I can’t believe that I forgot to put this in my list. One of the best films ever made.
It is really interesting how most of Scorsese's films feature the common themes of Catholic guilt and what Freud called the “Madonna/Whore complex” (a man's inability to understand a woman except in terms of the only two roles he knows how to assign: virgin or whore.)
I just watched “Raging Bull” the other night, and I was thinking about how much it has in common with “Taxi Driver” and “Mean Streets” as far as themes go.

Man, everyone has some good taste in films on here. I’m not surprised, but it is cool to see (or read, I guess.)

night of the creeps

Hell Yeah! I love this movie! Have you seen both endings? I wish that they would release this on DVD. I am hopeful that they are going to now, since the just released the same director’s other film “Monster Squad.”
Real Genius is rad too.

i read that theres an EXTREMELY good chance that night of the creeps is gonna get a proper dvd release in the future. The studios saw how good "monster squad" did in DVD sales (the majority of the stores selling them sold out on the first day) and i guess they're hoping lightning will strike twice

I bought a bootleg DVD of it from a comic book convention for about 20 bucks and it has both endings (the alternate ending with the graveyard is somewhere on youtube, i think). Rad movie, for sure.

I think the only movie that Ive ever been consistantly stoked on is The Life Aquatic. ClockWork Orange is pretty good too.

So sick. I like this alternate ending better then the original one. I need to have this on DVD.
I remember seeing this on TV as a kid, and then seeing it again a couple years later and it was the version with this alternate ending and I was like “What the hell? They changed the ending!“ The same with “The Thing”, for years I swore that I saw a version of it on TV where it ended with a dog running away from the camp (Implying that the Thing had survived), but when I talked to people about that film no one had any idea what I was talking about. It wasn’t until a while later when the internet came around that I discovered that there were two cuts of both films.

tyler uses parrafin for the explosives in the book so the buildings dont blow up, saving the world from economic equilibrium unfortunately. on a good note the narrator doesnt hold marla's hand after shooting himself in the damn head. he goes to the hospital where the space monkeys still think its tyler laying in the bed but as far as you can tell, tyler is dead

If you own (or want to rent) “Fight Club” on DVD there is a commentary track with Chuck Palahniuk, the author of the novel the movie is based on, where he discusses in detail the differences between the book and film.

Word. Commentary tracks aren't really my thing, but I might give this one a listen.
