Midnight Express

I watched about 2/3 of Blow and could no longer watch it, I thought it was so shit.

Blow's an amazing movie... Johnny Depp was genius as always in it... It was really interesting how he smuggled weed and coke for years and years and got filthy rich... but got too greedy and threw his entire life away b/c of drugs n money and lost the love and respect from the one person he cared about.. his daughter.. and now the real life guy (George Jung) is rotting in prison til 2017 or something.. still hasn't been visited by his daughter..

I find it also very very ironic that the film's director (Ted Demme) died a year or two ago of a heart attack brought on by ingesting COKE.

still midnight express will slap your balls off!! :P

We watched that with my sister last night! I've seen it a few times..."I needed a blanket I was cold!!!" classic ..Oliver Stone wrote the screen play! It was filmed in Greece and the Turks entered a legal battle with the Greeks because it fucked up Turkish tourism for years after...no suprise..how many people who watch that film say " Fuck going to Turkey then !"

A true classic

That movie had a big impact on a lot of people smugglin shit from overseas, probably saved a lot of lives.

That movie blow pissed me off, he had it all then he fucked up.

It's funny how many people didn't like "Blow" it seems that true stories don't make for good enertainment. Would you guys say that "Braveheart" would have been better if Wallace escaped in the end and went on to marry the fairy queen and rule over Happyland?

Oh, BTW "Midnight Express" exelent film. I was blown away that someone could go through that experience and still come away with his sanity. (I refer to the actual guy of course.)
