Francis and Newman

Of course the answer to the Francis query was Stripes. One of my favorite scenes from that movie. Funny thing is I didn’t want to see it in the first place. I was dragged to it by my friends Chris and John when it came out. It is in a league by itself. Here’s the classic Francis clip:

I am not big into “favorite actors”. I don’t even know half the people in my favorite movies. When Paul Newman died this weekend, my thought was, “bet my mom’s sad”. I couldn’t name a single movie he was in. Only this weekend did I realize he was in one of my favorites: Slapshot. Of course, the Hanson brothers were my favorite.

R.I.P. Paul.

    Slapshot. Another great movie.
    “Your wife is a dyke” “I know, I slept with her”

    Stripes, Slapshot, Airplane, Strange Brew, Caddyshack. Some of the best movies ever made. Also The Holy Grail and anything Python.

    Knowing how big into movies you are … that is sad, really sad.

    You haven’t seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke, The Sting, The Hustler, The Color of Money, The Verdict, or Absence of Malice?

    Most of these are classics that you see on TCM or TBS.
