Show me a better film than Dead Man

[MeatyPortion]

You can't, can you.



From the compelling music by Neil Young to the disjointed but poignant story line to the steady insanity of the characters, this may be one of the best films ever made.








If you disagree, state your case.

I think I noticed it in the $5 bin at WalMart. Always up for a decent western. Might check it out.

Typically not a fan of westerns, but it could be worth checking out on netflix. I like some of Neil Young's stuff. Some of it is pretty rough (not in a good way). It's almost like he was doing a bunch of drugs when he wrote his music (not in a good way).

Gotta love a little Jim Jarmusch.

Animal House.

End of discussion.

The presence of Johnny Depp in this movie precludes it from the "best ever" classification. Mr Depp did one good movie, maybe 2.

Right. Both Bill and Ted movies. And that's about it.

WTF! Johnny Depp was not in Bill in Ted.

Exactly.

And those movies benefited greatly from his absence.

I see what you did there. Hilarious.

It isn't really a Western IMO.

The thing I like about it is the strong ties to the works of William Blake.

his stuff is very rough, largely because a lot of it is raw emotion, and its a sound he actively seeks out. the way he runs one of his electric guitars is so taxing that the amp has to have a fan constantly running through it to prevent the circuitry from melting. and he was doing a lot of drugs for a lot of his career. he also has done several songs about the problems caused by drug abuse surrounding him (needle and the damage done, tonight's the night). one of my favorite artists regardless. back to the question at hand... two words.... the goonies

 

[JohnFrum1978]

Well, if this is now a discussion on the best movie ever, I'd have to suggest Conan The Barbarian with Jeremiah Johnson as a close runner up.

 

[El Pistolero]

Show me a better film than Dead Man

The Big Lebowski...if you disagree the Dude will come back to bane you.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Shhh. it's starting.

 

[IrregularPulse]

and it's over.
Seriously Meat Portion!? I could reach into my kid's cartoon collection and have a decent chance of pulling out something better.

It wasn't terrible, but thanks to this, my wife now gets the next 15 movie picks she says. haha

 

[Mongrel]

You can't, can you.

Not even Altman could get that cast for so little money.

 

[Vance71975]

Sure i can, two words Boondock Saints!

I beg to differ i can think of at least 4 GREAT movies he has been it, Pirates of the Caribbean series!

 

[iaefebs]

Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill

 

[scrambledegg81]

As a classic movie buff, I'm a tremendous Spencer Tracy fan...sucks that so few vids exist of his stuff online (excluding some from Captains Courageous or Inherit the Wind...too obvious...), but here's a fantastic tribute from Burt Reynolds who was Tracy's protegee:

Armed Response with David Carradine... Great movie or Greatest movie?

 

[arturo7]

Pirates of the Caribbean series!

utter trash

 

[GoldMiner]

Dead Man was one of the dullest movies I've ever seen.

What a waste of a pretty good cast.

Jarmusch movies are typically pretty slow moving and can piss a lot of the general public off.

 

[MeatyPortion]

So much jealousy of Jim Jarmusch's masterpiece in here. You guys have no swag.

 

[arturo7]

I just Netflix'd it.

Not a bad flick. But nothing to start a thread over.
