wild life - 6/10
zero - 9/10
mystery train - 6/10 h - 7/10

replicant-one of those van-damme double role films. unintentionally hilarious!

Mystery Train would've been awesome if it had focused on the Japanese tourists the whole time instead of having the other stories.

Neighbor No. 13, just watched that a few weeks ago. Decent little film. Love the Miike cameo.

10/10

that was the best part of Mystery Train. Their quest for Americana in Memphis right?

This is probably my favorite and most frequently checked thread on this board. First time contributor, long time reader:

Nothing too surprising there, I'd imagine...

I'm actually quite surprised about Freddy Got Fingered, Adam. I've never seen it, but always heard it wasn't worth seeing. The fct that it would make it on yr list makes me think I'm wrong.

It's probably the funniest mainstream film ever. Most of my favorite comedies are well below Hollywood's radar (The Corn Dog Man, Period Piece, Bride of Frank, even SPACEMAN!!! are about a BILLION times funnier than the completely contrived bullshit Hollywood releases). But finally, Freddy Got Fingered, a genuinely funny movie and even a bit surreal. I loved it. Probably the last time we'll ever see genuinely trashy, funny, surreal humor in a Hollywood film. I saw it in theaters 3 times. I still break it out with friends about once a year.

Japan Four?



Halloween H20.

milk

I was at the drive in for this and at 1am we decided to leave because we were too tired to keep watching a plotless film.

Photographically its really lovely though.

Great movie!

Good Night & Good Luck - Pretty good, at least in the style department. It was a little anti-climatic, but I have never minded that in movies, so I was fine with that.

Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest - Loved this as a kid; it's a lot cheesier now. I just wanted Sadie to see the same movies I grew up on, so I got it. It is very charged with eco-friendly messages in a way to impact kids.

The Heartbreak Kid - Standard Farrelly Brothers, standard Ben Stiller. It was funny.

The Visitor - Great movie, although, especially in the beginning, it was was very slow and melodramatic. It progessed well though, and ended up becoming very good.

I feel the same way. Ever see Chairman of the Board, with Carrottop? Totally ridiculous, but I still liked it, because at least it knew what it was, and it wasn't trying to be anything else. I think that is the case with most of those movies you mentioned, and I think that is why so many mainstream comedies fall flat; they try and become a really deep movie, and all you wanted to do was laugh a little.

Ohhh, need to check that one out!

I really like Bio-Dome too.

Yeah, I've always had an affinity for Pauly Shore movies.

hey lux, Hellraiser is on my list of 'perfect films'. I love it.

hey people watching Jarmusch films, have you seen Ghostdog yet? I like that one a lot. I'm guessing it's the reason why Tarantino recruited RZA to do the score to Kill Bill.

Ghostdog is fantastic. Jarmusch is great at taking two completely different elements and making them work together.

ghostdog is great! my favorite parts are the cartoons that always show whats going to happen next.
jarmusch is probably the only director with over 5 films that ive seen all of his movies.
i havent watched anything of his in a while
i like
stranger than paradise/down by law/dead man the best


ive been interested in seeing films by Jan Svankmajer
where should i start. i doubt that the video rental place that i go to has many films of his, but i saw that they have a collection of his short films
much obliged

Start with Little Otik. That's where I started, and I think it's perfect for getting you used to his style.

oh yeah, I wanted to see Little Otik.

Jan Svankmajer is pretty cool, yeah. I'd rate his features as such:

1. Faust
2. Alice
3. Lunacy
4. Little Otik

Never saw his new one or Conspirators of Pleasure.

Love his short films though. That's probably the way to go.

OHHHH he's the Alice director, huh? I didn't realize. yeah, I gotta see some of his stuff. It all LOOKS awesome to me.

pretty fucking good! based (loosely, the credits say) on a story by cesare pavese.

so it's far from antonioni's later adventures in the ultraworld-- this is more of a... it's almost french!

if you like dumb movies, please don't watch this. if you like a little bit of soap opera, you might give it a shot. it's not soap opera of course but there's a lot of back & forth between the characters.

Nice

rescue dawn -werner herzog-



9/10

with another ending even better.
one of the best hollywood films from a non hollywood movie maker.
great work of werner herzog
and a stunning christian bale

I saw that in the theaters because I had never even seen it advertised, and I loved it. Great movie.

Bubba Ho-Tep



Cashback.

bubba ho tep RULES

Seven Pounds. 9/10. Um saw it a while back, haven't watch many movies lately.

same for me
I never saw any advertising or something and just asked if there is a new werner herzog movie, because I remmeberred reading about it. and then there was rescue dawn.

the order-featuring some of charlton heston's best work!

wtf?

juggalo

I got myself 8MM, Sabu's "Drive", Blade II and Frankenhooker on DVD today. Which one should I watch first?

Well, Frankenhooker is by far the best of those movies, though I have a soft spot for 8MM. So, go that route.
