MarcO Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 We just watched "One Hour Photo" last night, starring Robin Williams and it was good and creepy. A little heavy-handed at times but overall a fascinating character study of a very strange person. Pretty good, check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted May 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 I was told by a couple of people that 1 hour was kinda slow and predictable. Is that so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 "I was told by a couple of people that 1 hour was kinda slow and predictable" Go with MarcO's "fascinating character study" Alot of people told me the same thing, but they were searching too much for that ole 'movie formula' Not the greatest movie I have ever seen, but I enjoyed it as well. Its all about Robin in that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Bouche and I recently enjoyed "Welcome to Collingwood" and "Donnie Darko". We also liked the Harry Potter movies. Matrix in the theatre is a sure thing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 I watched "Standing In The Shadow of Motown" a few weeks ago and it's an amazing film with a great soundtrack. Also "A Mighty Wind" is the funniest movie currently in theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 I watched two classic and hugely influential martial arts films last week: The Iron Monkey (1992) - Donnie Yen Once Upon A Time In China (1991) - Jet Li Both films are great, if you like action/martial arts pics. See them on DVD widescreen only. Action pics ( and all movies ) really suck when they are in a pan-and-scan format. Note: both films are two of over 300 Chinese films featuring a real-life folk hero Wong Fei-hong. This man lived in the latter part of the 19th Century and died in the 1930s. Jet Li played this man in the 5 Once Upon A time In China movies. Donnie Yen plays his father in The Iron Monkey. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 quote:Originally posted by NewRider: I watched "Standing In The Shadow of Motown" a few weeks ago and it's an amazing film with a great soundtrack.Is it out on DVD yet? For the record I saw One Hour Photo a long time ago. I thought it was a really good movie, a bit dark, but interesting. I probably wouldn't watch it again, but it was definetly worth watching once. I recently saw a movie called "Interstate 60". Definetly one of the coolest movies I've seen in a long time. Sort of a comedy/adventure I guess. Lots of great cameos. I highly reccomend it! http://us.imdb.com/Title?0165832 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted May 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Excellent feedback. I've heard good things about the shadow of motown, on this board i think, and i want to see columbine too. Thanks ya'll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 I just watched "Adaptation" with Nicholas Cage and Meryl Streep - it was excellent. Brought to you by the same people who gave us "Being John Malkovich" (another highly-recommended movie). Oh, and I'll second (third?) the opinion on "One-Hour Photo". I thought it was quite good...

It'll fuck you up, just recovered from watching Donnie Darko-what a fuggin incredible flick!!! That same sorta magical feeling as Magnolia/American Beauty..But...Christ I don’t know my mouth just hung open for the last 20 minutes of it, and probably 20 minutes after too...spectacular!! I have so many film buffs for friends it's hard to surprise them with a kick ass flick...whew!, Yes Tungsten, I watched Donnie Darko last week and I still can't stop thinking about it. Buy the wide screen DVD if you have the chance. HMV has it on for $10.99!!! It's loaded with extra scenes and it even has the video for Gary Jules' remake of the Tears For Fears " Mad World " song heard at the end of the film. A fuckin' haunting and beautiful version.

Nightmare Before Christmas- # of votes 3 12. The Toxic Avenger (just the first one)- # of votes- 3 13. Omega Man (1971)- a great cult movie. It's campy and creepy at the same time... and parodied in a Simpson’s' Halloween episode called The Homega Man. Charlton Hesston’s fashion sense in this movie is timely and thus funny. - # Of votes 3 14. Phantasm (1979)- A weird little horror movie that generated many stranger sequels.- # of votes 3 15. Strange Brew- Filmed partially in the hammer. Right near the hospital- # of votes 2 16. Star Wars- - debated for inclusion- # of votes 3 17.

Dark City- # of votes 2 24. Flirting with Disaster - relatively unheard of (like most of his films) Robert Altman flick starring Ben Stiller as a dude crisscrossing the country searching for his natural parents... lots of laughs (make sure you stay tuned until the end - grateful dead have a brief soundtrack appearance)- # of votes 2 25. Boondock Saints- # of votes 2 26. Pootie Tang...Watatai in the Sepatow, n, biddy tine tinny, tone ponie, all that good shit- # of votes 2 27. Akira- anime- # of votes 2 28.

Drugstore cowboys- # of votes 2 31. Goin' Down the Road (1970). Also parodied in a SCTV skit with John Candy and Joe Flaherty. Famous repeated line: Let's go to Yonge Street. Woooo .- # of votes 2 32. Run Lola Run- inclusion was debated- run Lola run is also fantastic, but its like a hand-me-down European movie...there are so many as good if not better floatin' around there... blah.... # of votes 2 33. Office Space- good and funny (and true), # of votes 2 34. Waking Life- # of votes 2 35. Blade Runner -The Director's Cut- # of votes 2 36.

Anything by Michael Moore- Roger and Me, bowling for columbine- # of votes 2 40. Baraka- # of votes 2 41. Dog Soldiers- this film is about British soldiers on a training mission in Scotland that unfortunately stumble across some evil activity . A huge hit in Britain last year, this movie went straight to DVD in North America this year. It's a lot of fun, with good acting, writing and directing, considering the budget. Any movie that's inspired by The Evil Dead can't be bad. And one character is named Private Bruce Campbell!! = # Of votes 2 42. A Boy and His Dog to the list. Don’t be afraid of the fact Don Johnson is the lead, its actually one hell of a B-movie. A Boy and His Dog is a wicked flick, I love the Harlan Ellison short it's based on too-I also ransacked the movie for a bunch of wicked voice samples for a drum and bass song....e.v.i.l!!!- # Of votes 2 43. Texas Chainsaw Massacre- # of votes 2 44. Spinal Tap - Something new every time, the dvd has plenty more to add on top of the original flick.- #of votes 2 45.

Woody Allen's- Sleeper- but inclusion debated at same time- # of votes 2 53. Woody Allen's but inclusion debated at same time -everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask- # of votes 2 54. Blue Velvet- # of votes 2 55. Re-Animator (1985)- H.P. Lovecraft short-story that is as fun as it is gory., any HP Lovecraft (like the Dunwich Horror... the Evil Dead series is loosely based on the lovecraftian ethos)- # of votes 2 56. Dog day afternoon-I’m starting my own cult for this one- # of votes 2 57. Disney’s the black hole (that maximillan robot was worse than the t1000), re-released on dvd, with the deleted scenes of Ernest Borgnine naked- # of votes 2 58. Children of the Corn, The first one was great and pretty creepy, but then they made about seven sequels that got worse and worse as they went along! I had to rent them all just out of loyalty, creepy Malachi- # of votes 2 59. Ghost World (2001)- Fantastic movie that didn't fare too well at the box-office. It would make a great double-bill with Donnie Darko: both films are what I consider to be great anti-high school movies. 60. Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)- Stars The Evil Dead's Bruce Campbell. This film should get released in 2003 so check your local listings. It's about a 70-year-old Elvis battling a soul-sucking mummy in an old folks home. It's fucking great! I saw it at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival. All early reviews have been great too. Directed by same director of Phantasm series. 61. The Ice Storm (1997) -This Ang Lee movie should have been recognized by Oscar that year. I thought it was the best film of 1997. Not a cult budget or cast, but it didn't get any recognition at the box-office, although critics loved it.- inclusion was questioned 62. Bonnaroo DVD vol1- music cult 63. A Head's Tale- music cult 64. Hall Hartley and 65. Wim Wenders Films- Until the end of the World 66. Atom Eygons films- The Sweethereafter, etc 67. Princess Mononoke- anime- Inclusion was debated 68. Clerks 69. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Un-Cut.- animation 70. Iron Giant (1999).- anime 71. Bittersweet Motel- music cult 72. Yor, Hunter From The Future (dinosaurs, barbarians, AND robots and laser guns!) 73. The Legend Of The Rollerblade Seven (truly the most bizzare B-movie I've ever seen) 74. Requiem for a Dream. Crazy 75. Graveyard of the fireflies- anime 76. Barabarella-Jane Fonda is totally objectified by her husband director throughout the movie and she just entrancing. I must admit her youthful movie career was such radical opposites when she started doing all those arts films in France with that guy can't think of his name, godat, Goddard 77. The Thin Blue Line 78. Ring Starr cave man movie 79. 2001 80. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. 81. Darkman 82. Reservoir Dogs 83. The Beach. 84. Enter The Dragon 85. Superfly 86. Dark City 87. Any Cronenberg movie 88. Any Roger Corman movie (the epitome of cult movie directors). 89. The Shawshank Redemption 90. Living In Oblivion (1995) - Starring Steve Buscemi, Catherine Keener, Dermot Mulroney & James LeGros. This is one funny satire of behind-the-scenes film-making.- Note: If you watch this movie, keep in mind that James LeGros's character, Chad Palomino, is really Brad Pitt. The director of Living In Oblivion based this movie on his experiences when he directed Pitt's movie: Johnny Suede - which is a cult movie too. When you know this, you will enjoy the movie on a completely different level. Pitt's a real loon! 91. Soylent Green 92. Gummo 93. Pi 94. The Crow 95. Duel - bad truck driver you never see... great low budget action / suspense 96. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (70s version) - just because I like seeing hobo Jerry Garcia playing his banjo 97. Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels 98. Crash 99. Still Crazy 100. Four Rooms 101. Easy Rider 102. Electra Glide in Blue-something that was a similar time and was a motorcycle cop out in the desert in the 60's.... 103. The President's Analyst an awesome 60's film examining the conspiracy mentality of the time 104. La Femme Nikita- French 105. Betty Blue-French 106. Delicatessen- French 107. The City of Lost Children- French 108. Party-Peter Sellers....Birdie Num nums 109. Ghostbusters - always makes me laugh- (inclusion was debated) 110. Dazed and Confused That's what I like about them high school girls. I get older, they stay the same age Wooderson 111. Fist of the Northstar- amine 112. Ninja Scroll- amine 113. Caddyshack (not really cult but) 114. Mystery Science Theatre 3000 the Movie 115. Dead Alive is zombiefreakingtastic! It's got tons of gore done re-animator style, also has the best line from a preacher: I kick ass for the Lord! 116. Santo-the Mexican wrestler/Lawyer...has to be seen to be believed...uh, Danger Diabolik, it's like if the producers of 60's Batman made a James Bond movie!! 117. <<<>>>>>>>>>>>> 118. Last man on Earth with Vincent Price as the lead or read the book it’s based on I am Legend by Richard Matheson. 119. The Abominable Dr. Phibes isn’t a bad B-movie 120. Specter 121. Starship Troopers 122. Xena movie.- Future cult fav 123. Basket Case 124. George A. Romero directed movies, especially the original Night Of The Living Dead (1968). 125. 9th Configuration 126. Texas Chain Saw Massacre Part 2 127. Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii- music cult 128. Killing Zoë 129. Dolemite, The Human Tornadoe 130. Being John Malkovich 131. Videodrome 132. Raising Arizona (funny, funny) 133. Apocalypse now! 134. Light years 135. Backside to the future (now that's good porn) 136. Weekend at Bernie’s (dead guys hitting buoys...can you get any funnier?) 137. Dead zone 138. Serpico 139. Marathon man infinity) bridge too far!! 140. Eating Raoul - Shit-hole diner is threatened with closure by health inspector. Owners kill health inspector, put him in stew. Diner suddenly becomes popular, as stew tastes so good. 141. Hitchcock's Rope 142. Animal house 143. This is spinal tap 144. Maximum Overdrive, great flick 145. The Adventures of Mark Twain that I saw in 1994. It is Claymation, and the characters are Twain, Tom Sawyer, Huck, etc. And they are going to meet Halley's Comet with a space ship that looks like a wooden sea ship. (Twain was born with Halley's Comet present, and died when it returned, I think). There was one memorable scene where some evil invisible man is in a mirror. An amazing, way out there movie, that is very obscure. I only know 2 other people that have seen it. If anyone knows how to get a copy, please say so 146. Below , David Twohy’s. Straight to video this week: Twohy is the writer behind Pitch Black and the screenwriter of The Fugitive. Below is about a WWII submarine that may or may be not haunted, it stars Canadian Bruce Greenwood too. It got good reviews so I'm renting it this week. 147. Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out Of Balance (1983) 148. Powwaqatsi: Life in Transformation (1988) 149. Naqoyqatsi: Life As War (2002). 150. Gambling, Gods & LSD: Travels Between Heaven & Earth (2002) 151. Logan's Run is worth checking out. Interesting futuristic ideas, and everyone is killed at age 30! 152. Battlestar Galactica 153. The Last Starfighter 154. Battle Beyond The Stars 155. . The Planet Of The Apes (1968) is my favorite movie of all time, but I'm not sure if it's a cult movie - but it did spawn a cult-like following in a way - certainly some of it's cheapo sequels are cult-like. But the original POTAs was expensive to make, and quite commercially successful and marketed and it had an A cast and director. 156. Gargoyles also has a pretty good cult following. I’ve only seen it on TV but its probably on video. Scared the crap out of me as a child but its pretty funny to watch as an adult (well I'm almost an adult). 157. River’s edge 158. My own private Idaho 159. The god's must be crazy 160. Stop making sense (in college in the 80's we would drive an hour and half to Chicago dozens of times to see this movie)- music cult 161. Ladyhawke (in Paris, you could always find this fabulous little movie that I consider one of my favorites, in smoky little theaters, playing to Goth crowds) 162. Amazon Women on the Moon 163. The Rutles 164. <<<<<>>>>> 165. Manos : Hands Of Fate 166. Eegah! 167. Complete works of Coleman Francis, but entirely for the riffs 168. FUBAR will definitely fit this category. It's a Canadian movie that takes Strange Brew to another level. I was rolling with laughter during a few scenes of this documentary/comedy. Definitely a must see! It should be in the new release section of a video store near you! Look carefully though because there will probably only be one or two copies! If you don't laugh your ass off at this movie backbacon will pay your rental fees. 169. So I married an axe murderer 170. Westworld 171. True Romance 172. M*A*S*H 173. Slap Shot 174. Pink Floyd - The Wall- music cult 175. Thx 1138 176. Silent running (Bruce Dern rox 177. Ferris Bueller 178. Fell to earth (starring some pale dude) 179. Martian chronicles (I don’t know if this was a movie per se... I just remember the made for TV short series about it and it freaked me out 180. Jesus Christ superstar 181. Anything Monty python (particularly the one about the holy grail) 182. Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory...oompah loompah, baby 183. Snoopy 184. Don't tell mom the babysitter's dead. 185.
