Trading Places
I love the old 80s comedy Trading Places with Eddy Murphy and Dan Ackroyd. It's one of those movies that's stood the test of time, and these days is even relevant. It's all about 80s greed (the director called it his Frank Capra 30s movie), but mostly it's just a good old fashioned revenge story.
Excuse the swear-ahj but this was my favourite line this time around: "Motherfucker? Moi?"
Apparently Don Ameche was pretty sad about having to tell his brother of Eff Off in the final scene, but was told it was integral to the story (and it is very funny.) So he told everyone on the set, including all the traders, to please do their best so that there would only have to be one take.
Did I mention I finally created a movie catalog at IMDB? It's not cute, but it's efficient. I like knowing what I watched and read and listened to at any given time in my life. It's like a cultural diary.
