Ok everybody here knows what a book club is I hope. Now I want to establish a "book" club for movies. Now I will post a movie name and information on the monday of each week and we shall discuss it until the next monday, unless I feel that the discusion is worth of a second week. I will take film suggestions in my inbox. I'm hoping for some good disscusions about films.
The first film on the list is the 1980s dark comedy classic Heathers staring Winona Ryder and Christin Slater.
I think the guy you're going to want to talk to is Thepainter. *not sure* a real movie freak.
I never watched it (waits for backlash)...but I do have a soft spot for Winona Ryder...
I've seen it but many moons ago so I don't remember much. I think I liked it.
now playing: Primus - Winona's Big Brown Beaver
Insert typical super smart ass comment courtesy of thepainter here.
"Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw!"

Jaysus that was a long time ago. I remember seeing it, and thinking it was mildly entertaining, but I've never been a huge Winona Ryder fan. I don't remember this movie making any real lasting impression on me...
One of the only black comedies that I like. "I love my dead gay son."

I saw this movie when it first came out in the theatre, Kelly! I am an old, old man...
Terrific movie though- Slater doing his best Jack Nicholson impression...
Production Note- The company releasing the film originally went under during Heathers release.
Wow, I haven't seen the movie in ages, probably only when it first came out. I remember it as not sucking, but I was in my teens at the time and not much of a movie critic. I think my favorite movie Wynona did was Beetlejuice "I myself, am strange and unusual".
And I have to agree about Christian Slater's imitation, I think its just him. I don't know he did Jack Nicholson impressions as a kid so much that it stuck or what, but he sounds exactly the same in every film or interview I've seen him in.
Winona actually did this film just after she did Beetlejuice, at the age of 17 i think while slater was 19 when he did this, so in their after sex scene she was actually wearing a body suit.(much to her dismay i believe)
I'm with painter here, I watched it when it came out, but I was young and don't remember a whole lot about it. I see where Marylin Manson got his look though.ep180UbEufSQF7OH
Don't know that movie. I have to ask an older sibling about it.

Really i didn't know that it was getting remade. Do you have a link to this information.
I like the part at the end where the leader of the turnbull ACs (I think that was their name) has the bottles on his fingers and he's clanging them together while chanting "warrioooorrs come out to playyyyaaayyy."
Is there a site where I can download the movie for free and watch it?

TH wasn't a Turnbull A/C, I forget what he was but it wasn't Turnbulls. But my favorite gang had to be the Lizzies.
I found this amusing interpretation by someone on IMDB on what the warriors deeper meaning is.
Yeah I know it's based on Greek mythology, but consider this: The Warriors are falsely accused of killing a messianic like leader ("Cyrus" is a thinly veiled variation of "Christ" - and watch the way Cyrus falls after he's shot). On the run from various groups of thugs who pursue and persecute them for this false assumption, the Warriors finally make it to their "homeland" of Coney Island only to realize that they can't find peace there either. At the end, the most powerful gang - the Riffs, agree to carve out Coney Island for The Warriors, but the Riff leader says "the rest is ours." To me, The Warriors symbolize the Jews and Coney Island symbolizes Israel.
Kinda funny but not a bad theory.
That is an interesting look on the deeper meaning of the movie Felix. Personally I hate it when people rip apart movies and books looking for deeper meanings. They're fiction meant to entertain. As for the movie I haven't seen it but it looks up my alley, I'm a fan of 80s entertainment.
well it was actually released in79 but it does fit the 80s cult classic title perfectly. and felix that is an interesting interpretation but one would have to ask the author of the original book the movie was based off of.
