I didn't know there was a 3rd. I have never seen mention of it before. Wonder if it is any good?

Maybe, but I doubt it, because they had already stretched the plot about as far as it could go without snapping. Maybe that is why we haven't heard of it before.

Crocodile Dundee (1986)

Gave the world Paul Hogan and a KNOIFE.

Introduced the world to an awesome aussie before the infamous "fightin' round the world" Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman.

The only reason Aussies love Paul Hogan is that he isn't afraid to take on the ATO (Australian Tax Office)

The other two are simply referred to as 'Uncle Russ' and 'That Ranger' (pronounced rang-ger)

Full Metal Jacket (1987)

Gomer Pyle. Gny.Sgt. Hartman. Vietnam. 10 dollars.

1st half of the movie was probably the most effective recruiting tool for the U.S. Marines ever shown on film.

A pretty good civil war film:

The Birth of a nation (1915)

A well made and produced movie with a dreadful message by D.W. Griffith that actually (sadly) brought legitimacy to the KKK in the United States.. It was a very different time with different attitudes and sensibilities.

This movie was actually the 1st movie ever to be aired in the White House, and President Woodrow Wilson supposedly said the film was "like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true."

Guilty pleasure.

American Psycho (2000)

Patrick Bateman. Sussudio. Hip to be Square.

A look into the life of a very narcissistic, individualistic, career driven 80s executive indulging in his psychopathic fantasies as the fabric of his reality begins to crumble away.

Christian Bale brings his A-Game into his best role yet as the go-getter Bateman, (before he got overhyped with Batman) playing his part with great gusto. Notable Supporting cast includes Willem Dafoe, Josh Lucas, Chloe Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, and Justin Theroux.

7.5/10 - Watch It.

Saturday Night Fever (1977) - IMDb

Made John Travolta famous. Caused the disco phenomenon. What else is there to say?

Mission Impossible 3 - Not bad.

Grease (1978) - IMDb

Continuing with the John Travolta theme, this movie was known for rather different reasons.

Less grittier compared to Saturday Night fever and most likely the one of the first Hollywood sanctioned teen musicals featuring singing and dancing dispersed in between the plotlines (current modern equivalent would be High School Musical with Zac Efron, Hudgens et.al).

Not bad watch and contains some rather memorable tunes like, Summer Nights and You're the One That I Want, and of course the main theme 'Grease' sung by Frankie Valli.

It is in this movie that the audience learns that Travolta, at the time perhaps, can't really sing very well; he pales in comparison to his much more vocally talented female counterpart, Olivia Newton-John, who plays the role of his character's love Interest, Sandy.

This is very evident from the songs that feature them both in duets in the various scenes of the movie; Travolta's vocal weaknesses are masked in other group performances scattered in the movie.

Made in an age without the technology of Auto-Tune, these inadequacies are quite audible.

Not a bad watch, contains catchy tunes and lyrics - 7/10. Watch it if you can.

If you liked Grease, you will probably like West Side Story.

Spiderman 2.1

And what did you make of it Gary?

I felt it was somewhat decent as a whole, but that Peter Parker could've been portrayed in a less schizophrenic manner...
