Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes - My dad considers this the worst movie of all time, but he rents absolute crap with some regularity.
Coffee And Cigarettes - A couple good bits, but most are uninspired, and musicians aren't actors.
Jabberwocky - really really boring
Robin Hood: Men In Tights - pretty funny when i was 13.
Sex, Lies And Videotape - good, a little dated.
Leaving Las Vegas - devastating, and one of the few respectable roles Nick Cage has done.
Barton Fink - not my favorite Coen Bros. by a long shot.
Mulholland Drive - confusing, occasionally retarded, but not boring.
Three Kings - fantastic cinematography, Marky Mark, what's not to like?

Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes
Coffee And Cigarettes - most boring thing i've ever seen
Repo Man
Billy Liar - 's got his hands in his pockets
Millions - i really liked this movie - dragged a bit towards the end
Jabberwocky
Robin Hood: Men In Tights - POS
Sex, Lies And Videotape - POS
My Life Without Me
Leaving Las Vegas - unbelievable - any movie where you pour whiskey all over Elizabeth Shue's chest and lick it up is good. what happened to her anyway?
Barton Fink - great movie
Happiness
Mulholland Drive - great movie - hot sex scene, crazy monsters behind dumpsters, freaky cowboys
Three Kings - liked it when I saw it but haven't had a desire to watch it again
Killing Zoe
Stealing Beauty
What's Up, Tiger Lily?

That's why it's on my list.

I'm a big fan of really bad movies.

Killer Tomatoes is B-movie all the way. And like some good B-movies, it knows it's a B-movie, which makes it all the better.

Robin Hood: Men In Tights is great. Mel Brooks film right?

Leaving Las Vegas I thought was depressing

Three Kings is cool, some parts clever, some parts intense

Killing Zoe is cool too, from what I remember it's British (?) and I guess if you like casual violence a la Pulp Fiction you'll like it.

Shock value is about all there is in that movie. Fuckin' lame.

Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes--campy film, probably not worth a view unless you are interested in Clooney's 80s quaff

Coffee And Cigarettes--dug it well enough, but was a little dissappointed. As stated, the RZA/GZA/Bill Murray bit is the best.

Repo Man--Crazy scifi punk film from the director who did Sid & Nancy. I own it. Its odd to be sure, but originality is a blessing.

Robin Hood: Men In Tights--One of Mel Brook's meh films. See Blazing Saddles.

Sex, Lies And Videotape--Spader is one creepy mofo.

My Life Without Me--Cryfest.

Barton Fink--*****

Mulholland Driveat his best. Will make you watch this over again.

Three Kings--Great filmmaking, great story, this led off to Clooney being a legitimate actor.

Killing Zoe--Roger Avery is one of the best minds in Hollywood.

Stealing Beauty--Dude, you could look up nude pics of Liv Tyler.

I'm broke and unemployed so downloading is my only real opportunity to see any movies that I don't already own. A lot of these I wouldn't pay money to see, anyway.

And I download through torrent programs. In some cases it takes a few days, but I just watch the movie and then delete it after. And the quality is never noticeably a problem.

Yeah it is. Storytelling is the one with Selma Blair and the "fuck me, niggah" scene.

The only Todd Solondz I've seen was Palindromes, and man was that a pile. That guy needs a hug.

Repo Man -EMILIO ESTIVEZ!!! (great film; weird as hell).
Robin Hood - Mel Brooks' best work in my opinion.

Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes - If you're in the mood for something insanely stupid
Coffee And Cigarettes - some good bits, boring overall
Repo Man - classic, brilliant soundtrack. weird and maybe a bit overlong
Sex, Lies And Videotape - I remember liking this
Barton Fink - Not the best Coen Bros. movie, but still weird and intriguing
Three Kings - Perhaps, surprisingly, the best movie of this bunch, IMO

Coffee And Cigarettes - Not Jarmusch's best, but I still thought it was good. It's got a great cast and all of the 12 vignettes are pretty cool.

Repo Man - Great if you're in the mood for some good music and a kitschy 80s movie. Try to find the DVD set that comes in a metal license plate box along with a CD of the soundtrack.

Leaving Las Vegas - I can't remember whether I liked this or not. I think I did though. Don't watch it if you're depressed to begin with.

Barton Fink - After Miller's Crossing, this is the Coen Brothers' best.

Happiness - One of the best films of the 90s. Solondz's best by far, although all four of his are pretty good.

Mulholland Drive - If you're a Lynch fan, you'll love it. Otherwise, it's going to push you strongly in one direction or the other.

Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes - I think I saw this as a kid. I'm sure it's terrible, but you should try to watch it.

Coffee And Cigarettes - The few good parts make this worthwhile, IMO. The Coogan/Molina one is great, and even though it's really badly acted, the Tom Waits/Iggy Pop one is kinda fun.

Robin Hood: Men In Tights - Wasn't Dave Chapelle in this? I think Cary Elwes (sp?) is. Anyway, I'm sure the humor in this might seem really dated, but I thought it was pretty funny at the time.

Barton Fink - One of the better Coen bothers flicks, though maybe not one of my favorites. Worth renting at the very least as opposed to watching a shitty-looking download.

Happiness - Crap. Solondz is a sensationalist hack.

Mulholland Drive - If you like watching Lynch's bizarre, awkward dream-realities caught on film, you should enjoy this. If you're hell-bent on having everything make some kind of logical narrative sense, this will seriously piss you off even though there is supposedly an actual "story" hidden underneath it all.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is horrendous, but that Puberty love song is hillarious
Repo Man is great
Barton Fink is utterly odd and not that great, but the crap about fishmongers and wrestling movies is awesome. Turturro and Goodman were fantastic together.
Happiness is a great flick if you like disturbing topics. I thought Camryn Manheim, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jane Adams were great in it. I love when the pedophile guy fantasizes about killing everyone at the park. The blood in bowel movement scene and the little kid masturbating at the end was a little too much.
My brother wanted me to watch Coffee and Cigarettes this weekend, but I passed.

Cary Elwes and Mel Brooks are the core reason this is on my list.

The only thing I've seen by him is a couple episodes of Twin Peaks, so we'll see.

Got Blazing Saddles on dvd. And Young Frankenstein. And seen a handful of his others. So this seems as good a next step as any.

I don't, but it's got Julie Delpy, so that's enough for me.

It's the only David O. Russell film I haven't seen, so I've got high hopes. And I actually didn't mind Marky in Planet of The Apes, Boogie Nights and I Heart Huckabees.

You should really try to see Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, and/or Eraserhead first. You should see those regardless of how you feel about Mulholand Drive.
