Did you like it as much as I did?

1. This is one of the best movies...EVER.

MrG and I still giggle like mad until we cry practically. So, yes, I like this movie.


:hug: Allen :hi:

[Richardo]

4. Agree - one of my top 5 all-time.

:hi: Allen and MrsG!

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Hi Richardo!!

:hi:

[arwalden]

21. I Think The Muted & Faded Colors Are Very Effective...

... the whole movie looks like a faded tinted-sepia photograph.

One of my favorite scenes and ongoing gag, is when Delmar thinks that Pete has been turned into a frog.

:hi:

2. I liked it more

It was the thing that really clued me in that after nearly a decade together, my ex didn't really know me at all. We rented it and watched it and he was absolutely astounded that I knew all the words to all the songs on the soundtrack. I'm a Southern girl for chrissake. *snort*

I think that was the beginning of the end.

3. LOVED it. Bought the soundtrack.

Great stuff!

[arwalden]

8. I Recieved The DVD As A Gift... I Just Ordered The Soundtrack...

from Amazon.Com.

9. You won't regret it.

In fact, I credit that CD for turning me onto Allison Krauss...whose stuff I later got.

You do know that that movie is based on the Odyssey, by Ullysus, right? It's actually a very deep movie, on many different levels...

I just loved it and you're giving me inspiration to go rent it again! Thanks!

:)

11. Go To Sleep Little Baby...

Your momma's gone away
And your daddy's gonna stay
Didn't leave nobody but the baby


(That's one of my favorite songs from the movie.)

[Shine]

15. Yeah, sweet sweet harmonies.... n/t

[evlbstrd]

5. It's fantastic.

I think it's hilarious that the Cohen brothers say it's based on the Oddysey, but they've never read it.

[gollygee]

6. Love love love that movie

It is great and fun to watch again and again.

[redqueen]

7. Loved it... bought the soundtrack

:D

[skygazer]

10. Fantastic movie!

Brilliant! Terrific! Can't say enough good things about it. There are so many great lines in that movie and the music is heavenly. I grew up on that stuff and as soon as "Big Rock Candy Mountain" started playing the first time I saw it, i got a big grin on my face that never left.

[arwalden]

12. ... and the hens lay soft boiled eggs!

That was a delightful tune!

28. Rest in sweet peace

dearest John Hartford. Truly a lovely man.

[MadHound]

13. Absolutely wonderful movie

I have it on DVD, and bought the soundtrack, something I haven't done in a long long while.

[Richardo]

16. "Wait a minute, who elected you leader of this outfit?"

"Well, Pete I thought it ought to fall to the one capable of abstract thought." :rofl:

[VelmaD]

22. "I had to be at that crossroads

las’ midnight to sell mah soul to the devil."

"Well ain’t it a small world, spiritually speakin’! Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved! I guess I’m the only one here who remains unaffiliated..."

[GrpCaptMandrake]

17. John Goodman's Role

in any other film would've stolen the whole thing. Brilliant!

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. Phenomenal movie.

Even better soundtrack.

[KitchenWitch]

19. Love it!

[Left Is Write]

20. I have not seen it, but my daughter owns it...

so I guess I should check it out! She loves it.

My husband has also seen it and liked it.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

23. If you like the soundtrack, look out for the concert DVD

Down From the Mountain

Aside from a few minutes marred by some very annoying child singers, this is really worth seeing.

Performers: John Hartford, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Chris Thomas King, The Cox Family, Fairfield Four, Union Station, Colin Linden, The Nashville Bluegrass Band, The Peasall Sisters, Ralph Stanley, David Rawlings, The Whites.

[hippywife]

27. You didn't like the Peasall Sisters?

[hippywife]

24. Incredibly funny!

I loved the music and the "Down From The Mountain" concert I saw on PBS but I kept putting off seeing it because I don't like George Clooney. Once I did see it, I loved it!! Highly recommend it.

Five thumbs up!!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

25. Contrived and overhyped

Of course, George Clooney's always a deal breaker for me. I just don't get his appeal. :shrug:

[hippywife]

30. It's supposed to be contrived.

That was kinda the underlying current of the film. Clooney is usually a deal breaker for me, too, but in a moment of boredom I gave in and I wasn't sorry.

[Tallison]

31. Then it didn't work

for me anyway. It's one of those movies I just don't see the wit in. Now Christopher Guest, on the other hand... :rofl:

[johnnie]

26. Liked it a lot

That kind of music has always been some of my favorite and my father called me one day and told me I had to see this flick because of the story and the music. I got it and liked it a lot.

[Redneck Socialist]

29. Holy Shit!

I've been listening to bluegrass and old timey music all night, of course I love that movie. :headbang: (We don't have a 'pickin' and grinnin' smilie so that will have to do.)

[Az]

32. Fantastic movie

Its disc holds a prominent position in my library and its music covers my hard drive.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. They done turned him into a toady frog ! nt

[arwalden]

34. Poor Pete!

[Mutley]

35. I love that movie!

GREAT soundtrack!
