I saw that movie with Jamie Lee Curtis, John Cleese, Michael Palin and Kevin Kline probably three or four times years ago. It is one of the family favorites and my mother will still saline from it now and then. Quite funny.

Scent of a Woman, with the great Al Pacino.

RE: The Movie Reel

Congrats, TsarMatt.

What a great film it was. A change of Pace for Al.

Lt. Col. Frank Slade (Pacino): Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too f.....' blind. If I were the Man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that.

But unfortunately, Pacino has turned into a caricature of himself.
