"Roots, part n" might count as a made-for-TV movie, but the "part n" bit is significant. A "movie" may leave a dangling plot-line (as in "The Empire Strikes Back") but a complete mini-series wouldn't count.
Now have you actually SEEN The Bicycle Thief or, like everybody else in America, do you claim to have seen it to get Cine-Points from whatever Gods of the cinema are out there?Hey, shud-up and go back to your Beavis and Butthead, Clerks worshipper.
I did go to school for 2 years, plus worked 1 year in the Hub Of The Universe - Boston. I even went to see a few movies at the Orson Welles Cinema in Cambridge. Which is just down the street from that theatre which has only played The King Of Hearts for God-only-knows how many decades. SO!
Yes, I HAVE seen The Bicycle Thief and enjoyed it immensely. What I want to know is - have you seen The Rules Of The Game?
P.S. Had you heard that Pink Flamingoes is been re-released in all its gory (no typo) for its 25th anniversary?
... have you seen The Rules Of The Game?Isn't that one of those boring old french movies that rambles on about bourgoise excess and ultimately endorses anti-American-Commie-Marxist-Satanist values?
Yes....... I've seen it.

We of the younger Karass can only hope to measure up.
P.S. Had you heard that Pink Flamingoes is been re-released in all its gory (no typo) for its 25th anniversary?Can do better than that........
Yes I know that Pink Flamingoes is out. It is currently playing at the Music Box theatre here in Chicago.
However my roomate, who runs the Chicago Underground Film Festival, secured John Waters as this years guest of honor. So there has been much Waters-mania floating around my homestead for the past couple of months, culminating in the big fund-raiser shindig last Saturday where Dinner with the Prince of Puke was raffled off.
I did NOT win, but being the person who is producing a series of commercials for the festival, at minimal cost to them, I am reasonably assured of the eventual meeting, hand-shake, gimme-a-job schmoooze when he arrives.
Should be amusing.
P.S. Clerks SUCKED!
Editors' note: Having seen the "final" list, it wuold appear that some of us answered the question in the affirmative.
Meanwhile, the original confusion about which thread was being replied to caused the editor and various list-members to digress regarding who originally requested the movies lists and what the requirements were. That has been excised from this BoM version as a courtesy to posterity. However, that subthread eventually resulted in...
Subject: Re: Movies Message-ID: <[email protected]>
HA! I lied. This post is not about movies. Instead...
Q: How many internet mail list subscribers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 1,331:

>Thanks for reminding me about that one. Now there's an idea for the Karass
>page (ISTOHOW needs something extra to do):
> A listing of movies recommended by each member.Should I break my listing down by country of origin, director, year, subject matter, quality level, or star?
Yes please. HTML tables would be great, with one column for each of those items. Try not to use HTML frames, though - that would be too slow for access this way. Please include columns for hyperlinks to reviews, and put hyperlinks in for the directors and major stars when you fill in those rows.
Thanks for volunteering!
For the rest of Karass, send suggestions for additional rows to Cine-Paul. He is a much more natural owner of the the Karass Cinema page than ISTOHOW, anyhow. Otherwise, great idea Airwug!

Better watch out man....... Istohow the Net-Nazi might 'git 'ya for your inappropriate subject line :->
And....uh.....yeah it does have a ring to it.
Better watch out man....... Kislanko the Net-Nazi might 'git 'ya for your inappropriate subject line :->
Just as an FYI my complaint was not about the "appropriateness" of the subject lines in the moral sense. I just got so damned confused trying to find and order the movie listing posts because they seemed to come in random order in multiple "threads", and if I were going to construct a "best of the maillist" entry out of them it was going to take two and half years...
Fortunately for me, 'bout the time I was ready to give up anyway Cine-Paul volunteered to do that...
And....uh.....yeah it does have a ring to it.Indeed it does. Seems appropriate, too.
Fortunately for me, 'bout the time I was ready to give up anyway Cine-Paul volunteered to do that...Glad to see that geriatric Paul has the same sense of humour that his aging younger counterpart has.
If everybody has entered their choices, let the ripping and gnashing begin, eh? (I really had intended for this to be an interesting thread...)
Obligatory smiley face------> :-)
Editor's note: Not everybody had posted their movie list. However, this posting did for a brief moment get the thread back onto the subject of movies...
Guess my attempts at humor don't translate in this medium. Joanna always says that I'm pretty funny, but looks aren't everything....All right! All right, Mr. Wiseguy! Where do you want the new orifice torn!!!!
Pink Flamingoes
For Paul, the film-fool:
Are there plans in the works to re-release any of Waters' other classics?
I was particularly fond of Female Trouble. Or, maybe it was just (hold your nose tightly when saying this for proper vocal inflection) the ambience of the Towne Theater in Sacramento ...
CrumbI still haven't seen this. Is there any Crumb music in it (either George or Robert)? Or, is it just crumby music?
Lives of the Saints
What the ...? I've read the book, haven't seen the movie.
(I really had intended for this to be an interesting thread...)So who said it wasn't?
And by the way, XX, if you're going to be in NYC this Saturday, drop by HMV Music and click a photo of shy Fripp for me, would you?
Are there plans in the works to re-release any of Waters' other classics?I honestly don't know, gonna have to get back to you on this one. However, I do know that Female Trouble, the Musical, is playing at one of the more eclectic (Gay) theatres here in town. When the Film Festival had its big raffle for Dinner with Waters the entire cast came down and did a few numbers for the crowd. It were funny.
However, the page hasn't been started ('les Cine-Paul's workin' on it)Nope...... Not quite up to the challenge as of yet.
Nope...... Not quite up to the challenge as of yet.Go away - ya bother him ... He's still trying to figure out the difference between ISO and ASA. ;-)
(grin) So far Airwug and cine-paul have volunteered.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AAAAAUUUUURRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!
P.S. Would agin' Paul "Please" consider mounting my thread to the best of the Karass list since Humble-Small-Shrinking in the corner Paul (who is intellectually unable to master the dynamics of web construction) is woefully incapable of such a heady task. Kiss-Kiss, Smooch-Smooch, Brownose-Brownose :-)
