Title: Philadelphia the Movie. WOW!!!
Post by: redmenace on June 17, 2005, 02:21:36 am
I have never seen a more depressing, sad and moving film in a long time. I am very impressed. I strongly recommend it to anyone.

You're quite a few years late with that...  I think what you said is common knowledge by now.

I never saw the movie, I just randomly picked it up at a eb games here in the US and watched it when I got back from work. I had no idea it was so good.

It's a trial movie, about a gay guy who got AIDS and sues his boss for having fired him discriminately (of course the guy was top notch, you know, the best advocate around or something).
It's very good indeed, and quite old too :p

Is this a Tom Hanks movie?

Edit: Oh, it is. I have seen it earlier, I do recognize now. Excellent movie, really :yes:

You bought Philadelphia at EB? Not very uplifting thing to sell at a game store, eh?

I saw it a few times, pretty good. So the guy loses his job and dies. Big deal. I've lost my job and died, twice. And let me tell you man, malaria makes AIDS seem like a day at the beach.

They were selling it used for 8 bucks. Just a couple weeks earlier I bought the extended edition of LOTR:TT and the directors cut of stargate ;7
