Favorite Jeff Goldblum movie?
I'm going with The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, even though it's probably not his best performance, it's my favorite movie that just happens to have Jeff Goldblum in it. I like his sci-fi stuff too, Jurassic Park I, II. Independence Day. The Fly was pretty awesome. It's up there with my all time gross out movies.

1. My favorite is The Fly
He's had so many roles in which he seemed to play caricatures of himself, but as Seth Brundle he really hit it out of the park.

19. The scene in the coffee shop still cracks me up to this day
Geena Davis' wide-eyed astonishment is perfect!

3. He'll always be Ian Malcolm the eccentric mathematician on Jurassic Park to me

4. The Fly
Hi,
Gosh, I am not sure, I thought he was good in the Big Chill, the Fly was awesome. I think I'll have to revisit the Life Aquatic, I only saw it once.

Peace

32. It's excellent.
Goldblum plays a serial killer who gets caught in the beginning of the film and put in an institution, where we learn that there's more to him than suspected. I liked it so much I bought it. :)

31. Great, low key thriller.
Easily one of his best films, and almost totally unknown by most people. It deserves more attention.

9. I liked "The Big Chill". His character grew more over that weekend
than in his entire life.

10. Did not like the fly, I'm sure it was a good movie but it was too gross for me
I guess my favorite Goldblum roles are Jurassic Park and Independence Day.

13. Damn, I forgot about that one.
One of my favorite parts was in the beginning when he is talking to the male/female doctors, and he gets frustrated and he puts his head/hands down on the table in a sign of disgust, and he raises up quick and says

"Someone has had sex on this table"

And both doc's give each other an "ahem" look.

16. That comment is in one of the trailers, and considered posting it
until I saw the one I did post. Look through the clips related and you'll find it :)

Supposedly, one comment said Sony was to release the movie to DVD this past February. I'll have to look that up as all I have is a tape-to-DVD copy...

34. I was waiting for someone to say "Into The Night"
Michelle Pfeiffer gave a hell of a performance, too, as did director John Landis, as one of the bearded Eurasian gangsters. The brother character with the Cadillac was pretty funny, too.

27. The Right Stuff
He was the tall dude from Washington. Harry Shearer was the short dude from Washington.
John
And, yes, The Right Stuff is my favorite movie (with or without Jeff Goldblum).

30. One without very much Jeff Goldblum, please
His standard "neurotic Jew" schtick gets on my fucking NERVES!!!

I can barely stand to watch Jurassic Park or The Lost World, and I can't stand Independence Day at all any more.
