeta, a lot.

Omg this. Nathan Lane was hysterical. And every time I think of robin williams saying his house was like a monastery, and then barking “SIT DOWN!” , I want to die laughing.


Let's not forget Hank Azaria. I love him in EVERYTHING

I think Singles earned a spot here, soundtrack was 90s perfection.

Bird Cage is the first movie I watched after the pandemic hit. And the first rated R movie I let my teen watch
