"Interesting" IMDb comment: 

Strategically placed bong hits at 0:01, 0:33, 0:045 and 1:11 into this film will really enhance your enjoyment.

This movie is the 70's disco NBA version of Major League. It's like Major League meets Space Jam meets The Age of Aquarius meets the time you accidentally took the bad yellow blotter that was going around at Woodstock.

Dr. J pulls off a stellar performance and by the time this film is over you're convinced he's the greatest actor in the universe, provided you followed the instructions above.

If your cable is out and this is on regular TV, go for it, you won't regret it.

Yes, I thought he was an eponymous critter. Glad you agree! Next up, H!

Damn you Fran!  ;)  I was coming here to post the Dakota Fanning horror film HOUNDDOG!

Anyway, here's an "I" movie starring the adorable Jay Baruchel.  I loved him in KNOCKED UP.  I've never heard of this one but someone on IMDb says it's way better than PRINCESS DIARIES 2(!)  ;D

"K" is Killer of Sheep (1977)
« Reply #3107 on: March 18, 2008, 09:21:31 pm »
IMDb:  Somewhat reactionary to the black exploitation films that usually define the Black cinema experience in the 70's, Killer of Sheep presents a realistic portrait of a Black urban L.A. community. Burnett's method of telling a story, using the camera in the most unobtrusive manner, enlivens the film and draws the viewer into a world not frequently seen on film. Stan, the depressed insomniac lower middle-class worker struggles to provide for his family, love his wife and maintain responsibility to his community while haunted by the historical futility and impotence of the African American male. In Killer of Sheep, Burnett aptly demonstrates his knowledge of the cinema aesthetic and his proficiency with the camera while telling a most compelling story about the Black experience in America.
