My favorite Jackie Chan movie is Rush Hour, but my fave pure Jackle movie is The Legend Of Drunken Master(aka Drunken Master 2). Most dangerous stunts and fights of all. Rumble In The Bronx was my first Chan film and I liked it then(I own it on video), but now I can't watch it. Just a crappy looking movie.
Surviving The Game is hella cool! Ah, how I wish for the days before Ice-T decided to ruin his credibility as an actor by playing a kangaroo in Tank Girl.  But you can't beat that movie for watching actors being hammy. Gary Busey, F Murray Abraham and Charles S Dutton are awesome. Karelle: She's Out Of Control? I'd totally forgotten about that movie. Back when that movie was on cable all the time I had a mad crush on Ami Dolenz. I can't resist movies where the ugly girl becomes hot(it's almost a sure thing I'll like The Princess Diaries for that very reason). I liked Freeway also, but the sequel with Natasha Lyonne is even weirder and better. TMAN: License To Drive was one of my pre-teen favorites. You can't beat it(Archie's, the old guy who steals the car, the crazy DMV guy with the coffee ). And it was indeed the best Heather Graham role, cuz her lack of talent didn't really matter, since she was passed out drunk for half the film.twiggy! "Stay up baby boy." "I got you."

When I was a kid, I saw "Big Trouble in Little China" and "The Goonies" more times than I probably should have. Those were the days when my memory wasn't as strong.
Now, I can't watch movies more than once every two years because I'll just get bored during them. The only two films that doesn't apply to are "Pulp Fiction" and "L.A. Confidential," which has been playing on TBS (or is it TNT?) a lot lately (and which I've found myself drawn into on more than one occasion, despite my owning it on video). Films that are heavy on plot ("L.A. Confidential") or are just brilliant ("Pulp Fiction") can make me forget that I saw them two months ago. Otherwise, I just figure that there are so many movies that I haven't seen yet (I've got a sheet of paper with over 100 movies that I'd like to rent by the end of the year) so why waste my time watching something I've seen recently and that I remember all too well?

sorry, I could not remember the original title of this thread.
Garsh, some of you have touched on movies I like a lot but I don't think there is a movie I have watched and watched and watched in my life. I enjoy movies, I just don't seem to enjoy them as much as so many other people. I really like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" a lotsa. I used to watch "Robin Hood" and "Lady and the Tramp" a lot. "transformers the movie" is a great memory and also "G.I.Joe the Movie". "Gremlins" as someone mentioned. A couple of the "Police Academy" movies. The first two the "Karate Kid" movies. In "License to Drive", I thought the scene where the main character backs up very quickly and the hubcaps(sp?) of the vehicle fly off in various directions was hilarious. I liked the first two "Die Hard" movies. "Groundhog Day" is one of my favorite movies. I like the "Indiana Jones" movies, so I've seen those a handful of times. I really like "Contact", so I've also seen that a handful of times. All of the "Star Wars" movies. I don't own many movies. Even Natalie movies I've only seen each less than ten times except "The Phantom Menace". Her movies make up just over half of the movies I own. I love "Anywhere But Here", "Beautiful Girls" and "Where the Heart Is". I know "Leon" pretty well though. and that's a wrap, folks.  floothe |

"Whew! That is a LONG list, I know. And believe it or not, I WILL be adding more as they come (I've drawn a blank)." (Dee)
he he me too, i have to re-edit my post: i forgot: - CURLY SUE - WEIRD SCIENCE - EXPLORERS - BACK TO THE FUTURE 1&2&3 - HOME ALONE - WILLOW - WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT "Karelle......the description you gave about the "fairy tale" reminded me a LOT of the fairy tale "The Snow Queen" (the 'Faerie Tale Theater' version, in particular, which starred Vanessa Redgrave as 'the Snow Queen' and Lauren Hutton). Perhaps it was a different VERSION, but the storyline descrition you gave, fits that of 'The Snow Queen'." (Dee) yeah that sounds like that Dee!! But i'm not sure if it's that TV version from 1983 or the Finish one from 1986: Lumikuningatar though. The face of Vanessa Redgrave reminds me something but in the same time, i really thought it was a "German" version... I remember really well the aesthetic of the film but i couldn't find any pic of both versions on the web, so...  i dunno  "Karelle: She's Out Of Control? I'd totally forgotten about that movie. Back when that movie was on cable all the time I had a mad crush on Ami Dolenz. I can't resist movies where the ugly girl becomes hot. I liked Freeway also, but the sequel with Natasha Lyonne is even weirder and better." (Twig) oh, i didn't know they made a sequel of Freeway! When was it released? i've never heard about it, i think they didn't release it in France I would be curious to see it because one of the best thing in the first film was Reese Weatherspoon performance which was excellent!Amy Dolenz was cute. That's weird i haven't heard about her since that film! She didn't make anything big since then? It seems that she's credited on a movie on post-preparation called Mr. ID "Films that are heavy on plot ("L.A. Confidential") or are just brilliant ("Pulp Fiction") can make me forget that I saw them two months ago. Otherwise, I just figure that there are so many movies that I haven't seen yet (I've got a sheet of paper with over 100 movies that I'd like to rent by the end of the year) so why waste my time watching something I've seen recently and that I remember all too well?" (Rick) I have the same point on that subject Rick: I have too many movies i want to see for watching the same one several times! Though, more excellent they are (of course there are some exceptions) and the less often i watch them! For example, i haven't watched again Seven since it was released in theaters, same with Jackie Brown etc... i don't want to spoil my memory of it, so i prefer to wait some times before seeing it again. On the contrary, bad movies are generally very easy to watch (the proof is my list of movies i watched over and over as a kid!). When you're laizy, it's a lot easier to watch Clueless again than to watch Citizen Kane... I bought the DVD's of "The Virgin Suicides" and "Nowhere" today It was less expensive than usual because tomorrow is the Music's Day.... Do you have such a day in your country? Here, it a special day on June every year: there are free concerts everywhere, in the streets etc... in all the country. In some stores, the CDs and DVds are cheaper too.

"The Virgin Suicides"+ Jonathon Tucker & Brad | |||

Posts: 581 (06/20/01 22:43:24) |
Karelle: I absolutely LOVE this movie! Sophia Coppola is wondeful.
 Perhaps one of my favorite things about it is that (very) small time actor (and a fave of mine) Jonathon Tucker was cast as . He hasn't done many films, but I still like him. I think he's adorable (in a dorky sorta way). He's in a movie called "100 Girls" (sadly, a typical 'teen comedy', it looks like), that was MADE sometime in '99, yet it hasn't been released here (in the States). I have no idea why. I know it's open in places like Italy and Brazil (is it in France?) I'm very curious (and frustrated!) Hehe. That's happened quite a lot lately with one of my fave actors BRAD RENFRO. He has about SIX films due out (or that were SUPPOSED to be out) in 2000-2002. Yet, although most have finished production: - "Bully" (also starring Bijou Phillips and Rachel Miner) - "Skipped Parts" (with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Mischa Barton) - "Tart" (w/ Dominique Swain and Bijou again) - "Ghost World" (w/ Thora Birch and Scarlette Johannsen) - "Happy Campers" (again w/ Dominique Swain) - "Deuces Wild" (w/ Stephen Dorff , Balthazar Getty, and Matt Dillon) - "Through the Skin" (w/ Carley Pope and Lesley Ann Warren) and finally, - "2 Little, 2 Late" (w/ Heather McComb --- perhaps the most mysterious of them all, since people at film festivals have seen it, yet I've never heard anything about it. I know you're really up on your films (especially modern)...so I was wondering if you've heard anything about ANY of the above films (including "100 Girls")??? Thanks! -Dee |

Hmmm, in a couple weeks here in San Diego we will be getting "Bully," but I got an e-mail a month or so back saying that "Happy Campers" is indefinitely postponed. New Line seems to do that quite often lately.

Karelle: Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trick Baby never played in theaters. It went straight to video. It must've come out on video early last year, cuz I remember when I saw it I thought it was like Girl, Interrupted, only made by insane people. Vincent Gallo plays a transsexual in it. VERY weird. I love Natasha Lyonne though. She's always so cool. But I'm A Cheerleader's pretty retarted though.
Dee: DAMN that Brad Renfro's a luck s.o.b! That's one great list of female co-stars he's got. Carly Pope, Mischa Barton, and Scarlett? Yum! twiggy! "Stay up baby boy." "I got you."

I've never heard about that Jonathon Tucker
But I love Sofia Coppola! She's so talented in different fields (design, photo, directing!) and she's very pretty and looks simple. In the DVD, there is a 20 minute-long making-of the film, it's great! According to the French edition of Premiere, Cent girls will be released on June, the 27 here. But it may be postponed. The title reminds me of something: i think i saw the "card" (i don't know how to call it in english) announcing the press screening at the radio. I'm not sure though. I don't know anything about the other movies you mentionned but i'll look at the newspaper ("Le Film Francais") that reports all the future release dates at work, ok? Hey Dee, I bought the DVD of "The Sound of music" today! This thread reminded me the movies i love and i couldn't resist to watch it again There are 2 DVDs in one: the first one with the movie and the second one with a long documentary (1h30) on the film, another one on the music (15 min), pics, new scenes, trailers, TV and radio ads, and interviews of the team! Is it the same edition that is sold in America? Twig: Vincent Gallo kicks ass!

I racked my brain trying to think of any that I might have previously forgotten, and could only come up with two. (Like I said before, I never much liked watching most movies over and over too much, because it would ruin my experience of it.)
Thanks to Karelle, I remembered the "Police Academy" series. I loved those. I used to repeatedly rent the series, one movie a day. And the cartoon series I loved, too. I still have most of the toys packed away somewhere. I had such a crush on Callahan (sp?) from the movies though. I remember being crushed when they didn't have a toy of her! The other movie is "Beetlejuice." That's one that I could watch multiple times in the same day. Burton's imagination took me off to some other world with that one. (I had the toys to that, too, and I wrote the company, Kenner, once because they didn't make the female characters either, and they sent me a reply. I still have it somewhere.) It's been too long since I've seen "Beetlejuice." In anticipation of "Planet of the Apes," maybe I should re-watch his stuff. (On a sidenote, I was never a foul-mouthed little kid, but I do remember getting in trouble for repeating some of the "bad" dialogue from the "Police Academy" series, and for imitating Beetlejuice with the "Nice fuckin' model [grabs balls] honk, honk." Just a tip: never do that in front of your mother's company! )g I'm a tree that grows hearts, one for each that you take. You're the intruder's hands, I'm the branch that you break.

100 Girls will be released here on July the 4, in 100 theaters which is pretty good.
Premiere gives it 2 stars ourt of 4. I'll tell you how it is if i goes to the press screening.  The cast also includes Katherine Heigl and Larisa Oleynik. Official site (ok now i know who is Jonathan Tucker. I know him only from The Virgin Suicides and Sleepers though. Do you think he's cute?? not my type.)

Few years back, more like 5, I was in love with the movie The Sandlot.
That movie is great, and when I was 10 that's the life I wanted to have. Kids playing baseball everyday and on hot days going to the local pool and drooling over the female lifeguard. I'll never forget the scene where, Squits (I think that as his name, the dorky looking kid with glasses) jumped in the deep end of the pool to get the lifeguard jump in after him. In the scene the lifeguard jumped in saved him, he faked it all the way through, and when she went to give him CPR he held her down and kissed her. That was a great fucking scene, and I'll never forget it. I watched the Sandlot maybe 100 times? Someone mentioned the movie the The Quest for the Holy Grail. Geezzz, the first time I saw it was this past Christmas time in History class. One of those relax before vacation days. I hated the movie and had to put up with it for 2 days. Everyone in the class laughed through it except for me. I couldn't bare to watch it, it was horrible. The movie actually gave me a bitter taste for fellow class mates becasue I couldn't get how they could possibly like this shit. I settled on thinking them all dorks and geeks so it was alright. I hated that class too. No way should I have taken honours, I was probally the only kid in that class that couldn't have given a shit about what thing the teacher said. oh well. In my eyes that movie blows and is anything but humorous. -romeo |

You people mentioned a whole load of movies that I've watched over and over in my lifetime. But another favourite of mine way back in the day was Labyrinth. I couldn't get enough of that movie, Jennifer Connelly became my favorite actress for some time after I watched it. Too bad she doesn't do much movies anymore. David Bowie also did a good job in that movie also.

How my! How could I forget My girl ? I know every line of this movie! I loved it! It was SO sad!
 I wonder what Anna Chlumsky has become!!! She hasn't shot anything since 1998! It seems that she's at the University of Chicago. It's sad all these child actors who were so great and cute and don't make anything anymore!

Dee, i saw "100 girls" tonight. I wanted to see "Shrek" but it was sold out, so, i went to see "100 girls" since we had talked about it...
It's pretty vulgar (it's only about sex and it includes nudity), kinda cliche but it has some funny theories on men and women and the end is cute (i like the actress Emmanuelle Chriqui, she looks like Eliza Dushku in cuter) My rating: 1/4 (maybe even 1,5) PS: Larissa Oleynik and Katherine Heigl (who seems to have gained some weight!) have a kiss scene |

Thanks Karelle!
I've been waiting for Emmanuelle Chriqui to come out with a new film.I believe she's a Canadian actress who's first role was in a movie they filmed in Edmonton called "Snow Day".

Ooh, Larisa and Katy smoochin? That might even beat Sarah and Selma!
IMDB said Emmanuelle was in A.I., but I don't remember seeing her. Perhaps she's on the cutting room floor. I don't think she's cuter than my future wife Eliza, but then Eliza's more sexy than cute. I miss Anna Chlumsky. She was my 2nd big actress crush after Jenny Lewis. twiggy! "Don't you know the Dewey decimal system?"

"100 Girls" sounds like a good film, one I'd want to see. Lesbo kiss scene? I'm there! Is it an English-language film? (That would give it a better chance of coming to theaters in America since we don't get too many foreign language films here, at least theatrically.)
Jennifer Connelly does quite a bit of work still, Raisin. Last year she came out in "Waking the Dead" (which I failed to see because I don't think it was in theaters in Tucson and I refuse to rent new releases at Blockbuster) and "Requiem for a Dream," which topped my and Je Laime's 'Best of 2000' lists (and also received an endorsement from Amoryblaine, so you know it's got to be good). I loved her in "Labyrinth" as well; she may have been my first-ever crush (that came out in '85 or '86?). Karelle: can you please post that pic you have under your name? With the new ezboard set-up, I can't go into your profile and see the picture bigger. It looks sort of anime, with a woman straddling a man maybe, lodging a dildo up his ass? Am I pretty far off the mark? I'm going to cast Anna Chlumsky in a movie of mine sometime in the future. I think "My Girl" was the first movie to get me to cry. I even bought the book of that movie, and read it throughout 4th grade. "Thomas Jay? Where are his glasses? He can't see without his glasses!" Dammit, that used to get me.
