It's Friday and I want to get loaded and break wind

film recommendations from the demented Tabsy: If it's horror (sci-fi) you seek- 1.The Thing (1982)-dman good flick from what I saw of it though my fingers. It may have been heavily edited for the basic-cable outlet I viewed it on, however, so might not be a good snuggle-up movie 2.Blade Runner (1981?)-Harrison Ford's best non-SW role, imho 3.Aliens (1986)-More than makes up for that steaming load of turd James Cameron made called "Tit-anic" (hard to believe the same guy made this) 4.Clockwork Orange (1971)-Malcolm McDowell's single best performance ever, hands down (It's all downhill from there for the poor bastard) 5. Shining (1980)-Another Kubrickian journey into madness. Doesn't exactly promote domestic tranquility, though

If a laugh-

1. Monty Python's Meaning of Life (1983)-Horribly underrated in western cinema 2.Trainspotting-Iggy Pop and New Order on the soundtrack. Need I say more? 3.The Rutles-Eric Idle takes in the Beatles myth, with hilarious results. Worth seeking out 4.Rushmore (1998)- the star is a bratty teenager who reminds me of my not-too-distant youth

Drama you seek?- 1.LA Confidential (1997)- Before Kevin Spacey played a pervert from the suburbs, he was a pervert-hunter in the LAPD 2.Man on the Moon (1999)-Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman. One of my favorites 3.MASH (1970)-Too damn good to be just a comedy

and finally, documentaries (I only got one)-

1. The Filth and The Fury (2000)- Quite possibly the most fun I've had watching a flick is laughing over John Lydon's pointed remarks about his bandmates and the British upperclass. Can't Miss.

If you've seen all these already, that's cool, just trying to steer you to the stuff I'd say was essential viewing (or at least fun)

........and if its drugs u seek

Twin Town

To Live and Die in LA.... there's a good one. And of course, you could go with Bright Lights, Big City. Maybe its Bongwater you are after, a fine film with Jack Black. Or my fave stand-by Grosse Point Blank.

Come to that, has anybody here actually sat in a cinema and simply let rip like never before during a quiet bit of a film? We're talking seriously seismic here. So come on, be honest.

WOW! Over 700 posts! If I may say so myself........
