im getting these 2 mixed up....the professional, and this other movie. one takes place with a man and a little girl...the little girl's family gets killed. thats the professional right?

then theres this other movie that starts off in europe somewhere, in a 5 or 7 series BMW that had a foldaway lic plate. he is like a getaway driver for hire. and theres an asian girl in that one.

both movies.

and which movie is this: its the story of these 2 con-artist. one of them has this complusive problem, everything had to be neat and clean. then he picks up a daughter in the end. and the very end, he ends up getting ripped off himself by his partner and daughter. :thinking: good movie too.

I'm not really into old movies. I've never seen Citizen Kane (supposedly the best movie ever, but for some reason, I doubt that). Never seen Singing in the Rain, either.

I've seen "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"...that was pretty
I've also seen a few Hitchcock movies..."North by Northwest" "Vertigo" "Rear Window" (if that's the right title.
I saw those in my 20th Century Film class in High School.


Which reminds me...I add American Graffiti to my list of good movies.

Birds
North by Northwest
Vertigo
Rear Window
All were Alfred Hitchcock movies and all were great...look for Alfred Hitchcock in each of his movies he always appears in them somewhere and look for the errors...he was notorious for timeline errors and continuity errors but he was one of the greats.

I've never seen Ed Wood. Until recently, I for some reason thought I heard it sucked. But now I find out it's supposedly good. I may check it out.
