Can't pick any, haven't been to the movies in ages. Last thing I saw was MIB (in the theatre I mean)

~Charlotte Sun, Feb 15, 1998 (10:39) #13

Although Jack Nicholson did a damn good job playing Jack Nicholson in AGAIG, it's still a crime that Kevin Kline got no recognition for his excellent work in not one, but two films last year. But hey, what kind of world would it be if everyone AGREED with the Academy, eh? :)
