i just found out last night, that one of my favorite all time movies, FANDANGO is now avail on DVD. i used to have it on a VHS tape that i recorded off HBO, but my old room mate took it when we parted ways. i had been searching for it for years on DVD, but it wasnt avail.. until about 3 weeks ago, and i ran across it by a streak of luck. i was trying to find 'Dances with Wolves' on DTS, and just happened to link to a kevin costner page, and VIOLA!! there was Fandango.

if you have never seen this movie, do so IMMEDIATELY. its about a bunch of guys who take that last road trip before they start their lives after college is over. the dialogue between friends is fantastic, and it has a sky-diving scene, that is quite possibly the funniest 20 minutes in cinema history.. i am not kidding. it will make you spit beer, its so hilarious.

anyway, just giving a heads up an a great movie. and dont worry thats its kevin costner. i would argue that this is his best performance in a movie, ever..

BTW- it was one the first movies made under steven spielbergs AMBLIN label.

Thanks for the tip. Just added it to my NetFlix queue.

let me know what you think of it?

everytime i have ever mentioned it to people i know, the first thing i hear is, "fandango, what movie is that? i have never heard of it!"

then, i would lend them my tape, and i would hear, "dude, that movie was great.. especially the sky-dive scene."

for some reason, thats the part everyone remembers?

Hmmmm. Maybe I'll move it up in my queue. It's currently 27th.
