Yes. I cut my penis off to see if a new, more substantial one would grow in its place.
Result: Unsuccessful
'The Hudsucker Proxy' would be my choice.
'Ghostbusters II' also works well.
'Highlander'
The film sequels were crap.
The TV series seems well regarded but I've never seen it.
Diabetes
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
The People Under the Stairs
It occurred to me while watching "The Public Eye" the other night that you very rarely hear the Coil-Curl Merger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English#Up-gliding_NURSE in the speech of New Yorkers in films set in the early/mid 20th century when, as I understand it, it would have been extremely common.
I'd assume it's due to its having been disparaged and parodied for so long that it would be difficult for modern audiences to take characters speaking like that seriously.
It seems a shame to me because - apart from it being more historically accurate - I quite like it and would enjoy watching a period film featuring characters just naturally talking in that way.
Predator 2
French Connection II & The Day of the Jackal ('73).
The tone, setting and era of both films is similar, one always puts me in the mood for the other.
Gordon Cole - Twin Peaks, played by David Lynch himself.
He should have stayed behind the camera. Not only is he a poor actor, his obnoxious character, constantly shouting in that annoying nasal voice, was just insufferable. It's a pity 'Bob' didn't do away with the prick early on.
