Throw Momma from the Train

Buy This Item Throw Momma from the Train by MGM (Video & DVD)  Available from Amazon  $14.95  on 11-16-2008     Who are these people? Who knows, who cares? Evidently Amazon do, since it lists them before Danny DeVito, Billy Crystal, and the absolutely great Anne Ramsey. Do you mind if I rant? Why the bloody hell does Amazon persist in listing casts In Order Of Appearance? In this case, Anne Ramsey, who won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Owen's momma, is not on Amazon's cast list!! On one of my favorite movies, the first five roles that Amazon lists never made the screen in the film's North America release(had to catch the Tierra del Fuegan version). Anyhow, the late Ms. Ramsey's Momma is so horrible, you have to love her. I sat down with my 82 year old Mother, & she just howled.with laughter, that is. Danny Devito is really wonderfully simple, and Billy Crystal, as usual is excellent. Writing this makes me want to see more Anne Ramsey.all I can think of is "Scrooged", where she has a small role as a bum/angel along with Michael J. Pollard. Too bad I couldn't just click on her name to find other roles. At least I was able to click on Peter Brocco name, & discover that his only two other roles were in Spartacus, & on the Cuckoo's Nest soundtrack.I wonder where he's waiting tables. Reader Reviews the thing i liked most about this film, is they seemed to always have the most casual of conversations during the most extreme life events. the whole cast is fantastic, every character in the film fills their spot appropriately. anne ramsey, danny devito, and billy crystal are magnificent. danny devito is virtually non-stop the entire film with his casual charismatic commentary, billy crystal seems to have an endless style of chronic complaining and hilarious one liners, top it all off with mommas insulting demands and screaming complaints. the great branford marsalis was also in the movie and wrote two songs for the soundtrack. the movie seems to be most enjoyable when in a very relaxed mood, non- stop laughter, almost have to pause it at times. the film effects, lighting, coloring, music and cinematography are all fantastic. i wish films of this caliber were still being produced.
