The five movies you meet in heaven, part one...

Let talk films, shall we? Okay, listen, it's simple: Jack Lemmon was one of the greatest actors to ever live. Period. Tho his dramatic work was incredible ("Glengarry Glen Ross" anyone? "Days of Wine & Roses"? "Missing"?), he was easily one of the greatest comedic actors of all time. If you have never seen the 1970 flick "The Out of Towners" then run, don't walk, and BUY IT! One of the funniest - and most uncomfortable - films of all time. Waaaaay before the world was introduced to Larry David, Jack Lemmon perfected lovable social awkwardness in harried businessman George Kellerman. Watch the scene below... if you don't run out and watch the movie then you love Dane Cook, James Blunt, and Will Ferrell in Bewitched. Bonus for those who watch the film: look for a cameo by a very young Lando Calrissian. AND DO NOT be fooled by the allegedly and assuredly shitty 90's remake with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn - unless, of course, you love Mr. Cook, Mr. Blunt, et al.



And the man kept his sense of humor until the very end. Below is a genuine pic of Lemmon's tombstone. God Bless you Jack Lemmon, wherever ye may be...
