Van Helsing is coming on TV in quarter of an hour, so from what I hear I may have a new one to list in a couple of hours, odds are on the least favourite list.

Ten I like a lot:

The Shop Around the Corner (Lubitsch)
The Lady Eve (Sturges)
Rope (Hitchcock)
Band of Outsiders (Godard)
Goodfellas (Scorsese)
Barton Fink (Coen)
Dazed and Confused (Linklater)
Chungking Express (Wong Kar-Wai)
Goodbye South Goodbye (Hou Hsiao-Hsien)
Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World (Weir)

It seems I have completely skipped over the '70s and '80s - but those were ten that came to mind.

Tommy left me both un-high and un-dry.

Probably my favorite musical, except for maybe "Spinal Tap".

― o. nate (onate), Saturday, 16 July 2005 18:04 (eighteen years ago) link

it's my fave without question.

Judy Garland effortlessly rules over the earth, air, and sea. Is there any other musical in which she comes close to that performance?

why all the hate for fight club, doom generation, mulholland drive and american beauty?!?

― nathalie's body's designed for two (stevie nixed), Saturday, 16 July 2005 18:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I would replace Mulholland Dr. with The Story Of Us on my list because Mulholland Dr has a really great lesbian titty scene

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 16 July 2005 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Van Helsing would certainly be among the worst films I've ever seen, but I doubt that I will keep watching - Big Brother on in a bit, y'know... VH particularly has some deeply painful acting - Wolverine's fine, but Dracula is plumbing depths rarely approached, admittedly with the help of the worst dialogue anyone's been handed since Ed Wood's heyday.

i understand the fight club hate, but i put it number 1 anyway; just a big film for me personally, and a kind of totem i guess for intelligent populist modern cinema. the others are shit, though.

― n_RQ, Saturday, 16 July 2005 19:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I love Mulholland Dr., Fight Club is OK, American Beauty isn't a bad film (which makes it easier to dislike, I think - bad films are bad films, dislikable are another category) but yeah, Doom Generation is a steaming pile of shit.

I didn't think Van Helsing was any worse than your average comic-book movie (better than either Spidey or the X-Men films). Bad but not inconceivably bad.

haha yeah fucking up a wagon

― 007 (thoia), Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:20 (eighteen years ago) link

i dunno i saw it and laughed a couple times but its so cutesy/smarmy and the "intelligent teen movie" is a bad genre overall except for election and maybe clueless

― 3, Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:23 (eighteen years ago) link

exactly re genre, id totally give clueless a pass tho. way before election i think

― 007 (thoia), Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:26 (eighteen years ago) link

dude bruno aren't those all straub-huillet movies?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:27 (eighteen years ago) link

i wasnt sure if it counted tho

― 3, Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:28 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost, i mean clueless

― 3, Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:28 (eighteen years ago) link

what about heckerlings apartment remake LOSER with biggs & suvari reunited!!! love that one but its a lil too smarty pants sometimes

― 3, Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:29 (eighteen years ago) link

xp oh i see, yeah! plus a woman director! its kind of too warm, in a gd way, so many wrinkled noses, clueless

― 007 (thoia), Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:30 (eighteen years ago) link

i need to see loser again, i dont remember any of it, cept maybe suvari is esp cute and less otherworldly? less american beauty i probably mean. heckerling did european vacation holy shit

― 007 (thoia), Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:33 (eighteen years ago) link

dan savage's defense of road trip was great

― demonlolver (gcannon), Saturday, 16 July 2005 21:39 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah. everything i know i learned from straub.
what do you think of them, amateurist ?

― --bruno, Saturday, 16 July 2005 22:18 (eighteen years ago) link

this is really 2 difft threads huh

― 3, Saturday, 16 July 2005 22:20 (eighteen years ago) link

i know the bare bones of carmen jones, i just havent seen it.
i was hoping it might the passolini, but i suspected it would be the powell.
its weird, i admire the desire for emotional cathasris as a legit love for film, and that you dont love melodrama for the fashionable reasons.

― anthony, Saturday, 16 July 2005 22:21 (eighteen years ago) link

pasolini is so great, and sad but i just realised ive seen almost none of his shit, mamma roma is so nice esp when its comedy, im starting to understand ppl saying those period italian films are kind of superior, just so dressed, vaguely dusty period pieces
