Tom Hanks made me sad he lost Wilson. Great acting to make people feel upset over a ball.

I'm still waiting for Castaway II:The Search.

They could make a whole series of Wilson movies in the same vein as Weekend at Bernies. If we can have 2 Bernie movies, the world needs a Wilson movie.

Your listing of Godfather vs. Godfather two doesn't make much sense. Many of the same characters in GFI are in GFII.

Basically trading off a Brando for a De Niro.

I know your love of Fish (Vigoda) may sway you towards GFI, but they both have a similar cast.

wow. Had no idea Abe is still alive. It has been like 20 years since People Magazine listed his obituary accidentally.

Don't laugh but look at Cast for Battle of Britain.


Trevor Howard, Michael Caine, Olivier, Shaw, Christopher Plummer, Nigel patrick.

then there is apocalypse now:
Sheen, Ford, Hopper, Brando, Fishburne, the boat captain, Duvall, Senator from Godfather II

That would be hard to beat. I thought about that one when I posted but went with Greatest Story Ever Told instead.
