BEST movie in which one of the major characters gets fed into a wood chipper

[Amerigo Vespucci]

[Burma Jones]

1. A Woodchipper would be a welcome addition to the Sound of Muzak

[Auggie]

2. I don't know if there is one correct answer

[dawgmom]

3. You're very odd. I like that in a person

I voted for "Yentl," by the way.

(Although Fargo is probably in my Top Five Favorite Movies of All Time list.) Ya fuckin' mute.

15. "Unguent. I...need...unguent."

:rofl:

:toast:

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Top Gun. About 2 minutes in. Everyone.

6. That must be in the director's cut.

:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. If the director had any integrity, it would be.

5. How could you forget the climactic woodchipper scene in Glitter starring Mariah Carey?

Have you no soul?

8. You forgot "Titanic"

The old lady gets it in the end, after her granddaughter sees her drop the necklace in the water.

9. Why all the Sound of Music hate? Why do you hate Austria? n/t

10. Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.

Oops...make that Six Dwarfs.

11. Rumble in the Bronx.

What? Am I the only person here who appreciates good movies?

12. The scene in Citizen Kane, where he jumps into the woodchipper after his sled, screaming 'rosebud'

The lighting in that scene was perfect.

13. Showgirls

Loved the big production number at the end, when the entire cast dances into the woodchipper. Except Gina Gershon. Don't ask why she was spared, she just was. It makes as much sense as anything in the so-called plot of that pathetic little dry fart of a movie.

And then Elizabeth Berkley's severed head was put on a spike outside Joe Eszterhas' mansion. Just as a warning.

The Sound of Music

Ugh. Some poster asked why we hate Austria. We don't. We hate movies with a heavily drugged Christopher Plummer, stupid cartoon Nazis and about 14,000 superfluous, annoying, heavily-wood-chipper-deserving brats tunelessly horking up idiotic "songs" about packages tied up with fucking string and kittens with fucking whiskers and shit.

Cut to some recording studio, where John Coltrane placed a huge bet with a record producer: "Watch this, I'm going to take the dumbest song ever written by a white person and make that sucker COOK!!!"

Jerry Maguire

"You had me at...A-I-E-E-E-E!!!!" Crunch-slorp-slorp-splatter...

A Christmas Carol

Enough already. Every unemployable hack in the "entertainment" industry eventually takes a bite of this stinky old burnt-out Xmas chestnut.

Even more horrifying, they usually "improve" it by moving the story to modern times and delivering some social-conscience message with all the subtlety of a reindeer kick in the groin.

You want it improved? Here you go, but I want a writing credit. On a snowy Xmas morn in London, the entire cast fails to notice the woodchipper buried in a snowdrift.

All except Tiny Tim, who does escape the woodchipper to chirp, for the 400th time, "God bless us every one!" At which point the horribly mangled body of Scrooge crawls out of the woodchipper and beats him to death with his own crutch.

16. I wish I could recommend this post!

14. Stepford Connecticut Wives!!

or perhaps Divorce Connecticut Style???

17. The woodchopper scene killed off "Fargo" for me

We were pretty close to walking out anyway, but that scene sealed the deal. We managed to stay through the whole thing, but on the way out, we just said, "Well, that was weird." We went to a record store. This was during the original theatrical run. Months later when the Academy Award nominations were announced, Fargo was nominated for Best Picture, and I said to myself, "'Fargo?' You got to be kidding." Seriously. It was nothing more than a cartoon, like a feature length episode of some strange cable show that got canceled after 1 season. So sue me.
