indeed, i loved that aspect. I just really wished it wasn't about sex. It seemed like there was a million other directions to go. But then again it did help it keep an edgy seriousness to it, which helped it seems more off-the-wall. It wasn't crazy hijinks...it was...well you know...however it is you would describe it...
: The reason I like Malkovich so much is that it's completely off the wall. It's it's own little world and you don't have to analyize it too much to enjoy it. You just see a scene and then are like "what the fuck was that?" but are laughing at the same time because it's nuts. When I saw it, it reminded me of Very Bad Things in how crazy everyone in that movie is, (Cameron Diaz is in both on a side note).
: : I have only seen it once, but I am sure that is the only one so far that I Know would be on my list.
: :
: : I own the Malkovich DVD, but can't say its a top ten...
: :
: : I really think the first viewing and the people one sees a movie with plays the biggest role in favorites. The whole vibe of the people you are with seems to help. And you know, its not like that for anything else that I do. Usually if everyone is into it, I get turned off, but with flicks, that arent like jurassic park and just obvious crap like that.... I dunno, I mean Scream was a hoot when I saw it, the place was packed, I was the only white guy, it only cost a buck, and everyone had seen it before and knew to when to scream. I had a blast. And laughed real hard... wierd. wierd stuff.
:
: : : I would have liked to see Clerks, Mallrats, The Big Lebowski and Being John Malkovich on that. Oh yeah and Evil Dead 2.
: : :
: : : . There's Something About Mary
: : : : : 5. Monty Python And The Holy Grail
: : : : Say what? On what planet? HOLY GRAIL should be one. And FISH CALLED WANDA whould rank at least higher than BLAZING f'ing SADDLES.
: : : : : 6. American Pie
: : : : : 7. Groundhog Day
: : : : : 8. Some Like It Hot
: : : : : 9. Blazing Saddles
: : : : And AMERICAN PIE better than SOME LIKE IT HOT? Smalls, hold me. Make it g go away. And not for nothing, but SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER AND UNCUT should be up there. I mean, if AMERICAN PIE is. What do I know, I also woulda included BILLY MADISON.
