Loved Madonna as both Breathless Mahoney and The Blank. Now that was ACTING! HA!

J, here is what appears to be a pretty exhaustive list:

Hard to limit to just three but I would include:

MonkeyBone
Steel (which funny enough I recently wrote about)
Barb Wire

Am I the only one who was reminded of “Dick Tracy” when he was watching “The Spirit?” As bad as those two comics-derived movies are, “Howard the Duck” makes them seem like Oscar contenders! I’d love to see everybody’s list of the top 3 bad comics-to-movies.

As someone who worked in a movie theater at the time and was forced to watch it over and over again, believe me it actually grows on you (unlike Star Trek IV which only got worse).

Besides without it Madonna would never have been inspired to write a song that allowed me to Vogue on the dance floor.

While they’re at it can TMS get my money back for the movie ticket I bought back in 1990?

Nothing like a little ole law suit to get Beatty’s creative juices going, eh ?
Beatty did way more harm then good when he made Dick Tracy 1990 version. It was nothing but an ego trip for him, to play Tracy. I always thought Bruce Willis could have done a way better job ib the lead role.
