[Nasty_Magician]

You mean aside from Forrest Gump?

 

[SLY]

That was a damn good one too... It was a tough choice between the two. If I were to pick 3.

1. Blow
2. Forrest Gump
3. The Crow

 

[esls79]

I remember the first time I saw Blow- I ppv'd it on Halloween of 2000 while I was in college. I skipped all my classes that day, and watched it twice. My favorite scene was where Depp's character Jung goes to court and sings the Dylan tune It Aint Me Babe to the judge. I haven't seen the movie since then, btw.

Anyways, I drove an hour and a half to Madison, WI that evening as we had tickets to the Bob Dylan concert. (If you ever have a chance to go to Madison on Halloween, do it) He opened the show with It Aint Me Babe.

 

[puckhead]

Singles - seattle scene in a bottle. introduced me to screaming trees and smashing pumpkins
Cat People - Bowie + Gorgio Moroder. cool, dark, awesome
Reservoir Dogs - one thing QT does very well is pairs music to his films
Romeo is Bleeding - mark isham, very cool jazz trumpet tones
Paris Texas - Ry Cooder and a slide guitar. what more can you ask for

Funny movie. HDN is more like a documentary where Help is a comedy.
