(Just for Jenae):
5 Really Great Movies ( and I HATE movies...)
Please bear in mind I am an Art snob...Watch these and if you don't like them I will reimburse you 15 dollars for the two hours of your life you will never get back per film. For an exhaustive list of movies please see facebook page of David M. Troup. It will bore your ass off. These won't:
BARFLY-Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway in the loosely autobiographical story of writer Charles Bukowski. "I'm tired of thinking about all the things I don't want to do....I'm tired of thinking about all the things I don't want to be...."
BILLY MADISONAdam Sandler's first and best. Ridiculous characters with Steve Buscemi, Chris Farley, Darrin McGavin, Norm McDonald and a whole bunch more. Get stupid.
CASABLANCABogart understands the abyss....ALLURING
Let's Spend the Night TogetherLovely film of the 1981 Rolling Stones Tour when they still aimed for the crotch. One film critic described the on screen appearance of Keith Richards and Ron Wood as looking like " a pair of diseased crows." Good schtuff there. :) Best enjoyed with a bottle of Rebel Yell Southern Sour Mash with a splash of ginger ale and some weed. But delightful sober as well. Watch Keith croon "Little T and A" or enjoy a romantic moment looking at the sunset over Sun Devil Stadium in Arizona as the love chords of "Beast of Burden" compel you to make out with the person next to you.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974 Original)If you give it a chance, you will see it is a suspense film more than anything else. Debut of Tobe Hooper who's low budget filming out of necessity only added to the effect. Also, really no gore or violence , gratutious topless girl /sex bull shit ....just an incredible last 1/2 hour of sheer panic. Also can be interpreted as an anti-Technology, pro Animal Rights statement. This film really created an entire genre. Try it around Halloween.
Drama, Comedy, Romance, Musical, Horror -that about covers it.
