Roxanne
Roxanne (1987)

Martin wrote this reworking of Cyrano De Bergerac in which he also stars as CD Bales, a firefighter in a small town with an excessively large appendage. Daryl Hannah is his secret love and Rick Rossovich is his rival in love who hides behind Martin's words.

Bunn - Might have seen this years ago, but I can't recall.Dave absolutely adores this movie, so I think I'll pass you over to him. I plan on watching it over the next few days, so I'll let you know if I agree with Dave on this one. Not too sure about the prosthetic nose, but a nekkid Daryl Hannah definitely makes me want to watch it, even if it is one of those annoying rear-view shots. Dagnammit!!!

Dave - Any film that starts with Daryl Hannah naked can't be all bad - and this is so much more than that. Martin's best ever movie is a hybrid of so many great factors that I can't possibly describe them all here. But I'll try: funnysweettouchingbeautifulsmalltownsdarylhannah20differentinsultsforpeoplewithlargenosesdarylhannah wellactedwelldirectedwellshotbackgroundgagslittlequirksfatkidsswearingdarylhannah... is that enough?
