bro.......you must get high phucker. resevoir(is this word french or something?) dogs is a bad ass movie. tarantino needs to direct more movies. 4 rooms is just brilliantly written.
i used to get high watching the doors movie back in the day. it was a must to see it........ON WEED!!(half baked). val kilmer did a good job portraying jimbo. ...i almost rented this b-movie about jimi hendrix but the phucker playing did not even look at all like jimi. i'm kinda weird like that.

Yeah, I remember that Hendrix movie, wasn't it made for Showtime or something like that? Backbeat (about the Beatles' days in Hamburg during the early 60's) was the same for me, the guy playing Paul didn't look anything like him, and George wasn't recognizable at all. Kinda takes away from the movie.
Ever hear that song by Afroman "'Cause I got High"? Funny as hell, I like that line "I wasn't gonna run from the cops, but then I got high, I was gonna pull right over and stop, then I got high, Now I"m a paraplegic, and I know why, yeah, because I got high, 'cause I got high, 'cause I got high..." think it was at the end of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Q. Why was Russel Crowe smiling as he left Meg Ryan's house? A. He was Gladiator.

I'm kind of surprised to find so many mainstream movies in atd-i fans lists, though i guess fight club isnt a surprising choice!
anyone who vaguely cares about the issues behind songs like invalid litter should check out ken loach's film bread and roses, if you have the patience to sit through a 'serious' movie that is.
i can't think of the rest of my top-5 right now, but i really enjoyed seeing ghost world recently. thora birch could be one to watch, i think.

Ghost World was a good movie, from what I saw of it... I only seen to the middle of it, I need to see that again, I've heard a lot of good things about that movie, and from what I've seen so far, it seems like a great movie.

Being John Malkovich Mulholland drive Fight club
(theme of identity- all really great clever movies)
I watched 'Requiem For A Dream' due to your recommendation CorporateAvengers. I told my girlfriend I wanted to see it (because everyone on this board loves it), and she went out and bought the DVD. That sure is a great film. It is so beautiful, and so sad. It's a shame films like that aren't more widely recognised, while meaningless movies like 'Lord of the Rings' and 'spiderman' go winning tons of awards and rake in the $$$.

I forgot to add Vanilla Sky, that movie is awesome, and it's warped... anybody would feel like they are on a trip in that movie... Lost Highway is weird, but cool, CorporateAvengers... It's about this guy (Bill Pullman I think) and his wife (Rosanna Arquette), and their life, and then something traumatic happens, then everything gets really warped, and the girl is played by the same actress, but she's like a different person, and they live in a different house, but the guy is still the same... It's David Lynch, that guy has some serious doseage in his Wheaties, it seems

Oh, sorry about that, Corporate... I tend to get abstract sometimes. The movie itself is kinda hard to understand... you could watch the whole thing intently, and not understand it. That's David Lynch for you.

Yeah, I thought it was especially perfect how they essentially opened up the movie with "Everything in its Right Place"... that was so appropriate I can't even explain why... that move is like a visual Kid A... my favorite line... "YOU'RE NOT SOFIA" (or whatever Penelope Cruz's name was in that movie) Paul did a great job with the title song, too. I can do a killer McCartney impression, it's easier to talk like that, but when people see a 6'4'' hispanic American with Orange w/ Blonde striped hair, they look at you a little funny... a 6'4'' hispanic American with Orange and Blonde striped hair with a Liverpudian accent, they might look at you and throw things, too ;D
