SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE (1989), DRUGSTORE COWBOY (1989)

1989


Andie Macdowell bares her soul to James Spader in
sex, lies and videotape

Coming at the end of the 80's, sex, lies and videotape was the first Gen-X picture, taking shots at the predatory, suspender-wearing, Reagan-era yuppie (Peter Gallagher) in favor of James Spader's version of Steven Soderberg, a recovering liar who is witholding and impotent to boot, yet soft and sensitive, a feminized man racked by the kind of guilt that was obviously a stranger to the freewheeling Oliver North's of the decade about to be past.
-Peter Biskind, Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance and the Rise of Independent Film 

Biskind further sees Sex, Lies and Videotape as a watershed of the independent film movement during that important year of '89. That's a lot of retrospective baggage to put on a film about a guy that likes to tape women talking about sex This was the third time I've seen this movie over the years. I wasn't all that looking forward to watching it again, but I found myself quickly sucked into the story about a guy who likes to videotape women talking about sex and his involvement with the wife of an old school friend before I knew it. Who is to say what works in a film and why? But whatever it is, I think sex, lies and videotape does work. I'm glad it found an audience and I'm glad smaller films get made, but it did leave a trail of failed smaller movies that tried to copy its success in subsequent years.

To further get into the mood of the thing, I also watched the movie on a VHS copy I taped off The Movie Channel during the early 90's...It was also the only copy I had readily available to me, but it still seemed fitting.

As luck would have it, the other movie I wanted to watch from that year was on that same old VHS tape...

Matt Dillon and William S. Burroughs in
Drugstore Cowboy
Another smaller film from 1989 was Gus Van Sandt's Drugstore Cowboy, about two couples in Portland in the early 70's who go around stealing drugs from local pharmacies to get a fix. It's a good character study and you can empathize a bit with these band of misfits...to a degree, anyway...and any film with Naked Lunch author William S. Burroughs as a priest has certainly got that going for it. The film is based on a book by real life drugstore cowboy, James Fogle. Sadly, Fogle was arrested for robbing a drugstore as late as 2011, well into his 70's. He died the following year. So it goes.

----

I went through the Wikipeda list of films released in 1989 movies and listed about twenty-five that I've seen that weren't on the 1001 list. I remember seeing all of them...but the details for some are a little murky.

1. Dead Poets Society
O Captain, my captain! Lots of inspirational moments in this film, though I do think at times the line between good and bad is spelled out in terms that are a little too black and white. I would put it in my 1001 book anyway, if only for the Robin Williams scenes.

O Captain, my captain!...Dead Poets Society

2. The Abyss
Yes, here's one that I saw and it was directed by James Cameron and had a lot of good underwater special effects and...a little murky on the details.

3. Back to the Future II
I like this second movie in this series where Marty goes to that futuristic date of 2015 and we see hoverboards, the Cubs winning the World Series (Maybe they were just a year off) and other fun stuff. My son really loves the line where we see bad guy Biff telling old man Biff to "Get out of my car, old man!" Some things can just ring funny to you, I guess.

4  Driving Miss Daisy
The Oscar winning film from 1989 about the relationship between an elderly southern Jewish woman and her black driver through the years did not quite make the 1001 cut. I have a bias in favor of Daisy for a few reasons. One is that it is set in Atlanta, which \is where I grew up. Another is that I saw some of the scenes from the movie being shot in Decatur, Georgia, my hometown. But mostly because I was in a stage production of the play a couple of years ago where I played Boolie. Why wouldn't it be in my book?\

Dan Aykroyd as Boolie, my favorite character in Driving Miss Daisy.
5. Heathers
"I love my dead, gay son!" and other quotes from this pretty dark but likable teen comedy.

6. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
The kids get shrunk and then the parents try not to eat them and dogs try not to play with them as toys. Some fun special effects from what I remember.

7. In Country
You got to give Bruce Willis credit for jumping from the success of Die Hard to a serious film about a Vietnam vet with post-traumatic stress disorder. The film got good reviews, but really didn't do that well, which is too bad.

8. Ghostubsters II
More Ghostbusting fun five years later. When I think of this movie, I think of the song "Talk it Over," by Grayson Hugh which they showed the video for during the previews when I saw this at the theater in the Summer of 1989. I guess that's a little off point.

I really think they could have made a Ghostbusters III.

9. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Probably the best of the Indiana Jones sequels and the film is stolen by Sean Connery as Indy's Dad.

10. K-9, Turner and Hooch
USA network loved to show these two movies over and over again for years. K-9 Cop was the one with Jim Belushi as the cop and the dog was a German Shepherd. Turner and Hooch was the one with Tom Hanks as the cop and the dog was a mastiff.

11. Licence to Kill
Not everyone loved Timothy Dalton's turn as James Bond, but he was definitely more from the Sean Connery school than the Roger Moore school.

12. The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid at the time seemed to me like an unlikely candidate to lead the Disney company back into the Disney renaissance because it didn't seem to have much appeal for boys...and this is why no one's ever asked me to be president of the Walt Disney company.


Ursula in The Little Mermaid

13. Look Who's Talking
Stupid but sometimes funny movie about a couple and a baby that you can hear his thoughts and stuff. But just how many of these damn movies did they have to make?

14. Major League
Pretty funny baseball movie, but non-appearance of Kevin Costner in movie about baseball from this period just seems wrong somehow.

15. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
When Chevy Chase was roasted once, a comedian told him that he had made four good movies and forty lousy ones. I think this is one of the good ones.

16. New York Stories
Three separate stories presented here from directors Martin Scorcese, Woody Allen and Francis Ford Coppola. The one that scores the most is Woody Allen's Oedipus Wrecks featuring a pretty hilarious turn by Mae Questel as Woody's domineering mother.


Woody Allen's mother appears to be haunting him in Oedipus Wrecks.

17. Parenthood
Very likable Ron Howard comedy with a good cast led by Steve Martin about the ups and downs (like a roller coaster, you know) of family life.

18. Pet Cemetery
One of the better Stephen King book to film adaptations. Any movie with Fred Gwynne in it has that going for it, too.

19. Steel Magnolias
Honestly, I've watched a very good local production of this on stage. Only then did I watch the film and I honestly preferred the stage production, all-star cast in the movie or not.

20. Star Trek IV
The often maligned William Shatner directed Star Trek movie isn't awful, but is still probably the weakest entry in the movie series featuring the original cast.


God makes a cameo in Star Trek V

21. Sea of Love
I remember seeing this in the theater the week it opened. Nice story, nice use of title song and nice cast featuring Al Pacino, Ellen Barkin and John Goodman.

22. The War of the Roses
Another one that's a little murky in my memory. The Michael Douglas/Kathleen Turner marriage was bad I think...but it was kind of funny? Danny De Vito was pretty good, too...but it's less murky in my mind than the next entry...

23. Warlock
I know I watched a movie called Warlock when it first came on cable. I remember who I watched it with. I remember pointing out to her that I don't usually watch this kind of movie. That's about all I got on this one.

24. Road House
Another film that is likely to make an appearance on a cable station near you. At least it did in the 90's. Patrick Swayze is a bouncer who takes his shirt off an awful lot.

25. UHF
I'm a big Weird Al fan. I love most of his videos and saw him in concert a couple of years ago. And UHF certainly has funny moments. But a long feature film career was not in the cards for Al.


The Oscar proves out of reach for Weird Al Yankovick in UHF



That's it for 1989, but read my lips...I'll be back!

MARY POPPINS (1964), ZORBA THE GREEK (1964)

1964
An Interesting thing looking back at movies from the early to mid-60's is that a lot of the Award winning dramas from that era were still in black and white, whereas lighter musicals and comedies were in vibrant technicolor.

Mary Poppins
And you can't get more colorful than Mary Poppins, the Disney musical fantasy which I hadn't seen in many years, though I did see it on stage just last year. Seeing the movie again, I recognize how engaging Julie Andrews is as Mary. Dick Van Dyke is good too, despite his often criticized English accent. The songs, such as Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, have stayed with us all these years later. If you have kids, get the DVD, they'll watch it again and again I guarantee you!

The 2013 hit film Saving Mr. Banks was about the making of Mary Poppins, but I'd also recommend watching Harlan Ellison's commentary about this film on YouTube before you watch!

Zorba the Greek

Zorba the Greek is a black and white drama based on the Nikos Kazantzakis novel about an Englishman who begins a business in Greece aided by his bigger than life associate, Zorba (Anthony Quinn). There's a lot here about local Greek culture (much of which is very unpleasant) and the trials of starting a shaky business venture in a remote area...and then there's the dancing (pictured above)! Zorba is actually not in the 1001 book, but I like it enough to put it in mine. Here's to good ole' black and white cinematography!

----------

Like Zorba the Greek, there are many films from the year 1964 that didn't make the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list. Here are some that I've seen...

Seven Faces of Dr. Lao, The Incredible Mr. Limpet...Two of my childhood favorites.
Dr. Lao is the George Pal mystical adventure starring Tony Randall as the mysterious doctor and features Barbara Eden as the sexy librarian. And let us not forget these wise words: 
The whole world is a circus if you look at it the right way. Every time you pick up a handful of dust and see not the dust, but a mystery, a marvel, there in your hand, every time you stop and think, "I'm alive and being alive is fantastic!" Every time such a thin happens, Mike you are a part of the circus of Dr. Lao."
One of the 7 Faces of Dr. Lao
The Incredible Mr. Limpet is the one where the milquetoast  Don Knotts falls into the sea and turns into a cartoon fish! Well, I thought it was cool back in the day.
The cartoon face of
The Incredible Mr. Limpet
Becket, Hamlet
A couple of heavy dramas with the master of heavy thespians, Richard Burton. This version of Hamlet is basically a stage version of the play, but worthwhile for Hamlet completists. (But can one ever actually complete all film versions of Hamlet?)

Alas, Poor Yorick...Burton as Hamlet

The Best Man, Fail Safe, Black Like Me
More of those black and white dramas from the era. All three are worthy of a rewatch...

Fail-Safe, the nuclear Armageddon movie from 1964
that wasn't Dr. Strangelove

Disorderly Orderly, The Patsy
...whereas Jerry Lewis vehicles of the era were in living color.

Hey, Jerry! in The Disorderly Orderly

Viva Las Vegas, Kitten With A Whip, The Pleasure Seekers
Definitely a notable year for that saucy vixen, Ann-Margaret.

Anna and The King in Viva Las Vegas

World of Henry Orient, The Pink Panther, A Shot in the Dark
Good year for Peter Sellers as well

Inspector Closeau in the lead role in A Shot in the Dark

Flipper’s New Adventures, The Time Travelers
Movies that led to series...Ah, Flipper.I grew up watching the adventures of Bud, Sandy, Porter Ricks and the world's smartest dolphin!
I think Flipper's trying to tell us something!

The Time Travelers-It's a stretch to link this movie to the mid-60's series The Time Tunnel from Irwin Allen, but I so loved the Time Tunnel!...But enough TV remembrances for now...

Okay, this picture is actually from the series The Time Tunnel, 
but it really use to freak me out when they
went down that swirly thing!

For Those Who Think Young, Bikini Beach, Looking for Love
Some lighter beach entertainment with Frankie, Annette, Connie Francis and Bob Denver etc. I have to admit that sometimes I wasn't overly picky about movies I watched on television growing up. Oh, well. They were harmless enough and kinda fun.

For Those Who Think Young
I think during this period, Bob Denver was
sort of a weird transitional hybrid between
Maynard G. Krebs and Gilligan.

Hey There It’s Yogi Bear, Misadventures  of Merlin Jones, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Some more kid stuff. I really liked Yogi's feature film debut, though I have little motivation to revisit it at this point. As far as Merlin Jones, I'm pretty sure I watched this on the Sunday night Wonderful World of Disney and more than likely in two parts over two weekends. I had to include Rudolph on this list because it's only the greatest yearly Christmas special ever!

The inhabitants of the Island of Misfit Toys try to
keep the faith in Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer.

Hush , Hush, Sweet Charlotte, Lady in a Cage, Strait-Jacket
This was also a period of what was known as Grande Dame Guignol (and began with Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?) featuring a veteran actress (Joan Crawford, Bette Davis or Olivia de Havilland) either being tortured of being a torturer. I remember particularly being disturbed by Lady in a Cage on late night TV during the 70's

Goodbye, 1964. Time to get my nose out of a
book and go parading!

THE SMILING MADAME BEUDET (1923, FRANCE), LAND WITHOUT BREAD (1933, SPAIN), THE MAD MASTERS (1955, FRANCE), NIGHT AND FOG (1955, FRANCE), DOG STAR MAN (1962), THE HOUSE IS BLACK (1963, IRAN)

I looked at the 1001 list and saw that I still had a few short films that I haven't looked at yet which were readily available on YouTube and decided to try to run through all of them this week. After viewing, I must conclude that it's a interesting lot of films, but for the most part not exactly uplifting.

Clocking in at 38 minutes is The Smiling Madame Beudet, which dates back to 1922. This French silent is given credit by some as being the first feminist film. The plot has a wife abused verbally by a boorish husband who likes to play a gag where he has a gun with no bullets that he mockingly puts to his head and pulls the trigger. At some point, you know Madame Beudet is going to put bullets in the gun. When she finally does, he turns the gun on her and pulls the trigger. Luckily, the bullet he fires misses her and he feels regret for the way he has treated her and declares his love for her and embraces her. The fact that Madame only reacts with indifference to his embrace is a most appropriate ending for a film with a feminist approach.

The Smiling Madame Beudet

Clocking in at 27 minutes, Luis Bunuel's docudrama, Land Without Bread, is about a remote village in Spain called La Alberca. The inhabitants are poor. Really poor. Food is at a minimum and bread is unknown.The film includes children we know aren't long for this world, real life village idiots, goats falling off cliffs and some other scenes that were rumored to be largely staged. This film is most bleak and depressing and quite the contrast to Bunuel's An Andalusian Dog.

Land Without Bread
Clocking in at 28 minutes is The Mad Masters, Jean Rouch's film about French colonial Africans going through some truly dramatic religious rituals. This film has been criticized for being culturally racist of Africans on the one hand, and mocking of British colonialists on the other hand. Either way, the rituals are just so damn odd, that I had trouble looking away even though I often wanted to.

The Mad Masters

Clocking in at 32 minutes is Night and Fog, Alain Resnais's 1955 film that compares contemporary abandoned concentration camps to clips of the time they were used for nefarious purposes during the 30's and 40's. These horrifying images were seen in this film by many for the first time. Maybe an attempt to escape this kind of content is what led Resnais to make very artistic films such as Last Year at Marienbad in subsequent years.

Night and Fog
Clocking in at about 30 minutes is Stan Brakhage's Dog Star Man, a 1962 experimental film which featured a bearded man climbing a mountain with his his trusty pooch interspersed with clips of the ferocity of nature...the universe...and...man, sometimes I wish I still did drugs! The book just lists the first Dog Star Man movie, but the "story" is continued in other films in this series. I do think there's a method to this madness, but I'm not sure if I should watch part one again, watch the whole series of films or just forget the whole thing and move on! Of maybe I could just watch Mallick's Tree of Life again instead?

Dog Star Man
Clocking in at 22 minutes is The House is Black, an Iranian documentary from 1963 about a leper colony. It intersperses poetry, biblical and Koranic references and I found it to be an overall effective work, though extremely disturbing.
The House is Black
I must tell you that after all these bleak short films, I do need a break in tone. I think I'll take a look at the MST3K short film A Case of Spring Fever featuring the adorable animated Coily!... I feel better already.

Coily "No Springs!," from MST3K's A Case of Spring Fever.

1001: A FILM ODYSSEY (2016 UPDATE)




It's that time of year for this blog to look at the new edition of the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die Book and see what new movies have been added to the old list. In preparation, I watched all of the Oscar nominees for Best Picture as well as the Foreign film and Documentary winners, figuring some of these titles would be added...And the results are in and there are ten new entries this year and it turns out that six of these are from the Oscar list. And they are...

1. Spotlight (Best Picture Winner)
2. The Revenant
3. The Big Short
4. Son of Saul (Foreign Film Winner)
5. Mad Max: Fury Road
6. Bridge of Spies

Mad Max surprised me a little, but I realize this was a personal bias from me not liking this film as much as most everyone else seemed to (Note to self: Eliminate personal bias). The inclusion of of Bridge of Spies surprised me a lot, even though I did like Steven Spielberg's cold war drama. I admit that my wife called this one for inclusion and I didn't (Note to self: Listen to your wife). The other four films from these six I did think would make the cut. 

And the four others from the new list?

1.Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Critically acclaimed revival of the Star Wars series that became the biggest box office hit of all-time shouldn't be a surprise to anyone for inclusion. Besides, it probably helped to have a scene from it on the new cover. Because...



2. Tangerine
...They certainly weren't going to put this low budget movie about Transgender street hustlers that was shot with an iPhone on the 1001 cover were they? But kudos for the book for including something totally different and something I had never even heard of until I saw it on the list!

Tangerine

3. Straight Outta Compton
I'm not going to lie here. The music revolution led by the hip hop group N.W.A. was one I missed out on completely! So, watching the story of the group was actually a learning experience for me. The rise and fall and drugs and sex and screwed over by management scenario has certainly been done before, but it is well executed here...This just in...As I'm writing this, I just saw a blurb that Jerry Heller (the manager unflatteringly depicted in the film and played by Paul Giamatti) just died. Weird coincidences (That may not really be coincidences, but that's a discussion for another blog) like that seem to pop up a lot as I go through these films.

Straight Outta Compton


4. The Look of Silence
The token documentary film addition from this year's 1001 list (I didn't think the Oscar winning Amy Winehouse documentary would make it) is The Look of Silence, a follow up to Joshua Oppenheimer's controversial The Act of Killing. The Act of Killing was a film about the Indonesian strongmen that perpetrated a mass genocide on their opponents in 1965 recreating their crimes for the camera in different movie genres! Yep, that one was hard to swallow. The Look of Silence is also hard to watch as we have an optometrist named Adi Rukun coming face to face with those still in power that murdered his brother and countless others. It's frightening to behold at times and our optometrist interviewer has a stoicism that is admirable and almost saintlike.

The Look of Silence 
Note: I haven't seen the actual new 1001 book and got the updated list from a 1001 movies Facebook app. If for some reason this list turns out to be inaccurate, just let me say "never mind," in advance.

There are now 1,185 movies on the list including all updated editions. Numbers may vary slightly from other lists that may list certain movies (Ivan the Terrible I and II, for example) separately. The movie book has also screwed up the release year on many titles and I've tried to change it around when I've caught it. That being said...I've seen 880 movies since this blog began and am now 75% done. Will I ever finish?  Good question!
