“how could i forget clerks and caddyshack!”

“They've gone to PLAID.”

“space balls i love it”

“Modern Times - Charlie Chaplin”

“Nat. lampoon's christmas vacation

That was way too much like our family one year.”

“"Johnny Stechinno" w/ Roberto Benigni. You have to read subtitles but it's worth it. Trust me.”

“remember I'm Canadian and a teacher. Try 'Teachers' with Nick Knolti, also 'So, I Married an Axe Murderer' with Mike Myers and 'Canadian Bacon' with (I believe) John Candy. ALSO (for the really weird) 'Eric the Viking' with John Cleese (you need to watch it a couple of times. NOT TO MENTION 'Wanda' also with John Cleese.

Enjoy.”

“Man, I forgot that one!
I'm going to rent it!”

“Ok, it never made it to the big screem, but it was a funny flic.”

“laqtis, glad to see someone else is a fan of Big Trouble in Little China.

Also, from the good ol' days of sketch-comedy films, Kentucky Fried Movie.”

“the love scene from star wars episode II”

“Anybody ever seen After Hours? It's a dark comedy by Martin Scorsese with Griffin Dunne and Rosanna Arquette. Hilarious, but you have to like strange stuff.”

“And the whole neighborhood was chasing him... That was great.”

“I read somewhere that Scorsese made Griffin Dunne agree to abstain from sex for a few weeks before and all during filming so he'd have that "desperate" thing down....”

“Did switchback actually post? Holy Toledo, where has he been?”

“I'd have to concour on all the Python films, Holy Grail leading the pack. Also Spinal Tap, Caddyshack, Dr Strangelove, Big Labowski, .

I'd add...

Oh Brother where Art Thou?
Young Frankenstein
Fargo
Clerks
The Blues Brothers
Groundhog Day

“I thought Snatch was a porn flick...”

“Arsenic and Old Lace
Dr. Strangelove

Oh my God! Tilt and I agree on something. I'm gonna go puke.



Liquid Sky?...LIQUID SKY? Tinkledrinker you definitely have a warped sense of humor. I would list that under the most BIZZARE movies I've ever seen.

Liquid Sky
Eraserhead
Nakid Lunch

Now THAT would be a film fest.”

“whadafuh?? arclite posting on something other than the football thread??

whoaaaaaaaaa”

“I'll agree with most of the above and need to add:

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Night Shift
Hollywood Knights”

“M*A*S*H”

“You wear it well.

Puke, that is.”

“Bottle Rocket

Here's a weird one, but funny: Morphine. I beleive it's Steve martin's latest. I never recall it being in the theatres but it's on the new release shelf.”

“that can't catch me, because I'm f'in innocent man!”

“A Clockwork Orange would fall under bizarre movies, good movie though.
What did anyone think about Eyes Wide Shut”

“Ewker, Kubrick brilliantly cast Tom Cruise as a shallow, naive, ignorant young man who finds himself in way over his head -- you know, type casting.

Like any Kubrick film, Eyes Wide Shut requires multiple viewings to get a full sense of what Kubrick was exploring -- which seems very appropriate for a film that takes a voyeuristic stance on sexuality.”

“Sorry for the double post -- my computer said it wasn't making a link the first try -- so I stopped it and resubmitted, but apparently at the same time it finally went through (with a slight modification).

Speaking of funny, though, my wife got me to watch Space Ghost on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network last night. Now that was a hoot.”

“Life of Brian,
Funny Farm,
Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss,
Harry and the Hendersons,
The Burbs,

Those are all the older ones I can think of right now that haven't been mentioned.

I saw Ghost Ship and although my roommate thought it was the stupidest movie ever, I though it was quite good. It perfectly matched the "Texas Chainsaw Masacre, Friday the 13th, Pumpkin head, ect" genre.

One of the best movies I've seen in a while is Pitch Black. Kinda strange, almost kafkaesque, but still quite good. I think that was the movie that made Vin Diesel.”

“Right-o, Pekka. When I saw who they had cast in "Interview with a Vampire," it was a dark day.

I wonder if someone saved some nifty outtakes for a "2001" DVD?”

“I think Eyes Wide Shut was a total piece of crap.”

“It was like rich people's snob porn. They had to justify the voyeurism w/ some kind of twisted, hard to follow story.”

“Believe it or not, it was actually based on a book. I don't know if the book had all the sex in it, but it was based on some old novel.”

“Well, I'm sure the book was better than the movie. I'd rather read the book, then watch Tom Cruise fumble around like a weirdo at a sex party!”

“EWS was a weird one, alright. i really liked the spooky, creepy, twisted parts...but basically, i ended up feeling like it was much ado about nothing (or at least not much). the Much Ado part was awesome, and fun to watch, but then...blah. i bet the main reason for that was that Kubrik's and Speilberg's styles do not exactly mesh, LOL! what a bizarre pairing that was.

or, a very real possibility is, i just don't get the movie at all...”

“I think it's just another example of the "Emperor has no clothes" syndrome. Stanley Kubrick was a highly regarded director, so he felt he could make anything and people would say it was good because, well, if you say Kubrick is bad, then obviously you have no taste. Let's face it, the movie was bad, regardless of how you feel about highly-stylized porn. There may have been some good parts, but by and large, it sucked.”

“I'm pretty hostile about that movie. For some reason I just hated it, maybe I'm like you Lyra, it was just too much and I don't get it. But there are plenty of other movies I didn't get or didn't get much of and I didn't feel some much wrath about them.”

“Well said Bit.”

“close your eyes and go to your Nice Place, newgirl...
;-)
well, i guess hating it is more interesting than being indifferent...”

“Ever seen "Mulholland Drive", newgirl? I'd be interested in your take on that film.”

“Ah... Kubrick & Spielberg... how about the robot gigolo in AI?

That was One Funny Guy.

What was the song that played whenever he jerked his head to the side?”

“I haven't yet Bit. I remember some kind of discussion on here about it though. I should see it.”

“Do not speak the seven-word activation code unless you mean it.”

“oh, was AI the one that Speilberg finished?? ooookay, so i'm totally mistaken! i thought it was EWS...bummer.”

“ooooooooooh... I just remembered another Forgotten Classic:

The Loved One (1965)


Tagline: "The motion picture with something to offend everyone!"”

“"Mulholland Drive" is a David Lynch movie, so it's very strange. I dunno if I liked it so much as I enjoyed trying to figure it out, lol....”

“Yeah... that's be a BLAST! LOLOL

"The Spielberg Cut of 'Eyes Wide Shut'"

ROF!”
