This was a fun movie...
Certainly spoke to me in ways that it probably didn't to most people.
$20 Million budget.

I know there will never be a lot of us, but it always warms my heart when I see somebody else trying to break free of the Matrix.
Because for many of you, the algorithm isn't just feeding you anymore.
The algorithm has gotten to know you better than you know yourselves.
You have become the part of algorithm.

I'd say that The Mask is probably too big budget for this thread, just because it's 30 years old.
I'm not saying that you need to bust out the inflation calculator every time you post here, but at only $18 Million the budget in 2026 would be over $40 Million today, which I don't consider to be low-budget at all.
I think $20 Million in 2026 dollars and below would be a good framework for movies in this thread.

I watched "Wild in the Streets" (1968) with the old man the other day. That was pretty fun for a low budget movie of the time. My old man saw it in the theater when he was 16 and said he bought the album. Pretty sweet soundtrack, although two of the songs have the same titles as other songs from around the time that made it a bit confusing. I know one of them was "The Shape of Things To Come". That title has been used many times, including by Audioslave. I actually thought he was talking about the Yarbirds song when he first mentioned it, but that song is actually called "Shapes of Things".
When they played the song "Fourteen or Fight", it was driving me nuts trying to figure out which song I'd heard before that had the same notes as the melody of the chorus of that song... (Starting at 1:24)
After trying about a million combinations of words on google and youtube I finally somehow found it...
1967, huh? Well who the hell ripped off who?
Well... that was a remake. The original was from 1965.
Mystery solved.
Oh, right... Yes. That was Richard Pryor on drums. I never seen him anywhere close to that young before. He had a good line or two in the movie, but his comedic chops were severely underutilized.

Hey Jaynez... You see the last post?
You've probably never seen that movie and probably wouldn't enjoy it, but I was interested in what you thought about the music. I'm sure of anybody here you will know what I'm talking about with the melody.
I enjoyed it. I think my dad got a kick out of me enjoying it. He said "let me know if you don't like it and we can watch something else", which is something we started to say to each other on occasion after a few really crappy movies we suffered through together, mostly starring The Man Himself, Nic Cage.
I found myself thinking that I would have LOVED this movie if I was a kid or even in my 20's back then. I said "you probably were on board with all of this at 16 years old, huh?".
He said "No. I knew it was all bullshit back then too... but I really loved the soundtrack".
That got a pretty good laugh out of me because I don't doubt that it's true.
