A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Everybody ought to have seen Dr. Strangelove because it is funny.
On the other hand, I rewatched This Is Spinal Tap over the weekend because it was a Komedy Klassic. It still doesn't make me laugh. Perhaps it's because I don't watch the genre (rock documentary) it parodies.
Confession: I bought a VHS tape of Dr. Strangelove about 5 years ago at a yard sale. I still have not watched it. Sometimes, I pretend I have seen it, because for some reason, this embarrasses me. t /crazy
Hee! I love confession time! Here's mine: I don't really like The Maltese Falcon . My GF has much love of it and I know I should, too, but I just don't. It sorta bores me.
I saw Dr. Strangelove in high school, and I didn't get it. Maybe I would like it better now.
Spinal Tap is one of my top-10 favorite movies. I never thought of the humor in it as depending on knowing about rock music cliches, but maybe it does.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I don't watch a lot of rock documentaries either, and as such, maybe I didn't appreciate it as much, but it's still damn funny. "You can't dust...vomit."
I haven't seen The Maltese Falcon. Also, this is the time where I bring up the fact that I still haven't seen the Godfather movies, huh?
P-C, I've only seen the first. On basic cable, so it was probably edited.
It's not a film for everyone, but I love absolutely everything about it
Martin Scorcese's favorite Kubrick movie, and he's a professed Kubrick fan.
I just saw Dr. Strangelove recently and spent the entire time laughing like crazy. It's definitely a movie you have to be in the right mood for, though.
I think I saw Days of Heaven. With Robert Duvall, maybe? Set on a farm? I have a vague memory of watching a movie that looked like it was shot almost entirely at sunset, mostly memorable because I spent the whole movie being very frustrated that I couldn't see a damn thing that was happening.
