Anyone know who the short older gentleman is? It's driving me nuts because I know I've seen him in television before but can't think of his name.

Edit:

Joel Grey ... and oddly I remember him from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series. Didn't know he was also in Remo Williams; now that's a blast from my past ... all those cheesy/fun 80's action movies: The Golden Child, Commando, Beverly Hills Cop, Big Trouble In Little China.

...and damn he's still lively for an 86 year old!

Paul Verhoeven on the other hand is a great commentator. The man really loves movies.
Also in the spirit of this, I popped Big Trouble In Little China in expecting the greatest commentary on the greatest movie of all time and was completely, utterly disappointed. Kurt Russel at one point is telling John Carpenter about how his son plays hockey.


I thought that was great! So random. 'I pulled the jackpot chain one more time!'

The best movie of all time is Big Trouble in Little China? Love it.

Ok, so now that I'm home looking at my wall of DVD's, I can comment.

Gattaca - one of my favs. Achieving your dreams against the impossible.

The Thing - Big John Carpenter fan here.
Big Trouble in Little China - ditto.
Escape from New York - in triplicate.

Predator - I'm surprised nobody said this one yet. There should be a Predator channel. All Predator, all the time.

Tremors - Silly, but also just a good old-fashioned monster movie.

Die Hard - What Drax said.

Heavy Metal - A guy film to me because I have yet to meet a girl who likes it as much as I do.
Pink Floyd The Wall - see above.

Leon - Masterpiece.

Midnight Run - "Will you shut the fuck up!?!?!?"

Touching the Void - one of the best documentaries I've seen. Plus I love mountain climbing, so I'm partial.
