Its not exactly a feel good movie, but it will sure make you feel something. <br /><br />If you want to venture into Herzog territory, you can take two roads, you can watch some of his documentaries, which are excellent (Grizzly Man is amazing stuff!) or you can watch some of his films, I recommend watching Fitzcarraldo, if you are in the mood for a heavy dramatic and incredibly amusing film. A man against all odds! AGUIRRE: THE WRATH OF GOD is also a good one.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-84857686088865071562010-06-05T09:26:02.280-07:002010-06-05T09:26:02.280-07:00I had completely forgotten about GUMMO, has it rea...I had completely forgotten about GUMMO, has it really been over 10 years since its release?

It would have been extremely difficult for me to narrow it down to five.<br /><br />JULIEN DONKEY BOY is worth seeing. I think Korine's upcoming film TRASH HUMPERS (or something like that) will be his most "bizarro" film yet.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08390842606960468754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-52587836792431131862010-06-04T17:15:22.700-07:002010-06-04T17:15:22.700-07:00Julien Donkey Boy, Ive yet to see, but Im on a mis...Julien Donkey Boy, Ive yet to see, but Im on a mission! <br /><br />Of Korine's films (all of which could have figured into this countdown) Ive seen Mr. Lonely with Diego Luna. Its a crazy movie about a Michael Jackson impersonator who isn't happy in the world because no one "gets him" until he finds an island where everyone impersonates somebody, its a really bizarre film. <br /><br />Herzog has a cameo in it, he plays a priest who takes a bunch of nuns on a flight to go sky diving! You should hear the nuns dialog when she throws herself out of the plane as she falls talking to God...awesome! <br /><br />Recommended for an evening of the bizarre.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-89210390908254551622010-06-04T16:43:23.036-07:002010-06-04T16:43:23.036-07:00Excellent category for a countdown, guys, and some...Excellent category for a countdown, guys, and some interesting picks, one or two of which I've not seen before, while a few others are old favourites.

I havent seen GUMMO but I have seen one of Korine's other films - JULIEN DONKEY BOY which featured Herzog in a prominent role.

Korine was interviewed in one of his fan sites hoarmony-korine.com and on that interview he mentions something about wearing band t-shirts: <br /><br />"America is all about this recycling, this interpretation of pop. I want you to see these kids wearing Bone Thugs & Harmony t-shirts and Metallica hats - this almost schizophrenic identification with popular imagery. If you think about, that's how people relate to each other these days, through these images."Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-18897364692230670002010-06-04T12:44:46.676-07:002010-06-04T12:44:46.676-07:00I saw GUMMO at the Toronto Film Festival the year ...I saw GUMMO at the Toronto Film Festival the year it came out and Korine came out and delivered a hilarious Q&A afterwards (he had on a Slayer t-shirt which I thought was a nice touch). When someone asked him about the white trash guy who wrestled the chair in his friend's kitchen, without hestitation Korine deadpanned that the guy won 40% of his fights. heh.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-17520168209103286292010-06-04T12:43:14.527-07:002010-06-04T12:43:14.527-07:00Hey Shaun, Im a huge Herzog fan, but Ive yet to se...Hey Shaun, Im a huge Herzog fan, but Ive yet to see this one.
