My buddies conned me into going to some foreign love story film last year and I hated every last moment of it. I spent the majority of the movie glaring at my friends and throwing popcorn at them. I figured if I had to be tortured for 90 minutes, they could be too. It's so good to know I'm not the only sick twisted female perv in existence. Have any of you seen "Best in Show" directed by Christopher Guest? That's another one of my favorites.
Two of my favorite obscure or lesser known movies are "Donnie Darko" and "May"... Donnie Darko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia May (film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Donnie Darko has become somewhat more known because of the later fame of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal. . . .
Donnie Darko was good! Ali...get the the movie The Cook, The Thief, The wife and her lover....it's Italian and fukking wickedly disgusting...no spoilers. Amelie was cute and funny....Like Water for Chocolate is romantic but hilarious, Diabolique is gooooood...it was remade, but the original is better, La Femme Nikita, Run Lola Run (german), and the motorcycle diaries was good too (Brazilian). There are lots...I'm not much of a romantic either Pan's Labyrinthe was really good too (Spanish)...kind of a grim fairytale...not for kids. The Orphanage by the same maker (also Spanish) is a horror flick..it was good too.
Speaking of wretched 'chick flicks' - I had to suffer through the Jane Austen book club a few weeks ago. The only thing good about it was the hot guys. And as for the Ya Ya Sisterhood = worst film ever. I have no idea who the crazy women are that actually like these movies.
hehehe. Did you ever see that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine hated The English Patient and in the end she skips it to see 'Sack Lunch'? I so would have chosen Sack Lunch, too.
Bath tub or hot tub/jacuzzi? I don't have any complaints about the later but would agree that the former is overrated.
LOL - I fell asleep at Ya Ya Sisterhood. My son's grandmother dragged me to that. I hated it. I also couldn't get through the Jane Austen book club for more than 10 minutes. Becoming Jane is a good movie though. Where is Phantom our romantic movie buff?
Best in show was hilarious! Only because I went to a dog show once....and they are REALLY like that. It could have been a fukking documentary.
