I apologize. My previous entry in the greatest flicks list contained some glaring omissions. (Can you contain an omission? Sounds wrong. Let's say it had some omissions. Nah. It omitted some omissions.)
At any rate, after a consultation with my bartender, I've come up with a new top three.
Repo Man. The benchmark dating film. When I meet an interesting woman, I put Repo Man in the VCR and watch her reaction. If she stares dumbfoundedly at the screen, then asks, "What's funny about this?," I don't have to waste any more time.
Tape Heads. This one lasted exactly one week in my neighborhood theater, but luckily I was able to catch it several times on the big screen.
Delicatessen. First time I ever had to leave the theater because I was laughing so hard before the opening credits finished rolling.
Is there any doubt these three will show up in the art mag's picks?
Don't forget to set your clocks back.
