Thumbs up Sling blade - What a film

Watched it over the weekend.
It's the sort of film where nothing much happens but it's the acting which blowed me away.
Billy Bob Thornton is a damn good actor, and he wrote it aswell.
I have to see it again, and soon.

Have had it sitting in my 'to watch' pile for a few weeks. Must get round to watching it. Shame it's not anamorphic.

Really like Billy Bob - he's written/starred in some great movies

I missed Sling Blade when it came on a while back, so I'll probably have to pick it up on DVD. Definitely one of my favs.

Watched it tonight and loved it, great movie with great dialogue and great perfomances

Billy Bob looks really different - had to keep checking the back of the box to make sure it really was him!

Says 5.1 on the back, but was only Dolby Surround Not that it requires a 5.1 soundtrack but cover errors are annoying

Mmm-hhhmmm. Alright then
