Dirty Recommendations

[grady]

The last three films playing on my DVD player. They're also three of my favorite films that would be found on a list of my top 15-25 films.

Me and you and everyone we know: The first film by Miranda July that came out this past summer. A wonderful, humorous and touching film. It's being released on DVD October 11th. Here is a link to the thread discussing the film earlier this summer on the forums.

THX-1138 (director's cut and original cut): George Lucas's first film that is quite good. Thanks to the inventive and enterprising bittorrent community over at myspleen.net I was able to get a DVD copy of the original cut of the film before Mr. Lucas went back and meddled with the film about a year ago, releasing his new 'director's cut' of the film. However, it must be noted that this was the one instance where Mr. Lucas meddled with his film and it wasn't detrimental to the film as a whole like the original star wars films.

Chungking Express: Wong Kar-Wai's fourth film that made a large splash for him on the international scene. A very simple film split into two seperate stories dealing with desire, loss, and longing. I really like this film.

I bought this dvd a few years ago, but have never finished it. Had to turn it off after 30 minutes because I thought it was too damn weird. Maybe I should give it another chance....
The thing that initially caught my eye was the Tarantino reference....

I'll second Me and You and Everyone We Know.

I think the second story is better (at least more straight forward; maybe not better) than the first; so you really should go back and take a look.

I second Requeim for a Dream!

and add:

>>DALLAS 362<<

It stars Scott Caan and Shawn Hatosy and it's a fucking blast. Very real conversations (like Tarrantino minus the nerdy hollywood stuff) and genuine laughs throughout. The supporting actors (Jeff Goldblum for one ) are all kick ass and wonderfully weird.

Check it out you'll be glad.

fear and loathing in las vegas

probaley the best dope movie with "stars" in

I'd like to think that most dirts have already seen Fear and Loathing, but I guess it's worth mentioning just in case someone hasn't, because it is one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of human expression. And also funny.
