I've seen bit and pieces of it, but for some reason never the whole thing. And isn't there a Pulp song in the soundtrack?

i see a few people listing "the hangover". there must be something wrong
with me since that seems to be the most hysterical movie in recent history
and i didn't really laugh during the whole film at all.

altho i must admit that i did chuckle a lot during mr chow's scenes. that
guy is funny.

I saw it on the plane, so I'm sure they cut lots of it out, but I did find myself laughing quite a bit. But then, I was drunk as well. confused

omg, I LOVE that movie. No one I know has even seen it. falloff

I keep hearing my friends talk about this movie and I have never seen it. Who's in it and what's it about? hmmm


It was a totally missed coming of age movie from the late-ish 90's. Like, we were probably just a little too old to be watching teen movies then (which I think is why no one I know has ever seen it).

But it's got Lauren Ambrose and Seth Green and I don't know who the main character (a guy) is, and Jennifer Love Hewitt (who I hate, but she was fine for the role) and the guy who goes on to play Rico in Six Feet Under and Ugly Betty's boyfriend for a season. Matthew Sweet did the music, I think.

Oh ok. Yeah, I keep hearing about it from my friends at work who are all much younger than I am. lol

Oh yeah sis, love your list nod even though I ADORE All About Eve, I thought it was abit unfair to bill Gloria Swanson in her comeback moment against Oscars darling Ms.Bette Davis. Love SB.

I can't even count how many times I watched that one when I was in my teens.
I saw it first on TV in '97 (luckily the original version - NOT edited for content). Luckily I taped it and I watched that tape so much that even to this day I can almost recite the entire dialogue line-for-line from that film.

Thank ya!


I kept typing and thinking Bette Davis film(s) is going to show up on my list, my mother would be sooooo appalled. lol I love "All About Eve" the dialogue/screenplay for that move was perfect.

"Bill's thirty-two. He looks thirty-two. He looked if five years ago, he'll
look it twenty years from now. I hate men
"


I agree Davis should've been award the Oscar for her performance, I love S.B. and Gloria Swanson (with her crazy ass) but Davis was robbed.
