You want a good family film? My dad took me to a movie called Rising Sun when I was 3rd grade or something. Anyways, in that movie, a chick gets milked like a cow and some guy drinks the milk in a glass. It was sooo awesome in my 9 year old mind.

More proof cheebs is gay: he likes Shrek

TVC, have you seen the miniseries I, Claudius?  I'm borrowing it from my aunt this Xmas, it's supposed to be really good (unlike Caligula).

I don't really like the Princess Bride. However, I recognize that it's at least okay, unlike Ferris Bueller or Goonies.

I'm glad to meet someone who shares my dislike for Bueller.  I wanted to punch Matthew Broderick's face in.

Dude, Caligula is pretty awesome in the So Bad It's Awesome sense.  I was glued to my laptop for 2 hours.  I could not tear myself away.

And I too think Ferris Bueller sucks ass.

His girlfriend in the movie was fuckin' hot.  She did a lot of nudity in other movies. :drool

Title: Re: Greatest Family Film Ever?

Yeah, it's while he was pretending to have a breakdown while he saw Ferris's girlfriend get naked.

Robin Williams is the 80s equivalent of Zach Braff, though.  Shitty actor from a shitty comedy series trying to do a serious role!

No no no, Good Will Hunting is actually a pretty decent movie.   Keep in mind that I am a Big Gay Gus Van Sant fan tho.

Also when he looks at the Georges Seurat painting and it zooms in on the individual points of colour and its a metaphor for his shattered soul  :violin

Garden State is far worse than Beuller.  They're both obnoxious films but only one of them regards itself as something truly great. 
Title: Re: Greatest Family Film Ever?
Post by: Van Cruncheon on November 22, 2007, 02:16:08 AM
yeah. bueller is stupid, awkward, and grating, but it isn't even a quarter as pretentious as garden state.
Title: Re: Greatest Family Film Ever?
Post by: Ichirou on November 22, 2007, 02:21:01 AM
John Hughes movies blow.  Bueller isn't even the very worst one, that honor probably goes to Breakfast Club or 16 Candles.  I have a special hatred for Matthew Broderick, tho, probably due to that movie alone.

Didn't the principle in Ferris Bueller get arrested for some pedophilia-related crime a while back?

Or am I just propagating an urban myth?
Title: Re: Greatest Family Film Ever?
Post by: Ichirou on November 22, 2007, 03:16:42 AM
Yeah, Jeffrey Jones.  He did get arrested for possessing pedo materials, along with Pee-Wee Herman.  I read about it, and I was surprised to see he got hired for Deadwood despite the fact that he had those charges hanging over his head.

Eh Pee-wee herman got arrested unfairly for that from everything I read. He had a massive paintings collection and got arrested cause he had paintings with naked kiddies on them. If you wanna masturbate to naked kids I doubt you would go about doing that to 400+ year old paintings.

Plus the famous incident in the 90's was to grown up porn, not kiddie porn.

16 candles and better off dead are classics
Title: Re: Greatest Family Film Ever?
Post by: Ichirou on November 23, 2007, 09:22:54 AM
No John Hughes movie can be considered a "classic."

Let's take a quick scan at some of the works in the man's filmography (stuff he either wrote, produced, directed, or all of the above):

Mr. Mom
Sixteen Candles
The Breakfast Club
Pretty in Pink
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Some Kind of Wonderful
She's Having a Baby
Home Alone
Home Alone 2
Home Alone 3
Curly Sue
Beethoven
Beethoven's 2nd
Maid in Manhattan

John Hughes defines cinematic mediocrity for comedies in the same way that Ron Howard does for dramatic films.

Why did you leave off Planes, Trains, and Automobiles? Perhaps his best movie.

And Weird Science and Uncle Buck! Why do you put unknown shit of his in there but leave off some of his better work?
Title: Re: Greatest Family Film Ever?

Because it disagrees with my thesis.  If facts disagree with your hypothesis, pretend those facts don't exist.  I learned that from your hero Karl Rove. :shh
