Why I love it...
It's a very Tom Hanks movie. He wrote it, he directed it, he produced it, and stars in it. And who doesn't love them some Tom Hanks, amiright?
On top of that, it's got two things that never get old:
First, coming from a background of music and playing in bands, I really do enjoy the accurate portrayal this movie has of 4 guys playing music in a band. The relationships within it, the fun, the repetitiveness- it's all there and realistic.
Second, it may be the best movie for funny quotes. And that may not seem like much, but anyone who has seen that movie knows the joy of quoting it in regular conversations with friends and another person picking up on it. It's Tom Hanks doing what he does best- bringing people together.
i thought about this movie about a month ago, search netflix. nope, then last week it magically appeared! i've watched it 4 times since then. hahaha. one of my fav's. it never gets old. my favorite character has to be lenny. captain geetch and the shrimpshack shooters, baby!
