For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie
What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?
Boogie Nights.
My hetero life partner and I went to see this opening night because we heard Heather Graham got naked... and we'd both been infatuated with her since License to Drive. We ended up going back to the theater at least a dozen times to watch the movie just because it was so goddamn good.
It's an amazing ensemble cast of actors who were, (with the exception of Burt) at that time, B-list at best. The story is engaging and friendly without reaching too far into hackey territory. We might be able to predict the exact destination, but we can enjoy the journey to that destination as it's own unique experience. Anderson lets his actors really make the characters their own, so long as they stick to his writing.
In short, it's an amazing example of what a whole bunch of very talented actors can do when they're given good material to work with.
I don't like Mark Wahlberg as a person, but he was amazing in this movie. John C Reilly is the fucking man. Julianne Moore and Heather Graham deliver Oscar caliber performances.
I can't think of a single bad part of this movie.
The driveway scene kills me everytime.
There's actually a shitload of subtext packed into that scene. That's one of the great things about the movie. It manages to pull off some serious social commentary while still being legitimately entertaining.
I would love to hear your interpretation of that scene, I just think of it as WHM's breaking point
