Gummo is kind of dated now, but it's incredibly bizarre and densely entertaining.

Memento. Trust me on this. A little boring if you want action, but if you appreciate the art of film, you'll love it.
Your name is 'Cool Runnings'. You don't get a say in this...
Although Memento is great, it's only really great because it works towards a great ending.
Requiem For A Dream is one of those films that everyone should see, but only because it would cause about a quarter of them to commit suicide on the spot...
Good thread. I've been meaning to download some classics for a while. ATM I'm stealing full metal jacket, snatch, CWO and trainspotting.
I saw it the other day. It's not terrible but not great. It was watchable and kept me entertained for 90mins.Originally Posted by Rainmann
No no with gwahir, if he hates something, or you disagree with him about a pointless topic (like this), you must agree else you're fucking stupid. It's how the jewish twat is.
Not sure if I'll download it but I'll look at it in a minute.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. And he smashingly proves his point by calling you an idiot.
I didn't love Gummo and I didn't hate it either. But, it does take a look at what happens to society post-disaster, specifically Anytown USA post-disaster (the film opens right after a tornado) and it's an interesting character study. Personally I liked Kids (by the same director) better, although the lead character talked like he was mentally retarded - he isn't - which kept me from fully enjoying the movie.
I thought of a couple more movies. They're artsy and out there, and at least one of them is amazingly hard to find (even online) but check out Lawn Dogs, and The Reflecting Skin
my not liking it has nothing to do with whether i think it's a must watch. neither does my (separate) judgment of its quality. but a fucked up, violent movie like gummo does not fall into the category of "must watch" anything. we're not talking about good or bad movies itt; we're talking about movies that "must be seen", which is a different topic entirely.
lolturnip, you're a complete idiot.
I'm with gwahir on this one. Gummo doesn't need to be seen by anyone. In my opinion it is hardly worth watching, but there's nobody who is going to put gummo on their list of 'must see' movies. Star Wars, The Godfather, Gummo.....no, it's just fucking stupid.
That being said...
