I'm only naming it this for lack of a better term. It's
descriptive enough. Anyway, for those who wouldn't mind
having this (compiled from the movie thread) in one handy
copy/paste format...

"Viola!"

Yeah, I know it's spelled wrong. Sheesh. On to the movies:

<RABbit movie recommendations 2002>

The Queen of Cans and Jars:
Ghost World, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Mr. Show

TQ:
Passion in the Desert, The Others (i know, i'm so behind),
Donnie Darko (really weird and fun), Face (with Robert
Carlyle, not the other one)...

yttrx:
Salome's Last Dance. Its a ken russel film. Its twisted
and has a cute shemale in it.

Phil Boutros:
Once Were Warriors.

Angel~ a.k.a. BayBlueAngel:
"Dangerous Beauty"

Suzy Smith:
O Brother Where Art Thou?

Phil Boutros (regarding actor John Turturro):

If you want to see his funniest part (IMHO), see The Big
Lebowski. As a matter of fact, watch all the Coen brothers'
films.

Suzy Smith (regarding obsessive movie viewing):
My obsession before this was Bring It On.

In fact a short list of movies I've done this with:

Steel Magnolias
Bring It On
Threesome
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Reality Bites
The Breakfast Club
The Wizard of Oz

Nothing that links all of them, just movies that I end up
watching time and again.

MareknLyn, delurked long enough to add:

At the risk of being sent back to lurkdom with my tail
between my legs...

Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a twisted take off on the
Odyssey with George Clooney and bluegrass music. What's not
to like?

Cylence (in one of her last posts to r.a.b):
"Two Women", Italian WWII b&w subtitled masterpiece.

Ray Pearson (offering movies & music suggestions):
I really liked Mr Smith goes to washington, and in keeping
with the cites theme you could always double up with Debbie
does Dallas. Or you could go another way and get the boxed
set of taboo and taboo ll

deep purple, vanilla fudge, all Zappa or waay back Carl
perkins, Jerry lee, Roy, or at least all the car and surf
guys. Everyone sing along Surfer Joe,,,

AndysGirl a.k.a. Mara:
"No Man's Land"...it's a Bosnian film. "Divided We
Fall"...which I believe is Czechoslovakian

Mara replied to my comment:

> and, Mara, your suggestions were unavailable,

Good video stores are so hard to find. >:(

> so I picked up _Like Water for Chocolate_ in Spanish
>with English subtitles.

At least you have the decency to get subtitled films. Dubbed
films are an atrocity and should be outlawed.

> No Bosnian nor Czech films, unfortunately.
Oh! While you're at it, pick up "The Closet" (French). It's
fucking hilarious.

yttrx replied to Mara's comment:

> At least you have the decency to get subtitled films.
>Dubbed films are an atrocity and should be outlawed.

Oh really now?

Ever see La Strada? (arguably one of the finest films ever
made)...

shadetree:
Following, The Great Race, Hedwig and the Angry Inch

yttrx added:
Go rent Hedwig and the Angry Inch. If you manage to survive
it without your head exploding, you may have a hope of one
day being something other than 100% Grade A Certified Lame.

shadetree returned:
Following is a movie by the director of Memento. It has the
same kind of non-linear story line, and a really pretty good
plot twist. It's worth seeing, if you can find a copy. If
you haven't seen Memento, see it, too.
The Great Race is a worth seeing just for Jack Lemmon as
Professor Fate.
Hedwig is just fantastic. Everything about it. See it!

lish added (regarding Following):

it was cute, but not nearly as clever as "memento".
"following" had too many slow points, though i recall liking
the ending enough.

Susan F. dived in with:
"My Man Godfrey", with Carol Lombard and William Powell -
the quintessential screwball comedy from the 30's with ditzy
Park Avenue denizens set against the "forgotten men' eking
out a living on the city dump.

"We're No Angels" with Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo
Ray (side-note: I <3 Aldo Ray), and Adolf the snake - a
strange sentimental comedy with some killer sardonic wit.
The scene where Bogart, Ustinov and Ray sit around
debating how to tell the bad guy that he'd just taken
something away from them that he really shouldn't have is
hilarious.

Golgotha:
Space Balls
American Beauty
Amazon Women on the Moon
Toy Machine's Welcome to Hell
Blackhawk Down
Shawshank Redemption
Easyrider
Memento
Explorers
Little Nicky

(and later)

DOH! Akira...how the hell could I forget Akira?

which jogged Susan's memory:
Oh, you reminded me: Samurai!

The "Lone Wolf and Cub" movies, the "Zatoichi" movies,
and "The Razor" movies.

And Ray wrote again:

> Easyrider
Of course being (ahem) somewhat older, left the theater
after seeing it during the first run, smoked a joint and
wanted to run over anyone I saw over thirty.
Also enjoyed abbot and costello meet the wolfman, much
better than A&C meet the invisible man.
for a good entire sunday afternoon the langoliers and or "V"
or the stand.

</RABbit movie recommendations 2002>

My favorite:
An Officer and a Gentleman

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. If you haven't seen it since you were
a kid, it's a WHOLE DIFFERENT MOVIE as an adult. Especially if you're smacked

Fight Club.
Harrison Bergernon.
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. This is probably the most fucked up
movie I have every seen. If you want a serial killer training film, this is it.
Brazil.

When I was in Toronto this past week, I saw "Life as a House" at a friend's
place - it's pretty good. It has Kevin Kline, and Christopher Hayden as a
father and son who spend a summer building a house after the father
discovers he's dying. It even has piercings, and witty piercing dialogue:
"Take that thing out of your chin."
Worth seeing, anyway.

Got bandwidth? I can hook you up with Waking Life.

If you're spiritual in any way, shape, or form, you'd enjoy it. I
can't possibly begin to guess whether you are or aren't.

There doesn't seem to be any 'classic' movies listed. Or
any old movies.

Unless i missed them all some how.

What about....
Harvey
Casablanca
Lawrence of Arabia
Desk Set
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
They Call Me Mr. Tibbs
To Sir With Love
The Lion in Winter
The Ruling Class
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Bringing up Baby
It Happened One Night
Stage Door
Auntie Mame (with Rosalind Russel, not Lucille Ball)
The African Queen
Dark Victory
National Velvet
Yankee Doodle Dandy
American in Paris
Singin' in the Rain
Gone With the Wind

Man, i need to go rent a movie.

Ray Pearson was the first person to reply (according to my
view of Free Agent). His Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
is old and a 'classic'. And a kickass movie to boot!

If you like Woody Allen:

And it fits TQ's pre-1980 criteria as well. 1969.

I might as well make the most out of it and read a lot.
Any recommendations rabbits?

Mine are among many:

"Le Lion" by Joseph Kessel
"Hundred little secret senses" by Amy Tan

It's awesome to read when you've got a cold, because you start getting
paranoid that you've got Captain Trips.

It's also enjoyable to read when you have a doctor's appointment and you're
sitting in the waiting room. No one will sit next to you and bother you as
long as you have "The Stand" in your hand.

Oh, what's that one book with the mother and the daughter...

*That* is an excellent read. I actually read it while

The rest of Amy Tans' books

Carrie, The Dead Zone, and The Stand are my favorite Stephen
King. I think i threw 'It' across the room several times.
Needful Things is also pretty good.

Any Dick Francis, if you're in to mysteries.
the Jean Auel books are alright, but they get a little

My best experience was reading it while home alone down in the basement over a
three day weekend. You have no idea how happy I was when I finally saw another
human being. It was surreal, honest.

Well since you've expressed the interest in horror, you may want to peruse the
acknowledged Grandfather of the genre. Pick up a compilation of the works of
H.P. Lovecraft. The man's influences can still be seen in a lot of modern
works, pretty impressive considering he never wrote a complete novel, though
some of his short stories are a bit longer than the moniker would suggest.

_fear nothing_ is one of the better pieces he's produced in the

Neat! I actually even liked the 'Joy Luck Club' movie that
was made. I don't think i've read a Chinese
Chinese/American author yet who doesn't have really
horrible, sad stories to tell, but there is so much humor
and hope in the rest, you just have to read them.

Loooong time ago he was the (late) Queen Mum's steeplechase
jockey, and all his books have jockeys and horseracing in
them somewhere, but his main charecters have been as diverse
as a BBC weatherman to a private investigator to a movie
actor. So, interesting and well written and horses, good
enough for me. :)

Oh GODS, you too? I wanted to cry when i got to the FIVE
THOUSANDTH (???) description of how she got horses, the
wolf, her accent, her 'man', blah de blah de blah blah.
JAYZUS. Yes, i was also sick of 'she was the only woman who
could take him ALL' crap, gag-o.
And the worst part? It's NOT DONE. There is ANOTHER book
still, and my neruotic needs will force me to read that one,
too. Gah. I hope there is an actual STORY to the last one.

most books have some horribleness in them. nobody's gonna read something
that's like a 300 page tea party.

the chinese... condition... is a little different than what we're used to
as whitey mcwhites.

there are some "happy" chinese lit books. Maxine Hong Kingston's
"Tripmaster Monkey" is a difficult read, but its not so much a sad story
as whoa, someone did too much acid (not that im saying that kingston did
acid, just that it would explain a lot).

YEAH!!! I thought I might be the only one here to appreciate

particularly enjoy having to tune out the dialog and observe

Is this why I didn't see you at the Jim Rose Show?

I missed the opening act but made it in time for all of the sideshow. Looked

If you didn't go you didn't miss much the only new act was a yo yo guy. I'll
admit that the energy level was a hell of alot better than it was when I saw em
on the Godsmack tour, and it was nice to see Lifto back with the show. Just too
bad they haven't come up with anyone to replace the torture king, that man made
the show for me first time I saw em.

Hehehehehhee. Gods yes. All through the last two books was
this 'i want to have a baby, i'm dying for a baby' stuff,
and then, she HAS a baby, and it's like....'eh, here's the
baby'... Good gods, all that build-up for absolutely
nothing. I think she was more excited about their own
dwelling-space then her new kid.
Sheesh.

good, bad, eh.

im saying. i don'tneed to read any book that's touted as "a risky,
ambitious novel that tackles themes of loyalty, connectedness, and what it
means to be a family" and deals with "magnetic ghost stories."

im just not into that, is all.

*Oooh, Asimov, now we're talking again :)
I like the foundation series, I robot.

Harry Harrison's Soylent Green wasn't bad at all.
Frank Herbert deserve great consideration.
James Herbert, the white plague.
By age 14 i had read everything of Lobsang Rampa just to discover he was a
fake.

More ecclectic interests:
O jerusalem! by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre to understand the
mideast situation.
Les tournois de dieu by Pierre Barret & Jean-Noël gurgand. Really nice,
three books. about crusades and
why the temple order scared the shit of the then french king and clergy.
etc, my dad has an excellent reading taste and a big library with cool
gardening books too ;).

Speaking of which, his previously unreleased "Supernatural Horror in
Literature" and "The Shadow out of Time" are now available. The former
is a meticulously reasearched, definitive history of horror novels,
dry reading but a must for all enthusiasts of the genre. The latter is
one of his not-quite-a-novel-but-longer-than-a-short-story works.

"'Trick?" That's a new one.

And what's wrong with freebuffing? I like it.

And, it was on my radio station's morning show about a year ago.
So you KNOW it's got to be right....

Ummm, it doesn't look like a taco (ridgy stiff shells with
lettuce poking out), it looks like lovely soft oyster
innards or something.
And you are getting the stinky chix if you think 'head' and
