He and Emilio Estevez play gargage men. Good stuff.

He was also pretty funny in Hot Shots.

eight men out and being john malkovich (where all he did was play himself) were decent movies. he had pretty inconsequential roles in each.

comedy is a tough gig so it's not a dis that his best roles were there. but major league covered territory that slap shot already did much better 12 years before.

i'd watch repo man another 10x before bothering with major league again. and then only for bob uecker. sheen + uecker can't quite overcome the pain of watching corbin bernsen trying to be funny.

I forgot he was in Eight Men Out, you're right, that was a decent enough movie.

He was actually pretty good in Platoon also and a movie not many people have seen called Cadence. Even Beyond the Law is okay when you're really bored and it's on late at night.

Mainly that he had potential as an actor. But drugs ruin people and horse breeding.

I wouldn't believe anything Sheen says.A perpetual self hype machine if there ever was one of those things.

that's okay. i completely blanked on platoon and wall street which kind of negates my point that he was didn't have any major roles in serious movies.

outside of oliver stone movies though...
