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.

Snatch will forever be a classic.

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.

You need to reconsider, Jim. Trust me, a fella like you will appreciate the depth of the underlying story.

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.

:lol: :lol: I was afraid of that.

 

I was going by my friends taste...which seems to be quite poor except for a couple of them.

I thought Mystery Men was hysterical. Great example of absurdist humor, and a great role for Tom Waits.

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

That movie defined teenage girl fashion for the entire decade of the 80's.

Wet Hot American Summer. One of those high-brow, NPR crowd type movies.

[Getslow]

^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.

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!

You're right; I got my Sheen's mixed up.

 

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."
