Yeah, the rest of the world hasn't had any luck, why should Texas?

even Petoria was eventually annexed back into Quahog, it's manifest destiny

[USAFChief]

Texas and Quebec can join forces. At the very least.. The combination of the accents would be hilarious.

[Thegrin]

Texas + Oil + Gas = a good economy 

 

+ not enough liberals to **** it up

Nobody does passive aggressive regional elitism better, imho.

Nobody feigns seceding quite like the Quebecois, they wouldn't be happy if they weren't unhappy.

[Squirrel]

The Fisher King for me, too.

Not even sure I could pick a favorite...but...this was amongst the best. Won Gold Globes, should have won the Oscar.

[Squirrel]

dead poets society

Yeah, that's up there, too ... so a tie between that and The Fisher King.  I think The Fisher King was his best performance.

Many good ones. One that doesn't get much credit that I liked was "Moscow on the Hudson".

[ashbury]

very likely so.

"Ya'll ain't from around here, eh? Viva Quebec!!"

Fify

[Squirrel]

When I lived in Canada, my mom used to like to joke and say that if Quebec was ever successful at seceding, that the U.S. should recognize them by giving them Texas.

Mrs Doubt......nevermind.

Good Will Hunting.  Although Mrs Doubtfire will always hold a special place in my heart.

[alskntwnsfn]

I might have to go back and watch a lot of these, most of his best work happened when i was either too young to understand it or appreciate it.

[stringer bell]

I loved GWH, but I consider it to be Damon and AffLeck's movie.

[twinsnorth49]

When I lived in Canada, my mom used to like to joke and say that if Quebec was ever successful at seceding, that the U.S. should recognize them by giving them Texas.

And then they would spend 147 years trying to annex them.

 

If Quebec ever separated they would all leave, because they would have nothing left to do.

While I think "Good Morning Vietnam" was a better movie, "Mrs Doubtfire" is very underrated, IMO, and a fabulous piece of acting by Williams.  

[Richie the Rally Goat]

it didn't say favorite movie because of Robin Williams, I agree that the Fisher king is his best work

[Riverbrian]

Good Will Hunting

[twinsnorth49]

Agreed, great movie but I never consider it Williams movie.

[stringer bell]

The kid can steal bases.

My kids think Mrs. Doubtfire is the funniest movie ever made.

[Riverbrian]

Agreed, great movie but I never consider it Williams movie.

Obviously it was Damon mainly but Robin was pretty prominent.
