| | | can we just have a totally unpretentious thread about LOVING MOVIES?
i ask only because i worry that people (sadly, myself included from time to time) have a hard time admitting that they love Mean Girls AND La Dolce Vita. i mean, at least, i have a hard time with it. people want you to be one way or the other: you have this really discerning taste or your opinions are crap. i think that so often, there's this really real medium between the two, and that in that area are people who really just love to have a story told to them through this really unique medium, and i think there's something to that...
so if this thread has to have something for people to respond to specifically, what are two seemingly unrelated and supposedly un-connectable films that you love? |

| | | I don't watch very many movies but I too liked Mean Girls haha I watched it twice...
Usual Suspects and tends to be my favorite movie, I'd consider that unconnectable with Mean Girls as mentioned above.
Thhe movies I really like are really random compared to one another. Schindler's List, Stranger Than Fiction, Little Shop Of Horrors, Harold & Kumar and Requiem For A Dream don't exactly compliment each other well... |

| | | i can. my favourite movie is ferris bueller.
people who don't understand that movie, or it's placement as my #1, have serious questions to ask themselves regarding elitism |

| | I'm pretty sure I've mentioned Herzog and Russ Meyer in the same thread. So, I dig.
Not long ago my best friend and I watched Ferris Beueller with her neices and were totaly bummed out that they didn't get it. Especially since it was made with some of our friends or schoolmates as extras in my best friend's area.

| | | ferris, russ meyer and others have all become acceptable over time. you have to like the crap that's out right now + fassbinder.
i'm downloading ishtar at the moment. can it be as bad as it's reputation or did it get a reassessment?

I haven't been the sort of person to see very many blockbuster films ever since I began going to the theatre with people aside from my parents. I don't like all "art" films. Some are crap. I had a copy of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls in the 80s.
Really new mainstream movies I liked: Stranger Than Fiction, Superbad, and I want to see Walk Tall.
I thught much of Crispin Glover's first film of his new trilogy was awful and not because it was potentially "offensive."
I love Anchorman and though I hated the Star Wars saga beyone New Hope and Empire, I did enjoy the last one. I'm always a sucker for a good teen film. And other than visual and musical impact I wasn't crazy about Marie Antoinette.

| | yeah enchanted is awesome! it's really cute and funny and clever. awesome cast too ... even if it does have patrick dempsey in it. 
the x-men movies were cool until the last one ...
batman begins is really good. spiderman 3 just sucks!!! but the first one was alright. i don't know if i would want to see it again though haha
ooh and also, enchanted has the woman who voiced ariel in the little mermaid! so you should really see it just for that.

| | | I didn't really like La Dolce Vita, but I did really like Mean Girls.
But on the subject of Fellini, one of my favorite movies is Amarcord and other one of my all-time favorites is Wayne's World.
They both contain butt jokes. This is not why I love them. Well, it's not the only reason. |

After the popularity of Wayne's World, Myers was told that he was able to work with just about anyone. In all seriousness, Myers replied that he wanted to work with Fellini.
I myself have an extensive dvd/vhs collection; everything from Raise the Red Lantern to C.H.U.D. 2. |
