I'm a huge fan of movies set in one room or location, so this one is a must for me

Always down for more Malle.

If this were My Dinner With Andre the Giant, the running time would be around 10 hours or so.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I yelled when i saw this on the front page just now!!!!!! I love this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody really cares about this movie huh? I caught it back in 2004 while watching TV and i was instantly hooked. I'm all for different views about life and how the world works. The Philosophical and Metaphysics discussion was simply amazing to me.

You could watch My Breakfast With Blassie starring Andy Kaufman and "Classy" Freddie Blassie.

I have the DVD of that one.

[Show spoiler]

I've never seen My Dinner with Andre, but might blind buy it, just based on so many people's praise for it.

I've been wanting to see this for years. Definitely will pick up during Barnes and nobles next sale.

Discovered this little gem due to Siskel and Ebert.
Wish there were some critics around to take their places and tell me about little known and overlooked films.

I've been meaning to pick this up for a couple years now. Maybe this July if B&N sales is on. Seems interesting .
