it's not a film from the eighties, but a film (among other things) about the 80s...
and a very good one, actually!

Well, I'm glad that someone liked it. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif The music was good, but in my opinion, that was it.

Is'nt that the one with Christian Bale? If so I LOVED ithttp://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif How about the scene where he is "doing the deed" while checking himself out in the mirrorhttp://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//PSYCHO.gif

A kindhearted woman gains respect.

Maybe I just didn't "get" it?http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//confused.gif I found the storyline very hard to follow...it all got confusing.

I don't know. I guess the acting was very good, but I just didn't care for the film as a whole. Maybe it was just me?

If I'm here and your here doesn't that make it our time?

I thought that it was one of the dumbest films I ever saw,and I loved the movie"Thinner",so what does that tell you.http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//wink.gif

If the world thinks your a Demon,you might as well Dance in the fire

well, not exactly my kinda music in the film, with a few exceptions (Paid in Full - Coldcut RMX).
anyway, what makes the film so good is that it sez sumthin about American society and American politics.
Or rather, policy towards some less fortunate countries (remember Reagan in the end?)
Also, AMERICAN PSYCHO shows that the powers that be will protect their own, as long as they don't work against them. Kill a few people? No problem, as long as you fit in otherwise.
That's just MY interpretation (a colleage claimed it was "too linear")

Mr Cranky on 'Thinner':

The only real lesson in this film is "stay away from gypsies." Apparently, gypsies are really vindictive and if you piss them off they'll put a hex on you and screw you good.

sounds like a reallly shittty movie....
anyway, is there a Stephen King movie that duznt suck?
Kubricks the shining doesnt count!

:thumb: Oh I just saw this movie! It is really good and creepy. I guess it takes place in the late 80's.

Do you know that Christian Bale character works in the same fictional firm as Tom Hanks did in the movie The Bonfire of the Vanities in Wall Street NYC.

Christian Bale...YUM! I loved this movie, there's something too awesome about a murderous psycho jamming "Walking on Sunshine" on his walkman! :thumb:
