Who’s your favourite actor on this list?
I love Ben Foster! He always plays the most intense crazy roles! I kinda think he must be kinda crazy in real life hahah!
Hahaha, that’s only logical 😉
I miss John Candy. If you haven’t, see Trains, Planes, and Automobiles, which is my favorite movie of his. It’s directed by John Hughes and also has Steve Martin in it. Nice post.
I really want to see all of that. I remember seeing parts of it, and I think it’s what caused my fear of motels, because of when the teenager got into their room and took their money. Of course, Psycho may just have added to that fear, lol. I love John Hughes. Thanks for the suggestion; and thank you 🙂 !
