Joel's Choosing

10. Blade Runner over 23. Hellraiser

I came late to Blade Runner, so I have no great affection for it, but reading the AMG description of Hellraiser led me into a torrid, fitless 12 hours of internet research last night into the at-once lusty and revolting world of cannabalistic S&M. Now, spent, exhausted, and nervously waiting for the government to come and seize my computer, I sit here convicted enough to place my vote for the tamer choice.

28. Dead Alive over 5. Ocean's 11

I'd never heard of Dead Alive, but after reading about it, it sounds like a pretty good movie, and maybe not one my ex-girlfriend would have forced me to watch nine times.

13. The Last Waltz over 20. Breakin'

Most people don't know that Bob Dylan's featured appearance in Scorsese's 1978 documentary was a major influence in DJ Kool Herc's original idea to move his body from the toprock to the downrock position, into a set of power moves, and then finish in a "freeze" or "suicide" pose.

Comments:
Yeah, but I don't think Bob Dylan taught Turbo how to dance with a levitating broomstick.
