Some of the best movies from the 1980s-1990s.
Jim Jarmusch's 1995 revisionist western (two non-traditional westerns
today!) "Dead Man" is one of the best movies of the 90s. It's the story
of Bill Blake (Johnny Depp) as he struggles to survive
an onslaught of assassins with the help of Nobody. Thankfully he sort
of goes from wimpy accountant to gun slinging badass. His poetry is
white man's metal. Neil Young provides awesome interpretative background
music. Iggy Pop and Billy Bob Thorton have a little part, but it's one
of the most memorable scenes in the movie. Bob Mitchum's special
appearance is also very cool. I especially love the ending sequence,
from arriving at the canoe tribe 'till the end credits. It's on Netflix
Instant, y'all! Glorious Black and White!
"A Fish Called Wanda"
is a 1988 heist comedy film that is pretty weird but really funny if
you're willing to let loose a bit. My granny Helen,
showed me this a few times growing up, so, it carries some nostalgia
points. But I think it's fair to say that most will enjoy this smart
comedy about a bunch of people trying to con each other into getting
some diamonds. Kevin Kline is hilarious. He thinks he's Nietzschean
superman, but really is just a very jealous dumb ass. But John Cleese,
as might be expected, takes the gold as far as amount of laughs goes.
Jamie Lee Curtis is actually pretty sexy and funny as well. Overall it's
a hoot! Watch it on Netflix, yuns!
