Diner

This movie has entered my top 20 list since I seen it for the first time at the start of this month. The only thing I hated about this movie was that the channel I was watching it on had taken out the swear words so I didn't quite get all those jokes. Apart from that I loved this movie it mostly has males in it but that didn't matter, you could just feel the friendship between these 5 guys. This film was also very funny whether it was the popcorn scene,the football quiz,the jail scene or Methan quoting his favourite film, it's all there. Out of the five main guys in the film two of them really showed their talent; and they were Mickey Rourke and Daniel Stern. After seeing this film I decided to give it an 8 out of 10 because I think it deserves that rating. Whoever said that this is a guy flick is terribly mistaken because I am a 15 year old girl and I really enjoyed it.

Easily one of the greatest movies ever made, especially for it's time! The perfect genuine buddy hangout film about relationships, random bets, spitballing, and horsing around. Also the scene about the records is one of my favorite things ever, I love the line "This is important to me!" I relate to that with many things like my love for movies and the scene where a guy orders most of the menu is gold! I saw this once before today and still loved it! I have quoted Diner many times since. Such a great cast directed by Barry Levinson who did another masterpiece - Rain Man in the nineties! Mickey Rourke, Ellen Barkin, Steve Guttenberg, and Daniel Stern are my favorites in this and the soundtrack is perfection!

I first saw "Diner" in the theater. I also watched many times on cable. For some reason, I never bought it so when it faded from cable I lost track of it. Today was the first time I'd seen "Diner" in years. It's great stuff. It strikes the right note pretty much the whole way through. It's filled with one great performance after another with standout work from Steve Guttenberg and Jessica James. There are a lot of laughs in this movie. It also has a warmth that few movies have. It does have a skip here and there but, for the most part, it's terrific. I won't allow myself to go so long between viewings again.

I wasn't really wowed by this film.It doesn't really have a captivating story,great scenery or great special effects (the latter is never really necessary anyway).What you have is a group of guys,each of them representing someone most of us know or have heard of.We are introduced to them,and over the course of the film,we get to know them,and by film's end,we had an overall pleasant time.The film has a place on the AFI's 100 Years,100 Laughs list,which brought me to watch it.I don't question it's placement there because we all have different senses of humor,but I can't say that it really generated a lot of laughs for me personally.Overall,it was enjoyable enough and I may visit it again one day.

It's Christmas Night 1959 Baltimore. A group of friends reunite for Eddie Simmons (Steve Guttenberg)'s marriage. Shrevie (Daniel Stern) and Beth Schreiber (Ellen Barkin) are unhappily married. Boogie (Mickey Rourke) is the slick womanizer. Fenwick (Kevin Bacon) is the prankster. Modell (Paul Reiser) and Billy (Tim Daly) round out the group. Their hangout is the Hilltop Diner. It's a very impressive cast. Everybody is terrific acting-wise. However I couldn't really get into the meandering nature of the movie. I found it hard to concentrate on any of the characters. It doesn't have the light fun of 'American Graffiti'. I would have liked a movie of them just talking in the diner about their lives.
