Ricky, that's an awesome list. I've seen most of those but I have to say, I'm a HUGE MST3k fan. I've got literally every movie they ever made (142 GB worth of movies) and I watch at least 1 every week.

I'm not even close to halfway thru.


Anyway, I've got the movie on VHS (it won't play anymore, I wore it out back in the day) and on DVD. My friends and I have so many inside jokes from that movie it's ridiculous.

1 to add to my list I've seen but alot of other people may not have- Kung Pow. Very, VERY silly.

[RickyRoss10]

142 GB?! That's insane! Where did you find/get them?


Oh, and the other day someone made a REALLY stupid comment in a meeting, to which I replied: This must be what it's like inside of a bong!

i got the collection via torrents (i use mininova.org, i know all of them are hosted there). not the best quality on some of them, especially the earliest videos when joel and crew were filming on a handy cam. but its totally worth having all the movies in avi format. it's 32 dvd r's worth, i think its around 190-200 movies, plus all the bonus features/guest appearances you can think of.
btw, ever heard of RiffTrax?

little MST3k inside joke story... was at voodoofest 2 years ago standing by the SoCo tent, this guy comes speedwalking towards me and my friend and i start making the engine noise like he's flying past in a car (which i do constantly even tho no one knows what its from, its just fun to do). he stops and turns to stare at me hardcore and flips out and runs away whining like a hurt dog.
we continue to stand there and he comes back about 20 minutes later and asks if we have any acid. i dont think he remembered us at all.

[RickyRoss10]

No, what's RiffTrax?

Thanks for the info, I'm definitely getting these.

The vast majority movies mentioned here I have never seen. I know, I know. I did see a Beautiful Mind.

Rifftrax is basically mp3 tracks for different movies done by the guys from MST3k, you can get them on itunes or rifftrax.com (i think) and play them over certain movies for the MST3k experience on alot of popular main stream movies. there are a TON of movies you can get rifftrax for, or you can DL the movies in torrent form with rifftrax already added.

sorry for thread-jacking AG.

Tell ya what, skip "Blazing Saddles" but I assure the last "Driving Miss Daisy"
will tug at your heartstrings at least 10 times.

You could have ten thugs loading up and planning an armed robbery
and that movie will soften them into mush.

Yeah...well you gotta see The Shawshank Redemption...one of the best movies ever made...based on a Stephen King novella. Every actor was...perfect. It's rare that you see a movie without thinking, "So-and-so would have been a better choice for the character of..."

Moving, haunting, and just a wonderful story about the power of...hope, in the presence of profound hopelessness.

On my list for the weekend, and I know what you mean about casting. I feel
the same way about "12 Angry Men." Every actor was perfectly cast. Henry
Fonda holds the screen. Lee J. Cobb was a perfect foil. Jack Klugman, Martin
Balsalm, Jack Warden, John Fielderm Ed Begley, Ed Binis, E.G Marshall, Robert
Weber, George Voskovec, Joseph Sweeney were pitch perfect.
