Damn Mott, you can get free movies at the library if it's that bad. You don't have to pick just one movie for the rest of your life.

Well duh......but you miss the point.....A good movie you want to watch again and again.....except Groundhog Day....you have to watch that again and again.

If you want a good laugh involving Groundhog day, there is a paper online done by some grad students I think that analyzes the story, comments made by characters and references made in Groundhog Day to determine how many "loops" Bill Murray completed before the end.

The number they came up with is amazing!

I just saw a critic recommend Love Actually to men as the #1 pick for a Valentines Day flick.

Black Book is pretty good albeit a little far fetched at times. Carice van Houten is very good even when a bucket of shit is poured on her whilst naked, but then what else do you expect from Paul Verhoeven?

Far fetched?
Ok!

You probably said Valkyrie was predictable!

I am thinking of one scene in particular where she is injected with a massive overdose of insulin in order to kill her, she eats a bar of chocolate which apparently magically reverses the effects enabling her to jump off a first floor balcony without breaking her legs or worse and then leg it down the street. The whole scene was completely medically false, the insulin would have killed her and eating a load of chocolate would not have made a blind bit of difference.

I read that the original story has him living through the equivalent of thousands of years, but the movie studio thought that would come across as too freaky for audiences, so they downplayed it a bit.

Check again, it was insulin in 1945.
Not insulin today.
And yes insulin shock can be reversed very quickly with caffeine and glucose.
The rest, it's a balcony, 10 or12 feet, easy!
A round rig parachute descent gives a landing equal to double that height!

Insulin back then was made from the pancreas of pigs and cows and is only slightly different chemically to modern synthetic insulin. Pharmacologically there is absolutely no difference. As for WW2 parachutes, landing was the equivalent of jumping off a 12 foot wall and that was done after training and practice, jumping off a 15 foot balcony in a semi comatose state would result in broken legs and/or pelvis at the very least.
