I liked The Grifters. Pretty heavy flick, though. Wrong people dying and so forth...

Oh, and as I've said on many occasions, Grosse Pointe Blank is one of my all-time faves. The dialog is so witty.

"When are you authorized to use deadly force?" (to a neighborhood security guy

)

Looks like we have another movie to add to the list:
- Brazil
- Airplane
- Clue
- Rat Race
- Eating Raoul
- Blue Velvet
- Being John Malkovich
- Polyester
- Soylent Green
- Memento
- Delicatessen
- Grosse Pointe Blank

Doh!

I hate being a newbie and jumping into threads inappropriately. Many apologies to all.

You will love Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag and Grosse Point Blank...and if not, you have a money back guarentee on this recommendation.

I'm soo looking forward to see those films - and I'm sure you can keep your money!

Oh - I just thought about another great one!
"The Crying Game"
Anyone??

Bill · 10-31-2002, 06:55 PM

I haven't seen the Crying Game. I remember it being advertised though.

Has anyone else here seen One Night at McCool's?

lobeck · 10-31-2002, 06:57 PM

Yep...add it to the list, Modesty...saw it and liked it...definitely offbeat...

Modesty · 10-31-2002, 07:07 PM

- Brazil
- Airplane
- Clue
- Rat Race
- Eating Raoul
- Blue Velvet
- Being John Malkovich
- Polyester
- Soylent Green
- Memento
- Delicatessen
- Grosse Pointe Blank
- The Crying Game

Cool, lobeck

- I loved it anyway!
What about "The Full Monty" - does it count as off-beat?

"One Night at McCool's" - have to check it out on imdb, I'm not sure...

Bill · 10-31-2002, 07:16 PM

Ahh... The Full Monty.

I'd say that has to be off-beat. Pretty funny movie too.

British comedy's require a lot of attention to keep up with the dialog, but a couple more good one's are Snatch (with Brad Pitt for you ladies) and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.
