"Cockfighter", "Incubus", "Branded to Kill", "Aguirre the Wrath of God", "Race with the Devil", or "The Exterminating Angel". There.

All I can say is dont watch Prospero's Books, it was so awful it just about sucked my soul out through my eyeballs

― Menelaus Darcy, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

CUBE IS THE WORST FILM EVER EVER EVER!!

get Eraserhead or The Wizard of Oz.

― Wyndham Earl, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

bring it on.

― chris, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Grosse Point Blank. Wit, violence and a pleasingly cheesy 80's soundtrack.

― Wilfred the Beagle, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Better Off Dead

― Nicole, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now *there's* your eighties classic.

Ed Wood.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"When We Were Kings," the documentary about the Muhammad Ali-George Foreman fight. Even people who hate boxing and think they're going to hate the movie (e.g. me) love it.

― Douglas, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Legally Blonde".

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Shanghai Noon!

― jel, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i'll nix legally blonde.

mallrats.

tricky to help with question when 'i want something good' is the only direction. 'Good' in the sense of funny, entertaining, uncomplicated, moving, though-provoking, visually stunning, mindlessly pleasing pap or what else in particular? Gore and thrills? Intricate sub-plots to have you oohing and aahing long after the credits? Dodgy plot but good vehicle for the talents of A. N. As-Yet-Unspecified?

Most things with John Cusack are very good in one way or another, except America's Sweethearts which had me leaving the cinema in a state of shock that he had compromised his good name so thoughtlessly. Julai Roberts attacking cooked breakfast should not be the comedic highlight of any movie. I am too scared to watch Serendipidty for the same reason, although admittedly JR and hash brownies may not be featured.

i very much enjoyed 'water drops on burning rocks'. it features a mixed gender/age foursome and an ensemble disco scene... and a lot of wallpaper.

'Waiting For Guffman'

― Nancy Drew, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Hana Bei" aka "Fireworks" is unbelievably good.

― dan, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

jurassic park or crimes & misdemeanors.

― ethan, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

REANIMATOR!!

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Waiting For Guffman' . NO. What do people get out of this shit? I mean, the "'Remains of the Day' lunchbox" bit is funny, but everything else sucks, sucks, sucks. Well, I guess this is Christopher Guest, so sucking may be the point.

Rent Fantastic Planet and watch it high like J-Lo in "The Cell" (which is way better than many people say it is).

― Dan I., Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Amores Perros

― Michael Bourke, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the remains of the lunchbox was the only unfunny part of waiting for guffman, it was like a snl joke or something.

― ethan, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gattaca.

― kevin enas, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

remains of the day lunchbox, rather. but yes rent waiting for guffman, it's fantastic (best in show is good as well but too broad and punchline-y).

Splendor in the Grass

― girls don't compose, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Have you seen Weekend at Bernies?

― Gale Deslongchamps, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

haven't we done the necrophilia thing already?

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, that would be Weekend in Bernie's

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i ended up watching midnight cowboy.

― anthony, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Grosse Point Blank and Better Off Dead: both awesome. I just saw One Crazy Summer for the first time two weeks ago. I like movies where the good guys do things to the bad guys before the bad guys even do anything bad.

― Vinnie, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wait four days, then you can rent Ghost World.

― Justyn Dillingham, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hanle y, the Wrath of God.

Seriously ... Pootie Tang!
