Vicky Christina Barcelona. Two women go on vacation in Barcelona, where an attractive painter tries to seduce both of them -- and does, although not together as he would like. Enjoyed the scenery (Spain is gorgeous!), and will never say no to seeing Scarlett Johannson or Penelope Cruz, but i wasn't into the story.

Boogie Nights, 1997. Star-filled cast involving Burt Reynolds trying to get Mark Wahlberg to do adult film in the ‘70s/’80s. Appearances by a bunch of known actors. Nice music. Cars were tolerable. Dug the chick on rollerskates.

Mean Streets. 1973. Early Scorcese film about the New York Mafia, featuring a young Robert de Niro (pre-Taxi Driver), as well as a youngish David Proval, better known as Richie Aprile from The Sopranoes. I was surprised he was the only Sopranoes actor I recognized. Good music, NYC at night is pretty. Possible shot of WTC towers right after construction, but not positive. Never really got into the film.
