3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)
Incorrect IMDb listing
Just for everyone's info. David Arquette is not in the film.
The confusion is with Courtney Cox Arquette who is in the film. I know 'cos I think she's drop-dead gorgeous.
My fave bit of the film is probably the same as everyone else's, where the gang are going thru the casino dressed as Elvis - and we kinda know those ain't guitars in them cases "Anyone gets between us and Michael..." - so cool it shows just how wussy Oceans Eleven was - even tho' that had a better soundtrack overall the track for the Elvis's march thru the casino was perfect.
Best line in the movie is "The snakeskin one's mine" when choosing the guitar cases for the guns.
I thought overall it was a bit long and the second firefight didn't have the impact of the first.
But, what the hell, it's a good latenight movie.

Where Eagles Dare (1968)
Scared of heights and Richard Burton.
Just wanted to say thatI just saw this film on TV for about the tenth time. And still enjoyed it.
Wouldn't have bothered to write except it's a bit of a scary film for me - the first time I saw the Alps for real I froze and they were 15 miles away. Cablecars and Icepicks are... well...
However - Mary Ure always drops my jaw as far as the Alps did.
Beautiful women with submachineguns always float my boat. well....
Oddly enough Amelie is my fave movie. And she doesn't have a gun.
Contrast ?
Anyone know what Ms. Ure is doing now ?
Love to all, Neil Morgans.
De trein van zes uur tien (1999)
Made me cringe 'cos of the eyes - but I saw it twice.
Marvelous film. I don't know if there's ever been a distro. in English I saw it in Dutch with French subtitles (but then, I can). Amazingly tense, lots of questions about human behaviour, a marvelously sexy sex scene (I thought so anyway) and some really atrocious cruelty. Lots of dark backgrounds to follow the darkness of the story and I'm certainly not going anywhere near spoiling the ending for anyone reading this. If you can find it and fancy an excellent revenge thriller with a little sex, and some violence that goes beyond the normal - not in slap bang wallop style - give it a try. If you want more details other people have posted more on IMDb. All I would say is find it if you can if it appeals - well acted, OK one of the standard plots, if you know Amsterdam you'll enjoy sightseeing.
