Ed Wood (1994)I just finished watching this and absolutely
loved it. Johnny Depp plays aspiring filmmaker (and cross dresser) Ed Wood who's desperately trying to make it in the motion picture industry. Depp was very good in this as Wood; Very zany and hilarious with delusions of grandeur, it was just a thrill to see him get so into the role. But my favorite performance would have to be Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi – who was just outstanding to watch. I think my favorite part would be when he and Wood are watching one of his films together on Halloween, or when Wood's trying to convince Lugosi not to kill himself. Sarah Jessica Parker and Bill Murray were also very good in their respective roles.
I always loved
Get Shorty – and the way it portrayed the motion picture industry, but
Ed Wood is so much better.
"All right, let's shoot this f**ker!" And I will make it my mission in life to see
Plan 9 From Outer Space.
10/10
Gotta thank Cvalda for recommending it.
