...what is it?
key word is MOST
Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous
The Dad in Say Anything singing Ricki Don’t Lose That Number
My (probably unpoplular) choice: the band playing Freebird at dad’s funeral with the fire sprinklers going off in Elizabethtown.
in your eyes of course, tho i really liked his use of ‘my cherie amour’ in the Penny Lane stomach pump scene in Almost Famous—transforming it into a bizarrely erotic/romantic moment.
I always liked the Springsteen song in Jerry Maguire.
I always liked the Durutti Column music used in Jerry Maguire...and the Paul McCartney song at the end of Vanilla Sky worked pretty well...
If I didn’t think that RoboCruise and Renee Zellweger were gargoyles of doom I’d say the scoring of their first kiss to Paul McCartney’s “Singalong Junk.”
That Rikki scene is great. Although no props yet for Singles? It was, like, Four Weddings for people who’d actually listened to some contemporary music!
maybe ‘good vibrations’ in vanilla sky. i love that bit.
that awful jazz shit when Renee Zellweger and Tom Cruise have sex in Jerry Maguire
so many bad movies, I think I hate all of them except for Say Anything
You hate Fast Times At Ridgemont High?
I mean otherwise yeah fuck Cameron Crowe, but Fast Times is great.
he didn’t direct it
Yeah but he wrote it. I think of it as at least as much his as Heckerling’s (who at least had one other great movie in Clueless if not much else.)
don’t get me wrong I love Fast Times, own a copy, seen many times etc etc. I guess I don’t consider it really “his” movie cuz it lacks all the shitty trademarks found in the films he actually directed (even Say Anything has its moments of unwatchable schmaltz).
The subplot where Frasier’s dad turns out to be a monster is what ruins Say Anything for me. It would be a great movie if not for that (s’okay even with it.)
The use of Sleep’s “Dragonaut” in Gummo.
The subplot where Frasier’s dad turns out to be a monster is what ruins Say Anything for me.
but she needed a reason to dis him in the malibu
wasn’t Frasier’s dad also a monster in Singles?...or was that Reality Bites?
Yep—and also in “Barton Fink” too! (Drunken wife-beating William Faulkner type.)
Frasier’s Dad was a monster in Frasier too! He was always so cruel to his kids!
was nice to his dog, though...
oh fuck it, let’s kick his ass!!
no he’s great in Barton Fink!!!
Frasier’s Dad was a jerk in Tin Men too, but the Heart Attack changed all that.
Frasier’s Dad was great on Broadway in The House of Blue Leaves.
The only thing that ruins any of Say Anything is Peter Gabriel, of course. Crowe consistently mediocre since (not that I saw the last two).
yeah the Peter Gabriel scene is pretty bad
