5 mythical heroes
I recently saw The Fall by Tarsem Singh. Here is the first few minutes of the film, played with Beethoven’s seventh as background. The film reminds me of Jodorowsky’s visual fireworks & Tarkowsky magical story-telling.
Roger Ebert called it one of the most extraordinary films I've ever seen
By the way, you can download it, as well as any other movie you wish (including all new releases) on this or on many other similar Chinese sites…

I'm looking for recommendations of movies to show at a movie party. I'd like to find films that are completely out there and just offensively weird and absurd in a way that would allow us all to comment on just how absurd they are…Movies that are really good, artsy, serious, etc. don't work very well because nobody wants to say anything during a really good movie.

Rotten kids... you work your life out
...Everything... every single thing that took place in that courtroom, but I mean everything... says he's guilty. What d'ya think? I'm an idiot or somethin'? Why don't cha take that stuff about the old man; the old man who lived there and heard every thing? Or this business about the knife! What, 'cause we found one exactly like it? The old man SAW him. Right there on the stairs. What's the difference how many seconds it was? Every single thing. The knife falling through a hole in his pocket... you can't PROVE he didn't get to the door! Sure, you can take all the time hobblin' around the room, but you can't PROVE it! And what about this business with the El? And the movies! There's a phony deal if I ever heard one. I betcha five thousand dollars I'd remember the movies I saw! I'm tellin' ya: every thing that's gone on has been twisted... and turned. This business with the glasses. How do you know she didn't have 'em on? This woman testified in open court! And what about hearin' the kid yell... huh? I'm tellin' ya, I've got all the facts here...

My Million Dollar Movie
Casey wants to make a movie. He doesn’t know any studio executives or Hollywood power brokers and since necessity is the mother of invention, he figured out another way to come up with the money. So he’s turning to the public to offer them ownership of a piece of his film - My Million Dollar Movie

Re-post: Late Night With Conan O'Brien Picture Archive
If a bad movie has terrific costumes then actually it is a good movie, for obviously the reason the film was made was simply to showcase the outfits. Based on this reasoning, a flick like What a Way to Go is a rousing success.
