Leaving Las Vegas
Discussion
I've had a chilled out evening, the wife went to bed so I put on one of my favourite films - Leaving Las Vegas.
I've seen it more times than I care to remember; I think it's a fantastic film; it grabs a hold of me and just doesn't let go.
Now, I know there are many great films out there and so on; I'm not saying this is the best and by heck I couldn't, but is there anyone else here that thinks this is a fantastic film?
The fact that Elisabeth Shue is so damn sexy is for another thread. what the f
k has happened to her?
From memory, this could have been the last 'proper' film Cage has been in. I do like Cage's screen presence - I daren't say "acting" ability although he has done well, this film being a case in point. The first film he did that caught my attention was "Wild at Heart". Fantastic Lynch film. "This snakeskin jacket is a symbol of my individuality and belief in personal freedom". That line sticks in my head - that and "listen to the deep sound of Bobby Peru", my giddy aunt I could go on with quotes from that and it's must have been about 15 years since I last saw it!
The point of this post is really just me sharing my opinion about a film I love, but, to raise a few q's:
1) What's your opinion of "Leaving Las Vegas"?
2) What the fk has Cage done since, of any note?
3) Where the fk (gratuitous swearing I know) is Shue?

It works very well and I set the sound to an appropriate level this evening
