I’ll keep it to one: [Shadowlands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowlands_(1993_film)) > [@](#): > > Shadowlands is a 1993 British biographical drama film about the relationship between academic C. S. Lewis and American poet Joy Davidman, her death from cancer, and how this challenged Lewis’s Christian faith. Uh, yeah. It does seem out of character for me. Oh, and Bladerunner. And Mary Poppins.

> [@SykoSkotty](#): > > Just Steve Martin’s personal tribute to all the great noir detective movies from the 40’s & 50’s - and a very unique take on it, IMHO, with splicing in all the great scenes/actors from previous films. Woody Allen did it in “Zelig” and critics called it brilliant. DMDWP actually came out a year prior to Zelig. I personally find the film very funny and think it was a brilliant idea between Steve Martin and Carl Reiner. > > Now, if you want to discuss lousy Steve Martin films, let’s start with “The Man With Two Brains” As far as “The Man With Two Brains” goes, I tried several times to watch that film but I just never could get past 2 or 3 minutes. So, I guess that means I agree with you that it was close to being one of his worst. If you are interested in Steve Martin, I would like to recommend to you a documentary film about the life of Robin Williams. It’s a really nice documentary and I believe it’s called, “Come Inside My Mind”. Very well done. I learned quite a few interesting things about Robin Williams from this film. Steve Martin is interviewed several times in this documentary and he has a lot of interesting things to say.

> [@Die\_Capacitrix](#): > > Considering how much we like it, we do not have a copy of All of Me. I cannot say how often we’ve said, “Back in bowl” ([clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VdyXTIaaMI)). > > A few favorites: > When Harry met Sally > … For many years, we had a couple in our neighborhood named, “Harry and Sally”. He was from the Phillipines and she was from Serbia. I often greeted them with references from the movie. But they never ever had a clue what I was talking about. My guess is that movies just do not form a part of some peoples’ lives. Just like TV … but for many more people. ---
