Considering I think Heavy Metal’s a steaming pile of overrated doggy-doo, works for me.
I’m guessing “The Southpark Movie, Bigger, Longer and Uncut” didn’t make it either.
No Outlaw… and the list is sorrier that. What’s up?
Eric…. I didn’t think you’d like the cartoon per se, but that the soundtrack would somehow compensate for the crappiness of the animation, story, script, etc.
Excellent point. Sammy, Cheap Trick and any soundtrack that includes Homer Simpson faves Grand Funk Railroad equals greatness!!!
“Mark Farner’s wild shirtless lyrics, the bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher, the competent drum work of Don Brewer…”
Yippee! It’s Outlaw! We missed you! And it figures that your first comment includes the words “bigger, longer and uncut.”
I’m surfing the net from the MWR INTERNET Cafe’. Still don’t have my own place, but we are safely residing at your vacation destination of choice for Iraq.
Fabulous Camp Taji!
Sitting on the banks of the historic Tigris River just 20 miles North of Baghdad, Camp Taji fullfils your every need for a fabulous get-away from your workaday life.
It’s outstanding to hear from you, Outlaw! Try to find time for a little fun and thanks for all you do!
(…and if you hear any grumblings about me slamming “Field of Dreams” don’t pay any attention. It’s all hearsay and speculation. If a few comments do turn up they almost certainly were written by Mike Kriskey when he was impersonating me. He’s a Red Sox fan, for goodness sake! What does he know about America’s pasttime?!)
Sigh.
Welcome Outlaw and watch for any suspicious Iraqi vehicles that may be Fiats. Can’t trust ‘em.
Oh good gravy, now you can’t even OWN the ridiculous babblings you posted about Field of Dreams? First you make us all listen to that drivel and now we have to listen to you disown it.
Hey Outlaw!! Rufus needs you to kick his butt around a bit.
Nice backpedal, Rufus!
I know Heavy Metal isn´t a good film in the traditional sense but the poster was on my wall for a couple of years. You had to be in the right age.
Donde esta La Flaca?
that list gets me to thinking about Secret of NIMH and Watership Down. I don’t know if they’re classics, and I haven’t seen them in ages but I certainly remember them.
(and the Disney Robin Hood with the whistling rooster.)
Secret of NIMH’s a great call, JJ, and thanks for the reminder! I used to take out the LPs from the library all the time to hear it. Great voice work.
Watership Down is one of my favorites. It looks like no other cartoon I’ve ever seen, and it does a really good job of capturing the novel’s tone.
What about “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”? I also remember when Aladdin was released, it was Disney’s big push back in to animation.
I remember watching Heavy Metal when it first hit cable (1981?) and liking it. I watched it twenty years after that and couldn’t sit through it. A few good tunes on the soundtrack though. Some animated favorites are ‘Pinocchio’, ‘Iron Giant’ and ‘The Mouse and His Child’.
France says hello,Outlaw…good to hear from you
Rufus is lying,by the way…he called Field of Dreams a chick flick
Not that I care…if it ain’t golf,it ain’t nuthin…
Caddyshack II. Now shaddap.
Don’t know … anyone with such a short scope of animation history shouldn’t be making top lists of animated features. A couple of classics thrown in with mostly recent CGI is depressing.
ah, so Scott M is a Happy Gilmore fan, then. nice. the price is right, b—-!
I forgot to say that I would happily add the fairly recent, Japanese film Spirited Away to any animated movie list.
I would add 28 Days as a re-animated classic.
I commented over at Christian’s, but there is a more adult themed “Fantasia” type movie, “Allegro non Tropo.” I only saw it once, in College, but I remember it being quite clever. I think the animation was a little low budget, but the ideas, concepts and music were very good.
Tony, I think Iron Giant is a more recent movie that I would put on that list before the CGI stuff. The Mouse and his Child is a little known classic. I remember watching it over and over again on cable when I was a kid. I think a top 5 list of all time would include Pinocchio (1940), Gulliver’s Travels (1939), Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol (1962), Mad Monster Party (1969) and Nightmare Before Christmas (1993).
