Muffie's Favorite Movies of All Time

[KillerMuffin]

Geez Louise Dixon, put down the crucifix.

Brainsmasher: A Love Story

It's got everything, love, romance, killer shoalin monks chasing the super model sister of the "indiana jones" botanist who has the lotus bloom of ultimate power. It's cute, too.

Tremors

Burt Gummer is my hero. Kevin Bacon is a hottie in hick drag, too. Nummie.

Tremors 3

Burt Gummer overcomes a great personal crisis in a very emotionally healing moment. He had such a heart-warming breakthrough when he learned that you can manufacture your own weapons in a junkyard. It was an extremely emotional moment for me. Bring Kleenex. There's also the plus of another hottie in hick drag with a hella jeep. Yuummmmm.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Jar Jar was cute and Obi Won was definitely edible. I loved the computer stuff and the whole fairy tale sweetness. Natalie Portman looked stupid in her Queen get up. And what's with that voice thing?

Ensign Pulver

"Now hear this. Now hear this." Brings back memories. Even if he never did put marble's in the Old Man's overhead. Too bad James Cagney didn't reprise the role.

Down Periscope

Har har har! You've got to respect a man who has "welcome aboard" tattooed on his penis.

Die Hard With a Vengence

Bruce in his skivvies and Samuel L. Jackson, who rocks. Pity about the Dodge though. Eddie Murphy earned my total disgust when he totaled a powerwagon. This was a Walker Texas Ranger cookie cutter Dodge, so it was okay. I cried though. I have to stop the tape for an obligatory moment of silence.

Strictly Ballroom

"Son, can I bend your ear for a tick?" This one was alternately hysterical and heart-warming. The main guy was a little on the scrawny side, okay a lot on the scrawny side, but he was sort of cute. His accent is hello hot. Definitely fine Australian cinema.

Blade

Just oh my gawd. An underdressed Wesley Snipes, Steven Dorff, and a lot of fighting. A girl could just faint from the excitement.

The Cutting Edge

"Toe pick!" The whole movie was foreplay. D.B. Sweeny and Moira Kelly were just neck deep in my favorite kind of pre-coital play. I'm sure that the main event would have been terribly exciting considering that they didn't kill each other before they got to the point where they actually figured that part out.

The Wash

Friday

and of course the one the only


Bones.

Strictly Ballroom was a lot of fun. What? Wasn't the Road Warrior motorvating enough for you?





Why not The Empire Strikes Back?

Ensign Pulver was pretty funny.

OH MY GOD

 

[NoRegrets]

"Little Murders" is one of the darkest comedies I
can imagine. Great characters with cameos by
Peter Falk and oh you know, what's his name...
anyway, if you like dark comedy, see this one.

Dr. Strangelove
Brazil
The Man Who Would be King
The Razor’s Edge (old version)
All About Eve
The Philadelphia Story

and Funny Bones, a great story, well told but
not much of a commercial success.

If these are new anyone who sees them now
I would be interested in reactions.

I saw Brazil when I was like, 11. I snuck into the den past midnight to see it on Cinemax cause I thought there'd be naked people doing naked people stuff that made my lil' heart just palpitate.

I didn't get it at all. It kind of scared me. I watched the whole thing because the TV guide promised nudity. I was vastly disappointed.

 

[alltherage]

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre see my sig line.

On the Waterfront, I saw that in a theater in a college town and the audiance actually cheered at the end.

The Godfathers and Goodfellers, who could not love blood and mobsters.

My all time favorite is To Kill a Mockingbird. Adicus reminded me of my father and he still does.

A surprisingly low-brow selection for someone with the wit, charm and charisma you usually display!

 

[freescorfr]

Dusk til Dawn - my kids made me watch it. I thought it was brilliant.

 

[NoRegrets]

I saw Brazil when I was like, 11...
...I didn't get it at all. It kind of scared me....
...I was vastly disappointed.

I am sorry, that is sad but it is pretty scary.
Perhaps as an adult in the right frame of
mind you would understand. It's very funny
if you like dark comedy. Full of anachronisms
and very timely with terrorism on the rise.

So, you're saying that low-brow trailer trash can't possibly have intelligence, wit and charisma?

How revealing!

 

[scylis]

Fight Club
they just did my biography better than i ever expected them to!

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
it's got Chow Yun Fat kicking ass and looking all studly for the ladies, beautiful scenery, and it's got the kung fu! oh, and that Zhang Ziyi... mmmmm...

Leon/The Professional
Jean Reno kicks much ass is this movie. it's why i became a freelance assassin. diggin the whole plant thing and the young Natalie Portman. and Gary Oldman just fuckin' RULES as the psycho, Prozak-poppin' bad guy.

Starship Troopers
what's not to love about Marines of the future with really big guns blowing the shit out of really big bugs? co-ed showers all the way, bay-bee!

Conan the Barbarian
his sword makes me wet myself. add to that James Earl Jones with the worst case of helmet hair i've ever seen and Mako (the wizard dude), and this movie kicks so much ass

Red Sonja
as if Arnie's sword in this one making me wet myself again wasn't enough, i work for the guy that made it (the sword)! and wee little Ernie Rhese(Rhyse, sp?) Jr. is just cool.

Huh?

I think you missed the point - please re-read without applying a sarcastic twist.

If anything it was a comment that was pro KM.

 

[kiwiwolf]

Aaaah Brainsmasher... Andrew Dice Clay and Terri (I've got cleavage to spare) Hatcher. What a movie, what a love story, what a classic.

It beats me why it never got any Oscar nominations... I personally thought that the third Chinese hood from the left in the flyover scene was awesome. He could have taken the Oscar for third Chinese hood from the left in a flyover scene.

Very ecclectic selection here Muffin...

 

[JUDO]

My tops...

I mostly go in for older flicks. I'm one of the many who say "They just don't make 'em like they used to."

Philadelpha Story - I wish for once I could find and wear clothes like Traci Lords (Oh, yes, the lead female character played by a young Kate Hepburn).

Ghandi - Three hours an itermission and an incredible performance by Ben Kingsley. As violent as he is in "Sexy Beast" it's nothing compared to the look of hatred on the pacifist's face looking into the well after the British ambushed his people.

Young Frankenstein - "Yes! Say it! He was my boyfriend!" Never fails to crack me up.

Star Wars - Nothing has compared to the original. Besides it was the first time we heard the immortal line, "I've got a bad feeling about this."

Lawrence of Arabia - If you aren't in love with Peter O'Toole after this movie, you can't be a romantic.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being" - All I have to say is Lena Olin, Juliette Binoche and Daniel Day-Lewis in an incredibly sexy three-way relationship. And all before they were "stars." It's long, yes, but how beautiful is this picture?

Sudden Impact" - Yep, I'm a Dirty Harry fan. Clint the squint at the top of his form.

A Clockwork Orange - After the space thing and long before Johnny comes home, Stanley roamed the countryside having a bit o' fun.

Enchanted April - I'll bet no one's familiar with this one. Beautiful little Brit film set during WWI, but it's about the women left behind, sunshine in Italy and the healing power of love.

The Day the Earth Stood Still - I hope they never remake this one. Who could forget "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!"

**mumbles**

Damn...who told?

My favorite has to be Cats and Dogs.

I love those kitties.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I'm a hick, darlin. Clean jeans is my idea of formal wear.

What does "low brow" movie selections have to do with wit and intelligence anyway?

 

[MissTaken]

"What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" has always been a backdoor favorite of mine.

There you have romance, family conflict, moral conflict, death and destruction.

Then, Leonardo di Caprio plays a mentally handicapped kid. Very cool!

Ya gotta love that!

 

[bored1]

On The Beach,The movie that made me want to move to Austrailia, True Grit, As I really like John Waynes character!He was fun to watch. Shane, Come back Shane! Lawrence of Arabia, Still interesting and relevent today. Full Metal Jacket. Unforgiven. My all time favorite Eastwood movie. You aint gona shoot me,are ya Will? Shoot You? Your the only friend I got left kid.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Rooster Cogburn!!!! I loved that one! Katherine Hepburn is on of my favorite actors.

Rooster was cool I certainly appreciate the character more now than I did in 1969!
