name your favorite films Mickey starred in. also didn't he used to be soo into boxing???

I have a couple of pics, I think from vanity fair years ago, MMM, MMM, MMM, The Roasty Rourke!!!!  ;)

Barfly, good film,  Jack Nance was a detective in that film

Johnny Handsom, I lika too, got a cool presskit from that film :)   Bullet was a good film too.  if ya are a Rourke fan, sign a petition to get his star, he deserves it! I.M.O.

Sin City, Masked & Anonymous, Diner, Barfly.

I usually wouldn't go see a movie about a wrestler, but Darren Aronofsky directing and Mickey Rourke in the lead?  I'll be there!. Mickey has gotten a Golden Globe nomination and the movie has already won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

Any time you commit a crime there's fifty things that can go wrong.  If you're a genius, you'll think of twenty-five.  And you're no genius.  Remember who told me that, counselor?

 ...or something like that.

Body Heat.  Small but memorable role.  

8 1/2 Days had some enjoyable imagery for a crappy movie. 

Diner, of course.

Love the menace and mess that is Mickey Rourke.  You know "they" used to say that one of the cardinal rules of independent films was not to cast either Eric Roberts or Mickey Rourke.  Half of that formula has lost its luster.  And for the likes of me, Eric Roberts is far more preferable than his sister any day.

Hahaha, who knew it lasted that long! 

I'm only glad it wasn't 28 Days Later.  Or the Year 1,000,000.  Or that great Fellini film 3 1/2.

Numbers shmumbers.

He allegedly has a very large manhood, too. I saw a shot of him in Celebrity Skin ages ago where the dingle was dangling, and it looked a-ok to me!

one other film I have to mention is wild orchid.

My Fave Mickey Movies:

1. Barfly - for some reason he oozes sexuality in this movie even though he wears shit stained clothes through the whole thing.
2. Angel Heart - Most underrated performance of the 80's. He should have won an Oscar for this one.
3. Spun - He was just hilarious in this one.

Can't wait to see The Wrestler.

bumping because i finally got to see the wrestler

you know you dun fucked up and overhyped the movie for yourself when the movie is over and it was exquisite and you're still not satisfied. :(

if your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it...

Angel Heart, Sin City (Marv's Da Man!), Rumble Fish, Diner...

Also a so-so remake of The Desperate Hours. Not as good as the Bogart original, but it was decent and Rourke was good in it.

Still haven't gotten around to The Wrestler-I know, I'm lame-dying to see it, though.

"What? Did your life pass before your eyes? Cuppa tea, cuppa tea, almost got shagged, cuppa tea..."

 All awesome flicks, William!  You gotta see The Wrestler - amazing performance!

Angel Heart and Sin City might be his best work to date though.

It's good to see all the Angel Heart fans in here, one of my fav. movies!
