    One of my favorite movie scenes is in Goodfellas when Ray Liotta is taking his girl on a date and he takes her through the back entrance of the club. They go all the way through the back entrance, through the kitchen, etc. and it's all one long scene. It's awesome.

    I barely got through that myself! If it hadn't been for the concept of HAL being slightly fascinating I might not have bothered. I'm a pretty big film fan but 2001 is one of the extremes. I can't handle most Lynch stuff either, although I find Eraserhead to be strangely calming, it helps me fall asleep... and I mean that in a good way.

    I remember it :)

    I'll agree...but the open space shots are brilliant....even if they are 10 minutes long:)

    I love that scene. Well, I love that whole movie, but yeah that's a great no cut sequence.

    Another one that's always stuck out in my mind, is the opening scene from Brian DePalma's Snake Eyes. They follow Nicholas Cage for like 20 minutes without cutting while he's walking around a casino. It's pretty impressive. Overall that movies just sorta "ok", but that one scene is pretty brilliant.

    Any movie needs boobs and macho BS in order to achieve success in front of today's audience.

    I just watched Dune (1984, that is 26 years ago!!!) ... unbelievable.

    I won't be seeing it on Thursday. Will probably wait a week or so. It looks good & Denzel looks like a great choice for the role.

    @DaveMc99:
    Denzel is the man!

    @dogmeat:
    MadMax series and a few more I can name. They just don't make movies like they once used to.

    I couldn't agree with you more friend. I especially miss the muppets.
