	Well since I live in New Jersey and have been in half the stores in his movies...the one i've been in most is probubly the music store in chasing amy. I've been to asbury park alot too. Clerks and Dogma are the best written ones...mallrats has a certain good feel to it Brodie man snootchie bootchies! Chasing Amy has also a good feel to it, the song she sang was pretty good considering she wrote it. I like Jay and Silent Bob strike back the least but its still funny. It's only really funny the first time I saw it, after that I got bored. I'm going with AmGod. I mean Dogma. Clerks comes next cause I always compare my mornings to Dantes'. PLUS its the best written realistic peice of art in awhile.

	it's a real toss up between chasing amy, dogma and clerks for me...clerks is the classic, but dogma and chasing amy are so intelligently written and have a deeper message to deliver....imo -----signature----- The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone when you're uncool... -- Lester Bangs A wild, wicked slip she was...She was much too fond of Heathcliff.

	I dunno who he is! I do know there was a Kevin Smith who played for the Dallas Cowboys, but surely it's not the same dude.

	Kevin Smith is a young film-maker from New Jersey. He is not the guy who played for the Cowboys. He became famous after his super-low-budget black and white independent film Clerks was a hit at a bunch of film festivals. Telling the story of a day in the life of a convenience store clerk and his video-store buddy, the movie was had great dialogue, was funny as hell, and was incredibly vulgar. Its success prompted Smith to write Dogma, a comedic critique of the Catholic Church. But it wouldn't be made into a film for years. Smith's second film was Mallrats, a 20-something vulgar slapstick comedy. It had a significantly higher budget than Clerks, but also faced problems because of studio interference. It's an incredibly funny movie, with more great dialogue, but it is decidedly childish. Still, it's one of my favourites. It bombed in theatres. I mean really bombed. After Mallrats, Smith took a more serious turn in his film-making with Chasing Amy, a comedy-drama about a man who falls in love with a lesbian. Dealing with serious issues such as social divisions, love, and best friends, it was immediately seen as his most mature film to date. Nevertheless, it was still roaringly funny, and vulgar as hell. Finally after gaining back some credit that he'd lost with Mallrats, Smith could go on to make Dogma. It was the story of two banished angels who find a way to re-enter heaven, and the story of a jaded Catholic woman who must stop them from doing so, and regain her faith in the process. The film was insanely controversial, with hundreds of devout Catholics condemning it without even seeing it. It was a funny movie, to be sure, but unbalanced. Smith's most recent effort was the summer comedy Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. It was the first movie devoted entirely to the characters of Jay and Silent Bob (played by Smith), idiot drug dealers who have had cameos in each film. The movie was totally vulgar, totally slapstick, and made fun of Hollywood in a serious way. Totally hilarious, it had the dubious honour of being the worlds 'most-vulgar' movie, beating out the former champion, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. Each of Kevin Smith's films to date have been set in the same common world, the 'View Askew-niverse', named after his company. They feature cross-movie cameos, references, and in jokes galore (especially in the Jersey movies). But now, Smith has resolved not to make any more movies in the View Askewniverse, and instead direct his talents towards more serious films. That sum it up good enough? Go see his movies! -----signature----- This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper -- T.S. Eliot, The Hollow Men, 1925

	Whimper you forgot to mention the View Askew comics that are written by smith and set between the movies. for example Chasing Dogma is set between Chasing AMy and Dogma and explains how the blunt knights arrive in illanois (sp.) Also not mentioned was the comics he has written for DC and Marvel. What can i say the guy is a genious. Oh and one last thing, how many people knew (before i posted this) that Mallrats is set the day before Clerks? -----signature----- In Double Vision. Where Drunk!

	I just knew i'd find you here Dogma for me, While i reckon clerks is a bloody brilliant film, i still love dogma for it's content. mallrats & j&sbsb were just funny all round, but i still love Dogma for it's content -----signature----- I want to be young and wild, then I want to be middle aged and rich, and then I want to be old and annoy people by pretending that I’m deaf

	Well since I found the official poll now... Chasing Amy was mine. I identify with the struggles that Holden McNeil has in his romantic life, and it often reminds me of my life at times. It's very well written and very funny. In addition, this is probably Jason Lee's second best performance behind Mallrats. -----signature----- Blue Yoda Society: SVC aka #2 aka Mr. Smithers Fandom Alliance of Philadelphia Join the Wiivolution "So I live by these two words, **** you, pay me" ` - Kanye West

	CHASING AMY!!! Hands down, one of favorites of all time, much less Kevin Smith movies. I was introduced to it by my friend when I was in Korea and have been hooked ever since. B&(&, what you don't know about me you could pretty much squeeze in the Grand f#$%^^% Canyon.* I love that movie! -----signature----- The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tryants. - Thomas Jefferson My Fic Flaspoint: http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/28892000/p1/?0 I have a character who is half OC and half LFL...how mess
