YAY! That is such a fantastic movie with some great moments. I’ve watched it over and over. I love it when David Straithairn (the blind guy, for those who haven’t seen it) drives the van at top speed through the parking lot, over curbs and everything. And then puts it in reverse. And when he reads the braille _Playboy_. Conspiracy theorist Dan Ackroyd is also fantastic. Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, & Mary McDonnell-- need I say more? Ben Kingsley (with his great ponytail) is the surprise Mystery Guest. All Dopers would love this film. [You can rent on Amazon Prime.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105435/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt) Some of us- _ahem_- own it. ---

BTW, if you watch this movie (and you must!) don’t miss the [trivia section at the IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105435/trivia/?ref_=tt_trv_trv). Some great stuff there. ---

I don’t know the movie, but it’s terrible syntax. Either “Nothing is **as** revolting… **as** ,” or “Nothing is **more** revolting… **than**.” ---

Good guess, but no. It’s a much older (1960) and (nowadays) less well-known film. It was, however, nominated for several Academy Awards (but it didn’t win any of them). The cast included an Oscar winner and three nominees. The exterior shots were not filmed in the Northern Hemisphere. ---
