Bukowski has been dead for nearly ten years so I doubt he could have compared the two films.
:fuckyou:
:D

Yes, I do remember Bukowski criticising Rourke in Barfly.

But I later saw an interview with him in which he praised it as being perfect and such an accurate portrayal of him that it took him back to those days.

perhaps Bukowski's viewpoint wavered, depending on how much he'd had to drink that day.
:D

Not in any particular order..

Ferris Buellers Day Off
Forrest Gump
Big
Wayne's World I
Wayne's World II
War Games
American Splendor
Something, ANYTHING with Selma Blair in it
Night of the Living Dead (1990)
The Goonies
The Rutles
Spinal Tap
Dog Day Afternoon
War of the Worlds (the shame)
The Blues Scale
Die Hard III
Revenge of the Nerds
Return of the Jedi
Raiders of the Lost Ark

I should have put that in my 'honourable mentions', as it's an excellent film. I'll edit a little.

Another Al Pacino film I would place in my top twenty is Looking for Richard, but as it is mostly documentary in style I wasn't sure if I counted it as a 'film' as such. It is without question the best introduction to Shakespeare.

* The Land Before Time
* The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure
* The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving
* The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists
* The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island
* The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock
* The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire
* The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze
* The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water
* The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration
* The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses
* The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers

Rebel without a cause is one of my favorites too.

Fuck yeah. I used to watch those all the time. My friend Katie had a lunchbox.

I loved those damn movies. I still have all the vhs'.

Littlefoot. Possible band name!?!

The BAND before time. Huh? Huh?

My memories from the Big Red One are quite remote.
It seemed really quiet, which was kinda strange for a war movie; but it was more a film about people who had found a way of keeping their sanity during rough times, if I'm not completely off topic.
Quiet and luminous.
To see this one and Apocalypse Now in a row would make you think.

Huh, I've never had any trouble with that. It seems like the cruddiness sort of lends to what Linkletter was doing, but it could be remastered o.k., if they left the background noise, but separated it better.

I remember fondly being in line for the world premiere of Dazed and Confused in Seattle at the Neptune theater. It was like being in Slacker listening to all these hardcore Linkletter fans talking to each other.

I wasn't talking about the comparison between to two films. But you already knew that, didn't ya?

In no real order:

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
I Hart Huckabees
Donnie Darko
Pride and Prejiduce (the new one with kiera knightly before she was a pirates of the carribean whore and while she was actually considered a respected actress)
The Lost Boys
The Matrix
Monty Python and The Holy Grail
Clerks
The Lion King
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Se7en
SLC Punk
Sin City
Moulin Rouge
William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
Thirteen
Chicago
Cruel Intentions
Saw
Secret Window.

(Shit in bold are in my top 5)

So....did they all die in the end?:(:):confused:

[Have you seen Kevin Smith's other movies?]

(I love this movie.)

kevin smith rocks, have you seen his question and answer thing at some school K-krack? where he talks about his time with jon peters and writing the Superman script?

Is that An Evening With Kevin Smith 2? I've only seen the first one, which is fucking hilarious.

im not sure if it was on 'An evening with..' but its on you tube and goes for about 15 minutes, then there is the one where he goes on about Tim Burton, its so funny.

Yeah... J&SBSB is my favorite though. In order of favortism I've seen:

1) Jay and Silent Bob...
2) Clerks
3) Dogma
4) Clerks 2
5) Mall Rats
6) Chasing Amy

I feel bad for the chasing Amy movie because I was expecting something similiar to the first three on my list, but it really wasn't like anything he'd done before.

i only have one

hell, you don't have to drop acid to be freaked out by this movie. Just turn off the lights late at night and try watching it all alone.

I ccouldnt agree more. i thought it was an awesome film and can watch it so much, just like gerry.
