Pacino, it’s a bad ass flic. Raw bones

 

[wudbutcher]

And don’t forget Taxi Driver. Jodi Foster as a 13 yr old addict/ prostitute. The flic that put her on the map, along with being the Coppertone kid of course

Is it wrong that I think that movies really really overrated?

 

[wudbutcher]

No more wrong than making statements like that in a fav movie forum simply to initiate useless, lonesome convo.
No, it’s not

Do you have IMDB links or something? Sounds interesting.

I remember I saw this documentary about a father who did a bunch of "X" with his kids went to rave parties etc.
I think I found the link here on Bluelight it was a strange but entertaining documentary that left me feeling a bit uncomfortable. Lets see if I can find it. Oh here it is, fairly neutral documentary good for harm reduction purposes.

Small town Ecstasy (2002)

Nah, i'm just a movie buff. Haha. I saw that documentary when it was first released. I loved it and felt really bad for the dad at the end. You can tell he really felt immense regret.

Did you see the remake of point break? It was to over exaggerated for me to watch, I don't understand why they have to destroy classic movies by making cheezy remakes sometimes?

Point Break was good. My mom has always been a huge Keanu Reeves fan and it's one of her favorite movies. I didn't know there was a remake.

Thanks might watch this right now, feelin pretty shitty, some people being more miserable might cheer me up!

Al Pacino was such a happy plonker in this one, he seemed more like a healthy speedfreak then a heroin addict, but good movie, nice to see NY in the 70ties just full of wonderful underground-artists, scumbags and hustlers.

I liked the bathroom scene with the cat very much. When she asks " but he wont be harmed?" And he goes " No, but cats are perfect, always half here half in the otherworld " We cat lovers KNOW that!

Constantine was a good one.

I knew she was an underage prostitute in the movie but i didn't know her character was an addict. Its a good movie though.

Not that many drugs in that movie, he does take some meds probably like Phenmetrazine or maybe headache pills, but it's a good movie, "trippy" maybe I don't know, but I like the whole transition the radicalization of the protagonist, from thought to action!

Their relationship/friendship in that movie is portrayed in a nice way, very special, reminds me a bit of the movie "Léon".

I don't consider it a drug movie, but its definitely a classic, gritty drama that I would recommend that anyone watch.

For sure, the new "Joker" movie is a total paraphrase by the way.

Did you mean The Professional with Natalie Portman? I can see that, given the fill-in dad vibe.

1984 is actually my favourite drug-film when I think of it now.

Yeah I mentioned that it was the same director, .
Did you watch any of his other movies? Elephant? Paranoid Park?
I remember trying to watch Paranoid Park but failing to watch the whole thing.

Yes, sorry "The Professional" or whatnot.
