Well Doodlebug you are right the best Donald Pleasance movies have been already represented with the best of all The Great Escape, and then Escape From New York. Halloween is a good choice too. But let's go with Oracle Jones in the Hallelujah Trail.
Best Western that made you smile or laugh, that is not Blazing Saddles?

Actually, the remake of True Grit had some very funny moments, the conversation between Haylee Standfield and the horse-merchant near the beginning of the movie coming immediately to mind as making me laugh.
Movie that you went into thinking it would be a funny comedy but, while it may have had funny moments, turned out to be more sad or bittersweet?
Muriel's Wedding

I would have liked to have seen... Montana. :(
That's preposterous! All other hockey movies pale to insignificance compared to Slapshot!
But... I guess Mystery, Alaska was okay. Certainly better than those Mighty Ducks movies.
Favourite Paul Newman movie?

Anyone else there have a thing for Gong Li? And if so, faves Gong Li movie?
I should get back to doing trailers.
Infernal Affairs, a tour-de-force of suspense starring the incredibly talented Tony Leung Chiu-Wai (and which Hollywood idiotically and inexcusably remade with Leonardo diCaprio). Trailer for Doodlebug. The sequels sort of sucked, but the original is one of my all-time favorites.
EDIT: I'd watch in Cantonese with the English subtitles, but if you're an idiot, you could watch a dubbed version instead.
Favorite undercover cop movie?
The Departed is an awesome movie to watch if you're nostalgic for Boston. Every other scene is like--ooh, I got high there!
EDIT: And there's Kirth being all diplomatic again.
EDIT II: Back to The Departed--so DiCaprio's father in the movie was a ramp rat at Logan. When I saw the film, I was a ramp rat at Logan. When it got to the scene where Nicholson ranted about DiCaprio, Sr. being a hump, I decided that I needed to expand my skill set, so I quit my job loading airplanes and embarked upon my exciting new career loading trucks!
I can't believe you don't talk about "The Town" and "Mystic River" like you do about "The Departed."
As far as movie locales, has anyone seen Ang Lee's The Ice Storm? I went to high school in New Canaan, CT -- had a job at the library they're standing in front of in one of the scenes. BTW, Lee really nailed the creepy, bizarre neuroses of the town.
EDIT: Apparently portions of both Age of Innocence and Scent of a Woman were filmed in Troy, NY, where I felt much more at home, but I haven't seen either movie, so the effect is sort of lost on me.
Never saw the The Town. A lot of Mystic River was shot in my old neighborhood in East Boston. I'd give it more points if it hadn't invented names for local geography and claimed that the Can-Tab in Cambridge, with its awesome bluegrass nights, was a cop bar.
But the scene where Tim Robbins claims that property taxes were too high and that the neighborhood needed a good crime wave? East Boston all the way, baby! When I moved there in 1996, we were paying $675 for a 2 bedroom. By 2008(ish--bubble bubble bubble!), prices had been jacked up to $1150--and that was after finding an apartment through a friend of a friend.
That particular landlord was an old-school Italian East Bostonian who lived upstairs. He was nice enough, but I remember one evening he invited us up for drinks and started talking about how the neighborhood had gone to shiznit since all of the Guatemalans and Salvadorans moved in. (And, you know, we had MS13 roaming about attacking people with machetes and throwing burning cats through people's windows.) Then, he would get nostalgic about the old days--and start telling stories of Mafia hits at the King Arthur Lounge and acquaintances of his who ended up in the river with screwdrivers sticking out of their necks. !!!
I liked The Ice Storm.
EDIT: Boston in the movies and Teamster Power!--through the link and scroll down to "Marky Mark No More"

It was always like that when I talked with the old-timers about Troy.
Sorry, guys, we got a little carried away.
Um, my favorite undercover cop movie is The Departed.
Favorite obscenity-laden tirade from a movie that depicts cursing as the beautiful artform that it is? And please link. :)

No fair! You said that just to spite me! But your question stands.

That's a big 10-4, good buddy.
It's a pity Life on Mars isn't a movie. Gene ("I know what it rhymes with") Hunt had some beautiful tirades.
Would Hugh Grant's repeated imprecation to the universe to, erm, 'engage in carnal activity' throughout the opening of Four Weddings and a Funeral count?
I only vaguely remember that, but sure!
Next question?
Favourite 70's cop movie?

Yes! Especially when he's late and exclaims
