I love the question, Misa.J!
See, Mycernius, hahaha....that's exactly what Maciamo was trying to avoid....
Seriously, Misa.J, I think the question is flawed. And that's what I like about it.
It's really intimidating, like a guy on death row 5 hours before execution being asked who are the 5 people you'd like to talk to before you leave...it's just too much..makes you vulnerable and intimidated...definitely not for the proud, vain, or faint-hearted....
I like to fool around and make mistakes.
1. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Defiant Jack Nicholson, yay!
2. Nightmare Before Christmas: Excellent music and lyrics, better than the musicals! The Boogie man is still scary, and I love the recurring air of the rag doll! The film version of art rock!
3. B****
ne by the Cohen brothers, where the NY playwright comes to California and meets interesting people...John Goodman playing the friendly yet unintelligble madman...the hero ends up with a lady's head (the lover) in a box by the beach, but that's in the picture on the wall...this one's kind of like the grown ups' version of Alice in Wonderland. I forgot the title..
4. Mailman: A German film, a mailman keeps all the mail he's supposed to deliver. It's really crazy, but the story is so enticing, I wanted to own a copy...forgot the real title...especially the scene about the fake Nazi art collectors comes to mind...(anybody?)
5. *****: this has the famous scene where one of two guys, in his desperation to help a friend in dire situation pulls out the whole porcelain and throws it out the window at the villain...Fight Club was good, but I think this one was even better...again, forgot the title (help!)
EDIT: Can I add a sixth, Misa.J?
You don't have to answer that. I just needed an excuse!
6. Falling Down: Michael Douglas playing the laid-off defense engineer who pretends to go to work everyday just to keep mom happy...My favorite scene is when he goes nuts in a fast food joint complaining about the barrenness of the Whammy burger without lettuce and tomatoes, and points at the exaggerated photo (That's exactly how I feel when at a MacDonal's looking at the BigMac: it's not big at all, and doesn't have the tomatoes, my favorite vegetable)...and of course when he gets cross with the neo-nazi arms dealer...a bit sad at the end, but the betters scenes make up for that...
