Chris Guest movies

Randi Rhodes just brought up "A Mighty Wind" WHAT A GREAT FREAKING MOVIE.

Anyone else love Christopher Guest et al as much as me?

"I been working at the DQ for 8 months.....7....I don't know, somethin like that. It's fun."

Especially if you are involved in community theatre. That shit really happens.

7. Absolutely!

Watched Guffman with a bunch of com theater friends and we all roared throughout the movie, and brought up our own anecdotes. Great movie!

6. Best in Show and Mighty Wind aren't bad.

I hated Waiting for Guffman though.

Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything.

12. OMG, I almost posted the same thing at the same time!

See next post.

Didn't type in the quote, couldn't remember it verbatim. But one of the best lines in the movie, for sure. A little homoerotic moment between two arch villians.... priceless!

14. The Big Picture

This was obscure but good. I didn't know he directed it.

15. I LOVED "A Mighty Wind" waaaay too much probably

It just struck me so funny. All I have to do is picture Parkey Posey's pigtails flopping back and forth while she is singin her folk tune and I lose it!!

Most people I know liked Best in Show the most but I like all three about the same. Waiting for Guffman is a total hoot too.

I need to watch A Might Wind again real soon! :thumbsup:
