What's your favorite Kevin Smith film?

It will always be Dogma but Clerks is in a close 2nd. I love Alan in Dogma and Brian O'Halloran in Clerks.

Ahil

 

Chasing Amy is mine. The others rank high on my all-time movie list, except maybe Mallrats, although it's still a funny movie. J&SBSB is the funniest, but Chasing Amy has the best story and characters, and is still damn funny to boot.

 

Mallrats! I know S.T. doesn't have the best performance, but you've gotta love Jason Lee as Brodie!

I voted for Clerks, not because of its merits as a film, but because it's just so cheap and crappy that it inspires me to go out and make cheap and crappy films as well!

I do like all of his movies, though.

 

I havent seen Clerks or Chasing Amy yet.

So from the ones i did see, i voted for Mallrats. That movie is so underrated.

 

I would have to go with Dogma becasue it made me laugh at my religon and if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at?

hate the lot

 

Dogma, but they're all great.




Rick McCallum loves you!

 

I voted for Dogma cause its the only one I've seen and it was freaking hilarious!

 

Dogma.

 

sorry, but who's Kevin Smith??? I don't get out much!

 

I noticed.

 

Dogma. I've seen it, Chasing Amy, and Mallrats, and Dogma was the one I enjoyed most.

 

Dogma.

 

I picked Mallrats, how can you not vote for a movie that has a topless person who tells your future?

 

I'm usually reluctant to rank these movies, seeing as I feel guilty for putting one in last place. I already told you that Chasing Amy was my favourite, but here's the list regardless.

1. Chasing Amy
2. Mallrats
3. Clerks
4. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
5. Dogma

Clerks has the most special place in my heart- so I will explain specifically why I rated it 3rd. Again, so as not to feel guilty.

1. Chasing Amy beats Clerks, because it has the same realistic feel, but more substance.

Chasing Amy beats the rest because of said realistic feel and substance as well.

2. Mallrats beats Clerks only by a hair- and that's because I just like the character of Brodie so much. Clerks' writing was better and more original, to be sure, but sometimes I just can't stand watching Dante. He's the Luke Skywalker of the Viewaskewniverse.

Mallrats beats the other movies just due to seniority- I've had longer to love it. Sorry.

3. Clerks beats the two newest movies because it relied more on written humour than visual humour. Anyone can have a naked black man fall out of the sky, or two goons run into a matte painting. But it takes true genius to write something with dialogue as funny as in Clerks.

4. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is the funniest of the 3 slapsticky movies (the other two being Mallrats and Dogma). It's only this low on the list because it's new, and because it is the final step in the de-evolution of Silent Bob from wise straight-man to googly-eyed buffoon.

5. Dogma is at the bottom of the pile for a lot of reasons, but lack of humour isn't one. It's a damn funny movie. But I've never seen someone flush a performance like The Last Scion did in that flick. What a sleepwalk. Not to mention there's just waaaaay too much talking about philosophy and stuff. Everyone who opens their mouth is making a point about something, always with the making a point. It gets seriously boring.

God was a woman, Jesus was black, Catholics mourn their religion, Pro-Choice isn't evil, People miss the point of Christianity, and on and on and on and on. That kind of yakking is unfunny, but what's worse, it's undramatic too. It's just soapboxing.

I hear that this movie was significantly more stirring for Catholics (and Christians in general) though. Perhaps if you don't have anything invested in that religion (like me) those expository dialogues are less interesting than if you are personally trying to deal with what they say.

 

ive seen them all, but chasing amy, but i plan to see it

mallrats it my choice, but it wasnt an easy one

 

Dogma is his best but I voted for Jay and Silent Bob...cracks me up every time even if a lot of it is juvenile. A lot of it is clever too, especially if you're into movies.

"Hey Baby! You ever have your as---" er, nevermind.

 

I'm sorry, no way was Dogma his best movie. Did you even see the other three?

 

Yeah, I've seen all of them a number of times. Dogma is his best, IMO, but they are all good.

 

chasing amy still makes me bust a gut in 2 parts the hooper x rant and when banky realizes hes in a lesbo bar hahahahahha.

ps rent drawing flys and vulgar!

 

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. (excluding Tarantino films and Star Wars).

 

Dogma, especially of you were raised Catholic.

 

heehee, buddy christ was the best

 

Have only seen Jay and Silent Bob, so it wins by default.
