Yeah it's a trip! Not many movies would spend 15 minutes on a weed-infused dream sequence

"Come with me" - Puff Daddy (P Diddy) from Godzilla (1998)

The song peaked at No 2 on the UK charts.

The movie was a colossal failure and got 20% on rotten tomatoes.

Ironically both feature monsters.

I think my phone autocorrected that for some reason... It shouldn't have for a name but you're right

PJ Soles was in it. And of course, the Ramones.

It's been almost 30 years, and I don't think anyone younger than 40 had ever seen it. Its not popular enough for people to show to their kids or anything.

Was it only 15 minutes? High me remembers it as bring in one big dose, then just lil sporadic bursts the rest of the time.

I have a weekly "get high and watch a movie (a mix of "whatever strikes our fancy at the moment", or "missed out on when it came out because we were raised super Christian", with a healthy dose of "pride-related movies") and then watch a few episodes of whatever tv show we're working on" day, so I can confidently say that being stupid high is the best way to watch stuff. Even if we do miss a lot of context and plot from talking about tangentially-related stuff the whole time.

Good times.

This coming month will probably be horror movies (obvz), and I've already picked a movie that actually did scare the absolute shit out of me as a kid, and the memory still has some trauma attached to it for me, but I'm hate-watching it to maybe help heal my poor childhood memory.

And what is it? It would be "Thief in the Night", made in the 70s. Basically a Christian rapture themed movie. I have almost no specific memory of any of the scenes (I saw it when I was a single digit age), but I feel like there was someone who thought they were "saved" and didn't make it or something. That idea and the song on the end credits I forget the exact title now but I assume it's "I wish we'd all been ready" as that line is prominent in the chorus. The idea that someone could think they were saved but not really be (and the fact that all the adults around me didn't seem to have any concern about it) made me feel very, VERY insecure about it, and was probably the first of many, many cracks that finally led to me figuring it out way later.

I spent the next 20ish years "praying the prayer" several times every time I thought about that song, just to make sure. It is definitely the source of a lot of anxiety for me, and probably the scariest scary movie I've ever seen.

Coming back to it now, over 3 decades later, taking a victory lap on it, while using extremely non Christian friendly language and being high af, will be a real healing moment for me I think.

But I'll keep a spot open later this year to watch the whorehouse movie (😂).

Michelle Pfeiffer is absolutely amazing. The range she has as an actor is unreal and I genuinely believe I am watching someone lose their mind when I watch that movie.

This is a great answer!

I also really liked Straight Talk. We watched all her movies after she passed and even though it had poor reviews I actually liked it a lot

I remember it from the Inspector Gadget movie

Let me know how it holds up

And which movie's characters are in the music video for All Star?

I had it on VHS!

i first heard the song in the movie. i have the dvd. it's the one i use to test players at the office.

Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio (feat. L.V.)

It was originally written for a movie called Dangerous Minds. I'm not an expert on Hip Hop, but I'd say it has definitely made it's place among the best in the genre.

Also, it's heavily by Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise.

The way I look at it, K-Pop Demon Hunters is a musical.

Which means the songs aren't bigger than the movie.

Because the songs ARE the movie :)

can't help falling in love, elvis. from blue hawaii (1961).

heard at weddings around the world for decades. in the present day it is the most-streamed elvis song. soundtrack and single both charted for weeks (the soundtrack for a year-and-a-half, 20 weeks at number one).

Please purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka before you add another other comments to this thread.

Imho, the pacing of that movie was pretty rough. I know my attention span is fucked these days, but when I watch other movies from the late 70’s / early 80’s, 9 to 5 drags hard by comparison.

It did well at the box office, but I get why modern audiences don’t go back to it often.The direction feels really dated.

No way. Lion King is a giant in pop culture, it didn't do "quite well," it absolutely dominated for years and is still widely seen & known.

The movie used the song, but the song was not made for that movie

Wasn’t made for a move. Dolly wrote it for porter wagner when she left the show in 1973. Outright slanderous…

The song that was released 17 years before the movie?

Welcome to Costco!

The OP didn’t ask for an original song. Just a song that was bigger than the movie it was in. I love Dolly, but Whitney’s version did things that The Bodyguard couldn’t begin to touch. So much bigger that I’d bet more people know she sang the song than know she starred in the movie.

Absence of Paradox by Lovett - in fact that whole album - is just simply magnificent on par with Vangelis.

The movie it's from, is also beautiful, but utterly confusing. I'm not sure it's very well known at all.

Dirty Dancing

Armageddon was a pretty big summer flick at the time but Aerosmith and John Denver were still more famous I think

Somewhere Out There from An American Tail (1986).

The whistling from Bridge over river kwai

"Go Speed Racer Go", the only salvageable part from the live action Speed Racer movie.

incredibly loud incorrect buzzer

That movie is perfect and is a genuine art piece. Nothing before or since has been able to capture that same vibe.

Dueling Banjos in Deliverance

I wouldn't say bigger, but Shrek brought Hallelujah to life

weekly “get high and watch a movie and then watch a few episodes of whatever tv show we’re working on” day

It's my favorite day of the week! I also eat like a death-row inmate on his way to the chair the next morning. Talkin' MAD chocolate covered pretzels

Nah homie that's one of my favorite childhood movies

If it was just a movie about Mercutio and Tybalt, it would have been pretty good.

On that note, Flash from Flash Gordon

Haha we always have taco bell and sometimes we make "special" 😜 cookies for dessert. Iykyk
