Movies:
Any film made during the 1930s.
Any film made by the great Charles Chaplin
Any film starring the great Lon Chaney, Sr.
STRICTLY BALLROOM: starring Paul Mercurio. Whatever happened to that guy?
CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC: starring Valerie Perrine, Steve Guttenberg, Bruce Jenner and THE VILLAGE PEOPLE. If for no other reason than to watch the YMCA and Milkshake numbers over and over again.
SHAKES THE CLOWN: starring Bobcat Goldthwait, Julie Brown, Florence Henderson and LaWanda Page. This movie is underrated and fucking brilliant.
DARK PASSAGE: starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and that hot piece of ass, Agnes Moorhead. This movie is everything you love about the Bogart/Bacall combo, but with the added energy of Moorhead!
Nearly any film starring the FOUR MARX BROTHERS kicks ass over any other filmed comedy.
My favorite '80s teen flick is JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: starring the totally hot Joyce Hyser
PLANET OF THE APES: starring Charleton fucking Heston, Roddy McDowell, Kim Hunter and Maurice Evans. This movie tells it like it fucking is.
LOGANS RUN: starring Michael York, Peter Ustinov and featuring totally hot Farrah Fawcett-Majors. This movie tells it like it fucking is too.
All the BILLY JACK films: starring Tom Laughlin. This collection REALLY tells it like it fucking is.
The Paul Thomas Anderson films are all amazing:
HARD EIGHT
BOOGIE NIGHTS
MAGNOLIA
PUNCH DRUNK LOVE
