No, you’re not. The first time I saw it, I was like “What the hell?” But after 2 or 3 watches, definitely.
“I’ll be taking these Huggies here, and whatever cash you got in the drawer.”
And William Forsythe has always been under-rated.
Forgot City Slickers, my all time favorite comedy. Too many good one liners to count.
After Curly dies:
“He ate bacon at every meal. You just can’t do that.”
“Cookie, can you say a few words about Curly?”
“Lord, we give you Curly. Try not to piss him off.”

Deanosumo, We Were Warriors Once… an awesome movie. Hard to find in the video stores though!
An awesome Native American movie, I loved since I was a kid, Wind Walker with Trevor Howard. A great look at the Cheyenne and Crow cultures before the arrival of the white man.[/quote]
Do you mean Once Were Warriors? Although, that film dealt with Maoris. Another good one.
Something occurred to me while looking through all these lists of movies: I saw a lot of them for the first time at a drive-in theater. Particularly those that came out in the 70s and 80s.
Growing up, we must have gone to the drive-in a couple dozen times every summer. Friday and Saturday nights they’d show three movies, would be an older flick; I don’t know how many times I saw Beastmaster and Flash Gordon as the third flick. I kept going at least once a year until a few years ago when they knocked down the last one in the Milwaukee area… the 41 Twin (which had four screens, oddly enough).
In all those years they never changed the intermission cartoons. You can see the same ones playing in the background during the drive-in scene of Grease.
The Drive-In… there’s a piece of americana I’m gonna miss.

2001 A Space Odyssey. An artistic masterpiece. Beautiful visuals, soaring orchestral music. Best seen with ‘just a teenie bit’ of mind-altering substances.

To each their own since this is obviously a personal/subjective list, but you are honestly the first person I have encountered (besides film critics) who genuinely liked the movie (let alone would watch it every time it was on). The pacing of the movie physically wounded me - I have the scars to prove it. Everything just… took… so… damn… long. What was I missing about that film besides that it was incredibly unique from a visual perspective for its time?

Army of Darkness is hilarious - what a great call. I’ve never seen any of the other Evil Dead flicks. Worth it?

It couldn’t hurt. The more Bruce Campbell the better, even Bubba Ho-Tep and that t.v. show he did “Adventures of Brisco Country Jr.”
“Hail to the King, baby.”

I would say yes, if you liked Army of Darkness then you will like evil dead 2. I think its a bit better but just as corny. If you do see it let me know if you liked it.
