Movies You don't 'get'

From Wiki:

Most of the movie is centered upon truck drivers Bo "Bandit" Darville (Reynolds), and his partner Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Reed), with his Basset Hound named Fred, taking a shipment of 400 cases of Coors beer from Texarkana, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia. ("Bandit" and "Snowman" are the two men's CB radio handles, respectively). At the time, Coors wasn't available in the eastern U.S.; due to the arcane nature of state liquor taxes, it was illegal to ship it east of Texas. (In fact, Texarkana, Texas lies in Bowie County, Texas, which is a dry county. Texarkana, Arkansas is "wet", but Coors could not be shipped east of Texas. There was no Coors in Texarkana; the closest Coors would have been found in the small Cass County, Texas community of Domino.)

 

I think when tinman's daddy gets home he oughta punch his momma in the mouth.

 

Mr. Bean.



Do people think this guy is funny? Now this jerkoff has a sequel coming out.

 

mr. bean is great. Especially his old british shows.

 

I like Mr Bean! that is some of the time...

 

I am not your typical movie watcher. Almost all of the movies listed here that people "don't get" I have watched and enjoyed. Lot's of them I have on DVD. But come on man Thin Red Line was garbage.

 

I'm pretty sure this post completely changed his mind. I know it did mine.

 

How can you watch that...i wouldnt be able to, maybe im a homophobe but that crap is unnatural to me. its like watching someones knee bend outwards during an injury, its unnatural.

 

Rocketman95=FRED

 

Oh I'll make your knees turn outwards, baby.

 

"The New Partridge Family"

How can they be new when they are really old now?

 

I'll second this post.

 

cmon the guy shouldve been arrested at the end

 

I completely agree, I watched it with my girlfriend, and it was strange. But I didn't really see the big deal about the movie. I mean the acting was ok.. nothing to write home about. I don't think I'm a homophobe but I just didn't really get the whole movie. Like, what was the point?

 

The struggles of 2 gay cowboys??

 

Awesome. I need to watch that movie again.

For a good while you couldn't get Coors outside of Colorado; my old man has stories about his yahoo friends bringing back pallets of it from hunting trips. The hype around it was ridiculous. Then, once they started shipping to Texas, they screwed up & gave out distributorships to anyone & everyone who had the $$$ - there were something like 6 different Coors distributors in Houston at one point. Naturally, they went out of business and/or consolidated, and once the mystique & scarcity factor was gone, Coors became just like any other beer.

The Banquet Beer is still pretty damn good as far as mass-produced US beer goes. Time to go crank up some Jerry Reed....

 

I'll add - not that I don't "get" the movies, but I do not get how these clowns are able to make movies - just about anything by any of the Wayans brothers (outside of I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka). Hell is being trapped on a bus that plays "Little Man"...on 3 separate occasions.

Lost Highway cornfused the hell out of me.

Loved The Thin Red Line, better book though.

 

there is a independent movie calle "cube". very cool, dont really get the end. Check it out though. its well worth it.

sally field was hot in that movie.

 

I remember that movie, actually pretty good little movie. The sequels, which get worse and worse mainly because they just rehash the first movie's plot with new people, do explain a bit more but not enough to say I understand what the hell that cube was in the first place
