One may be able to talk ones' self out of doing some gardening chores by simply watching "Little Shop of Horrors" prior to going into the garden

Yeah, the Coen's certainly are an acquired taste. Picked up "Blood Simple" for less than $10. Quirky, creepy and tense.

Okay, gonna go find "Being There." Been on my list of movies to get for quite some time.

Surprised no one's mentioned any old Woody Allen ones




Happened across "What's Up Tiger Lilly?" late one night and woke everyone up with my laughter. Had no idea what the heck it was about at the time, just channel surfing, but loved it. Later found out it was Woody Allen. I've seen a lot of his later films in the theater, and they are mostly playing to empty houses. Not many agree with his personal life.

As far as I'm concerned... Trey Parker (and Matt Stone) are pure genius's. I know most ppl think they are too dirty but virtually everything they've ever done has real meaning behind it. And its always too damn funny.

agreed, their political/social commentary is sorely under-appreciated. They do write intelligently - even if the odd "poop" joke sneaks in under the radar.

I will never look at puppets the same way again.

"Team America" was way over-the-top, and took the jokes way-too-far, but that's what I liked best about it. Can't we all be a little non-PC in the comfort of our own home?

I admit to being one of the few who saw "Orgasmo" in the theater. Took my date to see it. hehe.

I may be in the minority here, but I still love watching any Charlie Chaplin movie. Has that magical humorous quality that transcends age and language barriers.

Buster Keaton's silents are also excellent. Very funny physical comedy. Some truly awe-inspiring stunts. Still amazing to watch. Those were the days of "real" stunts.

Plus ... They are great movies for showing off the low level detail of your speakers
