Five Great Movies You Probably Haven't Seen

Following the lead of Middie Back! here are five great movies you probably haven't seen:

5. Big Night - Tony Shalhoub and Stanley Tucci playing brothers running an authentic Italian restaurant, no matter what the customers may want. A great, quiet, funny movie. And Minnie Driver looks great.

Great line: "Sometimes the spaghetti likes to be alone."

4. The Candidate - A movie about an innocent idealist thrown into the slime of a political campaign. Unfortunately, always in vogue. With Robert Redford in the role of John Edwards Bill McKay.

Great line: "Now what?"

3. Night Shift - Ron Howard's first time in the director's chair. Michael Keaton's first movie. Fonzie playing a dweeb. A very funny movie where you can tell everybody had fun making it. Keaton and Henry Winkler run a prostitution ring out of the city morgue, and Shelley Long is actually very believable as a hooker. Go figure.

Great line: "That Barney Rubble, what an actor."

2. Tin Men - Glengarry Glen Ross going for laughs. The only time Danny DeVito played a slimeball on a human scale. Has the same sharp back-and-forth dialogue as Diner. Part of the Barry Livenson Baltimore trilogy.

Great line: "I'm gonna tell you something. 'Bonanza' is not an accurate depiction of the West . . . You ever see the show? It's a fifty-year-old father with three forty-seven-year-old sons. You know why they get along good? 'Cause they're all the same age."

1. Nobody's Fool - A great movie based on Richard Russo's great book. Some of Paul Newman's best work. Everybody is just dead on. Even Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith, and I hate Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith.

Great line: "Ollie, you know my feelings about arming morons: you arm one, you've got to arm them all, otherwise it wouldn't be good sport."
