My demon lover

As a child I waited the entire week to watch "Up All Night" on the weekend. That movie is one of my many rewards.

Mouse and Son
Unico
America Pop

I can't remember the title of the movie, but there was a film that I saw on VHS when I was a kid that had paintings coming to life. All I remember was there was an old baron who lived in a castle full of paintings. He had one done of himself that he liked, and fell in love with a girl in a different painting. But the girl in the painting was in love with a boy in another painting, and every night he would swing over to her painting to be with her. Old baron painting comes to life and yells at boy stealing the girl, so the boy and girl run away. They're helped by some giant robot to escape the castle.

Those really were awesome books.

Anyhoo I will say.. the Brown Bunny.

There was a weird director named Vincent Gallo I believe, he made another movie with himself and Christina Ricci. I used to really like her, the dark hair and eyes with pale skin drive me crazy. It was called Buffalo 66 and had some small success.

He made Brown Bunny and after Roger Egbert saw it , he described it as one of the worst movies he had ever seen in his life. So I watched it and yes, it totally sucked. It was so long ago but it set off a feud between Vince and Roger. Vince called Roger something like a fat moron. And Egbert replied.. "that may be true. But when I am in Heaven, I will be beautiful. And you will still be the director of the Brown Bunny."

They were APES! ...sorry.

Chimponzees. We saw that in grade school.

either Burnt By the Sun or the Japanese Shall We Dance?

The Cavemans Valentine
The Man From Earth

Bonjour Timothy (1995)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_Timothy

Eight Days A Week. A movie where this kid camps out on the front lawn of his crushes house, played by Keri Russell.

11:14
Youth in Revolt

Both good movies

The Golden Compass

Saw it in theatres and hated it.

Project X

Seen in twice... can't believe the video rental store recommended it to a couple of pre-teens.

My list...

Weirdsville - Canadian film festival movie with Scott Speedman, Wes Bentley and Taryn Manning. Some of my favourite movie quotes.

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra - actually there's a few Larry Blamire films that would also qualify (Trail of the Screaming Forehead, The Lost Skeleton Returns Again). Hilarious movies, but pretty obscure.

The only one that comes to mind is Along came a spider, which had so many plot twists I couldn't begin to explain it even if I tried.

The Guest (2014)

A Scanner Darkly. Amazing cast. One of Keanu's best performances.

Not quite a movie, but Rose Petal Place was a weird part of my childhood.

the original time bandits, not sure I have ever met anyone IRL that has seen it.
watched it all the time as a kid.

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

I love those movies. They are like feature length versions of, "The Return of the Curse of the Creature's Ghost", the Mr Show sketch. They all have DVD commentary.

I'll add another: The Passion of Darkly Noon

Gods and Generals

Gummo

Powder
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

The American Astronaut.

When I was in my 20s my gf at the time had passes to the annual movie festival in our smallish town in Florida. We'd go to nearly every movie. Saw all kinds of weird shit, and at the end of most of the movies the director would come out and answer some questions from the audience. There was some documentary about Amish kids on rumspringa...some comedy movie about two dumb brothers who rob banks and go to jail...American Saint which was pretty meh...and the American Astronaut which I still probably think about at least once a day.

Gummo

I wish you were the only one to see Gummo.

We should devote all of our scientific minds to discovering immortality so we can make Harmony Korine immortal.

And then we should throw him into the sun for making Gummo.

Most excruciatingly dogshit footage to ever waste space on a film strip.

Slow Moe. About a kid who gets Nazi science glasses that let him be good at baseball and slow down time.

The Nines.

Ryan Reynolds is...

Something?

Good movie but it pales in comparison to the short story.

The Brother From Another Planet

I thought it was a great adaptation of the book. I remember there was a few changes that I didn't care for. Can't remember exactly what they were as its been probably at least 15 years since I've seen the movie and even longer since I read the short. But all in all I was very happy with the film.

That one Hercules movie starring the Rock

Supernova (it was terrible)

The 2-film version of Red Cliff

Powder
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Powder is an interesting movie.

Seen it, it was ok.

Older movies but definitely worth a watch imo.

Bell book and candle
Bedknobs and broomstick
I married a witch
Arsenic and Old Lace
Wuthering Heights (1939 version)
To kill a mockingbird (1962)
Jeanette Macdonald movies like New Moon, or Naughty Marietta (my dad loved her voice).

Melancholie der Engel

I know some people have seen it, but Upgrade, a movie from a few years ago is one more people should check out. It rules.

Bees make honey

I love it -- apparently I'm the only one

Also that one Rock movie with Madison Pettis. The Game Plan I think? When I was in middle school my grandparents took the whole family on a cruise and that was one of like 4 movies that was on constant replay on the ships tv.

Back when I still followed Brad Jones, he made a feature film called Paranoia and released a black and white directors cut for free.

I remember thinking it was actually pretty good if some of the goofy acting is ignored.

Hiding Out
Near Dark

Death to Smoochy.

Not so much now as it's gained a bit of a cult classic status, but back when it came out and bombed I for sure felt that way.

What? Gummo was fantastic. I don't want to watch it again, but I've never seen anything like it either, and that alone is strong merit.

I saw it because of Connery. It sucked. And yeah, people are 100% justified in finding that a bizarre idea. In fact, Connery took on the role specifically because it wasn't his usual thing. The story goes that, after turning down a role in The Matrix because he thought it was dumb and nonsensical, and seeing that blow up to absurd levels, he decided maybe dumb nonsense was just what people liked and accepted the Extraordinary Gentlemen role since that was similarly dumb and nonsensical to him. When that flopped, he quit acting altogether, deciding he just didn't understand cinema anymore.

Gummo is like a disturbing experimental music album in movie form. It's interesting and the experience sticks with you but it's hard to recommend to others.

Ankle Biters

FairyTale: A True Story.

1997 film about the Cottingley Fairies, which includes Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini trying to determine the nature of the fairies and whether they are real or a fabrication.
