I want to see a movie.
Ok, what kind of movie?
Something funny and emotional.
Would you like to see a rom-com or a drama?
A drama, maybe? Something with a good soundtrack, nothing too cheesy though.
What about an action movie or a critically acclaimed indie film?
Something that has won awards would be good, but it still needs to be funny.
What about a dark comedy or a sci-fi film?
Sci-fi is too serious. I'm torn between indie, a superhero movie, and dark comedy.
Ok, no Sci-fi. You want something funny, critically acclaimed, & with a good soundtrack, right?
Yes, and it should have a little drama.
Ok, here are a few suggestions: Kill Bill: Vol 2., Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, O Brother, Where Art Thou? All of these are recommended by Pitchfork Magazines on "The Top 50 Best Movie Soundtrack of All Time List".
Trainspotting is about drugs, right? No thanks. I don't want to see Kill Bill, either-it's too bloody. The other three are still in the running.
What quality is most important to the movie you want to see right now?
It should be funny & have good music. Also, the acting.
All three movies were created by critically acclaimed directors. Life Aquatic is visually stunning & absurd. It's said to "channel the drama... of David Bowie". Pulp Fiction delivers a rock n' roll soundtrack interspersed with gritty scenes & dark humor. O'Brother was said by reviewers to have started a "new folk renaissance revival".
I could go for some folk music, it has comedy right? I thought it was a Coen Brothers film.
It was directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. It's been called a "tall tale... delivered with a mix of screwball goofiness and intellectual whimsy."
That sounds good.
Ok. "O' Brother Where Art Thou?" it is.
