I love Enemy Mine, but I highly suggest Diggstown if you’ve not seen it. Highly underrated movie and I think a great performance by Louis Gossett Jr. (Also James Woods but… hes a dick)
I have not seen Diggstown, thanks for the recommendation.
And James Woods is indeed a dick, which makes me glad I didn’t say anything to him when I saw him at a restaurant in Hollywood years ago when I lived in L.A.
Not that I ever went up to celebrities and talked to them unprompted anyway, but he’s pretty much the only one I can think of who I saw when I lived there that I’m not sorry I didn’t get to talk to. I suppose technically also Jared Leto, but I’m sure we could have had some sort of conversation.
I am sorry I didn’t get to talk to Michael Clarke Duncan while he was still alive, but at least I got to see the only person I’ve ever seen get out of a Cadillac Escalade who really did need a car that big.
All I know from seeing him outside of the movies is that the man was an absolute mountain that cameras did not do justice to. I honestly have never seen a more huge person. I don’t mean obese, just massive. Tall, wide, etc. But also in shape. Even if I didn’t know who he was, it would have been stunning. Like I don’t know how strong he actually was, but if you ever wanted to see a real-life version of a big, bulky Marvel superhero, he was it.
Diggstown is a favorite of mine, although actually knowing how big of a piece of dung James Woods is kinda hurts it for me. But Louis Gossett Jr. is fantastic, and Bruce Dern is at his “jerky” best here. The plot, while not that realistic is still really enjoyable.
