I love Fear of a Black Hat... we used to watch that all the time in college.

Another great underrated movie is "Strictly Ballroom" directed by Baz Luhrman.

First in his Red Curtain series. This one dealt with dance as an artform, the second focused on the written word (Romeo & Juliet) and the third on music (Moulin Rouge, based on both La Boheme and Orpheus's decent).

Baz Luhrman is a fantastic director. Incredibly original.

The Long Riders: About the Younger Gang. A neat feature the gang was made up of brothers Younger's Miller's and the James's (Yes Jessie) any ways all the actors where real life brothers.

Excalibur: The best King Arthur movie ever period plane and simple I compare all to this film and they come up short. Merlin is portrayed in a way that is just cool. If you have not seen it and you like the King Arthur story line watch it.

Boy did you get those right. Especially Excalibur...Great movie.

Flesh.....I mean Flash Gordon :D

FLASH!! AHHHH!!! HE SAVE EVERY ONE OF US!!! :laugh2:

That whole "Long live Flash, you've saved your Earth! Have a nice day!" line at the end with Flash Gordon jumping into the camera is frigging fantastic! They just don't make cheese fest cult classics like that flick anymore.

Any thoughts on them?


Office Space is pretty funny and is well worth watching

They Call Me Bruce is freakin hilarious making fun of the karate movies
Look at me I am chinese with this hand I can rip out your eye haha funny stuff and of course he can not fight

They still call Me Bruce was lacking compared to the first one

Southern Comfort been a long time but if it is the 1981 about the National Guard in the swamps it was ok nothing great

"Southern Comfort" Is the one with the gaurd and I have seen it many times and I think it is very good.
