I just thought it was Gary Oldman playing dress up. I didn't believe him.

Now, the Egglplant scene...I believed that.

I didn't believe anything in the whole movie. Loved the whole movie. Drexl (note spelling) the best part. "You must think today White Boy Day" has served me well as poker babble in more PLO games than I can count.

You must think today White Boy Day.

I always think of Ocean's 12 as clearly the worst of the trilogy, but I always stop and watch the French dude dance through the laser field.

This is the ne plus ultra of this genre:

Danny DeVito in Other People's Money, also one of the best explanations of capitalism in Hollywood history.

Since it was great, too bad you can't use The Deer Hunter scene with Christopher Walken.

funny, but this almost made me turn off the movie. I hated it it. But I loved the rest of the film.

If I was going to choose a song/scene from Sweet Charity, it would definitely be Hey Big Spender.

How is it possible I have never seen Sweet Charity? Bob Fosse is a ****ing legend.

I've only seen these two dance scenes from the movie, and it's already one of my favorite films.

I keep losing my response, but briefly: it was and is a great scene. It was the first time most people had seen dancing like Fosse's and it was the perfect send up of its times.

Like Dom, I love both.
