September 22, 200916 yr Bubba Hotep The storyline sounds a bit goofy. Elvis is in a rest home in East Texas with a guy who thinks he is JFK. Together they try to rid the rest home of an ancient Egyptian spirit. But this movie has a deeper, sadder underlying theme about how the elderly are pushed aside and forgotten by society. I highly recommend this one. My brother has a copy of this one. I just couldn't bring myself to watch a movie with such a ridiculous-sounding name.
September 22, 200916 yr I had no idea Snatch was a little known movie! :lol: I'd have mentioned it if I did! I guess my contribution to this thread is That Thing You Do. Both are awesome. I always knew you were open-minded, RM. I like That Thing You Do also, but I really love Snatch.

September 22, 200916 yr Magnolia - PTA at his best. Stories that don't seem connected end up to be intertwined. Mulholland Drive - One girl's dream of a better life (or at least that's how I see it :lol:) Very Bad Things - The ultimate dark comedy where EVERYTHING goes wrong.

I think Magnolia and Very Bad Things are both pretty well-known.

September 23, 200916 yr Hard Times. Great Movie. Mystery Men - Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, Janeane Garofalo, William H. Macy, Kel Mitchell, Paul Reubens Gotcha - Anthony Edwards, Linda Fiorentino, Jsu Garcia

September 23, 200916 yr Valley Girl. Like, totally awesome soundtrack, including The Plimsouls, Josie Cotton, Modern English et al.

September 23, 200916 yr ^Haha. I loved Wet Hot American Summer. Last summer they did a midnight double feature of that and Ernest Goes to Camp at Baxter Avenue theatres. It was a blast.
September 23, 200916 yr One of my all time favorite movies is "Final Countdown" with Charlie Sheen. I would guess nobody remembers that one. I believe that it was Martin Sheen. When the Tomcats surprise the Zeros is an incredible moment!

And yes, that is one of my favorite parts of the movie. "They're gonna let 'em do it again!" Another favorite part: "Welcome home Mr. Laskey. Get in; we've got a lot to talk about."
