Yeah, I love it! But DMC also now claims to like it... trying to fit in with the cool kids again. :p Oh well, at least that's one more, even if it is him. :p

I have tried to find Paradise Alley on DVD, but it is not available yet. As for FIST, I have that on DVD. Do you own a DVD player TIS?

Lords Of Flatbush. Yes. SC and I discussed this movie over in another thread recently. Here is something that I wrote that may interest you :
__________________________________________________
A lot of actors came from that movie SC!

Perry King
Sylvestor Stallone
Susan Blakely
Dolph Sweet
Ray Sharkey
Henry Winkler
Armand Assante

I believe that Stallone was even a writer for the movie.

Do you know that story of how Lords Of Flatbush played a role in Stallone's success with Rocky?
After doing Lord's, Stallone was broke and unable to get any good roles. He had $100 left from making Lord's. So he used that money to buy a ticket to see a fight between Mohammad Ali & Chuck Wepner. Wepner was a down and out bartender from Bayonne, known as "The Bayonne Bleeder and Ali's people gave him a shot at the title. After seeing the fight and reading abour Wepner, Stallone came up with the idea of the Rocky character, which is loosley based on Wepner. He wrote the Rocky story but the major motion picture companies wanted another actor to play Rocky, and they wanted to buy the rights to the character from Stallone. He refused to compromise his character's story and insisted that he play the title role. The movie studios said no. So he went and got some small financial backing, went to the other actors (that eventually played in the movie) and made a deal with them that if the movie was a success, he would give them money based on what the movie made. They agreed! The big movie studios and bigwigs in hollywood all said that his Rocky movie would be a failure. The rest is history!

How would you like to have a failure like that one!

"Memento"

None of my friends or family like this movie. The only people who like this movie is some of you guys

I thought Memento was a great film, and subsequently have made almost everyone I know watch it. Most of them have really liked it too.

You and DP should see Nolan's other two films, which I think are great, Following and Insomnia. Following's narrative is random, as if he was experimenting, but by the end you'll be glad you watched it.

I've been wanting to see Insomnia, but have heard mixed reviews, and I hadn't really heard anything about the Following.

Insomnia is great, even for a remake. Nolan's direction is excellent in showing the effects of insomnia and combined with good acting and story, makes it great. David Julyan who did the music for these three movies does a similar sound to Memento here.

Following is not very known. It was an indie-film Nolan did with his friends and is out on DVD, it's a movie from 1998.

I can't believe some of the titles that you guys are listing? Who doesn't like Memento!? I've never heard of this (and I even work at a video store)

DV, Insomnia was a good movie. Pacino and Robin Williams were good. It wasn't great like I was hoping but definitely a good movie.

Basically everyone I show Memento to ends up liking it. Then there are people who just hate it.

DC,

I knew about Sly being broke when he did Rocky, and that nobody wanted him to star in it, but didn't know all the details. Thanks for the info

I do have a DVD player, and would like FIST, but please don't go to any trouble, as I can probably buy it thru Amazon no???

TIS

Paradise Alley is a real guilty pleasure of mine. That rain-drenched finale is fantastic.

And, staying with Sly, Lock Up was probably the first film I saw which I considered marvellous. Films watched since have dented my view of it, but I'd happily watch it again to pass a few hours by.

Mick

Fear and Loating in Las Vegas. I read the novel a few years ago, and immediatly went out to see the film. Everytime I bring it up though, 9 out of 10 times I get a look that say's "I bet you do lot's of drugs."

I put one of my favorite quotes from the film in my signature today, in memory of Hunter S. Thompson.

I am definitely going to have to see Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas. After being impressed with Depp's recent performance in Secret Window and Blow, I'm putting it on my "must see" list.


TIS

That Thing You Do w/Tom Hanks.

I don't think this is necessarily a movie nobody likes but, An American Werewolf In London. I love that movie.
