[yeahbut]

Anyone who enjoyed Gummo needs to see 'Bad Boy Bubby'. Hoo boy. 'Nuff said. 'Chopper' is an absolute classic as well. Gotta hand it to those Aussies, they have some twisted celluloid stashed away on the shelf at the back...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('hardtootell', 'G')reat flicks-IMHO

"Happiness"<- very dark humour
"three days of the condor"
"amatstat"
"the spanish prisoner"
"king of the hill"<- not the cartoon
"angellas ashes"
"lord of the rings"

I can't wait till "The Road" is released

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('HappyFace', 'I') haven't seen the movie in years. What was so good about that movie moment? (without spilling the beans of course)

American Werewolf in London

Also, How to Get Ahead in Advertising

I loved both of these movies. They're both darkly humorous.

I loved the satire in How to Get Ahead in Advertising.

A good cult film for action was "The Warriors." Very low budget, all unknown actors, very entertaining.

"Ugetsu monogatari" 1953 Beautiful, haunting Japanese ghost film by Kenzi Mizoguchi. More of an elitist film than cultic.

Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari 1919-20 My vote for best film of all time. If you haven't seen this, you're cinematically deprived.
You can watch it on internet archive (www.archive,org)

In college I saw an excellent double feature of "Freaks" (Tod Browning 1932) and "Eraserhead" (David Lynch 1977). People left the theatre vowing never ever ever to have children!

[strider3700]

how can we talk abot gummo and not mention kids. The only movie I've ever had to turn off because it was just too depressingly disturbing to watch entirely.

Also all doomer peakoilers should love deathrace 2000.

If you're into cult horror then the original Texas chainsaw massacre is amazingly brutal for the time. Also cannibal holocaust. Just remember those animal killings are brutal and real. Really unless you're fucked up or looking to desensitive yourself I'd recommend against the last one. It's just wrong.

anyone remember Gummo's occupation?

Apparently, "The Warriors" was based on this.

I found the reference here.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')inally, it was widely known back in the day that The Warriors was based on the ancient Greek nonfiction tale Anabasis, written around 370 BC by the Spartan general Xenophon (it's also published under the title The Persian Expedition). In this classic tale, a battalion of 10,000 Spartan mercenaries join the Persian emperor Cyrus for a war in Asia Minor (i.e. Turkey). Cyrus's army is defeated, the Spartan leaders are captured, and the remaining force must make their way across country, fighting various hostile tribes along the way, experiencing their own internal power struggles, until they reach the safety of the sea. I'm shocked that only one reviewer seemed to be familiar with this; in the 70s almost nobody talked about the movie without mentioning it.

Animated Flick...
