This is never not funny:
Steven : Can I get a knife or fork?
Wench : There were no utensils in medieval times, hence there are no utensils AT Medieval Times. Would you like a refill on that Pepsi?

It was gutwrenching and I loved it. I watched it during my Lost Years, which may have intensified its impact on me. I don't know that I could sit through it now that I am a parent.

i'd rather eat cat #### with a knitting needle than sit through Carey's earlier clowning (looking at YOU Ace Ventura, The Mask) ... D & D worked for me, was impressed by MoTM - but this one, holy ####!
we spoke of the exaggerated thesp turns that go awry, if not bat#### off the rails - but Cable Guy hits every sweet spot that i love in a sit.
Broderick, who i find to be wooden as #### (yeah, sniveling Bueller can eat me) actually uses it to his great advantage as the ultimate straight guy - this pairing might be the pinnacle of the trope, as far as latter day comedy flix are concerned.
can't praise Carey enough here - an unhinged existential empath kamikaze - or complete psycho?
i'd have a karaoke throwdown with his crew ... anti-hero in a comedy, that performance took a ton of chops and a gymnasium full of balls ... will seek this one out, and i never pass it by when playing.
11/10 with a bullet.

Keenan in the interrogation room:
"I'm in the restaurant business now"
"no, you're in the getting ####ed by US business now"

I like Hockney's interrogation better. (paraphrasing from memory)Keenan in the interrogation room:
"I'm in the restaurant business now"
"no, you're in the getting ####ed by US business now"
Cop: "We can place you in Queens on the night of the heist"
Hockney: "Oh yeah? I live in Queens. You think of that all by yourself?"

I have never seen Cable Guy. Heavy hitters up in here recommending it. I suppose I should fix that.

I'm with you. Another cringe comedy I couldn't get behind. Probably for similar reasons to yours, too, which I won't elaborate too much on.
Uncomfortable at best.
I still think of beans and franks every time I'm zipping a zipper though, damn it. I guess it gets a thumbs up for memorableness.

treat yourself ... i think it's right up your alley
i called it "tedious upon rewatch", which was met with chagrin by our fine hosts.
big zippo on the memorable meter for me ... if not for Warren that thing gets totally shot down.

I have no idea what I would think of There’s Something About Mary now but it was so funny that I will never forget my first time seeing it. It was just my GF and I in her basement just absolutely rolling in laughter. It might be a Usual Suspects thing where if I put it on now I’m far less entertained but I have to give respect to the first watch.

My first watch got stopped a lot because of the cringe factor. When I finally finished it, I was relieved, but the ending made me consider the somewhat stalker-ish and deceit-loving premise, and I didn't care for it too much when I considered that.
One of my rare empathetic moments for stuff like that. None of those guys deserved her, really. I guess that's part of what the movie was trying to convey, but that it reveled in humor based on total deception and following an unwitting person around struck me as a little off.

I don’t think I have seen Cable Guy either. I like a good chunk of Carrey’s stuff — not sure why that one escaped me.

i can buy this ^
but i swung in the other direction - Mary was nowhere near worth the effort(s), imo - can't buy the premise if the chick is so underwhelming.
a muse who pounds brewskis, farts, loves sports, and rooms with a seahag?
no thanks, i already have a younger brother.

I've started but then been interrupted for whatever reason and never gave it a fair watch. Always considered it a dud even though I couldn't tell you thing one about it.

I had a similar first experience, but rewatched part of it recently. I say part cause I turned it off. Teenage MAC loved it, but adult MAC thinks it aged horribly.

I thought that you were so much older then, you're younger than that now.

I guess I thought that was part of the draw with Mary - super hot, successful, but doesn't mind drinking beers and watching sports. Point taken about living with Magda, still not sure how that happens.

Hockney: #### your father in the shower and then have a snack? Are you going to charge me ########?

if any woman i ever hooked up with said "turn on Sportscenter" i woulda bolted like the Flash - sorry, not my cuppa, never will be. nothing attractive about that at all.
as far as the brewskis, maybe i was too hard, but i was lumping it in context with the other red flags.
chick wants to get bombed and watch flix or groove to music ... or get "biblical" (infantile that i have to go that route on this bored), then, sure ... pound away, ####face.

I’m not a major movie aficionado by any means, but one of my favorite films of the 90s — which I didn’t see until I got Netflix in the 00s — is kind of obscure and may not have been seen by either of you. I’ll go to bat for it at the end of the countdown if it doesn’t show up on the list. I figure it won’t, but we’ll see.

Love Matt Dillion's character after he gets over-sized dental implants to impress Mary then heads to a bar where the bartender sees him, scoffs and asks:
"Whadda YOU want Choppers?"
Kills me every time.

I miss Ebert. I was looking up the comedy quote, and didn't know this was a full quote from him:
“There are two things you can’t argue in film: comedy and eroticism. If something doesn’t make you laugh, no one can tell you why it’s funny, and it’s difficult to reason someone out of an erection.”

I will admit, I thought I was going to take a lot more heat for Cable Guy.

My guess is no. I would say as far as "obscure" all we have left is 80s #2 and #3 movies. After that, I would say there are surprises and landmines, but nothing that people haven't mostly heard of. Possible it's on one of our lists, but farther down and didn't make the cut for the countdown.
Regardless, you have me intrigued now.

I've told the story, I met him at the University of Colorado back in the early 90s in an elevator. He showed up every Spring to attend CU's conference on World Affairs where he'd personally screen a film.
I attended his screening that year where he showed Raging Bull, my first time seeing the film. I was sitting in the first row five feet from Rodger Ebert who was screening the film to a packed crowd of students.
Repeat, FIRST TIME WATCHING RAGING BULL and Rodger Ebert was basically personally screening it for me. Bliss
Oh and Ebert got married. You have to see his documentary.

It’s going to be 60 and sunny here today so I probably won’t be around much. I might just let the weekend settle in a bit.KarmaPolice said:I've already forgotten what I posted last night, but @Ilov80s is up with his #3 movie whenever he wants to post that. It's a rainy, miserable day here so I am fighting the impulse to post a bunch of movies.

I briefly dated a girl who was really into sports, especially NFL and the Steelers. I thought it would be awesome but I agree that it actually ended up being annoying and a turn off. If she looked like Cameron Diaz I wouldn’t have minded so much.otb_lifer said:if any woman i ever hooked up with said "turn on Sportscenter" i woulda bolted like the Flash - sorry, not my cuppa, never will be. nothing attractive about that at all.

I always felt bad for one customer. He had those forearm crutches for walking and always came in every few days to rent various soft porn movies like Femalien and stuff like that

Well the sun is gone so let me throw out the next movie, one that was top 10 on my list but I don't think KP has seen. It's actually been a difficult film to see but I highly encourage people to check it out.
#37-A Brighter Summer Day
It's story is similar to City of God. It's a sprawling look at the life of poor kids in 1950s and 60s Taiwan. They run the streets, get in gang fights, fall in love, deal with pressure from the Communist Party, etc. Where it differs is in the style. This isn't highly stylized or hyper edited. It plays out like a novel.
