Moving on. ( I guess nobody like movies what begin with A)
<b>Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery</b>. Say what you will about the inferior sequels ( and although they have funny moments, they are derivative, and so are inferior) this was and is a funny bizarre film. I think everyone where I worked was doing Austin impersonations BEFORE the movie even opened. I remember a manager getting fed up with all the "Yeah, baby!"s...and Liz Hurley is definitely the <i>hottest</i> Austin babe. I definitely had a full on robot chubby during that deleted scene on the raft. Liz wearing Ursala's white Dr. No bikini is the greatest invention since the self cleaning oven.
<b>Austin Powers in The Spy Who Shagged Me</b> Not as funny as the first film, but still full of moments. Not a big fan of Heather Graham either. But I DID buy it, so it's on the list.
I have yet to pick up GoldMember since the budget is tighter than it was when I was springing for these.
The A list...
Moderators: Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons, Batman

<br />And another film that nobody else likes ( well, normal people anyway. I bet everybody here thinks it's....GROOVY.)
<b>Army of Darkness</b>. Bruce Cambell is the BOMB. Read his autobiography "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B movie actor" The Evil Dead trilogy is sweet. But this is the first one I saw in the theatres. I saw it opening nite, midnight showing and I had no idea. It was sold out and everyone in the audience was buzzing. Cheers erupted when Ash showed up onscreen. And when he said "Groovy." FORGET IT! The audience went WILD. Anyway, this is one of the most quotable movies of all time. And like Armageddon, I have two copies on DVD. The meek Universal offering and the sweet Anchor Bay 2 disc set ( The first one, this movie has been rereleased so many times on DVD, I've lost count.)
<b>GROOVY.</b>

yeah, it was a fairly sweet experience. And not being clued in makes it even more memorable.
Onto the Kiddie movies....
<b>Alice in Wonderland</b> A Disney offering with some surreal mushroom induced animation sequences. Those Disney guys in the 50's were whacked out on shit. And I love to say "Mustard? Let's don't be silly!" in an Ed Wynn voice.
<b>The Aristocats</b>These Disney movies really show thier age when you watch them. This one totally reeks of 70s dialogue, daddi-o. And Disney movies are rampant with fuckin' funny stereotypes. Check out the totarry asian Siamese cat with the squinty eyes and big buck teeth. And they won't release Song of the South? Man...hypocrites.
<b>Atlantis</b> A pretty exciting cartoon. Kind of slipping off the 2-d tip but still good. I kinda wish Disney would go back to the musicals though. All their best toons have been musicals.

And the grand finale to the A-list....
<b>ALIEN</b> The horror movie of the franchise. Ridley Scott is the Shit. Tell me it does not scare you shitless every time Dallas is down in the vents and Veronica Cartright is screaming for him to get out of there! Oh Jesus! It's right there! Oh God!!! Do not watch this alone at night. Of course, I never understood why she had to shut everything down to go back and get the cat...
<b>ALIENS</b> The war movie of the franchise. James Cameron is the Shit. My parents took me to see this in the theatre.
(Thinking back, I was only 11. Considering the violence and scariness, that was sorta bizarre on their part) This was my first exposure to the Alien franchise, and I didn't realize it was a sequel at the time. WARNING: 11 year olds should not quote the line "Whoopty Fuckin' Doo" to their mothers. Very bad. I learned that the hard way. This movie holds up very well after all these years.
<b>ALIEN3</b> The prison movie of the franchise. David Fincher is the Shit. Most people hate this one since they killed off Newtand <s>Reese</s> Hicks in the opening credits (which are cool opening credits by the way) but I think it's as good if not better than the others. I always say if this one had come out first, the others would be inferior films. I especially like the supporting roles. Charles Dutton and ESPECIALLY Charles Dance as the doctor. I could watch a whole movie just about his character. Brilliant.
<b>Alien Ressurection</b> The...uh...sellout of the franchise. The french guy is just plain shitty. Some cool moments (Watch Michael Wincott and tell me he shouldn't be playing Frank Castle.) Winona Ryder steals the movie...badoomp tss! It's really hit and miss. I can watch it from time to time and not throw up, but it is the weakest of the four.
Anybody getting the Alien Supreme Deluxe 10 disc set this winter? So much Alien DVD you will barf. Each movie gets 2 discs and then and extra 2 discs of behind the scenes. Sadly, no director's cut of 3 though...
And a little PS:
<b>About Schmidt</b>. Never seen it, but I got it for Father's Day. I have yet to open it. But since it's on my shelf, it goes on the list.
So there you have it. The A list. The B list is coming soon...
