Earl's Favorite Film Scenes: Vol VII

Being able to watch Midnight Run anytime I want is reason enough to spend the money on a Netflix subscription. And I don't watch it as often as I'd like. Great cast, great script, great direction, great movie!

You've, um, seen it right? Watching De Niro in this film will make you weep for just about everything he's done since. He should have just retired instead. He's that good.

Enjoy!

  7. MikeB - I'd almost like to see a Midnight Run 2 with another team up of Grodin and De Niro. But it would be crap. This one is special.

    Beach Bum - It's a great city.

    Sybil - Gia was arguing that this is De Niro finest movie. It's hard to ignore Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, etc..., but it's right up there.

    Seals - Hey! Yeah, I seem to remember how much you loved this film.

  8. Great movie. Grodin is brilliant in this too. Especially in this scene.

    "Are you Red?
    Do you dye your hair?"

  12. I recently picked this film up on LaserDisc in a lot of discs that I found in an old Goodwill store. I have yet to watch it, but since it has that Scorsese / DeNiro configuration, I assume it must at least be watchable. I have to admit that in the small clip you posted, Grodin seems to outshine DeNiro.

  13. Bruce - oh he definitely steals that particular scene. A bunch of other ones too. But DeNiro is excellent throughout. They both are.
