ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER!!!

Too bad High Heels hasn't been released in North America... my copy of it was taped off of Showtime in the mid-90's.

Alright, what are the chances of someone else voting in this thread now? Since there are no comic book or Michael Bay movies here, I think you may be the only person weighing in.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #3 on:** July 29, 2007, 10:55:25 PM »

It's typically a battle between Almodovar and Wong Kar-Wai for me, but Pedro is a more consistent and proven director.

VOLVER SO GOOD OMG

Actually, ALL of his stuff is awesome.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #5 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:11:28 PM »

Volver is awesome, and earns distinction for being on Blu Ray.

And Bad Education is as close as you'll ever get to a gay Hitchcock movie.

Hmmm, I compare all male actors to how Leaud looked in his prime. How does this Gael Garcia guy compare?

Ichirou · « **Reply #7 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:25:30 PM »

Live Flesh has at least one pretty hot sex scene and a ridiculous (but in an awesome way) story. Watch that one. Unfortunately Penelope Cruz's role is barely a cameo.

He was in Motorcycle Diaries, Science of Sleep, and Y Tu Mama Tambien. I'm sure you saw one of those.

Watch Live Flesh, man...it's got Javier Bardem!

TVC15 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:31:59 PM »

COME ON PEOPLE. Agree on one movie!

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #11 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:33:04 PM »

Volver has two hot chicks in it right? I'd go with that.

TVC15 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:36:04 PM »

But what about this hottest man on the planet that isn't Leaud? He's not in that one!

Ichirou · « **Reply #13 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:39:46 PM »

Watch the more obscure Almodovar films first, TVC, and build up to the really famous ones like Talk To Her, Volver, All About My Mother, etc.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #14 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:41:27 PM »

Track down High Heels, so you can watch a drag queen eat a out a chick while she's wrapped around his head while standing up.

TVC15 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:41:53 PM »

Fuck you guys. You are no help. If you people don't come to some concensus by 9PM pacific time, I am just going to be forced to watch this here movie where Johnny Knoxville pretends to be a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow so he can get in the special olympics or whatever. You have that on your heads, now hammer this fucker out like you're 12 angry men.

also, I am adding the ADDITIONAL VIEWING OPTIONS and resetting the vote.

Ichirou · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:45:34 PM »

Billy Rygar's right, TVC. Whichever one you choose, they are all great movies. But you will choose Live Flesh.

TVC15 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:47:18 PM »

Okay, all is reset, come on you pedos!

Volver.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #23 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:48:15 PM »

I voted for All About My Mother, again, cause I roll like that.

I voted for Volver because it kind of sounds like Vulva.

WHO THE FUCK VOTED FOR THE RUZBEH?

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #27 on:** July 30, 2007, 02:02:14 AM »

when I worked at Blockbuster, I had a guy angrily return Live Flesh because it wasn't softcore porn.

"You should mark that it ain't en english on there."
"Sir, the box says 'subtitles'."
(guy storms off with suitably sleazy fare)

I swear that actually happened.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #28 on:** July 30, 2007, 02:15:26 AM »

I read the back of the box for volver and put it back on the shelf. Sounds like some Travelling Pants of the Ya Ya Sisterhood's Fried Green Tomato type movie.

So what did you watch? I NEED CLOSURE

I watched the new episode of Entourage and the last episode of Jekyll. I will do Pedro tonight. THE VOTE CONTINUES!

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #32 on:** July 30, 2007, 02:16:33 PM »

Mexican directors' movies are too slow paced. I just don't feel them a lot of the time. They try too hard to be intellectual. But how smart can they be, they are still Mexicans? Pedro is not purely Mexican, but Spanish, Latino, Hispanic,etc are basically all the same.

TVC15 · « **Reply #33 on:** July 30, 2007, 02:18:06 PM »

You have hispanic people confused with women. See

Damn it, TVC, you might be homo but you were born from a woman too! Can't you ever give them some respect?

Talk To Her has creepy hot-naked-coma-chick nudity and a pathetic creepmeister who represents half of GAF. But I preferred Volver overall. Mmm, Penelope.
