Paul Soter
Airplane! (1980, 98% Tomatometer), Blazing Saddles (1974, 89%)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969, 90% Tomatometer)
I remember Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid being one of the first movies I saw as a kid. So I'll also always equate it with discovering what a movie was. Being a young boy, and here's my introduction to movies --- it still feels like the most gigantic movie in terms of how big and beautiful it was, and the cool factor. Two amazing guys to watch.
Breaking Away (1979, 94% Tomatometer)
Breaking Away is one of those movies that I can't ever turn off. If it comes on and it's halfway or two-thirds through, I just have to sit in front of it. I want that world to go on forever; you just wish that it didn't ever end. I would love to be in this location with this people and it go on forever. Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989, 92% Tomatometer)

jokerboy1991 writes: on Jan 16 2009 07:56 PM Thats a great list. It seems a lot of the interviewes really like Being There, which is awesome and if anyone here doesn't know yet there re-releasing it and its going to be on Blu-Ray. I like Broken Lizard despite Club Dredd and Dukes of Hazzerd sucking (I thought), I think Super Troopers and Beerfest were funny. I hope Slamming Sammy is funny. This must have been such a fun interview. (Reply to this) |

lestatthevampire writes: on Jan 17 2009 07:56 AM Dude, even in interviews these guys are tight. They are a great comedy team. BTW... Jokerboy is right. Saw Being There last weekend. AMAZING movie. If I had seen it like ten years ago after graduating high school I probably would've went searching the world for meaning. It's a movie that is a state of mind. (Reply to this) |

I looked up to Erik before when he busted through P 90 plyometrics on one leg, but he's taken on a whole other level of cool. I'm so amped I'm gonna spend the next few hours ripping into reviewers that gave Husbands a rotten. (Reply to this) |

Mr. Bo Ziffer writes: on Jan 17 2009 09:01 AM Very cool list. I like a lot of variety, but I can agree with the repeats these guys threw out (Reservoir Dogs, Spinal Tap, etc.). I'm really looking forward to Slammin' Salmon. (Reply to this) |

~*Admiral Snowstorm*~ writes: on Jan 17 2009 12:29 PM Well, surprisingly great picks from Paul Soter. Airplane! and Crimes and Misdemeanors are amongst my favorites of all time too, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy Butch Cassidy. Reasonably good picks from the rest, too. I wasn't expecting anything too high-brow, and they didn't deliver anything too high-brow. I've seen Super Troopers and I quite liked it. Beerfest was pretty good fun as well. However, most seem to agree that those are their best works, and I seem to have unintentionally avoided their less-loved works. So I guess I can't be an accurate judge of them. I'll probably see Slammin' Salmon at one point or another, though. (Reply to this) |

jorel1114 writes: on Jan 18 2009 12:39 AM These guys really suck at life...there's a reason that their movies consistently don't make money...it's because they're not funny. I get that maybe starting out things would be slow, that you'd build a cult following. but they've actually gotten worse with time. What a bunch of asshats (Reply to this) |
