    No Frankie And Johnny or Danny Collins sadly, two 'lighter' roles often forgotten. What a list of films though, so many masterpieces. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ap...

    I always struggle to find a quotation from Ebert in the 2010s talking about like Danny Collins as a movie from another era where two actual movie stars make a breezy romantic comedy not designed to sell a franchise and how movies like that used to come out once a week. This thread covers so much

    As I watch Al Pacino checking out of a Hilton Hotel, laughing so hard at reality in harmony, via the Danny Collins movie! 😂 But thank you, Universe, for allowing me to become the all-in-all of a beautiful Sunset hotel; I'm in charge of all its upkeep! You work so fabulously! Fix my back, boo! T

    I can just look up a list of films released some time in the early 2010s and there will be countless hours of mid that I once sat through. Apparently I once saw a film called Danny Collins! (2015)

    > A 40 year old letter and the road to redemption. First of all, the director proved the script is very important to a film's success. He wrote it, basically he's a screenplay writer who had written many great stuffs and this film is his first directional venture. He excelled it by picking the right stuffs for the project. As the great actors on-board, it was shot in the fine locations and the music was wonderful. It should have been a dream coming true for him, for a great project to work…
