Rash Hunt

Questionable father figures in every one, at least this list reflects Pullman's career.

Good list, its different for once. I haven't seen Pullman in a while which is a shame since he is a good actor. I think the last thing I saw him in was You Kill Me which was pretty good.

I think the last movie I saw with him in it was David Lynch's superb film Lost Highway. Nothing will beat Spaceballs though.

I recently rewatched Spaceballs after years of remembering it as one of the funniest films ever made.
It sucked, it aged badly and I'm pretty sure once one is mature enough, it just isn't funny at all any more.

Just like all Mel Brooks films.

ID4 stopped being a good scifi film for me when the Prez did his über-patriotic speech, talking to all Americans like it was the only country in the world.

Again.

I liked Bill Pullman in Arachnophobia.
His versatility is commendable but he's not that great.
A Jack-of-all-trades I suppose. Knows a lot but not really that good at anything.

Meh.

His movie choices are very different though. No Godfather??? FINALLY!

I loved him in Ruthless People. Not all Mel Brooks movies age poorly. I still think Blazzing Saddles will always be a classic (as long as it isn't an edited version). Movies like that can't even be made in this PC world. Don't forget that Mel has reinvented his own stuff for Broadway.

Lost Highway, Accidental Tourist, Igby Goes Down and Spaceballs all contained great and varied performances. I always feel he isn't given the props he deserves. Interesting list in that I have only seen two of them.

I'v never liked him as an actor, but it's a decent list. At least he's not naming obvious films like Bruckheimer did.

I agree with the comments about Spaceballs. I used to be convinced it was the funniest thing until I saw it again as an adult in the 00s. Oh, those simple days of youth...

'Zero Effect' was a good movie, it was just so under the radar. I don't remember even hearing about it until I saw it on the shelf at the video store.

I also loved him in 'The Serpent and the Rainbow'.

Oh, also 'Twister'!

loved you in Near Dark...wait a minute that's Bill Paxton. Seriously though is there anyone in Hollywood who's confused more often for someone else?

Oh and in defense of the Independence Day speech, the movie was called Independence Day, Released on the 4th of July and he was the President of the United States, so I think a little unadulterated patriotism was to be expected.

Pullman's a Bergman fan?! And it isn't "Wild Strawberries" or "the Seventh Seal"? Okay, this guy is officially badass in my book.
