[Bob]

we did this in college now and then, we'd have a movie marathon that started at like 11, ended sometime past midnight, and we'd be drinking the whole time. the ones i remember (12 hours of drinking is a lot, ok?) are

star wars (self explanatory...just the 3 real ones though)

arnold schwartzenegger movies (again, pretty self explanatory)

superhero movies (the recent marvel comics ones mostly, but we also watched that silly batman one, where he punches a shark)

i think there may have been more but i dont know how my liver survived them.

oh, and is red dawn really sci fi? that's a movie we all love (mostly for swayze...say it with me: swaaaayzee...you're getting it), but i dunno...i see the fi, but where's the sci?

Eithere way, "Sin City" comes out on DVD August 16th. Yay! :)

I like how you quickly assumed I have seen nothing of any value, and prejudged me like so many other weak people have. Goodnight.

[adam_f]

I saw Out of Sight for Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle, Ving Rhames, Dennis Farina, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson. My hatred for sie Clooney couldn't prevent me from seeing that.

My friends and I imagine film festivals for minor character actors.

GRACE ZABRISKIE FILM FESTIVAL -- Ms. Zabriskie specializes in white trash moms!

Officer and a Gentleman
Norma Rae
The Big Easy
Drugstore Cowboy
Twin Peaks
My Own Private Idaho
And Susan's mom on Seinfeld (where she stretched and played an upper class mom)

[Documad]

MICHAEL SCHOEFFLING FILM FESTIVAL -- specializes in cute dumb love interests!

Sixteen Candles
Vision Quest
Mermaids
Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken

[Loppfessor]

Vision Quest



Yesssss!!

[Nuzzolese]

Ha! Was he Mathew Modine's love interest in Vision Quest? I guess he dumped him when he met Linda Fiorentino.

[Nuzzolese]

Young/Old Relationship Movies
Ghost World
My First Mister
Harold and Maude
Welcome to the Dollhouse

They all have a similar concept, but the stories are quite different and neither is a clone of the other, IMO. Old doesn't necessarily mean 80, but just older for the young person. I haven't seen much of these films, so add any if you like.

Also Leon and Lost in Translation and How Stella Got her Groove Back (I know you love that last one)

Why Welcome to the Dollhouse? She had a crush on an older boy but there was no relationship.

[adam_f]

Holy Moses! Is that Jesus!

The Last Temptation of Christ
Dogma (in buddy form)
The Passion



I'll Shawshank YOUR REDEMPTION!

9 1/2 Weeks
Angel Heart
Basic Instinct

[TAL]

Holy Moses! Is that Jesus!

The Last Temptation of Christ
Dogma (in buddy form)
The Passion

Life Of Brian

[Nuzzolese]

I actually debated whether or not to add Dollhouse. I decided to add it because there was some sort of relationship, but not your typical one. Plus it was more one-sided. Still there though, but that's my opinion.

It's one of my favorite movies.

[zippo]

yea its good

[jabumbo]

Holy Moses! Is that Jesus!

The Last Temptation of Christ
Dogma (in buddy form)
The Passion

I KNOW for a fact that you watch The Ten Commandments at least once a year

[Jodry]

I think I got a good category, but I got no movies to fill it with. I'll leave it to you guys.

Bad timing...
