I remember really liking Dancer in the Dark, but I haven't seen anything else.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have such mixed feelings about Von Trier. What he produces is so brilliant and so unlike anything else out that that I have tremendous admiration for him as a filmmaker.
On the other hand, if Nicole Kidman and Emily Watson got together and had him quietly murdered in his bed, I wouldn't shed any tears.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I made the mistake of watching Dancer in the Dark with my family. So f***ing bleak and depressing. We all just sat there at the end, horrified, and then they all yelled at me for picking it.
"Favorite Things" is not a song I can listen to anymore.

Every time anyone mentions an unfortunate family viewing experience, I have to tell them that I watched Basic Instinct by accident with my grandma.

I watched Evil Dead with my mom, thinking it was going to be funny like Army of Darkness. We turned it off after a woman got raped by a tree.

I also made them watch Requiem for a Dream.
Needless to say, I was banned from picking movies

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A friend of mine recommended Au revoir, les enfants to her conservative Catholic parents. They ended up renting La Cage aux Folles by mistake.
OK, not as bad as watching Basic Instinct with your grandmother, but....

My mom, sister and I went to a double-feature back in the early '80s. A very strange DF, in that the opening movie was Arthur and the second film was Body Heat. Sitting next to my mom at the age of 15, watching that film, was the most uncomfortable experience I've ever had in the theater.

Julie- I can't think of 2 more depressing movies!
Tommy- that mixup is too funny!
Wow, Kathy, that does sound bad!
I once watched Taxi Driver followed by Breakfast at Tiffany's on a date, which was pretty weird, especially when my date wanted to make out during Taxi Driver!

Because books.
My parents took my brother and me to Saturday Night Fever, thinking it was just a dance movie. I was probably 10, which would mean my brother was 7. In the scene in the car, where Donna Pescow holds up the condoms, I clearly remember my brother saying, really loud, "Hey, she's got candy!"
And my parents sinking into the floor in humiliation ...
