Wow, good call, John. I completely forgot about Breakdown. When I left the theater after this movie I was so wound up it took me two hours to relax. :thumbsup:

07 Conspiracy Theory
Click to expand...
i once worked with a guy who loved this movie. he was a black man in his forties,wore huge sunglasses, lived in a hotel apartment in downtown LA, owned a black camaro, smoked marlboro reds, and loooved julia roberts. everyday for a year he was teased and taunted over his love for this movie. his die-hard admiration was never shaken. "the greatest... thriller... ever.... conspiracy theory... ha, ha" i wish you guys could hear the sound of his voice. he was one of a kind. looked like sammy davis jr, talked like james earl jones. hadn't seen him in about five years and found out a few weeks ago that he died last december. :crybaby:

now i'll never be able to buy that book of movie reviews he always claimed he would write called, "Terrible Movies I've Never Seen". :)
