Just watched it.. Jeezo!
About as out there as it gets I reckon..

I love you mickey
I love you mallory

Oh and what were you doing 17 yrs ago??

Great cult film, loved it.

I saw it at the cinema when it came out. Was working shifts, so went one afternoon, & was literally the only person in the place. Was it really 17 years ago…christ.

Awesome film.

Great soundtrack too.

17 years? I didn’t get it when I first watched it, must have been about 14. Saw it a few years ago and enjoyed it.

Loved it. I went to see it 3 times at the cinema and the prison scene at the end is just class.

I’m trying to remember the scene with my favourite song from the film…Cowboy Junkies doing “Sweet Jane”

Only time I’ve ever fallen asleep at the cinema was “watching” that.

IN fact that’s wrong, I didn’t *fall* asleep. I thought the film was so crap I decided to have a kip. Couldn’t leave as someone else had driven and had to stay to get a lift home – no buses when you go to a midnight showing!

I love the Dwight McClusky character – Tommy Lee Jones pulls that off a treat.

Juliette at her finest too IMO.

that short period in the early/mid nineties produced some pretty decent stuff as far as mainstream hollywood movies go, mainly due to stone and q.t

Er, it kinda passed me by 17 years ago.. Was just a young lad away from home for the first timeconcentrating on chasing student nurses mainly… Most of my socialising revolved around the Jimmy Shand or the Venue in Dundee.
Cracking soundtrack, not sure about the different colours but like the animated curassow.. Also seems to have influenced a lot of stuff we get nowadays.. 300, kill bill etc. Albeit those would prob be in the same genre..

best love story ever

I came in a bit drunk half way into it. It looked utterly gash.

IIRC it was well hyped due to the Tarantino screenplay? Everything he touches is NOT gold!

Yeah, saw it when it came out and loved it. Had loads of bad publicity at the time, so expected it to be rubbish – something with great music and such originality can’t be considered rubbish in my book.
Strangley haven’t watched it since though.

something with great music

It’s my considered opinion that NBK has one of the best uses of music in a movie ever. When Woody Harrelson grabs the shotgun off the table and Rage Against the Machine strikes up, half the cinema went “yes!”

I didn’t get it when I first watched it

Me neither. I spent the first 20 mins looking around to see if people were walking out in disgust…. The RATM (I think it was) came on and I began to enjoy it, and then it clicked as to what was happening. Not sure it would be as good to watch again now though…… 😕

overrated i thought, if you want madness watch ‘devils rejects’
