For being that old, that movie still cracks me up.
I was watching it rite before xmass and my son sat down and was watching it for a bit, he turned and said "this isn't funny" then went upstairs and played video games... What is wrong with our youth, that movie was hilarious... Movies like animal house, one flew over the cuckoos nest, deer hunter, ect will be around for ever, they are like art, the movies made now are OK, but nothing GREAT, sure there are some exceptions {tarrantino, cohenes, farrellys, marty, steven king} , but for the volume that come out, they are forgotten in less than a year, I cant think of anything that made me say "I need to own that" since, whats eating gilbert grape, shawshank, forest gump, green mile, and a couple others and they are all old now, I think the newest would be green mile and that was what 1998? we need some good movies, I don't care, comedy drama, anything good that will stand the test of time, I remember around 94/94 thinking "wow movies are getting good" and then very little after that...
