... and Hackers- no one's mentioned that yet- and its so brilliant in that bad 80s movie kind of thing

Spenguin

Hackers... I think I've seen that. Is it the one that there is this long haired punk hacker and at the end they are in the pool and all the lights spell something... I can't remember it all that well.

nosmo

Hackers.. God I love that film.. A true exercise in retro gratuity.

And Matthew Lillard 0wn3z3d me in that film.

God

ll=llannah

A true exercise in retro gratuity.

precisely, my dear, precisely

and its even funnier when:
a) you get all the Stuy jokes (they're supposed to go to Stuyvesant high school- a school in downtown nyc- its absolutely huge- but i digress)
b) when you have to explain to your friends that J0lt was not just a prop for the commercial on the tv in the film and that something called J0lt that one drinks actually exists.

nosmo

And the technical innacuracies! And the fact the superfast modem in Angelina Jolie's laptop atcually is measured in bits per second.. And Cyberdelia! And the fact that after the film, the school was filled with kids with roller blades and jolt

Crash

Heh, hugh out of interest, how many times did we watch that movie while drinking coke and reading old files on hacking etc. when we were 12? ah memories

s0l

Spenguin

Thats the one! i remember now. If only I could remember the storyline though...

Barry Aldwell

The plot also eludes me. Summarisation, anyone?

Spenguin

Umm, I suppose they are hackers, so that isn't meant to be good, but then only they can save the world from some evil computer thing and then they win and the world loves them. Tell me if I'm somewhat close? I'm just guessing here...

s0l

This is a, uh, shortened version of the movie using screen shots of it.... it's got a little, er, ad libbing

Barry Aldwell

The Matrix one is funnier.

Zukustious

It's been a while since I've seen it but Dogma! Damn that was a good movie.

Spenguin

Whoa I was off. I have no idea whats going on...

mentalimplosion

badlands is cool... but i was headachey whilst watching it... so it didn't make sense, cuz i couldn't understand the accents. the same thing happened in spirited away. the lesson? never watch films whilst headachey

mentalimplosion

i saw american history x last week, and that was great. it, along with spirited away, is the only film that made me cry, cuz ER doesn't count as a film.

Spenguin

ER makes you cry?? Okee dokee then. The only film that I can remember making me cry is 'jack' starring robin williams. The scene when they won't take the basketball from him because they think he's a freak, and he hides in the pipe, and the girls poke him with a stick and then he's all alone and he looks really sad made me cry... Then later on they made him and all his pervert friends make the movie less sad so I didn't like it anymore. But still, that one scene got to me. Oo, 'The emperors new groove' is my favourite disney movie. You wouldn't think it would be so incredibly funny if it was rated U but i loved that film so much.
YAY, I'M A LLAMA AGAIN!!
Brilliant. Lilo and stich wasn't bad either.

I cried at the end of Saving Private Ryan. I also cried at the end of The Land Before Time, but I was 5 at the time.

mentalimplosion
