2. Conspiritorial (sic) mole men.

Psycho Killers In Love:
1) Two everyday people, that happen to be psycho killers, meet and fall in
love.
2) Unlike most killer love movies, the body count stays stready, they dont
interfer with each other hobbies or get jelous of each others kills. He
says "Look honey! i de-feeted her!" when she gets home from a long day of
killing people at the beauty salon. ITs well lit, she wears a pink shirt,
and he looks abit like ron jeremy. The sound track is played on a casio
s-9.
And queen of the desert is one of the best movies. thanks for mentioning it

lets see....
Run Lola Run
1) If you like Memento you might aswell see this movie.
2) Actually there is a good plot to the movie other than seeing a woman
bust her ass to stop her boyfriend's plan to rob a place.
The Mothman Prophecies
1) Supernatural entity that precedes catastrophes
2) Some not so every day occurrences...and camera shots.
Anatomy (one and two)
1) Secret society of doctors that perform experiments and research at any
cost.
2) not alot of sequels that live up to the original.

The Mothman Prophecies is a lot better if you take a field trip to Point
Pleasant the day after watching it, and hang out in the cemetary and let
your kids climb on the tombstone of Chief Cornstalk, who cursed the town in
the first place, then buy a mothman doll in the freakiest little head shop
in West Virginia while a state trooper is in there talking to the hippie at
the counter, then scare yourself silly going into an abandoned shack in the
hills just outside of town...

PeeWee's Big Adventure
1. What could be more goth than going on a roadtrip cross country to
retrieve the stolen object that you obsess about most. Plus, Large Marge is
really scary. With music by Danny Elfman, and directed by Tim Burton, this
has got to be one of the sneakiest and stealthiest goth films ever.
2. PeeWee Herman doing the shoe dance in front of a dozen scary bikers.

American Beauty
(1) Suburban Teenage Angst at its finest, artsy style filmmaking,
seduction...and of course death.
(2) Because only a goth could appreciate the true beauty of a plastic bag
riding on the wind.
K-Pax
(1) Rational Insanity is very goth.
(2) Because most insane people don't turn out to be visitors in a body.
An added plus to both movies: Kevin Spacey plays characters with such a
lovely darkness trapped inside.

Ghostworld:
1) Almost like american beauty, but different. Discovery of music. The
bus finally does come.
2) Unlike other movies, the title doesn't tell you what the movie is about
- there's no ghosts - but if you look a little deeper there are.

So Dev, you actually get around to watching any of these movies, or is this
like Cliff Notes for the too busy?
The Virigin Suicides
1. Because this movie has very little to do with sucide. It's full of
ghosts, innocence and how painful it is to be alive.
2. It is honest and beautiful. Also, because the main characters in the
film are the less important then the message.

Darn, Dom you beat me to it.
The Devil's Backbone
1) A ghost in a Spanish orphange seeks vengence for his murder.
2) The plot revoles around the Spanish civil war and gold (greed)...and a
symolic bomb in the court yard.
Fight Club
1) Rule one you do not talk about fight club.
2)You do not talk about fight club.
3)project mayham
Dude Wheres My Car
1) Everyone needs a good laugh now and then.
2)An actual good plot, silly but good (wouldn't you like to know where your
car was?)

I'm good at that, although Dev beat me to ghost world, by like a minute and
a half....so there....I have to admit, Ghostworld was a much better first
date movie than I had anticpated. Unfortunately on the second date we
couldn't see the movie we wanted to see and ended up settling for Zoolander
on the assumption that no movie could be so bad that it wouldn't be at
least laughable, and, sigh, she never called me again.
In Chicago we had a movie theater that had gone out of business and the
last movie it had run was "Dude, Where's my Car?" Some streetkids had
played around with the sign and it brought me endless joy to see the sign
"Dude, my car!" whenever I drove past.
Ridicule
1. A fantastic french film set in the France in just before the beginning
of the Revolution. It contains love, death, deceit, betrayl, and most
importantly wit.
2. Scientific explanation of the various categories of witty repartie.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture:
1) Kirk and company stand in awe (half the movie) minimized by the sheer
size of V-ger, thus realizing their mortality and how close they are to
Death. Ilia dies and comes back as a soul-less android who then remembers
how falling in love was.
2) Spock dresses in black and talks about death
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn:
1) Kahn cites Shakespeare, Chekov cites Tolstoi, Spock cites Dickens...
everybody reads and is cool. David Marcus plays God with bad consequences
and so we are all reminded of our mortality and how close we are to
Death.
2) Spock dies.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
1) A bunch of old friends gather together to search for the body of their
lost friend and then engage in some dark ritual nobody ever heard about to
revive him. When he is revived her remembers almost nothing and so we exit
the cinema wondering about the nature of life and death.
2) Spock comes back to life. The Enterprise dies.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home:
1) Mankind is doomed due to their own stupidity. Anything more gothic than
that?. There is a punk that hates everyone, a dinner in a bad restaurant
with bad beer because money doesn't allow for more, Kirk is a man with an
idea of about how to save the world that he can't tell anyone without being
ridiculed, the entire crew are looked down by the way they dress. In the
end you exit the cinema wondering about how self-important mankind is,
though being reminded of your own mortality and how close you are to
Death.
2) Spock gives a show about how to dress weird and even then look
dignified. The enterprise is reborn and now it's either a Phoenix or a
zombie (as half the crew are beginning to look like...)
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier:
1) The movie is about the existance of God, and the following of one's
beliefs just to find they were wrong all of the time and you have been
manipulated by foreign usage of your dearest religious concepts. Is there
anything more gothic than Sybock's soul?. There is also a cool klingon
female in leathers (with nice legs) who could snap your spine. Kirk defies
God on his face. Everybody dresses really weird. In the end you go ot
wondering about the nature of God as related to man-made deities and
thinking of your own mortality and how close you are to Death
2) God itself comes around and he turns out to be evil. And most of all,
God turns out NOT to be Spock
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
1) Chang, a 23rd century Dracula. Everyone cites Shakespeare all the time.
Lots of blood. The king is killed by his treacherous black knight and a
helpless princess (dressed in black leather and high-heel boots) inherits
the throne. The black knight sees he can't control the princess so decides
to kill her and rule him instead. Death, murder, pain, trason, poetry and
kinky transexual action (Kirk kisses a... well...)
2) Spock talks about HIS DEATH while having a drink all dressed in black,
under the candlelight, with a woman much younger than him and new to a
Scene in which she only wants to be as über as Spock is, without
understanding that only Spock is Cool, and he didn't try to be.
Next time the TMG movies

The Secret of Nimh:
1 ~ An animated movie about mice with some amazing artwork and cool names,
Nicodemus. It blends mysticism and science in a unique way.
2 ~ Under the cute exterior lies a message of animal rights and genetic
experimentation gone wrong that your local PETA representative would be
eager to explain in detail.
Hamlet, the Kenneth Branagh version:
1 ~ It's Shakespeare done without any alterations. Billy Crystal is a
grave digger.
2 ~ No movie that I've seen about a Shakespearean tagedy have been so true
to form. Titus was an amazing movie, but see other comments below for
elaboration...
Memento is good, Fight club is great, Ghostworld is *strange,* Princess
Bride is lord and master... Titus was an amazing rendition of Shakespeare,
but it was quite strange, what with the little kid being in the scenes
witnessing such things, and the cars... Since I have yet to study Titus in
depth, I will not say anymore lest my tongue betray me. By the way, the
director of Memento has another movie called The Following I think, and I
can't seem to find a copy of it. Perhaps it is as good as Memento.

I think only Arthegarn could make all of the star trek movies Goth
Drop Dead Fred
1) Because everyone needs friends that aren't very real. Because it uses
symbolism that is totally believable and works with dream analysis and
normal psychology.
2) Other Kids movies don't adress adult themes in such a subtle but
accurate way.
Dead Man
1) Johnny Depp is mostly dead for the whole movie. The indian's name is
Nobody. It's black and white, but doesn't seem dated in the least. The
whole movie is dripping with irony.
2) Nobody but Johnny Depp could play a mostly dead man that well. It's an
obvious goth movie title (like ghostworld), but (like ghostworld) the movie
isn't an obviously goth movie - it's about cowboys and indians It's stealthy
because you have to read between the lines to see how goth it is.

8 Mile
1 Most of the movie takes place at night
2 Unlike mos tmovies about rappers, the main character isn't black
The Neon Bible
1 The way it is shot, as though you are watching a play, makes the viewer
extremely uncomfortable
2 Unlike most dramas, you don't know why you continue to watch it becasue
you have no expectations for the characters

Sleuth
1) Micheal Caine wears a clown suit, there are more wind-ups than actors,
and everyone Dies. except the wind-ups.
2) The wind-ups arent alive, there are no monsters, and you cant love or
hate any character. Except the sailor.
And Arth, that was sooo impressive. I have been laughing about the Spock as
God idea for days now.

The Closet
Its a foreign film about homosexuality, condoms, relationships, and nervous
breakdowns. and really cute kittens.
The toast goes out the window, he isnt gay, she is actually a decent
person, it actually tricks you into looking, and her boobs are real.
Oh and its a comedy that is actually funny, translates well, and passes no
judgement on anyone other than the do-gooder PR man. and his only
punishment is that he has to eat the beets.
