Good movie. Pity most of it was innaccurate.

[Syferus]

1 - (5 Points) Sweet Smell of Success
2 - (4 Points) Terminator 1
3 - (3 Points) Toy Story 1
4 - (2 Points) Seven
5 - (1 Point)  Scarface

The dialogue in Sweet Smell of Success is incredible. 50's New York in B&W and shot exquisitely to boot. And any film noir fan will be able to see it's one of the greatest genre-parodies ever made. I'd go as far as saying it's one of the last truly great film noirs. Can't say I didn't enjoy a single second of it.

Sunset Boulevard and Blade Runner would be the two that just miss the cut.

The Green Fields Around Ferbane. It's where I come from

[Green Fields]

Sorry bit slow - the Green Fields I look at are up North.

Em AZ, it's Ireland - there are green fields everywhere, though not this week.

When you see it capitalised like that, it usually refers to something specific. I just asked the question
