Most Random Movie You Can Think Of: Part II

Part I thread

Green Card (1990)

Stars and Bars (1988) with a naked Daniel Day Lewis.

Switch (1991)

God, Blake Edwards turned out so much forgettable, random dreck during his career.

Heart and Souls (1993)

Dead of Winter is a good little thriller.

R6 that sounds cute and is going on my list

Lucky Numbers (2000)

Jezebel

Smila's Sense of Snow....doesn't Ormond's character get sexually assaulted by her stepmother or some crazy shit in that weirdo movie? For some reason my older brother saw it on a date and he bitched that he didn't get laid because of that scene. Oh well.

Faster, pussycat ! Kill ! Kill !

Frogs from 1972.

Starring a young Sam Elliott with extreme VPL.

Nancy Goes to Rio

Bang (1995)

R8

It is quite cute, or at least I thought so at the time.

V.I. Warshawski (1991)

Nothing But Trouble (1991)

A total stinker of a movie with Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, John Candy, Dan Akyroyd, Tupac Shakur…

Here’s two of the stars- Bono and Lil Debil

Aria (1987). I remember watching it and thinking, what the fuck?

R18 here, I’m wheezing- it’s Bobo and Lil Debil, not Bono.

"Whispers" (1990), a TV movie-esque, bizarre Canadian horror flick starring Victoria Tennant and hottie Chris Sarandon.

Immediate Family (1989)

Providence

Shadow Play with Dee Wallace and Cloris Leachman

High Road to China (1983)

A fun adventure with former WWI pilot (Tom Selleck) and spoiled flapper (Bess Armstrong). They fly a couple of biplanes from Turkey to China to find Bess’s father (Wilford Brimley). Hijinks along the way. Great score by John Barry.

R21, the wiki summary of that movie didn’t disappoint. What the fuck!!?

I loved the book Smilla's Sense of Snow. The movie not near as good, but a pleasant reminder of the book, so it inspired me to read it again.Which I might do again. Her mother in the book was fascinating. Also the impact to the Indigenous people is so un preachingly portrayed. Really good read.

Seance on a Wet Afternoon

Bryan Forbes' The L-Shaped Room (1962) I was impressed by Caron's performance for which she Oscar nominated losing to Patricia Neal (Hud) It's a fine film with an interesting collection of characters all of whom you care about

It's currently available on The Criterion Channel

from Bosely Crowthers review in the NYTimes-

.Miss Caron plays a French miss in London who, while carrying an illegitimate child, falls in love with a struggling young writer and has a torturing affair with him. The actress pours into this role so much powerful feeling, so much heart and understanding, that she imbues a basically threadbare little story with tremendous compassion and charm. The credit, however, is not all Miss Caron's. She must share it with an excellent cast . . .

Forbes wife Nanette Newman appears in the film's final scene

R29 Seance on a Wet Afternoon is one of my favorites. The book has a different ending. Also, there is a sequel book but it was never filmed.

A Taste of Honey. Rita Tushingham's relationship with her gay friend was the first movie I saw about accepting a gay man by a hetero.

I must have "random" taste, or I just watched a lot of cable as a kid growing up in the '80s and '90s, because I love at least four of the movies listed.

Smilla's Sense of Snow - Julia Ormond is great in this movie. She didn't get enough credit for her performance, in my view. It's not a "likeable" role and she packs a wallop with quite a few of her lines as the misanthropic Smilla Jaspersen.

V.I. Warszawski - Silly murder mystery with Kathleen Turner as a wise-cracking private eye. Enough said.

Switch - I'll be the first to admit that this is a bad movie, but Ellen Barkin (as a man inhabiting a woman's body) is just fun to watch in it.

Nothing But Trouble - I don't know how this absurd, twisted tale of yuppies-in-backwater-hell got made but I'm glad it did. "Smells like Sao Paolo!"

I think if you forced someone into a room and played Nothing But Trouble on a loop, you could drive them insane.

How does the book end, r29?

LUV

Nothing But Trouble had the nastiest hot dogs I’ve ever seen.

Perfect

Party Girl

The Day the World Ended

Misconduct. I've never heard of the movie until yesterday.

Vaghe Stella Dell'Orsa with the beautiful Jean Sorel as an incestuous brother in love with Claudia Cardinale, his sister
