Raising Arizona is one of the earliest movies by the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan. If you liked the Big Lebowski, Fargo, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, and / or Millers Crossing, You will love Raising Arizona. I have never found a Coen brothers movie to be bad; some of them are just better than others. Should we see one of those next?
If not may I suggest Army of Darkness as a midnight movie. You really need to see this one to live a full life, over the top campy horror comedy, with a bit of Sword and Sorcery and steam punk thrown in to boot. It stars Bruce Cambell, some of you may remember him as the famous bounty hunter Brisco County Jr. he showed up occasionally on Xena episodes too. Army of Darkness is the third in the Evil Dead trilogy and the best of the three. The first one is practically a student movie, but it's still fun because Sam Raimi is a great director.

I believe that Army Of Darkness is the best Christmas movie of all time. It's a tradition with my friends..

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that one. If I have to pick a xmas movie it would be Groundhogday. It has that feelgood vibe about it. Still there's 24 hours of Xmas that makes for a lot of movie time. Of course the other half would probably foist a marathon on me, most likely LoTR or Matrix, possibly even both. That is if we celebrated Xmas, my old lady is Jewish.

Is sipping whiskey any different to the normal sort? 'cause theres plenty of that over in the drinks cabinet, just behind the projector.
Oh! I love oh brother where art thou, and raising arizona has just been added to my dvd selection list (fingers crossed)
though I have to say, for the last several years, my christmas movies have been Amelie and the fifth element.
not particularly christmassy, but the tinsel on the telly helps.
I'm so glad that you're all enjoying your self, and in the (early) spirit of christmas...
mulled wine anyone?

Holiday movies... Mmmm I gotta say what about A Christmas Story? come on, it's a classic! You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!!
Otherwise I tradtionally watch the following:
Around Halloween: Buffy: Halloween
Thanksgiving: Buffy: Pangs
Christmas: I don't watch the stupid Buffy episode with the first evil and Angel all suicidal. Can't it's too lame (although at Boilsandblindingtorment.com they do an excellent version of it in stick people theater). Instead for Christmas I watch Out of Gas and The Message. Something hopeful about those two.
Also I find Club Dredd to always lift the spirits, 'Be happy in your work pear.' 'We have jungle rats?' 'Cos it's fuckin' Fashion Show Wednesday!' 'Pina-Colada-Berg!'
Also, we so need a screening of the Dark Crystal around here!!!
Whoa, it's early, did I fall asleep in my chair?

I go to bed for the night and I miss out on Army of Darkness? 
Oh well.
And if we're gonna talk about Coen films, might I suggest The Hudsucker Proxy? It's one of their lesser known films. It's about Tim Robbins as a dumb businessman who's hired as the president of a company (it's a scheme for the board members to get rich quick), and he ends up turning it into a powerhouse when he invents the hula hoop. It's a little slow, but it's classy as hell, and hilarious to boot.
My Christmas perennial has always been Die Hard. There's just something about "Yippie-ki-yay, motherfucker," that puts me in the holiday mood.
Well, I'm off to class for a bit. Back in a few.

I always though Desparodo blew doors on Die Hard. Particularly considering that it was shot on one third the budget.

Good morning, fresh Krispy Kremes and lattes for all!
Anyone got a CD to put on? I've played most of mine to death, and it's too early for Cowboy Junkies. How about the new Brian Eno?
