Heathers
Slacker
Clerks (or Mallrats)



Then graduate to Alasted's post when you get all that out of your system.

I recently rewatched Heathers and was bitterly disappointed. That film did not age well at all. What was once biting, dark humor is largely passe nowadays. There are still some pretty great moments but the film just seems to take itself a little too seriously.

Oh, and I just bought Children of Men on DVD. That movie should be required viewing for everyone. It's even better the third time than it was the first (which had me spending much of the movie slack-jawed and in awe of what was happening onscreen).

I also bought Dr. Strangelove, which is still probably the funniest movie ever created (with Blazing Saddles nipping at its heels).

I don't even think that's PT Anderson's best work (I would give that to Magnolia or Punch Drunk Love) but it's still an excellent film. As usual (same with Gangs of New York), Daniel Day Lewis puts the film on his shoulders and carries it. There are other good performances but Lewis has a tendency to steal the show.

I have to see Blazing Saddles then, I loved Dr. Strangelove!

Totally different humor, I'll warn you. Where Dr. Strangelove is subtle and clever, Blazing Saddles is in your face. The first half an hour has me in tears every single time.

"Hell no, horses is valuable. Send a nigger!" or "Dock that Chink a day's pay for napping on the job!" (after a Chinese laborer passes out from dehydration). Watch it with friends and you'll spend a month walking around, saying "Where's the white women at?" for at least a month. I guarantee it.

Richard Pryor at his finest. The over-the-top racism in that movie comes all the way around and smacks you in the back of the head. Hilarious.

Sounds promising. I love politically incorrect, in your face humor.
