Movies: What makes and impact with you?

[McDuffies]

I like "The Adventures of Baron van Munchhausen" quite a bit.

The death guy in that movie scared the fuck out of me when I was little.
Oh, and wasn't it voted one of the worst movies of all time in a poll or something?

By idiots, maybe.


What poll are we talkin' about, anyway? I always thought most people agreed that the worst movie of all time was Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space," although, to those who know, that isn't even Ed Wood's worst movie ("Bride Of The Monster" is MUCH worse).

Personally, I think the worst movie ever made is Bill Rebane's "Monster A-Go-Go." I've seen it 3 times, and I still have no idea what happened in it.

Yes, Munchausen is a masterpiece, IMO. I like it even more probably, because of all Pythons, I like Idle the best. But you have to be a certain kind of person for it - to have your wacky side.
I guess that's the case with most of his movies. That's why I think "Brasil" is the best: it's the most universal, covers wider audience while remaining original T.G.
But I like "12 monkies" too very much. Apart from being the best Bruce-Villis-saves-the-world-SF-spectacle there is, It's masterpiece of film language. The one scene that I'll never forget: giraffes running over the bridge.

I've seen "Plan 9" and although it is awfull, I also wouldn't take it for the worst. I mean, there's so much worse things filmed meantime... the worse ones, well, I've seen I can't even remember their names.
If we're talking in terms of script, "Wild things" is near the top. Take first 45 minutes as a standard erotic thriller story, and what do you get till the rest of the movie? Laughter bursts induced by wannabe-DePalma behaviour and depressing urge to drag the film to 90 minutes.

Here's two films I reccomend, they're soo bad, they're actually fun: "Attack of ninja cheerleaders" and "Killer Barbies vs. Dracula".
I actually like watching bad movies, much more than average. And if they're bad bacause of lack of money put into them, the better.

that one film. with the mathemetician. and the rabbi. and then he STABS HIMSELF IN THE BRAIN.

yeah.

something about a mathematical formula inherent to everything. and the big computer.


and the SPIDER in the computer and it EXPLODES.

or something

what the hell was that film?

[ShineDog]

figure it out from that, the most vague and rambling discription ever, and i shall reward you with a progress cake. just like granny used to make.

If by "Fight Club" and "The Usual Suspects" you mean "Eraserhead", then yes, the ultimate mind-fuck movie.

Naked Lunch is on the same level as Eraserhead.

I always thought most people agreed that the worst movie of all time was Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space," although, to those who know, that isn't even Ed Wood's worst movie ("Bride Of The Monster" is MUCH worse).

Let me guess, you haven't seen Orgy of the Dead (written by Ed Wood), Necromania (directed by Ed Wood), The Love Feast (starring Ed Wood), or One Million AC/DC (written by Ed Wood).

I've seen most of his movies, except for the Snowbunny, Stewardess, and Cowboy ones. They get a lot worse than Bride of the Monster. BotM had a plot, and more than one location.

The song from One Million AC/DC follows thusly:
The Spear Goes in-to the Monster
The Spear Goes in-to the Monster
The Spear Goes in-to thaaa Mawwnsssttterrrrrr....
And the monster loses his mind!

I'm still looking for a copy of this 1998 Billy Zane, Christina Ricci, Jon Ritter, Ron Pearlman, Sandra Bernhardt movie based on an ED WOOD short story.

Regardless, the movie "Ed Wood" was pretty good.

I think Road to Pardition was pretty touching. I mean, I knew the kid wasn't gonna shoot the photographer, as it would have ruined the whole point of the movie, but when everything came together, it was brilliant.

I wanna see Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter. JUST because of the title.

[Okie]

I hear its good, but people complain that Jesus gets a haircut and modern clothes very early in the movie, ruining his Jesusishness.

If he were into punk, he'd look like me.

"Manos: the Hands of Fate" gets my vote for worst movie in history. It was... wow...

"Attack of the the Eye Creatures" which I also saw on mst3k was pretty bad too. (The extra "the" is not a typo on my part.)

"The Power of Christ Impales You!"

But seriously, folks, I just saw Love, Actually, and (please don't hurt me) it was incredible. One of my friends was moved to tears several times, and the sarcastic people I was watching it with actually shut up for most of it. I no longer hate people nearly as much...

Um, isn't Hugh Grant in that?

I'm sorry, but it's impossible for a movie with Hugh Grant in it to not be utterly contemptable.

[Bright spark]

Four weddings and a funeral was pretty good, I think.

[Okie]

Four weddings and a funeral reminds me of two great movies...

Harold and Maude. This 70's cult classic makes everyone laugh, and makes a lot of people cry. Its about a young man who's hobby is death.

Kissed starring Molly Parker as a necrophiliac.

[Bright spark]

They both sound really interesting

Four weddings and a funeral was pretty good, I think.

I think thats's because it was the first of his long line of cloned roles in British Rom-coms.

I mean geez, he's pretty much the same foppish twit in Notting Hill, Mickey Blue eyes and all the rest of them.
He was slightly better in Bridget Jones' diary because he was a bad guy for once.
But it was back to romantic business as usual again in love actually, but I'd really only gone to see that because Rowan Atkinson was in the title credits (Oh boy! How they lied to me! 3 lines..???). Anyway I quite enjoyed it especially forthe appearance of a popular British ensemble cast. My best bit being the innocent relationship between the porn stars John (Tim from the office) and Judy.

I'd pay money to see Hugh Grant in a war movie where he is brutaly killed by wild dogs (Julia Roberts and barbara Striesand?).

national lampoons men in white.

worst movie ever, by a very.... VERY... VERY long shot

[Chaos Cricket]

No, I'm fairly certain the worst movie in existence is an old sci-fi superhero flick called Supersonic Man. I think the thing was filmed in Italy years ago.

As an exampel of just how bad this film is: there's a scene where the heronie is being chased by the bad guys. She's driving down this road, and there's a tractor or something in the road up ahead. Supersonic Man "flies" down (it was obvious he was standing and just bent over in front of the camera for the flying effect), lifts up the tractor, and she drives under. Except in the shot of him lifting the tractor, you can see that it's obviously a cardboard cut out.

But that's not the best part. Supersonic Man sets the tractor back down, so the bad guys have to swerve off the road. They start rolling down a hill, and suddenly one of them says, "oh no!" and the car bursts into flames for no apparent reason. They didn't hit anything, not even a bump. The car just...exploded. Poorly.

We decided to turn the movie off after watching that scene a couple of times. It was just...awful.

I like that.
