It's actually pretty epic in the theater.

A good bottle of cheap vodka is what it needs - Victor Khomenko 05:04:10 11/28/13 (20)
All women are pretty and all films good enough after that.

  the major stars, i.e. Clark and Vivien, or you're not.
  NO one should approach the mega-blockbusters of their day expecting anything but fantastic entertainment. I don't think anyone sensible EVER has expected high art. Certainly, no such claims were made for the book. It was schlock, in its day, but very good schlock.
  A guilty pleasure, if you wish...

    There are still thousands of good films out there that I have not seen.
    
    Would I waste my time on something of a marginal significance that I have already seen once?
    
    Would I drink the wine that has been sitting in the glass for the last two weeks?

  Good vodka doesn't have to be expensive, but I've never had cheap vodka that was good-tasting.

        Hard to say any one brand is "the best" but Grey Goose is certainly a top shelf item. I'm happy with Stoli if I want to save a few bucks, but I'm certain I can tell the difference between the two. I'll no longer drink anything less than that though.
        
        A former poster, Johnny Thunders, recommended Enchanted Rock Vodka as the "best" - Road Warrior 06:51:48 11/30/13 (10)

        I tried it. It is. However, as most of our vodka goes into White Russians, Veil works perfectly fine. It'd be a waste of good vodka to put the Enchanted Rock into it. Again, try Veil if you can find it. You may well be surprised.

        ...Smirnoff is the usual winner.

        Unless you like your vodka to have some flavor or other.

        I wrote it off years ago as "premium" vodkas became all the rage. Another good, inexpensive vodka, recommended by daughter (bartenderess), is Monopolowa. Still, our "go to" mixing vodka, is Veil.

        Hanger One vodka is made near here.
        
        I stopped drinking the hard stuff about 10 years ago - a little beer and a lot of wine is all I drink now.

        All personal tastes, of course, but I never liked Smirnoff. If you want something inexpensive, but good (in my view...), try Wyborowa, it is very good. When properly chilled and served, it is excellent.

        And I like the flavor of tubes.

        Vodka, most definitely, is NOT a diluted alcohol.
        
        Vodka, unlike most hard liquors, traditionally is taken w/meals. I think, Vic, that's why - tinear 12:17:57 12/10/13 (0)

        Maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't seem like straight shots of scotch, tequilla, or bourbon.
        Grey goose to me doesn't seem like straight drinking stuff. If that's one of the best maybe I better move on.
