What's pathetic is.... I used to think The Prince of Tides was a great movie. AI YI YI !!!!! What was I thinking?!?!?!?!? It's unwatchable now- I can't see any of the scenery because Barbra's head is so huge it occupies the entire screen. And, nice try Jason Gould ** NOT ** - homos can't play football.

There are only two good Streisand movies- What's Up Doc? (one of the best movies of all time IMO) and Nuts (yeah, she was over the top and "acting", but I still like it). Otherwise, you can chuck her movie career in the dumper.

Funny Girl, Hello Dolly, On A Clear Day, Up The Sandbox , A Star is Born (ironic), The Main Event The Mirror Has Two Faces- the list goes on and on, all stinkers.

Even though she played herself in Meet the Fockers, it wasn't so bad.

like musical tastes, everyone will differ. I, for one, love Funny Girl, On A Clear Day and Mirror...Nuts and Yentl are both great as well.

One of Barbra's best, though, is For Pete's Sake. Not very well known.

Nuts is the only one I like, and it gets picked on all the time. I thought she deserved an Oscar nomination for it.

Yeah, if they had one for overacting. She most definitely would have won (and Dreyfuss, too, for that matter, but he always overacts everything). The whole notion of her even playing a hooker was laughable and hard to swallow. Good flick, though.

I don't think she overacted at all and I can't picture anyone else in this role.

Laughable is right. I thought she was awesome in the role, though. I think she's great at anger and bitterness. Bitch works good with her.

Now if only she would have played Yentl as a bitch.

It would have been preferable to the milksop she played always longing for undiscovered sweetness, yadda, yadda, yadda.... OY!! Just bang Avigdor and get it over with. Mandy Patinkin was hot back then- I know I would been allllllll over him in a heartbeat.

Wow - I think he's kind of cute. Don't like him in everything, though. Actually, I've only seen a few of his movies, but I just kind of like him. Ah, well - Scorp- what can I do?

I've heard he's got quite the Napoleon complex. If it weren't for him, The Goodbye Girl would be perfection, but alas, he ruins it. Marsha Mason deserved better, dammit.

Oh I am unsure about that - his portrayal at least - I mean "Now is the winter of our discontent" with a swish come one - you didn't even laugh a little at that

But, I also am not too enthralled with him, though I liked him in Close Encounters.
