OK I'm slightly embaressed to say, that strike back was the first Kevin Smith film I watched! And I loved it first time. That's okay, I saw Mallrats before Clerks and my first thoughts were that it was bollocks. Only bought it out of curiosity after seeing Chasing Amy and Dogma. Enjoy it more now with every viewing. Mind you, I can never watch a film with Joey Lauren Adams in it now without thinking of her sexual disclosures in Chasing Amy - as graphic as anything in Clerks!! ;D

I am yet to see Dogma though, is that any good??? It is. A little larger in scale than most of his stuff, but still reassuringly crude in parts - the Shit Monster for example. Chris Rock, you'll be pleased to know has a vey prominent role, and of the few films I can remember seeing him in (in The Fifth Element, he made me want to smash the TV!!! ), I think this is by far his funniest role. Having Alanis Morrissette show up at the end as God in a bit disconcerting too! Oh, and Jersey Girl really isn't that bad, is just not very Kevin Smith. And J-Lo dies after about 10 minutes!!!

No that was Chris Tucker in the Fifth Element trust me I'm a big fan of Chris Rock.
I'll have to watch it some time, but I can't find a good enough deal for it on DVD.

Sorry, you're right on that one. I'm not a huge fan, as I'm sure you can now tell. But he was VERY funny in Dogma. Bummer about the price, I can remember not so long ago HMV were selling it at £2.99 in their sales.

As we're a relatively young bunch on here, thought it may be a bit more of a challenge to come up with a personal top 10 on this subject. I've had to rack my brains to just about scrape together my list : 1. Eraserhead 2. Raging Bull 3. Schindler's List 4. Night of the Living Dead 5. Psycho 6. A Hard Days Night 7. Clerks 8. The Elephant Man 9. The Last Picture Show 10. It's a Wonderful Life Honourable mentions to 'The Man Who Wasn't There' and 'Manhattan' too. I'm sure that a few of you can shoot me down in flames on this one. Must confess that I don't really watch many movies made before the mid-60's. I think everything was a bit too safe and sanitised in Hollywood before the likes of Easy Rider and Bonnie & Clyde heralded that golden period when the directors called the shots in the industry. Metropolis Nosfurato Ice cold in Alex The Longest Day Raging Bull Doctor Strangelove Citizen Kane La Haine Them The day the Earth Stood Still Not in any order but some of my faves

Hey Travis remember we were talking about Dogma and The Fifth Element on Tuesday? Well I've just found out both of them are on Channel 4 this week, Dogma tonight and The Fifth Element on Saturday what a coincidence.
I'll definitely be watching Dogma tonight for the first time.
