There are a lot, but I’m with The Corduroy Suit on Kenji singing “Life is Short, Fall In Love Sweet Maiden” in Ikiru. Totally.
Hmm…
the end of Henry & June
Breakfast at Tiffany’s – when they look for Cat in the rainy alley
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest when the chief suffocates McMurphy
and I think I remember crying over The Brown Bunny too…
I was born with a love of films of all kinds, but I would have to say that seeing Eraserhead at the midnight show when I was like 13 sealed the deal on me being a total movie geek, because I absolutely LOVED it. I also remember seeing Scorsese’s Last Temptation of Christ in a small theater in Norwalk, Connecticut when I was 11 and there were protesters outside… behold the power of art!
John Waters is one of my favorite people on earth. Cry Baby… so awesome, although I do love the weird trashy stuff too. And his one man show is brilliant – This Filthy World.
I am looking forward to Danton. It’s the best thing I’ve seen so far about the French Revolution and really captures the essence of it. Georges-Jacques Danton is one of the most fascinating characters of that time. I’ve had a crappy VHS copy of it for years!
…basically all of the stupid movies that my husband loves. Beerfest, etc. If he were to answer this question, it would be a list of all of the films that I love.

Favorite use of a song in a film. over 3 years ago
I concur with Fletch. In addition to “In Dreams” in Blue Velvet, “Love Letters” was also awesome.
I still love the opening credits of Pretty In Pink… The Psychedelic Furs

Something Weird Video over 3 years ago
SWV is brilliant… the trailer collections were a big hit at parties.
The video place I used to work at had all of the vintage porno and bizarro sex loops. It was fun to see what kind of people would rent them.

Crispin Glover, really? over 3 years ago
Yes, really. Gawd I love Crispin. The Charlie’s Angels movies are one of my guilty pleasures because of him. And he was perfect as Bartleby.
Rubin & Ed… I have to see again. It’s been a long time.
I remember thinking that he was a really bad actor in River’s Edge… until I experienced actual speed freaks. Then I saw that he was truly a genius.
I have a couple of his art/book thingies too. I still have yet to see What Is It?
