Personally... I'd go with Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but I'm thinking you're more of a Mystic River guy. By the way... I love Mystic River too.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen any of these movies. I decided long ago I would never see a James Bond film.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Penn only has one more. Mystic River certainly is a plausible, but I'll go a different way and guess Dead Man Walking. Those I DID see, and they were both very good. I have a story to tell about Dead Man Walking if I'm right....
I've only seen Dr. No.
ReplyDeletePenn is great in Mystic River, that would be my choice.
I'm not really a 007 fan, but my mom is, so I saw all of them growing up many times, or at least all of the pre Pierce Brosnan Bonds. Ronin used to be one of my favorites, but has dropped down the ranks over the years.
ReplyDeleteNever cared much for Sean Penn, so I'll just go with Fast Times as my guess.
