Oh goodness, I also loved Pump Up the Volume, although Untamed Heart was the ultimate in woobification... But I think it is more embarrassing because I am, like, 10 years older than you are, I think...
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
What? Pump Up the Volume was AWESOME!
I was bit mystified as to why they kept casting him as the romantic lead though, because charismatic as he might have been, the dude was *creepy*, yo. He was stalkerish in both "Untamed Heart" and "Bed of Roses", if I recall. By the way, whatever happened to Mary Stuart Masterson? She was so great in Friday Green Tomatoes and uhm, *cough*, Some Kind of Wonderful. t ducks from Plei's wrath

Pfft. You like what you like when you like it! (For example, I might be going to a concert next month with a bunch of kids 10 years younger than I am, and I fully expect to be mistaken for their mother.)

Thrive to spite them
I loved Somekind of Wonderful Mary Stuart Masterson has guested on L&O SVU as a child psychologist.
I have the ultimate shame in teenage movie watching, when I was in middle school my best friend and I would watch Thrashin' over and over again. Josh Brolin has a skateboarder in a gang who falls for the sister of a rival gang member. West Side Story but with frontside ollies and backside airs instead of jazz hands.

Oh goodness, most-watched movies?
The one I've seen the most in theatres was either Raiders of the Lost Ark or The Lost Boys.
RotLA because the summer it came out, the mom of my best friend worked at the mall with the movie theatre and was friends with the theatre manager. TLB because the summer it came out, it ended up at the local dollar theatre pretty quickly and stayed there.
Other most-watched movies:
Nightmare Before Christmas
Auntie Mame
Beetlejuice
Addams Family
Addams Family Values
Labyrinth
Moulin Rouge
Dracula (the Coppola version)
I think the movie I've watched the most, ever, probably is The Lost Boys, between the almost 20 times in the theatre AND how often I've watched it on VHS/DVD. I am a Big Cliché and I don't care.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also loved Pump Up the Volume. C'mon it's got the Pixies and Leonard Cohen covers and that actress that specialzed in Faux-nona (Samantha Mathis, who I actually like).
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Speaking of which, it's on my Tivo right now and we've been rewatching it. It's very beautiful and odd and sad. Maybe moreso than on first viewing. But it really gets at the ache of things.

Hey. New board.

I think Amelie is the movie I've seen most often in the theater, with Serenity and Pulp Fiction as close seconds.

Because books.
The movie I saw most in the theater? Has to be a tie between Grease and (cringes in anticipation) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. What can I say? I was ten. And oddly, that seems to be the last time I ever went to the theater repeatedly for anything, although I had a friend in high school who saw Endless Love in the theaters eight times the summer it came out. She had a broken leg at the time.
This game is too hard. I keep remembering movies I didn't originally list, like The Haunting, which I usually watch twice a year usually. And then there are the movies I can never *not* watch when I catch them -- my all-time favorite on that list is Coal Miner's Daughter.
