bunglehead Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Nobody's posting. Slackers. How about this: I know there are a lot of you Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Matrix type losers out there in Sprayslvania, so on that note: What movies have you watched the most? Me: PCU. At least a hundred times since 1994 The Kids are Alright. (the Who film) I broke it. Independence Day. Maybe 8 times? The scence where Bill Pullman (as the president!) gives that rousing speech leaves me laughing so hard I have to leave the room or stop the movie. It seriously doubles me over in laughter. That's one of the worst films of all time The Day After Tomorrow is slowly moving up the list for me. Anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recycled Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Diva Best movie ever, though Repo Man's up there too. They're the only 2 movies I actually own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotzen Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 So as not to be labeled a slacker, my favorite films are "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover," "Das Boot," and "The Professional." Any questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglehead Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) Waiting for Grizzly Man to show up at a theater near me. Wot's PCU? A very, very, very bad college film. It's supposed to be all about being PC. This kid goes to check out a college for the weekend (Port Chester U) and all hell breaks loose as these stoners throw raw meat on vegan protestors, a plot with an outlawed frat, angry black militants, womynists, gays, hippies, etc. etc. David Spade, Jeremy Piven, Jon Favreau, They're all in it. It's hilarious. Well, maybe you had to go to a unviersity where Political Correctness reached a fever pitch. If you did, you'll probably like this movie.

ChrisT Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 hmmm never heard of it. I've been enthralled lately by a little movie called Whale Rider - makes me cry and we've also been watching Mr. Madonna's films such as Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Stefan Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Pink Flamingos. I can't get enough of that movie. Definitely a hidden gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Six String Samurai - what's not to like about a post apocalyptic movie with a scuzzy Buddy Holly lookalike with a samurai sword sheathed in his guitar, fighting his way across the desert to try and succeed Elvis as the King Of Las Vegas? Just saw Straight To Hell, Alex Cox's (Repo Man) 1987 shoddy masterpiece starring The Pogues, Joe Strummer, Courtney Love, Dennis Hopper, Elvis Costello, and several of the folks from Repo Man (Oly, The Mad Scientist, Kevin the fry cook, and Dick Rude) in a muddled story about bank robbers gone awry in a desert town overrun by incestous coffee addicts. Tonight's treat will be "End of the Century: story of The Ramones." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I used to have the Straight to Hell soundtrack. It had a couple good songs on it - one by Joe Strummer called "Evil Darling" I liked a lot. The movie's terrible, though! Movies I've seen several times and could watch again: The Holy Mountain, Leon/The Professional (right on, knotzen), Point Break, Night on Earth, Spinal Tap...

Dru Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Chinese Ghost Story I and II Repo Man is good, but my favorite Alex Cox movie is "Death and The Compass". You wouldn't think you could make a feature film out of a Borges short story, but you can if you're Cox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehead Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I skip watching the movies anymore. All the good shizzle's in the trailers. Through a Scanner Darkly 'A Scanner Darkly is set in suburban Orange County, California in a future where America has lost the war on drugs. When one reluctant undercover cop is ordered to start spying on his friends, he is launched on a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode. It is a cautionary tale of drug use based on the novel by Philip K. Dick and his own experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I just watched DownFall, the German-made movie about the last days of the Reich. Really good, surprisingly accurate, as well. (If you believe The Rise and the Fall of the Third Reich) There was a funny joke at the end when all the officers were getting drunk: "Berlin is the land of wharehouses, everyone looks around and says: "where's my house?"

nolanr Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 hmmm never heard of it. I've been enthralled lately by a little movie called Whale Rider - makes me cry and we've also been watching Mr. Madonna's films such as Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Love those flicks. Marrying the Material Girl appeared to be a bad career move, however. He cast her as the lead in some God awful movie (Swept Away or something like that?) that nobody saw and he hasn't been heard from since. Watched "Layer Cake" recently. It was directed by the producer of "Snatch" and "Lock..." after Guy Ritchie passed on it. Sorta similar w/ the whole British gangster scene, but quite different stylistically. Nobody cusses better than those lads from across the Atlantic, you have to give that to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Knotzen, nice selection! I have seen the TCTTHWHL a ton of times, excellent film, Peter Grenaway(sp?) , the only one I really didn't like of his was the Draughtman's Contract, I never got into that period. Maybe I will have to try that one again. Das Boots and The Professional are also really good too. Other good picks from the rest of you all are Snatch, Lock Stocks and Two Smoking Barrells, Repoman, and The Big Lembowski hell yeah. The ones I have seen the most are: A Clockwork Orange Rocky Horror The Wall I have seen each easily over 20 times. Still all time favorite film is Wings of Desire.

bunglehead Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Last weekend I watched this INSANE Japanese film called Hanzo The Razor It'a about a Japanese policeman in 19th century Japan, (in the capital, Edo) who tortures himself and his uh, ahem, Willy. He "forces" confessions out of women. Very very strange. Yeah.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheissami Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Yo, have any of peeps seen "If Looks Could Kill" with Richard Grieco? Absolutely classic awful eighties film that is quite possibly the most hilarious abomination of all time. I can't even find the DVD online, and I've damn near worn out the VHS copy I have. "Michael Corbin, deep cover operative for the CIA..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
