Trainspotting (1996)
All teens should see this movie
The first time I saw this movie, I turned it off part way. Why would anyone want to see a movie about a bunch of druggies? Then one day I was flipping channels and I came across this movie. Wow! I love this movie so much, because it offers a real, no-nonsense, b.s.-free look at the people who do drugs, their 'friends', and their lifestyle. It offers a reason _why_ people wreck their lives with heroin, and that's something I have never seen before. Excellent character study. Ewan McGregor is a natural in the lead role (it is this role that caught George Lucas' attention), and Robert Carlyle is perfectly cast as Begbie. The rest of the cast falls in line and it works very well. Watch for the description of a high at the beginning of the movie - it is very well done. To sum it up: combine 'Forrest Gump' with 'The Basketball Diaries' and this is what you'd get. Read the book.
Gamera tai Shinkai kaijû Jigura (1971)
Always good for a laugh
Campy and low-budget, all the things that make the old Gamera movies great. This movie follows a creature named Zigra, who first destroys a moon base then threatens Tokyo. Gamera arrives late and generally just mucks things up. He does somehow save the day, in one of the cheesiest fight sequences ever made. If you like stupid old movies, this one's for you.
"Gamera is really neat, Gamera is full of meat, We believe in Gamera!"
The Candidate (1972)
Grade A All-American Cheese
I disagree with the other reviews. I think that this movie tries hard, but it falls short due to bad acting and inept directing. One of the cheesiest movies I have seen in a while, and I'm a fan of these things. This movie just lends itself to so many jokes. Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans, this is the one!
