Compilation reel.

Which you could call cheating. Or you could call a bonus feature. But since either way, it's the only thing I could find, I opt for the latter. Because this way, YOU make the call!

My favorite scene here lasts til about 3:05. That's a fat Billybob Thornton taking the heat.

Some of these are not very philosophical or deep - not in the usual fashion, anyways. But they're my favourites.

An excerpt from "Scum" - an excellent film about the UK's Borstals, or Young Offender's Institutions, as they used to be run (and probably still are). WARNING: The violence resembles actual violence.

Good luck understandng this one, unless you're Mac, or Tron, or any other of our illustrious posters from Ecosse:



Not so much a scene as a recommendation of the full film.

Schmidt's final letter to Ndugu.



Ndugu's letter to Schmidt.

A whole series of Schmidt and Ndugu road movies were left open by that "I might live for twenty years, or die tomorrow" line. I like to imagine that they will one day go to Graceland, in a van made of hash, with Cheech, Chong, Nicholas Garrigan, and Idi Amin. And that Schmidt will still be irritable and abrasive all the way despite his (kind of) redemption in that final scene.

I found the film sad, but I didn't really get it. He has changed the world. He has a daughter, who is alive, and he is still alive too. Job done.

Did he think he was going to conquer Europe as a youngster or something? It doesn't take much to change the world in a noticeable fashion. You only have to live in it, and not even for very long.

Yes. This, indeed, is a fine piece of work. "Skin that smokewagon and go to work!" You wouldn't get away with that kind of language nowadays, except maybe in 'Frisco. :lol:

Could use a slice of Doc Holliday:
