BECAUSE JESS WANTED IT: MICHAEL DOUGLAS, I THINK HE IS Y?? BUT KINDA CREEPY

Falling Down

I'm the bad guy?

lolol one night at mccool's

THE GAME blew my mind in 7th grade

i voted wonder boyz because his name is gr80 in it.

that picture is scary

i'm having a hard time with this one

He must have been in like 900 more movies than this, right?

i voted for the game because i dont know why but now i wish i had voted for wonder boys because it comforts me.

Failing Down and The Game tie with 40% each of my brain. leftover 10% to wonder boys because :D

he's only got 47 credits on imdb as an actor, quite a few of them tv appearances! i thought he was like in a trillion movies too???

that's only 90% lol brain u suck

China Syndrome

hate u

i keep voting for the worst movie in the poll -- in this case, even though I've never seen it, "One Night at McCool's"

pretty creepy
but love the game and like him when he's a more (deliberately) funny character and can't not like romancing the stone

falling down bitches

where is: grossest guy in the world option

where is black rain

x-post

cosign

The correct answer is "Romancing Kathleen Turner's Sexy Cooter"

he is actually really hot in that movie

The Streets of San Francisco

i like several of these movies but the dude himself is N N N N N N

Mr. Zeta Jones is N fo sho!

Instead I'm voting for Kurt Russell in Big Trouble In Little China.

Wall Street is too easy, so it's Romancing the Stone, because the theme song is AWESOME and it's by Eddie Grant.

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away

i like several of these movies but the dude himself is N N N N N N

So very OTM

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

torn between Traffic & Wonder Boys

How can you hate Traffic? The scenes of cracked-out white princess in rehab/screwing her dealer for dope, Topher Grace telling off The Man, etc.. Douglas didn't have much to do with it's awesomeness, but so what?

wall street is it man with bonus appearance by Seinfeld's Newman

white princess screwing dealer for dope is a kind of racist thing lol

basically everything in that movie that didn't involve benecio del toro was tedious and overwrought and sloppily put together as far as i'm concerned, and anything that involved douglas or his 'lovely' wife was absolutely the worst parts of the movie.

Topher Grace and Erika Christensen were awesome in it, though.

The Game vs. Wall Street.

No Coma, no cr...never mind.

michael douglas in not a Y!

Dan knows where it's at.

Grace, Christensen, Benicio, Don Cheadle and Luis Guzman make Traffic worthwhile (and I didn't hate Dougle or Zeta-Jones, for that matter.)

NO LVOE FOR THE GAFFER?

i mean, falling down. bang bang you fall down now!

Wonder Boys, but I liked him a lot in The Game. Especially those quiet parts, like when he was interacting with his maid, and he was just distant, man.

And The Star Chamber isn't on this BECAUSE?

DEFINITELY "FALLING DOWN" OR "THE GAME" IT WAS A TUFF DECISION TO MAAEKE>

I saw most of The Game when I was pregnant and recovering from a horrible flu and a double ear infection. I fell asleep on the couch in the middle of it and woke up completely freaked out, wondering if my pregnancy and my entire life was some kind of game. I never did see the end of it.

I can't decide if that means I should vote for it or not.

The Game was pretty good, but the ending was totally ridiculous.

xpost wtf!!! I too haven't seen the end of the Game. I just can't seem to finish that movie. :-(

SPOILERS!!!

Though maybe it was meant to be ridiculous, I mean it's not like a realistic film. How would his brother know which direction he'd jump?

Falling Down, the only watchable Joel Schumacher film.

But really it should be for producing One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Traffic <---------------- this is a terrible movie<---------------- this is a terrible statement

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ew, this Solitary Man movie. Now he's seducing teenagers.

Imogen Poots as Allyson

What?

She actually gives the best performance in the film; don't know her at all

eh i wouldn't say best performance.

still, don't really know what to think of this here film. dramatically, all these other people exist only to be spoken to and react against michael douglas. they ought to feel as though they are just as real in and of themselves and they don't, really.

Perhaps the best thread to revive this: really, really great story about Diane Thomas, who wrote Romancing the Stone, now in the NYT. Here's a gift link, and Douglas should get due credit for recognizing its brilliance early on and getting it made. Also this bit:

After offering the Colton role to his friend Jack Nicholson, who passed, Douglas got further rejections from Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood — largely because the part was secondary to that of Wilder. Out of options, Douglas cast himself.
