Quote from: punchdrunk23Well, I'm glad someone at least saw it.
it's one of the most popular films of the 80s.

Yes it is, but nary a word of it has been spoken of it on this board.  :-D

because it is derivative. in an objectionable way.

Derivative.  Right.  Still pissed over our argument a few days ago?  :wink:

Slinging words like derivative at me only makes you look like a fool, my friend.  
I would love to know why you think The Big Chill is derivative.  Despite the fact that all art is derivative.  I just thought I'd fling that artsy fartsy shit back at you.  :roll:

Shit.  And here I thought we were going to have a fascinating, thought-provoking conversation...but alas, it's degenerated to 'yo mom' jokes. Typical.

As are you and I. But he didn't explain himself.  Kinda dissappointed.

I'm sorry, but you all have missed the best movie that makes use of Stones' music. The correct answer is Coming Home. Full versions of Out Of Time, Jumpin' Jack Flash, and Sympathy For The Devil.

But Mean Streets, Goodfellas, and Casino tie for a very close second.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Fuck. :(

I forgot to add an "Other" option. :(

I suck at making polls. :(

Also, the Jerry Seinfeld doc "Comedian" made good use of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking".

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is probably my favorite song ever. :(

There was a good cover of "Dead Flowers" at the end of "The Big Lebowski" too. :(

What about "Miss Amanda Jones" in "Some Kind Of Wonderful"?  :(


Also, "Jumpin' Jack Flash (live version)" in "Night Shift"?  :(

Can you turn the music down?

I can turn it down, I can turn it up. I can switch it from the front speakers to the back. I can make it reverberate. --

Yes, but can you turn it DOWN?

Quote from: ShanghaiOrangeDon't you frown at me. Cheer up! :(

I can't. I just found out I'm derivative.  :(

I think Ruby Tuesday in Royal Tenenbaums really just makes the scene complete.  I can't argue with most of the other suggestions though.
