Best Austin Movie?

There have been a chitload of movies produced in Austin since the 1970s?

What are your favorites?

Though I've got to say that Robert Rodriguez's movies are utter shit, I really enjoy watching them.

So I'm going to start it off with MACHETE!

This fat motherfucker could easily be one of us!



What's your fave?

I don't know too much Austin movies made here but one that instantly pops into my mind is Dazed and Confused.

Office Space / Idiocracy

WHIP IT!

Varsity Blues !! Ms. Davis dancing @ the Landing Strip, Hell yea!!

Dazed and Confused, was basically my youth. Also the Hot Spot with Don Johnson, Phoebe Cates, and ex KLBJFM morning DJ Debra Cole in a nude scene was a pretty good movie. Not Austin, but Taylor and Bartlett is pretty durn close.

I just thought of another one, Sin City. Jessica Alba is my dream girl, was that really her in Machete? You know the one scene wear she is naked.

Well, PornPet... I have the same dream girl as you. Miss Alba is indeed the stuff wet dreams are made of. MMMMMMM

The only filmmaker to come from Austin who has any merit and is recognized by his peers as talented is Robert Benton.

In 1987 I was here when he filmed "Nadine" with Kim Bassinger and Jeff Bridges. What surprised me about Bridges is how tall he is. In film you never see how short some actors are, and apparently you can never tell when someone is really tall...and Bridges was tall.

It was a wacky story set in Austin in the 1950s based on real characters he knew then, and many old timers here know who those people are.

There can be no doubt that it's the best film ever made here for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it's about the town itself, rather than just using the city as a location for anywhere.

As far as Rodriquez or Linklater are concerned I just laugh. They are examples that the film business has grown so big that there's ample room in it now for individuals who have no talent at all...for anything.

After they shot Sin City, there was a spate of young hotties hanging around town, left over from the extras casting for the red light district scenes.

I had the pleasure to cast some commercials/corporate videos at that time and got to "audition" a number of them. Every time I watch the hooker scenes in "Sin City," I take pride in having seen this ass and that up close and personal!

It's amazing how many people think Texas chainsaw massacre is real. Then again, people believe Shit like roots and schindlers list too.

Ha, yeah exactly. "it said on the opening credits it was true!"
