The Big Year, starring Jack Black, Owen Wilson and Steve Martin.

I rather liked this movie. It had a cute plot and a good dose of not-too-slapstick humour. Should deserve more recognition.

Its on netflix and its well worth a watch. The songs are great, the villain is great, and the main characters are great.
Do it NOW.

Frollo is comparable to the Duke of Weselton.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK.
Did the Duke of Weselton try to burn down an entire city just to find one girl?
Did he attempt to murder a family because they let homeless into their house?
Did he attempt to murder a baby because he was malformed?
You cannot compare those two.

The 400 Blows (1959) If you're a film student you seen it. If you're not you'll probably think its a porno.

Any thing made by Fritz Lang. And Brazil (1985), is a VASTLY underrated film that has large amount of critical praise.

He did 3 of those things in the movie.
Or 2, if you don't count the attempt to kill Quasimodo. He also tried to burn down all of Paris.
And I agree with Napkiraly. Hellfire is one of my favorite songs in a Disney movie ever.

I saw that, but didn't really get it. I suppose I could say I mildly liked it, because at least it was entertaining enough to keep me awake, but I had no idea what the fuck was going on most of the time and that, to me, is not synonymous with a great film.

United Russian Soviet States wrote:Frollo is comparable to the Duke of Weselton.


I don't see how that comparison can possibly be made without massive amounts of recreational pharmaceuticals. The Duke of Weselton wasn't even the big bad in Frozen -- hell, he was just barely a villain period -- while Frollo was literally a holy terror. Frollo would eat Weselton for lunch, and probably still not be full afterward.

Book Frollo is even scarier. Because he does all of that yet is also shown to be compassionate as well.
