OT - So what movie/DVD is a must see?

kennerb · Post by **kennerb** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 5:24 am

or at least a decent one to rent.

I haven't been able to think of one that I am burning to see so I figured I'd ask all of you. Since you all come from so many different places around the world and have different experiences yet share the love of music there should be some good ones that I would not have thought of myself. Nothing too obscure though cause I don't want to go on a snipe hunt. Oh and it doesn't have to be music related, just something that influenced you or was at least entertaining.

I thought it lacked the furvour of Anal Sluts 8.

Anyway, I just dove into the HBO series 6 feet under on DVD, starting with season 1 this week. The characters ae amazing. If you need to waste your time with TV, it's pretty fulfilling entertainment.

If not,

Try anything by Wes Anderson of course. Or pretty much anything with Owen Wilson. Personal preferences, of course.

It's pretty sad how we can sit around with our friends and come up with great movies to watch.. then you go to the McVideo store and stand there like an idiot, walking out with horrid drivel such as "stealth." Then you watch it, and wonder why you went to the video store in the first place.

Sorry, that's probably just me (:

Anchorman. It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.

Good Night and Good Luck. Great flick, akin to Thirteen Days (another good one)

EEkevin - I like your style. 3 of my all time favourites.

Might I suggest an excellent french movie (english subtitles) called Irreversible. Fuckin' outstanding.

I just think it's sweet
