Everybody should (attempt to) watch 'Naked Lunch' at least once in their life.

Also, Ken Russel's 'Altered State' is also a bit of a head f*ck.

[Squids]

Steel Magnolias - sorry guys, but Sally Field's crying scene is one of the best I've ever witnessed. She could wring tears from a stone.

Caleb

You probably don't get the commercial they have running here where there is a guy who is brutally honest with everyone. He tells his date that he's never slept with a girl before and he lives with his mom. He's playing cards with his buddies and he says "Have you guys seen Steel Magnolias? I was bawling."

Then the narrator says "Way to be a straight shooter Jim" Good commercial. This reminded me of that.

[baggio]

Grosse Point Blank

I think most of my other choices have been covered elsewhere.

[baggio]

Plus it made Dan Ackroyd look good - no small achievement!

Yes, it was mentioned.

By the way, the person I've been doing drum sessions with recently tours with the Blue Brothers. He says that Ackroyd joins them once in a while. If they are playing in your town and you want to go to the show let me know! Maybe I can get you some tickets.
