Even though the movie wasn't particularly great, I thought Keaton did a pretty good acting job in White Noise.

I will never understand how he didn't get an Oscar nomination for Clean and Sober. Though I don't think he  would have won, he definitely deserved a nod.

I think my favorite Keaton movies aside from Batman are:

Multiplicity
Beetlejuice
Johhny Dangerously
Clean and Sober
Jackie Brown (even though he isn't the lead)

I also have nostalgic attachment to Pacific Heights and Desperate Measures. Once again almost like White Noise, good acting with a meh, thriller plot.

Has anyone ever seen Speechless? Geena Davis and Christopher Reeve are in it!

It probably sucks as it is a seemingly forgotten film, but it's Batman and Superman in the same movie so I have to get it at some point.

Finally bought NightShift about a month ago, its OK, nothing too special, but Keaton is great in it

Plus, has anyone seen the film he's in with Brendan Fraser?  I can't remember what its called, but it was released straight to DVD, it actually looks pretty damn good

The Last Time. It's alright.

I thought "The Last Time" was great. I had absolutely no idea what the movie was supposed to be about when I netflixed it. That only heightened my enjoyment.  It's one of those movies that doesn't really fit into any genre. Still, it's definitely not for everybody.

Just saw My Life a few days ago, it's been a while since I saw it and forgot how wonderful Keaton's performance is. Coming down to the end of the film when the illness really took over, to see him deshelved and weak, he made you believe he was sick. he should have been nominated for some type of award for that performance. Great.

Absolutely. It brings tears to my eyes watching his final few scenes. That movie doesn't get enough credit.

Agreed, that's one thing I like about movies as a whole, you can always find some hidden gems from time to time. It is indeed underrated.

He didnt play a big role but his role was fairly memorable in the other guys.
