I've enjoyed everything Christopher Guest has done, but Best In Show is by far his best.

I think it was Best in Show that had the line: "I met her at Starbuck's. Not at the same same Starbuck's, the Starbuck's across the street from each other."

Bingo!

"You know in some countries they eat these dogs"

Shiny Flakes doc on Netflix is really good. About a German teenager who made a fortune selling drugs online from his bedroom. And he did it all by himself, and without his parents' knowledge.

There is apparently also a show on Netflix based on the story, but I haven't seen that yet. Will probably watch that next.

Green Knight
"A24 announced that the film will be available to stream for one night only on Wednesday, August 18 at 9pm EST on the A24 Screening Room. Basically, how it works is that, starting at that time, you’re able to stream that specific movie and have a four-hour window to finish it once you start it. But the Screening Room isn’t cheap: It’s $20 for a ticket."

It’s worth it to see in theatres. Cannot recommend enough.

Donnie Darko (2001)

Bad language at the dinner table: *****!

Harvey!

Kaboom!: They don’t know where it came from!

Dirty Dancing: Attitudinal Beliefs!

Donnie Darko: The Cutest boy!

Wake up Donnie!

My dad has emotional problems: Me too!!!

Turn down the volume: And think about ****ing Christina Applegate!

Smurfette: I’m the only one who transcends the Parent-Teacher Relationship!

Do you know anything about time travel: Roberta Sparrow!

Drugs, alcohol and premarital sex: Kiddie Porn!

Frank, when is it going to: Sparkle Motion!

Did you know him? No!

Hadn’t seen it in 20 years. I think it’s improved. Check it out!

Best In Show is great but that’s not the one where he says:

“You can't really dust for vomit”

Harper Paul Newman is a private eye looking for a woman's missing husband. Lots of twists and turns and quirky bad characters. Not really great. A little on the silly side but watchable.

Mona Lisa Bob Hoskins (or Phil Collins, hard to tell) plays a driver hired to transport a prostitute during her rounds. Along the way he gets involved in the seedy side of the sex trade and some bad dudes. Worth a watch.

Great based solely on Newman's Porche Speedster.

I love that movie...

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Who are those guys!? Still good after all these years. Raindrops still falling on my head….

Well Mandy was an acid trip. I hope that's the right descriptor, I don't take drugs. The director and writers definitely did when working. No sober person could have made this film.

The next time I say, "Let's go someplace like Bolivia", Let's go someplace like Bolivia!

From the time they blow up the mail coach till they jump off the cliff is one of the great sequences in film. I have it on DVR and that’s the part I always re-watch, esp the parts where they see the torches and later when they’re looking across at the posse in the red rocks.

butch and sundance and the sting, 2 of the greatest movies ever.

what incredible chemistry they had.

Mandy is perfection

Can't go wrong with a chainsaw fight.

So, a few years ago, I mentioned this movie and kind of dismissed it. But last night, I watched it again with my GF, and holy ****, it is a masterpiece.

The Wailing, Na Hong-jin, 2016

Wow. Just brilliant in every way. This mash-up of Christian/Korean/Japanese religious imagery and iconography and spiritualism is so damn deep, I'm going to have to watch it again. Love what the director doesn't reveal, as well. There's is some ambiguousness going on for most, but I think it's all still right there for the viewer to dissect.

At 2 hours 36 minutes, this is an epic that wears away your defenses until, by the very end, you are worn down to a bare, tender nerve.

Great performances, great editing, great music, and superb cinematography.

Lots of humor, too. Rare in a truly frightening film.

I'm going search out more movies by this filmmaker.

Yellow Sea used to be on several streaming services and is worth a watch. Its plot is both exciting and completely unfathomable.

Agree. Here my old post revised from 4 years ago:
The Wailing (2016) This excellent Korean supernatural horror/mystery is so dense in ideas it could have been made into three separate movies. It helps to have some knowledge of Asian Shamanism, Japanese culture, and Christian myths to understand this film. The theme seems to be that people are in great danger from evil people or evil spirits when they are not vigilant enough or skillful enough to differentiate evil spirits from the good. The likeable but simple minded police officer hero (something like Officer Edward in the Wicker Man (1973)) of the story is overwhelmed by strange deaths his small town. Then his own family is threatened. It is always murky which people are evil spirts and which are good. The director left little clues in the movie to help the viewer solve what is going on. One clue in a spoiler.

Great (imo) old underrated movie free on YT. usually you have to pay for the good ones unless they're a lot older than this one. Brian De Palma's best, again imo, although some of his others sold many more tickets. He took the idea from the classic movie "Blow Up.' the uploader put the movie title in Spanish which translates as "A Shot in the Night" but it's not a Spanish movie. maybe he did that so YT wouldn't take it down for copyright violation. the title of the movie is "Blow Out."
