Just go with what interests you and if none do then skip it. Go with your moods.

You’re being far too humble! !

I'm completely the opposite. A lot of people I see on a regular basis see "nudity" or "sex jokes" and claim those as the height of film.

My movie habit is in part down to growing up in Montreal, which has a brilliant cinematheque. I glanced at what they're showing right now, and the program for August/September features Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, The Hourglass Sanatorium, Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast and Orphée, all of Terry Gilliam, Powell and Pressburger's The Red Shoes, Chris Marker's Sans Soleil, Guy Maddin's Twilight of the Ice Nymphs, Matthew Rankin's The Twentieth Century, Jan Švankmajer's Alice, Larissa Shepitko's The Ascent and PLENTY of other classics...

It's true that with the internet you can access everything but it's a special privilege to have a cinema like that as part of your social life more or less.

While there some genially funny and fun parts to this. They do not make up for the horrible script, sub plots that go nowhere and horrible ending. The cast is great it's just to bad the script did not allow them to shine

The Toxic Avenger

I can't lie....Troma flicks are a huge part of my adolescents so it was a pleasure to see this in the theater.....plus how often do you get to see an "unrated" film in the theater?

It's incredibly stupid and it is really fun. Lots of little shout outs to earlier Toxie flicks and the Troma universe as a whole.

Toxie sings a cover of Overkill by Motorhead!

And David Yow of The Jesus Lizard steals the movie as a hobbo weirdo doctor.

I remember seeing Tromeo and Juliet on TV in the middle of the night in the very early 2000s. Loved every moment, all the gags and the gore and the naked ladies.

One scene that stuck in my mind is when Juliet waits for Tromeo to call, gets bored and horny and calls a phone sex hotline instead. A culturally important representation of the goonette, or the femgooner. Huge for teenage me.

I don't think I have watched this movie in this century :rofl:

I'm gonna try to revisit it sometime this week....it really is a classic for what it is

Easily one of the greatest films I've ever seen. When the lights went back on in the theater a few people were too traumatized to move.

As J.G. Ballard has it,

Quote:

Though the undisputed genius of popular entertainment, Hollywood has
rarely made a successful war film. The realities of war, which Americans
have totally mastered while they are awake, run counter to everything they
hold dear when they dream. The best war films ever made – Rossellini’s
Open City, the Japanese Fires on the Plain and The Burmese Harp, and the
greatest of them all, Klimov’s Come and See, about partisans fighting the
Germans in Byelorussia, are visions of desolation, meaninglessness and
despair, qualities that are true to war but do nothing for the box office.
If only I could see Open City on the big screen but unfortunately we have other plans for Saturday.
