Dark Star [/list]

Randomly watched Woody Allen's Anything Else with Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci. I'm not sure why it got so many bad reviews at the time, it's your typical woody allen movie with Biggs playing the Woody Allen role (he was perfectly fine) and with Ricci at the height of her career. (Forgot how much a bombshell Ricci was in her prime.) Overall it's a decent little movie, not Woody's best movie but not his worst either. I laughed and was entertained, and I always enjoy a movie that's heavy with interesting/witty dialogue.

Kind of want to watch more Ricci movies from the late 90's, early 00s. I remember really liking the The Opposite of Sex but have very little recollection about it.\

You're in for a real treat.

Nice list Dubnjoy, Mr. Nobody is truly fantastic. Have u seen Triangle? Also really good, underrated, scifi movie.

Thx guys, I have added the latter 2 movies to the list If anyone can think of other solid obscure sci-fy movies, please fire away

It's BEYOND the Black Rainbow.

Dom, have you seen Mandy yet? Does it compare to BtBR?

yep...it was my favorite movie of last year! my review

I'd recommend The Ice Storm or Buffalo '66 as movies.

Oh ****, I could not be more hyped to watch this.

Just got the newly released Criterion/Jarmusch 'Night on Earth' and it looks pretty darn nice for an early 1990 movie.

?? What would you expect it to look like? Nothing is better than a good film transfer.

is romancing the stone any good?
does it hold up? worth watching?

yeah, it's a fun movie

what's the matter Dom you too good for an imaginary friend draft?

that goes for the rest of you bums too.

The Burial of Kojo is marvelous.

lol it looks interesting, but I'm gonna view that one...not sure I can contribute

aw man I was really looking forward to seeing who you would choose to sit and drink whiskey with etc.

Jim Carrey 1994 marathon, "Nobody Stopped Him"

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - Loved it as a teen, didn't care for it now. The physical clownish humor doesn't do it for me (I need impressive stunts or more obvious physicality like dancing). Judging by laughter of the audience it does do it for some others, so that's fine. The opening scene is such a dud. Why would it be funny that he's throwing around a box?

Obviously problematic af with standard 20th century homophobia and [spoilers]. The audience for the most part was not having that at all.

The Mask (35mm) - Also loved it as a teen, also isn't very good. It's worth revisiting once I guess but don't expect too much. It wants to be a bit Roger Rabbit with the cartoonish stuff and it definitely isn't (I saw that in 35mm last year and it's excellent). The Mask character himself isn't as charming/funny as you would hope/remember. There are good ideas but I'm not even sure how I'd go about cleaning it up - it would need a pretty big overhaul to get to a good level.

One big thing is that the supporting cast is atrociously bad (not including Cameron Diaz, she's good). It's a really strange assortment of character actors that don't work. Not to put too much blame on the actors - they're probably just poorly written and poorly cast.

Has the whiney "nice guys finish last" BS.

References in both of these movies are outdated as hell, and I feel like they were outdated for the target audience of 13 year olds even at the time. Carrey is impressive regardless.

Dumb and Dumber (35mm) - First time I've ever seen it! I don't know how I went through '94-'96 as a huge Carrey fan and never saw it, but I did.

This one is actually great. Whereas the other 2 movies are basically aimed at 8th graders who think it's funny to throw gum at someone or w/e, this is "smart" (and still hilarious for 8th graders). I laughed by far the most (barely laughed at the others), it's the best story and of course the best movie of the 3.

dumb and dumber is perhaps the greatest comedy ever made.

lol no

Counterpoint: it definitely is

no freakin' way

I don't think I would have a single American comedy in my top 5...

It would take me five to get past the Marx Brothers.
