: mine is MAN WITH TWO BRAINS, followed by THE JERK, though I haven't seen that many of his pictures.
: Also saw LOST IN TRANSLATION yesterday. Very well made picture. Murry deserves an oscar nod, and I now have a huge crush on scarlett johnanison. The movie was quite slow moving in the second half, I wouldn't have been suprised if the movie was over 2 hours, yet it was only 1:45. And while it was really good, I don't think I ever want to see it again. Just not a movie to watch twice I guess. Sophia Coppela is one hell of a talent
: B/B+
I really expected to see more movies like this from poor little old Steve but something went wrong way back then and he started making crap. He started off so good with THE JERK and peaked with THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS...I really can't explain what went wrong after that but it's been downhill ever since with very few good flicks that even compare to his first ones...he really has never recovered as far as I'm concerned. I really wanted to see some whacky shit from this man...what a waste of a career from a funny talented man.
