Good call with "RoboCop," since it actually features a brief New Year's party from Robo's POV.
Here's my second chance faves:
1. The Straight Story -- Old dude on a lawnmower, last chance to make amends with his brother.
2. The Best of Times -- One more shot at winning the big game.
3. Point Blank -- Lee Marvin has one last chance to get his money back.
4. Almost an Angel -- Paul Hogan has a chance to make right.
5. Dead Heat -- Treat Williams dies, but thanks to 80s technology, comes back to life and puts on lipstick.
God Bless You Adam,
I've been meaning to get in a Dead Heat mention before the end of the year and you've delivered.
Grease. At the end. Danny was willing to start over as a school jock and Sandy was willing to start over as the school vamp.
School tramp is more like it. It's the hottest Newton John has ever looked.
Vertigo and Regarding Henry.
Les Miserables is my favorite story about second chances, but it's yet to be turned into a solid adaptation.
def check it out! it's a downloadable Wii-Ware title!
I love your creative association with New Years! Second chance movies - brillant.
Thanks The Fraze, I will indeed do that.
Shannon. Thanks for the props. But no list?
I honestly can't think of any films about second chances... not really one of my things to be honest.
I'm a little harsh like that.. you mess up and out with you! :)
However, JCVD fits the bill in a rather meta way.
Happy New Year!
