I can agree with you that the "from the grave" narration is a little tedious, but his voice in Sunset Boulevard is too good to pass up. <br /><br />Another good list! I've got to agree with you, that narration is usually a bummer. However, definitely excellent narration picks!M.

But I could go on and on. <br /><br />Great stuff!Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633372963531721397.post-47559347337125195802012-03-11T10:47:50.940-07:002012-03-11T10:47:50.940-07:00Dammit, now I'm kicking myself for not includi...Dammit, now I'm kicking myself for not including some of these. A Clockwork Orange I can forgive myself for with the whole "based off a book" excuse, but I can't really make any excuses for not including Goodfellas and Princess Bride. Great list! I do love me some well-done narration.M.

The script is hilarious, RDJ is hilarious, I'm sold. <br /><br />Damn, I haven't seen About A Boy in years. I'm pretty sure I remember enjoying it, but I should refresh that memory. And any movie called Kamikaze Girls peeks my interest, I have to get on that. <br /><br />Narrators who are jerks are really the best kind! There's nothing better than a sarcastic, bitter fly on the wall.M.

KKBB's narration is probably my favorite ever, it's just so effortlessly funny. <br /><br />Some of my other favorites are Hugh Grant in ABOUT A BOY- mostly because I really get his grossed-out feelings around children and his condescension toward other humans in general- and Momoko's narration in KAMIKAZE GIRLS, since she's so funny in her disdain for everything around her and her lack of interest in basic emotions. <br /><br />Hmm. I guess I like narrators who are jerks to everyone. Cool.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471664551639091150noreply@blogger.com
