Are there any movies that you like that make your friends and family question your taste and/or sanity?

None of my friends seems to understand why I like 'A Fish Calle Wanda'.

But more troubling is the way they look at me when I laugh myself senseless watching 'Top Secret!' God, I love that movie! It was the epitome of silliness in film. :)

A fish called Wanda, really you know people that don't laugh at that?

Top Secret was a fantastic film, as was Robin Hood- Men in tights, and Mel's History of the world..., and of course The Princess Bride.

BTW, one of my friends was in Top Secret.

Cool. :)

'A Fish Calle Wanda'? Was that the one with John Clees and Jamie Lee Curti? :p

Yeah, it was very funny. Not that confusing really.

There are films you have to watch a few times to understand, like Memento and Donnie Darko.

Then again, I'd say I don't "get" the comedy of Vince Vaughn and that group of actors, I just find it very crass. Some of my friends don't get the appeal of Star Wars, yet I could make references from it in conversation all day and love rewatching them (mostly the older 3, the newer ones were pretty but shallow).

Little Johnny and the Repeated Modulation of Multiple Reimennian Manifolds Through Multidimensional Wormholes Triggered By The Lancaster-Oppenheimer Response to the Three-Body Problem.

Even I don't get that.

Sword of the Valiant:The Tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Pure, unadulterated camp with bizarre humor and an inspiring yet slightly off key soundtrack. What's not to love?

"I punched a bloke in the face once for saying Hawk the Slayer was rubbish."
"Good for you."
"Thanks. But you're missing the point, Tim! I was defending the fantasy genre with terminal intensity... what I should've said was 'Dad, you're right, but let's give Krull a try, and we'll discuss it later."

Ice Pirates.
Nobody gets that, I know, but I loved that film since I was about 8 years old...

Fight Club. I find that to be some of the best acting and plot even made. Also, I love Jumaji. My parents find Fight Club repulsive but i love it.

Fight Club. I find that to be some of the best acting and plot even made. Also, I love Jumaji. My parents find Fight Club repulsive but i love it.

Fight club is an excellent film, and the acting was top notch. My wife didn't go much on it though. When I asked her why not, she told me that she got bored with it, and turned if off about 20 mins from the end.

I could only slap feebly at my forehead while I explained that these 20 mins, made the film.

The Last Legion. I love it because it's so hillariously bad. It's just bizare. Needless to say most other people to get this epitome of utter incompetence.

300 was great, a little camp, but great anyway.

I actually found someone on New Year's Eve who didn't think Clue was funny. :eek::confused: We almost kicked him out of the party.

Escape From L.A.; watching Huckabee campaign gave me an urge to immediately watch that movie again.

Ice Pirates.

*Gives you space herpes*

I love that movie! :D

Anime, Me and my brother are the only ones that like it

Anime, Me and my brother are the only ones that like it

YOu'll find a lot of people here who like it, and on the internet in general. In my circle of friends, I seem to be the one that doesn't get anime. *shrug* Nobody's perfect, I guess. :p

Top Secret was a fantastic film, as was Robin Hood- Men in tights, and Mel's History of the world..., and of course The Princess Bride.

BTW, one of my friends was in Top Secret.

Aha, well I know the guy who choreographed the "I'm not left handed either" fight sequence from The Princess Bride.

Tenuous claims to fame FTW!

Barton Fink. My friends don't like it, I do. One I understand why he doesn't like it, it's not his thing. But another friend of mine, I think he doesn't like it because he's a little too much like Barton for comfort...

Ahhhh classic! I got around to reading the book a while back, it was well worth it.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.

I watched that and I felt violated,... in a good way though.

The campy end title sequence gave me goose bumps and churns my stomach.

Re-animator. Everything you could want in a cheesy horror movie. Zombies, English accents, a blond receiving oral sex from a severed head...

No horror movie since has ever topped it for sheer silliness. Sadly, this includes its sequel. Although I'm still glad they made it just so I'd stop waiting for it.

I watched that and I felt violated,... in a good way though.

The campy end title sequence gave me goose bumps and churns my stomach.

I hated the ending. Not that I remember what happened to the characters, but it said that there was going to be a sequel.

For camp monster movie, nothing beats "Night of the Living Dead". A great quote
from the boyfriend, now zombie,
"I love you Tina, That's why you have to let me eat your live brains!"

Omega Man. The Charlton Heston version.

Except for Fight Club (which I haven't seen) and Jumanji (to which I said "meh"), I like (= get?) all the movies mentioned so far. It's lonely but better out here on the cutting edge. :)

I don't have too many movies that I get but people I know don't get, because all my friends are out here on the edge with me.

Well, a friend of mine really liked exploitation movies like Caligula and Elsa: She-Wolf of the SS.

Now those are the kind of movies I don't get... 'cept for the erotic parts.

Very few people understand why I like End of Evangelion.

I love Buckaroo Banzai. I still quote lines from it in everyday conversation (and all my friends get it). ;)

EDIT: THIS IS TRUTH: I read a movie review once in which a movie critic for the New York Times claimed categorically that Dr. Emilio Lizardo was the best performance John Lithgow ever gave. (It was a review of one of Lithgow's other movies; I can't remember which, but does it really matter?) :)

I actually know only one other person who, like me, kinda gets The Trial. All others who have seen it were completely bewildered. http://imdb.com/title/tt0108388/

I don't get anime either :confused:

I need your friends. I got blank looks from my friends when I asserted that Jägermeister is "evil, pure and simple from the Eighth Dimension!"

Omega Man. The Charlton Heston version.

With movies like Omega Man, or some of my favorites like the German-Yugoslavian epic Battle Beyond The Sun and the Doug McClure classic Warlords of Atlantis, people think we like them because we think they are good -- and truly those people do not "get" those movies at all.

THERE ARE NO... PHONES... RINGING!

And yes, you're absolutely correct.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.

One of the most underrated movies ever! The immersion is incredible! I'm only sorry they went with Robocop as a franchise instead of this.

I can't stand the sound of the wire clippers in that one scene...

hmm... my contribution? Jack Frost (http://imdb.com/title/tt0116671/).

everyone says it's a campy film... THAT'S THE POINT!!! it's supposed to be campy!

another one is "Big Trouble in Little China (http://imdb.com/title/tt0090728/)". not everyone knows that the movie's main character (Jack Burton) was the sidekick and his friend (Wang Chi) is the 'hero' of the film.

I got this certain weakness for campiness featuring Kurt Russel, which developed into weakness for the Metal Gear series.

By the hey, you guys watched AVP: Requiem yet?

Oh yes,... Ilsa, thank you for that.

/agree on the Kurt Russell camp (the Escape From movies) and yesh I've seen AVP2. You could tell right away which one was the "Ripley" character, but it still surprised me when they cut the cheesecake :( This is turning into a very interesting expansion of the Alien franchise.

actually, the AVP franchise has been going on for a long time in the comics.

haven't seen AVP2 yet... is it in the future or set in modern times?

EDIT: read the synopsys of the movie on IMDB...

hoookay... sounds interesting... ;)

Almost everything that ever appeared on Mystery Science Theater is material no one gets.

Well films i didn't really get were "Donnie Darko", or "Red Dragon", the one i really don't get is "Resiviour dogs" loads of people i know say it's great but it's really pointless, and it's really short and it's backward and you don't get to see the bank shootout.
Another wierd one but slightly better than them would be "Memento". Some better ones would be "starship troopers" if only for the wooden characters that make me laugh or "matrix" just for the running up walls thing.

The Gods Must be Crazy. Great, intelligent slapstick.

CARNOSAUR!!!! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=J38vPbB4X0Y)

CARNOSAUR!!!! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=J38vPbB4X0Y)

you monster.:D reminds of "land of the lost"

I like the older comedies by chaplin or laurel and hardy, a lot of people find those boring. Many people also dislike old horror movies, but I like those, very bad special effects, bad acting, bad plot, they have everything.

The Gods Must be Crazy. Great, intelligent slapstick.

I remember seeing that as a kid, it was hilarious then. I don't know how I would react now.

Yeah, I didn't really get donnie darko either. Memento is a fantastic film though and I think reservoir dogs was very good too, but that one's a little bit in the back of my memory.

Bedknobs & Broomsticks?

Or what about David Lynch’s Dune? I get quite some stick for that.

“I punched a bloke in the face once for saying Hawk the Slayer was rubbish.”

Spaced rocks.

Barton Fink. My friends don’t like it, I do.
But it’s a classic Coen Bros. film!

Plus, John Goodman and John Turturro; what’s not to like?

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.

BIGBOOTAY! TAY! TAY!

LOL! While NotLD is indeed a classic, you (mis)quote is from "Return of the Living Dead".

The proper quote is: "See? You made me hurt myself again! I broke my hand off completely at the wrist this time, Tina! But that's okay, Darlin', because I love you, and that's why you have to let me EAT YOUR BRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIINS!" ;)

Classics both.

As for the film I love that nobody seems to get, that'd be "Pink Floyd The Wall". I can't count how many people have told me "You have to be on drugs to understand that movie!" :rolleyes:

Grosse Pointe Blank

I know some people who don't really get it but I loves it!



They all have husbands and wives and children and houses and dogs, and, you know, they've all made themselves a part of something and they can talk about what they do. What am I gonna say? "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?"

LOL! While NotLD is indeed a classic, you (mis)quote is from “Return of the Living Dead”.
And Night of the Living Dead is hardly camp; it’s freakin’ scary! The B&W film stock, the mournful landscapes, the house... and that ending.

I have a friend who doesn't get the Big Lebowski. He just doesn't find it funny at all.

And I know plenty of people who don't know what I see in Gattaca. Ok, it's not a great film, but it is very good. Philistines.

That has the best use of narrative music/score ever. When he drives up to his former home and finds out it's a convenience store, the score is blaring Live and Let Die, when he walks in the muzak is Live and Let Die. Awesome.

it's pretty much always the other way round with me. my friends love stuff that i think is appalling. mostly because i don't see the point in liking things ironically, i don't usually the get the "so bad it's good" sort of idea. recent ones have been High School Musical and my friends got all excited about a poster for National Treasure 2 cuz they loved the first one. also i never liked Napoleon Dynamite, it was terrible although i'm assured by loads of people that this one is genuinely good and not ironic at all. just seemed like laughing at retards to me, although i did like the scene with the dance, difference being i thought it was pretty good and everyone else thought his dancing was hysterically awful.

With the final scene I think you get it more than your friends do. It's out of place, but it's supposed to be good, that really is the joke there. It has no business being good, so it becomes funny that it is.

...

Keep in mind that once you explain a joke it's no longer funny...

That was a fucking awful film.

You, and your friend, should definitely check out the original film that Tom Cruise’s monstrosity was loosely based on: Okami yo rakujitsu o kire (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0123129/), known as Wolf, Chop the Setting Sun!.

It’s a far superior film, portraying the samurai classes as realistic, three-dimensional feudal lords, with all the accompanying hardship and oppression they dole out on their serfs. A huge step away from Cruise’s idealised, whitewashed vision of ‘noble’ samurai.

Well my friend compared utilitarian theory to a film "last of the samauri" for his philosophy essay, he got an A.

And Night of the Living Dead is hardly camp; it’s freakin’ scary! The B&W film stock, the mournful landscapes, the house... and that ending.

The original 1968 version is scary, the 1990 Tom Savini colour remake is incredibly camp (the one where the heroine points out you can just walk around the zombies).

Alot of peoople I know don't get Shoot 'em up... come on, the greatest sex scene in a movie ever AND the moment where you realize he has to go to the gun factory. Priceless.

None of my friends seems to understand why I like 'A Fish Calle Wanda'.

Anyone who visited me in the year 1988 (when I bought a VCR) had to see this movie. All of them are still thankful :).

Along with Star Wars, my brothers and I have a thing about certain games and films, another one being Drive (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116147/).

Very few people understand why I like End of Evangelion.

I've had that same problem with pretty much all of Akira.

Clever! I really like that film.

My wife loves Big Fish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_fish), but I just think it's really tedious. That's one I definitely don't get.

I love Withnail & I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withnail_%26_I), but I know quite a few people who just think it's stupid.

I've never, and I mean NEVER understood anything ever made by David Lynch. Especially Lost Highway. I had friends in college who repeatedly tried to get me to like that film along with the incomprehensible horseshit known as Twin Peaks. I was inwardly thinkin that they didn't get it either, but they were too afraid of looking uncool to ever admit it. Tarantino's films piss me off, too. It's like we're being punished for not being cool enough to get obscure references to things that aren't really all that good (Grindhouse). Pulp Fiction was entertaining, at least, but everything else he's done is fanboy/shock-value pandering.

If it takes more than a few sentences to explain a scene, it's pretentious crap. What he did to Dune? Almost a tragedy. He managed to express the spirituality of the world, though, and I believe if there was a way to somehow cross-breed Lynch's effort with the Sci-Fi Channel's work (almost too dry and ignored a lot of the spirituality), we'd finally have a good film version of the book.

That said, I get a lot of head scratching when I show Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles or Trey Parker and Matt Stone's hilarious Cannibal! The Musical.

:(

That saddens me. Twin Peaks is one of the best TV shows ever made IMO. Though I can understand people just not liking Lynch’s stuff; it’s amazing TP was ever granted an airing date, never mind a second season

Any man who campaigns for his lead actress’s Oscar nomination by sitting on Sunset Blvd. with a cow is cool in my books:

What he did to Dune?
He turned it into a camp classic, and was hampered by film execs, bosses and studios all the way. Lynch himself is distinctly unhappy with the theatrical cut of the film; he’d shot about 9 hours of footage.

Still, I love the film. It’s the one I like that no-one else ‘gets’.

Sorry about Lynch, but I've had too much of acquaintences trying to shove him down my throat. If I want weird, I'll watch Raising Arizona, Red Rock West, or Brazil again.

I like the left wing journalist/unbiased press scene myself. :D

What about the assistant director's "saving" of the live network broadcast with his showstopping number, "Sodomy"?

It’s very good; though it splits people. Written by some talented people, including the brilliant Stewart Lee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Lee).

Basically God, Jesus, Satan, Adam and Eve and a few other characters go on Jerry Springer. Fun ensues.

Sorry about Lynch, but I’ve had too much of acquaintences trying to shove him down my throat.
I know the feeling, and I sympathise. Hopefully you’ll catch a Lynch film one day without realising what it is. :p

If I want weird, I’ll watch Raising Arizona, Red Rock West, or Brazil again.
All fantastic films, especially Brazil.

Isn't there a coitus interruptus camouflaged as a Latin prayer somewhere?:D

I believe there is. That whole scene floors me -- they take this long, ominous walk to the chamber and go in, leaving the POV in the hallway to move to a lightbulb. The lights brown out as the chair is electrified, and an orchestral sting underscores the execution. The camera switches to inside the room where one of the two guards walking Nick to the chamber sits in the chair, electrocuted. Nick was forced to watch, and is shown recoiling in horror.

Completely unexpected and brilliant.

I've made a monty python copy-cat movie with one of my friends that doesn't make sense to anyone, but it is funny to us.:D

Does that count?:p

Completely unexpected and brilliant.
Zucker&Zucker&MoreZucker. Sweeeeeet!

What about the assistant director's "saving" of the live network broadcast with his showstopping number, "Sodomy"?

Upfreakinroarious.

Sodomy, you make think it rather odd of me....


The bloke rolling around with his head up his bum always makes me giggle too. :p

'Porky's'. The Original. Often imitated, never duplicated.

*nod*

Edit: In fact, I credit the movie(which I saw when I was quite young) with being a factor in my future personality development. :)

…and Mel's History of the world...

The humour in that that movie was so forced. :p
Don't kill me.

I actually found someone on New Year's Eve who didn't think Clue was funny. :eek::confused: We almost kicked him out of the party.

Almost? ALMOST!

I'm NOT shouting!

sorry... I was contemplating the immortal words of Socrates who said... "I drank what?"

Yes, but as Marcel Marceau once said, "......................................................................."

I love Delicatessen (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101700/). My family and friends think I am sick, but they have never watched it.

Well films i didn't really get were "Donnie Darko", or "Red Dragon", the one i really don't get is "Resiviour dogs" loads of people i know say it's great but it's really pointless, and it's really short and it's backward and you don't get to see the bank shootout.


Not a big fan of Red Dragon (or the original), but I love Donnie Darko. If you own it, try watching it again, and this time thinking about it as a superhero movie... it's philosophically quite sweet too.

Reservoir Dogs is my favourite Tarantino project, evn now, after the Kill Bill films. It's not that it's backwards, it's that the story is unfolding by being told in reverse, kind of - as each player tries to lay the blame elsewhere. And - not seeing the bankjob is kind of the point - it's supposed to be so confused, no one really knows what's going on, and the heist itself is not really important to the story.

Or what about David Lynch’s Dune? I get quite some stick for that.


I love that movie. I don't care if anyone else likes it. It's one of very few movies I own more than one copy of. :D

"The Godmonster of Indian Flats."

Grosse Pointe Blank

I know some people who don't really get it but I loves it!

I love it, too. Best grand finale fire-fight ever.

I love that movie. I don’t care if anyone else likes it. It’s one of very few movies I own more than one copy of. :D
*high fives*

I had a copy as a kid, taped off of TV; used to watch the film most weeks. It’s just such a epic, gothic-yet-camp adventure.

I'm quite a fan of "Johnny Dangerously": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087507/

No one else seems to get it. :(

I love Roman Moroni... "I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel: You lousy corksuckers. You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes... like yourselves".

I had a copy as a kid, taped off of TV; used to watch the film most weeks. It’s just such a epic, gothic-yet-camp adventure.

It has something that the rest of the attempts have completely failed to capture - a real feeling of difference between the main factions. The sci-fi product makes it aesthetic... like fashion choices, but Lynch's Baron is industrial, grimy and grim. And the cast is just heaven-sent.

Recently, Paprika. I saw it with a friend at the Melbourne Film Festival last year and was totally hooked within 2 minutes. My friend couldn't see what the fuss was about. This is one movie that plays with your brain. I bought the DVD as soon as it came out and showed it to some rels and their friends, including some anime fans. All I can say was... they were polite about it.

In the past, El Topo. My then girlfriend and I just about split up over it.

Loved Top Secret. "Dead? Let me know if there's any change in his condition." Favourite scene: the "Swedish" bookshop.

"Excuse me, but, why do they call you 'Meat'?"

Don't kill me.

Perhaps in places, but not nearly as forced or telegraphed as every film he made after that one. History of the World, Part I was the last good Mel Brooks film. I remember groaning at much of Spaceballs (to be fair, not all of it -- "You idiots! You've captured their stunt doubles!"), and I laughed out loud at only three gags in Robin Hood: ]Men In Tights -- you could see those jokes coming miles away. And don't get me started on Life Stinks or Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Oh, for the genius of The Producers.

I love it, too. Best grand finale fire-fight ever.

I LOVE that movie, cheesy as it is.

Instructional film: "Never let anything come between your testicles and you!"

Newspaper headline: ROMAN MORONI DEPORTED TO SWEDEN -- claims he's not from there.

Loved Top Secret. "Dead? Let me know if there's any change in his condition."

East German Stasi: "We found your friend impaled on this device (holds up the remains of a gift Nick had gven to his agent on the train ride into East Germany -- a power drill handle with a latex fist attached to the business end of it in box, with a Leave-It-To-Beaver couple on the cover in 50s rapture...the box is emblazoned with the label "The Anal Intruder"). Apparently he was unaware of the difference in voltage between your country and ours. Our surgeons did their best, but it took them three hours to pry the smile from his face."

Can I add one more aspect to this thread? Isn't it the height of cool to run into people you share favorites with and one or two of them haven't seen a move that the rest of you agrees is canonical? Showing one of these favorites to someone, especially a potential mate, is almost -- almost -- a test of worthiness. If she's not cracking up at a Zucker film, she might not be Intangible material.

Well, the only Brooks films I've seen are Young Frankenstein, The Producers, and History of the World, Part I. Perhaps my standards haven't been lowered enough yet.

There's a scene where the East Germans and the freedom fighters are brawling in a room and Deja Vu (Haven't we met before?) kills all the Germans with a machine gun. It's been ripped off by Peter Jackson in King Kong but somehow isn't as funny as the original.

Okay. See Robin Hood: Men in Tights and follow it up with Blazing Saddles. Note the dates of both films and tell me if you think Mel's later work is on par with his early work.

I might watch Blazing Saddles. Based on your previous post, I'd rather not see Robin Hood.

The gag there is that Chocolate Mousse (Deja Vu is the guy who dives on the grenade, blowing the fighters around him up instead of himself...God, I'm a geek) just sweeps the machine gun indiscriminiately across the room, but manages to only kill Germans.

AGREED! The movies were a pale imitation.

Drebin: Officers, take her and book her. (Introduces the officers to the perp) Officer Taker, Officer Booker.

Edward Scissorhands. It's revolting.

So wait -- this is a movie you DON'T like that other people DO, or DON'T? I'm confused.:confused:

Edward Scissorhands. It's revolting.

I have a friend who doesn't get the Big Lebowski. He just doesn't find it funny at all.

And I know plenty of people who don't know what I see in Gattaca. Ok, it's not a great film, but it is very good. Philistines.

Both great films...I really dig Gattaca, I think it probably came out ten years too soon, actually.

Pfff...I did tons of papers on movies for college...




...


of course, I was a film major...







I'll go...

I lol'ed. :)



The Directors Cut of Kingdom of Heaven (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320661/) is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Also...none of my friends seem to like it, but I loved The Life Aquatic (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362270/)

12 Monkeys (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114746/), Pitch Black (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134847/), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100758/) all come to mind as well.

Agreed on Kingdom, Pitch Black and 12 Monkeys. You're on your own with the shellback ninjas.

"I'm a locksmith… and I'm a locksmith."

Laughing heartily!

The freezes that aren't quite frozen at the end of the show, or the use of the ridiculously tall officer whose head you never see:

Drebin: You've got some jelly on your face from that donut...

...a huge glob of red donut filling falls from up-off-camera onto the desk.

I'm a sucker for a good sight gag.

Agreed on Kingdom, Pitch Black and 12 Monkeys.

Kingdom especially...the Directors Cut is easily ten times better than the theatrcial release. It's about 40 minutes longer, but SO much more is covered.


You're on your own with the shellback ninjas.

The sequels sucked, but watch the first one again if you get the chance...it really seems like the first "comic book" movie that not only actually felt like the comic, but also didn't totally suck.

Baby steps. :p

I'm a sucker for a good sight gag.

I love the backdrops. The Leaning Tower, the Colosseum…

*holds up a big ass gun* "It shoots through schools!"

The only line in movie history that gets more offensive as time goes by. :)

Erik the Viking is a film that a lot of my freinds and family don't get.

*holds up a big ass gun* "It shoots through schools!"

No no no.. "I hope you get raped" from Donny Darko is the most offensive line ever.

No no no.. "I hope you get raped" from Donny Darko is the most offensive line ever.

Yeah, but that started out offensive. "It shoots through schools" was dark humor in the early eighties, but now, it's really over the top. *nod* I quote it a lot.

People 'get' Lebowski nowadays, but I swear I was one of the first on that bandwagon. :p

Probably others too, but it's late.

I undestood that movie -- I just didn't think it was funny. Buscemi is the only guy who makes me laugh, as I know to many Bridges-like burnouts and Goodman is just plain loud.

Eh. Maybe it's funnier if you live around L.A. I dunno. So much of it just reminded me of the previous weekend. :p

No one's mentioned the Tremors series yet?:eek: I get a lot of blank stares for those movies. Gotta love giant carnivorous earthworms.

What about the other 3? It just gets better and better (or worse if you like).

I also feel an uncontrollable urge to post this from 'Airplane!'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbgwWXTwICc

:D

What about the other 3? It just gets better and better (or worse if you like).

Eh. I think I liked the second. The third I don't recall and the last (the one with the theme park opening, right?) I don't think I got through.

Eh. I think I liked the second. The third I don't recall and the last (the one with the theme park opening, right?) I don't think I got through.

The most recent Tremors movie was the one set in the late 1880s. The second one ended with 2 of the characters planning to open a theme park and was set in Mexico. The third one is set in the original town which has become a tourist trap with a Graboid adventure similar to Disneyland's jungle cruise.

I swear, with the amount of useless knowledge I have I could write a very pointless encyclopedia.

If no one really "Gets" Donnie Darko you should watch it another oh say.... 3 or four times and then go get the directors cut. It has special scenes that actually show pages from the book explaining what is happening to him. Also some of the deleted scenes are a MAJOR help because they tell you directly rather than imply what is really going on.

For example, the first time he meets Frank the Bunny, he says "God loves all his children" it's up to you what that implies about the rest of the movie ;-)

The entire Evil Dead series. Some people like Army of Darkness, but you have to watch the build up or what's the point.

And, of course, The Big Lebowski. How can anyone not love that movie, but so many people look at me like I'm nuts when I'm giggling at John Goodman talking about getting a little toe.

I love silly or strange films if they are actually doing something rather than simply trying to do things no one else would do. Some movies it seems try too hard to make things seem silly. But good silly just comes naturally. For example, have you seen Deck the Halls. My favorite silly moment is when he gets caught stealing the paper and then steals his coffee too. Classic.

Johnny Dangerously? How could I forget Johnny Dangerously? I LOVE that movie. I need to show that to my nephews. I'll be disowned by their parents, but it's a crime they've not seen it.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. My favorite movie of all time. Most people I tell that too look at me like I have spam coming out my ears. And Young Frankenstein. Nobody in my general area seems to understand what I find so funny about that movie. Which I really can't understand. Classic funny movie and I can't find one person I know personally who liked it. :headbang:

Babbetes Feast

I love it...everyone else I knows thinks I'm mad because of it.

Well not just that...there are other reasons but for the moment this will do.

I was on my way to Calais...had been driving all day from southern Germany. Took me 11 hours (including a 2 hour ferry journey) to get to London...not bad...until I got lost and ended up in Luxembourg for some reason...that took a while to sort out. I think I took a left instead of a right in Belgium...

Anyway.

Yes. Mad.

Are there any movies that you like that make your friends and family question your taste and/or sanity?

None of my friends seems to understand why I like 'A Fish Calle Wanda'.

But more troubling is the way they look at me when I laugh myself senseless watching 'Top Secret!' God, I love that movie! It was the epitome of silliness in film. :)

It's no problem, really ... after i:

*say it's part of my rehabilitation for them to watch it with me and perhaps read the novelisations/pop-up books/online blogs/TVinfotainment media coverage to me
*constantly use snippets from them in conversation <.< >.>
*cut & paste them into their slide shows and powerpoint presentations
*start calling them by names of characters in the movies
*break out occasionally into certain parts from said movies, often with cheap props


BTW, nice choices. I was just watching 3:1 To Yuma, and couldn't help the image of Nigel after the bull mounted him at a certain point. Again, everyone else at my table was subjected to the image, thanks to me.
:p

Again, i yell "Ass-HOLE" every now and again, if the occasion fits. :)

To actually ANSWER ...
Eating Raoul
Heathers
Brain Donors
Naked Lunch
Videodrome
The Man With Two Brains

...given enough time and "treatment", they see it somewhat my way now.
Sure there's more.

I love it, too. Best grand finale fire-fight ever.

That was grand.

I really liked the hallway fight to the death. It seemed a hell of a lot more realistic that most movie fights.

OH! Pumpkin. Phenomenal movie, but if you don't get, kind of stupid.

That was a good movie -- more for it's message than its humor, but it was funny, too. It cemented my opinion of Christina Ricci as a very good actor.

I'll never understand how Police Squad! was cancelled.

it was too big for television. to many things going on that people actually needed to sit down and WATCH it.

most people to have the tv on but watch while doing other things.

so they miss things like
They'll hear "he had a piece of every boxer in town" and not see the closet in the back that holds various body parts.

They'll hear about "The Club Flamingo" but most often miss the sign of a well tailored man hitting a Flamingo with a club.

the all night wicker store and miss people carrying out wicker tv's, hat racks, stoves, etc...

or how the telephone line gets crossed across the room... twice!

and the captions...
"Act II
Ghensutite."

and the verbal jokes went fast.

"She told me to meet her at the Club right away... I told her I didn't know where the Club RightAWay was and instead suggested the Club Flamingo... she agreed."

"There's been a wave of fashion models being found naked and unconcious in the city's laundromats... I, however, was assigned to Savings and Loan robberies. I was across town having my laundry done when I got a call..."

Det. Frank Drebin: Wait a minute, let me get this straight: Twice came in and shot the teller and Jim Fell.
Sally Decker: No, he only shot the teller, Jim Johnson. Fell is ill.
Det. Frank Drebin: Okay, then after he shot the teller, you shot Twice.
Sally Decker: No, I only shot once.
Capt. Ed Hocken: Twice is the hold up man.
Sally Decker: Then I guess I did shoot Twice.

Det. Frank Drebin: Well, who fired twice?
Sally Decker: Once!
Capt. Ed Hocken: He's the owner of the tire company, Frank.

"Married, one child. that didn't work out so he devorced her and married a grown woman."

Freddy got Fingered, everyone says its bad but then I watched it and realized that its a classic comedy film

snip of comedy greatness

Ahh, Police Squad....love it :)

Do you think the Naked Gun films are as good as the TV series?

Ahh, Police Squad....love it :)

Do you think the Naked Gun films are as good as the TV series?

The movie were just the series set to the big screen. if you seen the series then you've seen 80% of the gags on in the movie.

and I like the actors of Ed and Nordberg in the series better.

This is one movie I don't get and I don't think I'll ever get. Napoleon Dynamite I watched the entire movie and after it was over I was like "That was supposed to be a comedy, really, really?......Good night.....

I can't stand the sound of the wire clippers in that one scene...

hmm... my contribution? Jack Frost (http://imdb.com/title/tt0116671/).

everyone says it's a campy film... THAT'S THE POINT!!! it's supposed to be campy!

OOOh.

Every time I see "Jack Frost" in the TV listings I get excited. Then I get a little disappointed when I realize that it's Jack Frost (http://imdb.com/title/tt0141109/), not Jack Frost (http://imdb.com/title/tt0116671).

Lol i have that film it is very good, very surreal and hilarious, i like the part where he burns down a rich guys apartment, and the piece of paper he reads starts the fire, i don't recall if it's the same film but it's very well made.

I DO have the series it's amazing, it's like a legal form of drugs, leaves you craving for more eating up your time but you keep laughing and doing it again. :p
I remember the one where this guy hypnotises people then tries to kill the Queen, and Frank Drebin is desperately trying to find a gun in the baseball game!:D:D
Did they ever make any other films? I have three naked guns, i think that's all but i wouldn't complain if there were more

"Out of the way, we have no brakes!"

Good selection.
