Gran Torino is such a freakin' awesome movie. Everything in Clint Eastwood's career built up for the ending of it. I can't count the number of movies where he's the reckoning/retribution/force of vengeance at the end, and he still is in Gran Torino, but he tilts it on its head and does it in a way you didn't expect. It was at least as good the second time because things like the horoscope mean something more when you know how the movie ends.
I just watched the Popcorn In Bed react and it's funny, watching a girl watch the dialog between guys, because she doesn't understand the busting balls interaction and it makes it so much better. Yes, guys that know each other act that way to each other.
On a totally unrelated note, if a 1972 Gran Torino Sport fell in my lap there's a very good chance I'd use it to build a Main Force Patrol Pursuit Special. But after re-rewatching this movie, if it was remotely restorable, I'd do a faithful restore.
And on a completely-completely unrelated note, I kind of want any 1987 Buick Regal to do up as a GNX (because I don't think I could afford a GNX even if I could find one).
