More!
WOW!
Nice list you've all got going there! I have seen half or more of them, and it is nice to see
that others have also appreciated their unique qualities!
It's hard to think of something not already listed.... I apologize if someone already mentioned these:
I might add Time Bandits, Something Wicked this way Comes, and one more mainstream: American Beauty.
For a bit more Camp/bizarre, I would add Time Bandits, Mars Attacks & Brazil.
(Perhaps easier to follow than Naked Lunch was!...well, Brazil is a bit wacked too tho!)
For barely stupid fun, Killer Clowns from Outerspace.
My All-Time Favorite has to be Forbidden Planet!
A great movie of Matrix quality, but
only for its underlying phylisophical concept. :devil:
It is a movie (unlike most) that would actually benefit by being remade!
[As the Matrix (original movie) is based on the premise that the world around us is not simply the "concrete reality" we perceive that it is. (an idea which some philosophies and "off-mainstream religious beliefs" have followed since eons ago) ]
Forbidden Planet isn't "great" by any means, but I like movies that are a bit "Perceptive",
as the
first Matrix and the
first Star Wars movies were.
I would have to say those types of movies are the ones I like best for more than just pure entertainment (ie: Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter/Stardust),
which are GREAT entertainment,
but I also love when a movie presents some philosophy that touches revealingly on life itself.
Well, I do hope others have more input, as I am jotting down some other movies I've NOT seen before, and might just want to see!
Nice thread! Better than I thought it would be! (I passed over looking at it for a while, for lack of time and such.)
Take care all!
