Recommend me a movie and tell me why I should watch it - Page 3

the best/worst ed wood film = orgy of the dead.

the "novel"/script is credited to him, but the directing isn't... but some believe the director's name is just a pseudonym for wood, because all of wood's actors (criswell, ghoulina or whatever her name is, etc) appear in it..

anyway.. check it out..

Sonic Youth 37 · 07.27.2007, 10:44 PM

Little Miss Sunshine (it's been mentioned already)
The Squid and the Whale
Leon: The Profressional (or whatever it's called where you're from)

I've seen clips of it in the movie "Ed Wood: Look Back in Angora." It looked positively awful.

To my recollection I've seen Plan 9, Glen or Glenda, and Bride of the Monster.

atsonicpark · 07.27.2007, 11:40 PM

haha, i actually own every ed wood film, except his soft core porn(s?)... i'm not sure if orgy of the dead counts in there as a soft corn porn.. so yeah.

he's one of my heroes actually.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 07.29.2007, 11:18 PM

Oh my God, Tetsuo Iron Man is the best movie ever.

I actually thought it a rather bore. SO self-absorbed in its own plot. But if you want porn, go for it.

I found it really human and honest. But yeh, I guess I just am immune to porno and didnt notice it so much.

Prisstina · 07.30.2007, 08:37 AM

HOT FUZZ.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 07.30.2007, 01:36 PM

You know what movie sucked? Screamers.

You know what movie was awesome? Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy

atsonicpark · 07.30.2007, 04:56 PM

I'm not sure how anyone could find Tetsuo BORING. Dislike it, maybe, but BORING? I mean it's only like 60 minutes for christ sakes..

Anyway, a movie I forgot to mention.. and we're slowly backing away from cyberpunk here, so I will go ahead.. WILD ZERO.

Kallisti23chaos · 07.30.2007, 05:00 PM

"The Holy Mountain"
"El Topo"

Disgruntled Youth · 07.30.2007, 05:04 PM

The Education of Sonny Carson

It's about a kid growing up in NY gang life circa 1970's. It was sampled by Ghostface on IronMan & has a great message.

atsonicpark · 07.30.2007, 05:43 PM

el topo is my favorite film of all time.

el duderino · 07.30.2007, 08:35 PM

yeah, just ordered that Alejandro Jodorowsky box set and Space Is The Place. Saw Holy Mountain a long time ago and quickly became the wierdest and best thing I've ever seen! but wait to check out El Topo!

My advice is to get into a new genre/director and start exploring all the best titles. Last year I went through a big noir period - started with The Maltese Falcon and went right up to Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. Good times for all involved.

atsonicpark · 07.30.2007, 09:54 PM

yeah, the holy mountain is technically better, but i prefer el topo because it focuses on one person... Holy Mountain has a lot of the same ideas and it's more visually amazing and better in every way... it just... I dunno. El Topo seems to speak to my heart more.

TheDom · 07.30.2007, 10:15 PM

Manos: The Hands Of Fate

or Taxi Driver

not really what you're asking for but whatev

atsonicpark · 07.30.2007, 10:21 PM

taxi driver is my OTHER favorite film of all time and the film i've seen more than any other.

manos is also amazing. get the non-mst3k version. it's a very very creepy film. the jazz soundtrack and the lighting of the seconds and the just overall disconnectedness of the whole thing is overwhelmingly dark...

Everyneurotic · 07.30.2007, 10:23 PM

i probably like fando y lis better, santa sangre is also fantastic, so are the other too, i need to see el topo again.

atsonicpark · 07.30.2007, 10:26 PM

Fando is excellent.. beautifully abstract.. Santa is weird, I like it a lot, but... it actually may be his weirdest film... I'm not exactly sure what message it's trying to convey... still, excellent... Jodorowksy is a hero...
