Mark Sherman was specifically written as a barely disguised version of Carl Sagan, who among other things was also a great fan of basketball.

Fond memories of the campus from my days at NAJAC!

A nearly perfect movie. Tesich’s script is a wonder. And the fact that he’s from the Region and went to IU, like myself, makes it resonate that much more.

One of my favorite movies of all time

I read the book first, so I was a bit disappointed with how Moocher was portrayed in the movie. Also they left out the most memorable part in the book with Moocher, when his boss said "Punch the clock, shorty" Moocher deliberately wraps a towel around his fist and punched the time clock off the wall and walked out.

This movie has so much heart, first watched it in '82.

I agree Paul Dooley was brilliant and hilarious in the movie. I get choked up every time in the scene where Mr. Stohler sits in his Cadillac listening to the Little 500 and gets excited hearing how well Dave is doing before finally slamming the door shut and peeling out of the used car lot to go see the race. The winner of best supporting actor in 1979 was Christopher Walken for The Deer Hunter. I've seen Breaking Away many, many times, but I've never bothered to watch The Deer Hunter.

Like the comment below and the three replies, I have nothing but praise and fond memories about Paul Dooley as an actor, and also as a genuine down-to-earth guy. I was on a shuttle bus from one of the outlying parking lots at the Los Angeles Airport that dropped passengers off at the various LAX airline gates. The bus was very empty, maybe just three or four others sitting up front, and leaned forward and across the aisle. He was sitting quietly and alone - no newspaper or book, and cell phones were still a few years off - and I said, "Mr. Dooley, I'm sorry to interrupt but I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your work during the past few years." Breaking Away and Pretty in Pink had been released, along with a movie called O.C. and Stiggs, that was based on what may have been one of THE greatest all-time National Lampoon stories; without going in to details the magazine-to-film adaptation wasn’t a very good fit. I complemented his work in Pink and Breaking, and added, "You play a wonderful and believable dad." His reply: "Well, i AM a dad." And writing that response, I heard it in that distinctive voice of his.. I asked if he'd read the National Lampoon story, and he said, "Oh yeah...funny stuff." We were at his gate, and I told him, "Have a nice flight, and thank you again." He smiled, nodded his head and was gone. He was exactly what we always hope people we admire turn out to be: a class act.

The synth based soundtrack is also awesome. Great movie, thanks for reminding me.

This movie creeped me out more than Eraserhead.

My favorite movie of all time.

"The taste explosion of eating Dutch Apple pie." 😂

Nikola Jokic and Scarlett Johansson

All actors unknown except for Johansson. An effort to show aliens in the process of invading the Earth, using human skin as a disguise & Johansson's character developing an excessive interest in humans & how they live set off, somewhat predictability, by a sexual encounter with a human causing her to go awol & disrupting the plans of the aliens. There is disorentation for the audience when the skinning process is shown with no familiar points of reference. You have no clue what your looking at sometimes. The Johansson aliens failure to stick to the plan exposes the invasion & the final scenes are of the humans starting to fight back🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦🇮🇱

I watched the film on a recommendation, and was very disappointed by its overly 'arty' approach - or rather, it seemed to be trying *very* hard to be arty, but ended up making some truly baffling and nonsensical choices in its needlessly ambiguous presentation. I also think the use of random passers-by for the victims was more of a gimmick than a sound casting strategy. When I later read the book it's based on, I was disappointed all over again. If only the film had followed the book more closely, it could have been far more interesting, as you get to know the aliens - who consider themselves to be 'people' while humans are 'lesser', not necessarily even sentient - and what they're up to on Earth is far more explicit. The main character actually has a name, rather than being 'The Female', hates herself and is in constant paint because she was *surgically* altered to look human, rather than just being a conveniently humanoid alien wearing a skinsuit.

Love Peter. ❤

love this movie

Great movie

I could pretty easily see this as the start of a "When Harry met Sally"-style trilogy.

I saw the movie a couple times both at theater and streaming. My favorite scenes are the beach and the Maneater cover in the restaurant. Good movie!

I really like the movie. Plus it has really hot 🔥 Jennifer Lawrence

Love this thx! E

Sure, but where is the responsibility of the federal government in creating the 2008 mess? (unnaturally low interest rates, Community Reinvestment Act that forced banks to make risky loans in the name of fairness...). This movie - while very good - puts all the blame on greedy capitalism, when in reality Wall Street was reacting to what the feds were doing.

The anticipation the trailers created is perfect... action, comedy, espionage, romantic entanglement, on a backdrop of trying to make a movie... can't wait. I grew up watching the 80's TV series, and really looking forward to seeing this film. Need some fun that only classic movies can provide instead of ideology driven garbage.

This movie was the first time in my life that I liked the film so much, I saw it again the next day!

People criticize this movie, not realizing this the the fight club prequel. Fight club has bigger ideas, but its the same movie.

I agree that Dooley was brilliant.

This movie is so dumb. Its how Hollywood thinks the American middle class lives. It doesn't hold up at all.

The entertainment industry can't make movies like American Beauty anymore because they're devoid of all the things required to make an excellent film. 1) they're no longer the counter culture 2) they are devoid of creativity 3) they are filled with hacks and shills who try to buy audiences with flashy explosions and super powers

A decent Thriller"

It's hard to say why the 5th didn't take off like the first 3. I didnt ecen know there was a 5th. :)) O forgot about it with the studio's minimal advertising ....seems overall.....not just with the fifth JB film but with most Hollywood films done in the last 10 years....Hollywood has been "cheaping out" with their advertising budgets. In the early 20000's I recall HUGE ad campains e.g. for the Lord Of The Rings films, the Dark Knight Trillogy.... after 1011....something happened in Hollywood (and entertainment as a whle....oddly around the same time sax player Clarence Clemons from the E-Street Band died....it was like the music industry/film biz droped into a black hole....a-list actors/singers/bands had mostly retired or began to die....one by one....then recently a few of the legest began makng "return tours PT" e.g. Aerosmith...).... Kind of a sad time in entertainmet IMHO....we're moving away from the "movie theather going expereince" and moving to the "streaming" platform....most people don't own "home theater systems". But most can d/l film onto their flatscreens ...takes away from enjoying a film on a huge 50 foot screen, huge speakers/amps and a crowd having a good time....just not the same.... Tom Cruises latest Miion Impossible film went "stright to streaming with Paramount Plus".....which has to mean less revenue...i think too many don't want to watch films on a laptop....or even their 55" flatscreens (few can afford a 88" or larger..."dark times'''...

They turned him into Rambo.

I think this is my favorite Fincher film. I liked it more than 7. And I thought the ending was just breathtaking.

Saw this in the late 90's and I enjoyed it for its twists. The finale was a little excessive, but overall I enjoyed it. Watched it maybe 5 or 6 times since then.

I like this backsound music...👍🏼

best trilogy ever made.

0:15-0:17 the worst acting I’ve seen from Freeman

"Eenni food. He just wants to eat is linguini, fettccingi. I want some french fries."

This is one of my all time favourites and I watch at least once a year. I know that I am old as I have watched this on VHS,DVD,BLU-RAY & Digital lol.

When I was 16, this movie gave me hope of a better future when I didn't have much. I was a huge bicycle nut and thought I was alone in my passion as most of my friends were into organized sports. I saw this at a local theater about 6 times during the summer it was released. The acting was stunning by everyone and it fits the bill for a "feel good movie". Nobody walked out of this movie feeling bad unless they were a frat boy from Indiana.

Boogie Nights is undoubtably amazing, but it reads more like PTA trying to do Scorsese. I think he get's much better the more he does. I.e The master, There will be Blood, and the criminally underrated Inherent Vice.

Julianne Moore did in fact get an Oscar Nomination for Boogie Nights that year.

Fun Fact: Paul Dooley is an Italiophile and fluent in Italian, he minored in Italian in college, making his performance all that more hilarious.

I thought Joan Allen was the outstanding character. The scene where she dresses down the field agent is the best of of the trilogy.

There Will Be Blood is on the top 10 movies of all time on most Directors. For me after a 2 Kubrik films There will be Blood is no 3. And I have a BA in Filmaking. Cant get why Boogie Nights is Pauls best film. Also Mafnolia by Paul is a masterpiece. Boogie Nights its almost a slap commedy yet so many people love it.

Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Christmas music, Christmas is mentioned throughout the entire movie and don't forget, Santa made a list of the naughty ones giving the nice ones the biggest gift of all. Saving their lives

Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Follow the science.

A sweet film. Pity so few people remember it.

Good job

My wife and I saw movies based on the recommendations of Siskel & Ebert on their PBS show, "Sneak Previews." After watching "Breaking Away," I immediately wanted to give the Best Supporting Actor Oscar to Paul Dooley.
