Testament - 1983 film about a-bombs being dropped on the US, nuclear war and so on - centers on a woman trying to survive with her kids.

Absolutely horrifying and incredibly sad, but I think everyone should see it. Definitely gives you perspective, esp. these days...

The Cube

Oh and But I'm a Cheerleader! is great too...

I love Woody Allen movies, few have seen them here in Holland.

Christopher said:

Ummm... sorta! It has Natasha Leone, RuPaul, and Rufio (from Hook, lol) and deals with homosexuality/heterosexuality in a really funny way. You would enjoy it chops!!

YES!! I love the shit outta Freeway It just doesn't give a fuck (which is why I love Doom Generation so much), GREAT film

***

I'm not sure how much attention it got upon release (though it's getting a lot now b/c it's going to video/dvd) but I really liked Secretary

Hedwig & the Angry Inch too, did that get much attention?

Suburbia knocked me on my ass, I loved it

CalhounSq said:

it was great!... What are y'all lookin at? fuck all yall!..fuck you chipmunk face...and you're fuckin skipper wife!..

and doom generation is that the one about the couple and guy who tags along with them after they kill a minimarket worker?

Christopher said:

I like when he's in the diner (post shooting) & he's ordering... "I'll have the soup... WITH A FUCKING STRAAAW!"



There's some funny shit in that movie. Rose McGowan's lines are hilarious & Jonathan Schaech is just gorgeous. It's total camp, I love it

"Could you please pull your head out of your rectal region?!"

this thread could be called the greatest films that ellis has never seen... ...


i have never seen any of these...


...


i think i just don't watch enough movies... ...

Did anyone go and see " City Of God " ?

not the greatest, but certainly the baddest.

Natsume said:

Pam?

Are you hinting that if I press on with Chris I have some reward waiting for me at the end of the yellow brick road?

"drugstore cowboy"
"requiem for a dream"
"snuff" (just kidding this is actually a third rate brazilian slasher film that was so crappy it was unreleasable in its original form, title "slaughter". However it did start the long standing debate on whether snuff films actually exist, mainly because of sensationalist cheap publicity and an incredibly gruesome tacked on ending.)

Gummo
Meet The Feebles




... actually, their audience did find them. or they found their audience. they aren't for everyone, that's for damn sure

AaronSuperior said:

I tried to watch Gummo, I couldn't hang

meet the feeebles is nightmarish

freeway 2 is nightmarish

guys... go watch "La Cucaracha" with Eric Roberts

new one "Welcome to collinwood"

AprilMichelle said:

ufoclub said:

Just to clarify, there's Freeway & Freeway II. The first one is GREAT, the second is utter shite. UFOclub is referring to the second one

Bubble Boy

Dog Soldiers.

Werewolves, trapped soldiers, blood, guts and comedy.Fabulous!

CalhounSq said:

it is pretty painful, especially if you can see a lot of the people that you grew up around in your town in these characters

gotta be in the right frame of mind. and preferably with someone who has a sick sense of humor. it's much more enjoyable that way

Withnail and I

I wouldn't say the second one is shit, its had a lower budget, no discipline, a thousand times more pulp, but is more intense colorful and funny/perverse than the more mannered first.

CalhounSq said:

The film "Cube"

Six people placed inside an enormous well...Cube...with a twist...it is booby-trapped with killer mechanisms...all have a specific talent...but the most genuine...gets out!! Had to get that dvd...it's an intellectual thriller...I guess that speaks for the folks that have supported it...or society...

'A Thousand Acres' is a good film, underrated, and doesn't get much talk.

It also starred one of my very favorite actresses, Michelle Pfeiffer.
