I'm talking about movies you watch FOR the acting. Movies where everyone is firing on all cylinders, and even when the story or the filmmaking themselves are merely "OK," the acting makes the whole thing worthwhile.

May be a cliché but for me that's Glengarry Glen Ross. Everyone is just perfect and it's so fun to watch.

Also Doubt, extremely powerful performances from everyone including my baby girl Amy

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
