"Reds," "Bonnie and Clyde, "Bugsy," And "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," but how could you not list "Shampoo" and "Bullworth"?

4. Gotta put a plug in for "Reds". |
|
I saw it when I was thirteen. It should have been 'just a long, boring movie' for a kid like me. But I was absolutely fascinated by it. Incredible piece of film making. It opened my eyes to the Communist workers movement in Russia and in the United States of the time. I still think Communism is a really bad idea, but it grew from good intentions. And it was good to get a lucid historical perspective on it, instead of just a ignorant hatchet job. You know: "Comma-nizm is jes' bay-add. Un-Amurikan!"
The marching songs sung by the Moscow Radio Choir were captivating. They did what they were supposed to do: pump you up and inspire you to the cause. (I wasn't inspired by the cause; I just liked the music.)

5. My vote was for Reds. But I was torn between that and Splendor |
|
in the Grass--best chick flick of all time--well, really tied with The Way We Were.
I'm surprised Splendor hasn't been voted for yet.
BTW, I teach American History and I show that movie to my class. It's scheduled for today which is what inspired me to put up the poll.

11. I always though "Ishtar" was kind of funny |
|
I liked "Howard the Duck," too, so you might not want to go by my movie recommendations.

14. I thought Ishtar was hilarious |
|
but I've been literally booed out of a room when I said I thought the movie was pretty funny. Maybe unintentionally so?

great movie for the :tinfoilhat: in all of us.
I also enjoyed 'The Fortune' w/Jack Nicholson and an insanely funny Stockard Channing.

13. "Shampoo." Rollickingly funny, but politically pointed... |
|
About the night that the right wing took over America, on election eve, 1968.
This is one of the best films about that era. Made in 1974, I believe, and it was already a period piece.
Highly recommended.
