Okay, I'm on my own tonight no chicas. What movie should I rent?

I'm partial to Westerns and Sci- Fi. hmmm... I do already have Serenity in the house...

glatt · 08-04-2006, 03:00 PM

Seen Fifth Element lately?

Griff · 08-04-2006, 03:01 PM

ooooo...not since the theatre, I think.

Ibby · 08-04-2006, 03:02 PM

Serenety = Teh Pwn. If you like it, Try for the Firefly series that it's based on.

Today I've watched about five episodes of Pete & Pete, a couple Red Dwarfs, Half Baked, and Waynes World... So I can't really think of anything else, off the top of my head.

Flint · 08-04-2006, 03:21 PM

(if you like to be...confused by your sci-fi)

Griff · 08-04-2006, 03:42 PM

I like to be challenged by my sci-fi. Is this one poorly thought out, haphazardly shot, or simply tough to get a mind around?

Flint · 08-04-2006, 03:45 PM

It's shot just fine, minimal sets required to communicate the conceptually challenging idea.

I saw the series not long ago. (really good!)

Clodfobble · 08-04-2006, 04:02 PM

If you could somehow get the new Battlestar Galactica series from wherever you rent your movies, I'd really highly recommend the pilot movie and/or first season-and-a-half.

Griff · 08-04-2006, 04:30 PM

I've got BG in my Netflix queue. I'm gonna be making Pete watch it. Thanks for the ideas!

Where do your movie tastes lie, griff? No chicas? To what do they object?

I like long foreign flicks.

Black Robe is awesome if you've got widescreen version.
Any Kurosawa
hell, there is a long list, but I've not got movies on the mind right now.

Throw us a frickin bone here.

I second the fifth element
fight club
Kung Fu Hustle - funny
Animal house
Harold and Maude

OOps, it's Saturday

Ibby · 08-05-2006, 09:29 AM

Oh man, Kung Fu Hustle... greatest kung-fu movie ever. It's the perfect blend of real kung-fu movie and spoof.

Have you seen Shaolin Soccer? Alot of the same cast, has the same "feel" to it as KFH, probably a previous effort by the director or producer. Try it, you'll like it.

Is that a feature length film? I saw about five minutes of it on youtube or metacafe. It was pretty funny, the parts I saw.
