BRAVEHEART
Easy. Ghostbusters :D
nice choice ;D
Yeah. Some great quotes - I use them a lot, especially "I'm gonna take back some of the things I said about you" when somebody does something impressive ;D
"The Godfather"
any and all porno...
easy rider.
Bottle Rocket
QuoteBottle Rocket
Heh. hi hellacious.
Rushmore. (because it's better. ;))
Hard question, but currently it's got to be Dr. Strangelove, The Fisher King, Night on Earth, Wings of Desire, Hard Eight or Boogie Nights.
big lebowski
braveheart, matrix, star wars can't decide.
Probably Goodfellas, but it's way too broad a question... lol I used to work as a critic for a few small papers before I had to grow up....
Rob Roy was better than Braveheart and The Life Acquatic was better than Bottle Rocket or Rushmore...
Let the debating begin!
Yeah, saw Bottle Rocket recently (ummm)...but I would definitely say that his other 3 films are super special.
Rushmore, Tennenbaums and Life Aquatic all play like a great record ala MMJ's It Still Moves!
I have to make the case for Bottlerocket. I'm not going to claim that it's Citizen Kane but I think it is far better Than the Life Aquatic. For those who didn't like it, watch it again with the volume up. There are a ton of "throw-away" lines and background action that are hilarious but are rarely picked up on first viewing. I might have liked it better than Royal Tennebaums but Rushmore is still the best of the Wes Anderson collection. I will close with a speech from Rushmore:
"You were born rich and you will stay rich. So here's my advice to the rest of you. Take dead aim on the richboys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember: they can buy a lot of things, but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget that. Thank you".
Down By Law by Jim Jarmusch
.Dazed and Confused or Jesus' Son
Have to go with more than one....Lost in Translation, Groundhog Day and Caddyshack....yes, all Bill Murray movies.
D.
dogandponyshow, i'd have to say that bill murray is downright hilarious with his dry wit, which can go unnoticed by those who simply don't get him.
my favorite bill murray line is from kingpin, and it's a rather small one:
while drinking tanqueray and tab at the diner, ernie mccracken turns to a lady at a booth and says, "hi... not you... hi." that just cracks me up every single time.
it probably doesn't surprise you that, according to the farrelly brothers, murray ad-libbed virtually all of his lines. something tells me that this is the case in most of his movies.
Yep. Bill Murray is the business. It's his dead pan style that makes Ghostbusters my favourite. I saw him in a film with Randy Quaid about a getaway after a robbery. I can't remember what it was called but it was really funny.
The Man Who Knew Too Little.....if you've never seen it rent it. Bill Murray rocks in it, much better than Lost in Translation.
The Man Who Knew Too Little was so awful that Bill Murray never again got a slap stick lead and totally changed his career focus to roles that were more "legitimate." While I think Lost in Translation was perhaps over hyped, suggesting The Man Who Knew Too Little was better is like saying Meet Wally Sparks was a better Dangerfield movie than Caddyshack.
Crossroads (1986)
Clerks is by far my favorite flick.That and Mothman Prophecies(freaky ass shit!)
Man I guess your good tastes in music make up for your horrible tastes in movies! hehe
I'd say Clerks is about as good as it gets for 30 grand...
Crossroads with Ralph Macchio?
Without a doubt Big Lebowski and American movie.
I have way too many favorite movies to name, but for the moment, I'll commit to Edward Scissorhands.
