in the theatre!
If you want to put "The Full Monty" on the list, I'm with you too

The other ones you mentioned I haven't seen

British comedy's require a lot of attention to keep up with the dialog

I think *any* off-beat movie require a lot of attention...

(that's my qualifier

Best in Show, for sure! We have that DVD and never get tired of seeing it! Just thinking about Catherine O'Hara at the end (walking up to Eugene Levy) makes me

I thought Guffman was superior to Best In Show, but they're both good. Bill, you and I have very similar tastes in movies. Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels was very enjoyable, as was Snatch.

I'd put Heathers as a top offbeat movie, too. I don't see it on the list. There are so many classic lines from that movie.

Just saw Agent's sig line!

I would like to put a plug in for Repo Man. Anyone else see it?

Bill · 11-01-2002, 01:31 PM

I've seen Repo Man, with Emilio Estevez....or is it Emilio Sheen? I get them more mixed up than the Baldwin brothers.

Paulie: I agree that Guffman is even better than Best in Show, but they both have me rolling on the floor.

Here's another:

Drop Dead Gorgeous

It has Kirsti Alley, Kirsten Dunst, and Denise Richards. Three people I usually would not turn to for entertainment of the laughing variety, but that movie just cracks me up. Has anyone else seen it?

lobeck · 11-01-2002, 02:08 PM

I've seen DDG, Bill, and I agree...it is hysterical!
