Which DVD best defines your generation?
« on: Feb 18, 2002 at 11:57 PM »
mine would have to be Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Growing up in a time of conformists this graphic and nauseating mix of sex, drugs and violence with surf music serving as a soundtrack boldly pronounces that being different is a good thing.

So you also wear the Michael Jackson V Shape Jackets which BTW introduced here as a FAD by a young Aga Mulach in the 80's??

Me, I cannot forget it while I was at the 3 level elementary wearing the Thriller Red V Shirt of Michael on Christmas party... ;D

Man, I am counting the years...

For Teen to College Angst: THE BREAKFAST CLUB

Post-Graduation Insecurities: ST. ELMO'S FIRE (MY ALL-TIME FAVE)

Reality Check with the World: WALL STREET

One night, I happened to catch Rob Lowe as the pragmatic White House adviser in The West Wing, right after viewing St. Elmo's Fire. The transformation was jarring: from hedonistic sexy bum without a future to a self-confident man of the world not above pulling a few dirty tricks now and then. And I wonder: how have WE aged?

I really loved this movie back when I was in elementary, particularly Part 1!  I hope a special edition DVD of this is in the works...   :)  right now kasi, Pan & Scam version with no bonus features pa lang ang available!

Yeah, a making-of would be cool, plus interviews with Morita and Macchio. Listening to what the villains have to say should also be interesting. Then maybe we can have an expert discuss the various moves they used for the movies. I had wanted to snap up Karate Kid 1 in Astrovision, but the lack of special features was a letdown.

I grew up a sci-fi fanatic, so the defining movies of my high school days would have to be Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) and Blade Runner.  The former transports the familiar gothic "house of horror," Hammer films formula to outer space with chilling, atmospheric results, while the latter is perhaps the finest example of cyberpunk film noir.

Although Blade Runner exploits its material and milieu to travel well beyond the boundaries of traditional film noir, to become a dark meditation on the human condition, the yearning to rejoin with one's creator, and what it means to be truly human.  For which we have Philip K. Dick's feverish "Do Androids Dream of Electric SHeep to thank.  But Ridley Scott must be lauded for packing so much dense, purely visual information and subtletly into this movie.  I've noticed, though, that younger audiences tend to zone out at the film's deliberate (read: plodding) pace.  Nevertheless, for me Blade Runner represents a high point in the short history of sci-fi cinema.
It's always darkest just before it gets pitch black.

None, as most Filipino movies are not released on DVD.
