Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

I've only seen this once before, maybe just after it came out. Enjoyed it more this time. I was clearly far too serious in my early 20s. Silly fun

Dogma

Mostly fun but so uneven. And the plot is so heavy on exposition that a lot of dialogue seems forced.

Chasing Amy

First time I've watched this film in 20 years or so and I can't believe the hate for it. It's easily the best of Kevin Smith's films but more than that, it's a great film. This is far from a male fantasy about lesbianism. To be that, it would surely show the male protagonist in a good light. However, Affleck's Holden is the same now as he was when I watched this in the 90s...a complete idiot and a big baby. He whinges and whines all through the film like the entitled brat he clearly is. Messes up a good relationship. Then after he gets a heartfelt story from Silent Bob....he completely misses the point! If anything, this is a parable about not being a massive, entitled, self-centred dick. Also, I miss the 90s. You can almost smell it in this movie. I loved it back then, before they took all the healthy stuff out of cigarettes and replaced them with cancer. Bastards ps. Hooper should've had waaaay more screen time. His opening scene is wonderful

I've seen this film far too many times over the last 25 years to be objective.

Clue

Another film that I probably can't be objective about. I've seen it more than any other film in the last 27 years. There is nothing I don't love about it
