reading the clerks 2 thread made me think that i'd like to see which movie everyone enjoys most.

there are such wide variying opinions on his best work. some like the raw clecks and despise the slickness of mallrats and later work. everyone pretty much hates jersey girl. some people like the deeper meanings in dogma.
i'm just going to poll the biggies that most people/fans have seen

so which is your personal favorite?


(this really isnt the place to have an argument over if you like or dislike smith's style and why or why not.... just if you are a smith fan which film do you watch over and over)
also: the rumor is smith is working on an untitles horror flick, not much information though.
but he does have an MTV show right now- sucks less.
 
mallrats, though i havent seen chasing amy or jersey girl. the original clerks was wayyyy better than #2 in my opinion
 
didn't like mallrats, from what i remember.

liked chasing amy and jersey girl both, but CA was definitely more clever.

most enjoyable was jay and bob strike back, with a close C2 behind, even though i have been a fan of C1 since it came out.

but...over all fave, Dogma. it is the shit, what a great film. i love when things like "dogma" are mocked as they should be, in all of their unimportant goodness, yet, spirituality and "real" (tm) values are embraced. i think that this film embraced a theological commentary that not many films are brave enough to touch.

oh, and....the sense of humor is divine, and that helps this movie excel.
 
i used to say clerks, then i got sick of it and it was chasing amy, and i saw a bit of that recently and thought "ugh". I dunno, i haven't seen dogma in a while.

nah, i'm sick of kevin smith's stuff.
 
there not funny at all. the guy is a joke when he is on leno and shit personally i find nothing funny hollywood camera garbage
 
i liked dogma the most.. mallrats is second, but the rest i could give a fuck about. i've never been much of a kevin smith fan. the dialogue/acting drove me crazy.
 
over the next few hours i will be "buying" a copy of dogma from some guy whoo lives in the sewer behind the old rendering plant next to the sulfer mine atop the ancient aboriginal burial ground as far as i'm aware
 
This is tough...Clerks I've seen a million times and voted for it, but Mallrats and Dogma get an honorable mention.

Aside from you calling it hollywood camera garbage, you watch Leno. That really tells you something. 8(
 
It was a tough choice between Dogma, Mallrats, and Clerks. I chose Dogma, but a second later looking back I should have chosen Clerks.

Is it just me or did the humour go wayyyy downhill with Clerks 2. I thought it was hilarious and all but cumon come up with some other material than perverted sexual shit...
 
Hard choice. I love them all for different reasons.

Clerks wins because of Randall and it has a Bad Religion b-side in it.

Mallrats is a close second because I'm in love with Claire Forlani. And you see Joey Lauren Adams' tits.

That film was terrible! :D

However, I think that is spot on. It's a beautifully made film, lots of subtle references, a mixture of comedic attitudes... and yes, the willingness to take on a theological debate in everyday terms was impressive.

Besides, it's just about the only film I've ever seen Ben Affleck in... and not wanted to gouge his eyeballs out with a grapefruit spoon.
 
i forgot j&sbsb on the poll the second time i made it.
sorry guys.

I lovr Dogma, and I'm glad to have found some people here who think it just as highly as I do...everyone else I know hates it. Basically what DarthMom says about it sums up what I think...good to poke some holes in religion.

Clerks was....meh....it was. Mallrats I couldn't get into. Haven't seen the others though I own them all. Might sit down again one day and watch them with a more open mind, rather than expecting to *love* them first go like I was anticipating.
 
Chasing amy with dogma in second place.

These are the only films that kevin smith actually managed to create some reasonable emotion and chemistry between charcters. Clerks is amusing given the situation it was made under, but it's terribly boring, Mallrats just sucks (I really have no clue how this has gained cult status, it's unwatchable.), and Jay and Silent bob is amusing, but rather vapid.

Still, chasing amy is a winner, a uncharcterstically intmiate and warm side of kevin smith.


A somewhat unrelated question here, but does anyone else find the chemistry between Kevin Smith and Jay Mews rather... homoerotic? Perhaps not in the jay and silent bob roles, but more in the commentaries that they've done together. I know Kevin Smtih has a wife and all of that, i'm not looking to start that argument, I just want confirmation that i'm not crazy for having had picked up on some bizzare sexual tension.

Yeah, but I think that's part of the in-joke. Notice how in "Clerks" Jay is always raging about how he loves women, but constantly plays gay with Silent Bob.

Truth be told, I've known a lot of guys like that IRL.
 
yeah, it is just a gag. i think they like to make others uncomfortable and wonder, like you just did :)

but then again, maybe they really do like the dick.

but then again, again, does it really matter ;)
