Fruhead Film Festival

If there were going to be a Fruhead film festival and you could put one film on the schedule what would it be. What I'm looking for is not your favorite movie. I'm looking for a film that you think most people haven't seen and should be exposed to.

urbania. i think michael and i are the only people on the face of the planet who have seen it.

*sticks to just one, because that's what the rule said, but it's HARD*

Either Requiem for a Dream or The Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness.

The Point!  The Point The Point The Point!!!

Donnie Darko!

Donnie Darko was great.

My chosen movie would be ....Enchanted April, probably.

I will third Donnie Darko. Tha movie fuckin 0wnz

I will fourth Donnie Darko. By far, my favourite movie ever. it should be mandatory viewing for everyone.

With it being fourth I think we can safely exclude DD from the "most people haven't seen category :-)

Seems to be! I think it might just be the fact that this is an odd group. A lot of people I've spoken to about it hadn't even heard of it.

OH MY GOD!!!! You've seen the Point?!?!?! The crazy cartoon with Oblio?!?!!?

there are a lot of point fans here...and a lot of people who all watched it together while wearing pointy jar-jar binks party hats. :)
my selection would be schizopolis. neal and i force it on everyone sooner or later.

You put that on the wrong list. Schizopolis should be on the worst movie list :-)

My god....I never imagined that I would find a group of people so well cultured in such odd cinema....

Of course I've seen The Point!  If I hadn't, would I have Oblio and Arrow as my thumbnail?

That's so beautiful...it makes me get all teary-eyed...seriously.

Ah! Thank you so much, Melissa!! :D There are two movies that I vividly remember watching when I was a kid, and I've been trying to find out what they were called so I could locate copies. And that is one of them! Sweet!!

Leon: The Professional - The International Version..such a great movie and the extra scenes definitely add to the love story. 

See, yeah, I haven't seen that. I've only seen the US version.

and i've only seen the international version :)

I'll second this big time. I love even the US version but the international cut is just even better. One of my favorite movies even though on the surface it seems to go against many of my typical tastes.

The Quiet Room

Silent Fall

Imaginary Crimes

M

Malpractice (1989 Australian movie for TV)

Jack and Sarah

Samantha

There was another movie I saw on the Independent Film channel where a husband and wife's baby dies and all their friends desert them after the death of the child. When one of her friends accidently calls her up and finds out she's pregnant again, then the woman on the other end thinks that everything is okay. The movie showed how friends are when you need them in a time of trouble. But I can't think of the film and I saw it twice. :\  If anyone knows it, post it here.

 

Ooh! I really liked M.

Also Soilent Green would be another good film!

But....SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE OF PEOPLE!!!!

Sehisly na, Charlton Heston? His entertainment value is in his flaws. I wouldn't include that one.

ooooh! That's what makes the movie so fun!

Who watches that movie for Charlton Heston?  It's all about Dick van Patton (i.e. Mr. Bradford).  He plays the doctor.

what about the great Edward G. Robinson? That was his last film.

and M was just on last night too on the independent film channel!

Peter Lorre *swoons!*

Harold and Maud.

you know, I just watched that the other day, and I must be missing something. because a lot of people seem to think it's a great movie, and I just found it corny and absurd, at best.

Oh....I thought that was what made it a great movie.
:)

How about Wierd Al Yankovic's UHF?

Hell yes! One of the best movies ever made!

I will ahve to second that Evid dead III Army of darkness aka the medieval dead. Of course that brands me a comic book sci-fi cult geek for saying it, but hey what can you do? Most of the fru heads I know worship this movie! But it would have to be the theatrical release, not the director's cut. The first one is funnier.

i SO think that 'a mighty wind' would be my contribution.

and i guess i don't have much more to say than that.

ooooooh...or willy wonka and the chocolate factory.....

and meliss, yay the point!!!!!

{is that out on DVD yet? want.}

It's gotta be a Christopher Guest night!  Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind and Waiting for Guffman and/or Best In Show!

there are people who haven't seen those? *shuns*

:)

Ugh... best in show....

Thanks for reminding me... *goes over to worst movie thread*

Has anyone here seen Stairway to Heaven aka A Matter of Life and Death?

If no one has as I suspect it's my choice. A brilliant movie that you are never sure is a fantasy. It could just be someone's delusions. Someone once said that if you don't like Stairway to Heaven then you aren't a romantic. It's a Powell/Pressburger film. Their most famous one is The Red Shoes. They were unique filmakers.

There's this movie that I was thinking of, but I can't remember the name, and I only really remember one scene, the scene is a guy running up these stairs with a gun, tripping and shooting himself in the head. Anyone know what movie that is?

Maybe Out of Sight? George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez?

I don't think Jennifer Lopez was in it. I'm not too sure about George Clooney though. It was one of those movies you could see him in, even if he wasn't actually in it.

I dunno. I just seem to remember near the end of the movie some guy was coming up to shoot one of them and tripped and shot himself.

Oh it's possible, I just don't remember Jennifer Lopez in it. Actually I don't remember too much about the film other than the guy tripping and shooting himself in the head. You're probably right. :^)
