One thing I will give 24 Hour Party People is that, as I recall, it's one of the few movies besides Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me that really captures what a loud club is like. The sound was amazing, but also the atmosphere, everything. I remember feeling unsatisfied with the ending, but maybe that's part of music history so suffer.

Since it's not the kind of thing you're likely to seek out, another shout for Fly Away Home: Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin in genuinely fun/moving family/nature adventure directed by Carroll Ballard (The Black Stallion), Never Cry Wolf).

People have been quoting things for a solid decade.
yeah - on other boards! for some reason here they always say xpost here. xpost. geeze, which xpost goddamn it! there's always only like 927 answers per question/thread to chose from. i mean, yeah, i know, suppose i could theoretically decipher from context, reading all previous posts, but sometimes, what can i say tldr (<-useful webslang from other board[s?])
anyway screw it, ilx is ilx, i'm not complaining. i liklove the erase-what-you-were-typing-and-type-something-else thing they do here

I've seen 13 of these. Probably would have voted for Together.

ok, so i'm making my way through various thread recommendations, and if i could go back in time and change the past i'd totally give happy accidents a vote.

DIG! was an interesting movie but i'd have liked it better if i liked the bands at *all*. all that talk about crazy dude's staggering genius and i'm thinking "it's just a mediocre indie take on 60's kitch, why does anybody even care!?!?" i remember being completely underwhelmed with them in the 90's or whenever they came out as well but i suppose they must have had their fans. still, interesting enough flick.
so, what should i watch next? i've now seen (in order of most enjoyment):
idiocracy (2006) 2moon (2009) 1ghost dog: the way of the samurai (1999) 724 hour party people (2002) 10happy accidents (2000) 0the iron giant (1999) 8bubba ho-tep (2002) 0marwencol (2010) 3DIG! (2004) 1layer cake (2005) 0+ i tried to watch cold comfort farm but couldn't even make it past the first 10 minutes.
i tried to watch "together" but the subtitles seemed screwed up, so not that one.

ok, i understood maybe 80% of that? 70%? lets be generous and say 71%. i may watch it again today to see if it makes more sense. i understand it's meant to be convoluted and hard to parse the first time around...
anyway good recommend, i like time travel stories.

two family house!! i loved that movie when it came out. it really spoke to me. michael rispoli's such an underrated actor. i actually had a dream with him in it a few weeks ago - i told him he was really underrated and he thanked me and invited me to eat a spaghetti dinner with his family, which i accepted

Rispoli is really great in the otherwise-useless The Rum Diary.
